Product details
Overview
APX803L40-43SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply levels in battery-powered and embedded digital systems. It features a fixed 4.3V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 450ms reset timeout, 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient range - deployed in portable medical monitors and low-power IoT edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L40-43SA-7 datasheet, APX803L40-43SA-7 pinout, APX803L40-43SA-7 application, or APX803L40-43SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, sink capability of the open-drain output, and compatibility with SOT23 footprint constraints in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The APX803L40-43SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during threshold crossing. Its internal comparator triggers an active-low open-drain RESET signal when VCC drops below 4.3V, holding reset until VCC exceeds the release threshold (VTH_H = VTH_L + VHYS).
Reset assertion occurs within 20µs of VCC falling below threshold, and the device supports four factory-programmed delay options - this variant uses the 450ms timeout (typ. 450ms at +25°C, varying ±15% over –40°C to +85°C per datasheet Figure 5). No external components are required for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 4.3V ±1.5% - ensures reliable µP reset initiation at defined supply rail margin |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensing nodes |
| Reset Timeout | 450ms (typ.) - provides sufficient hold time for full system power-up sequencing |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Response Time | ≤20µs - guarantees fast fault capture before logic corruption occurs |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and extended-temperature consumer applications |
| VCC Range | 0.9V to 5.5V - accommodates brown-out detection down to near-threshold operation |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 1.3mm × 2.9mm × 1.0mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold accuracy |
| 2 (RESET) | Open-Drain Output | Active-low reset signal; requires external pull-up (typically 10kΩ to VCC or higher rail); sinks ≥3.5mA at VOL ≤0.4V |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Power input pin; accepts 0.9V–5.5V; internal regulation enables operation even during partial brown-out |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.3V threshold | Factory-trimmed bandgap reference eliminates need for external resistor divider or calibration |
| 450ms reset timeout | Guarantees minimum reset pulse width for reliable processor initialization under slow-ramp power supplies |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Reduces design margin requirements versus looser-tolerance supervisors, enabling tighter VCC tolerancing |
| 20µs response time | Prevents metastability or undefined state entry during rapid supply collapse |
| No external components | Reduces BOM count and PCB area; simplifies layout and qualification for safety-critical subsystems |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX803L40-42SA-7 | Same package and 450ms delay, but 4.2V threshold (±1.5%) | Suitable where system brown-out margin is tighter; requires validation of 100mV lower trip point | Select only if 4.2V aligns with your VCC min specification and hysteresis budget permits |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Texas Instruments part; 3.3V threshold, 200ms default delay, 1.6µA supply current | Requires external capacitor for delay adjustment; not drop-in compatible due to different pinout and threshold | Use only when redesigning for TI ecosystem or needing adjustable delay; not a direct replacement |
Compared with APX803L40-43SA-7, the 4.2V variant offers finer margin control for 4.3V nominal rails, while the TPS3808G33DBVR introduces programmability at cost of added component count and layout rework - making the APX803L40-43SA-7 optimal for fixed-threshold, minimal-footprint designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and its tolerance for APX803L40-43SA-7?
The APX803L40-43SA-7 has a factory-set detection threshold of 4.3V with a guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This corresponds to a min/max range of 4.2355V to 4.3645V at +25°C, and the datasheet confirms ±1.5% applies across the full operating temperature range.
Does APX803L40-43SA-7 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is open-drain and active-low, so an external pull-up resistor is mandatory. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ, connected to a stable voltage rail (e.g., same VCC or higher logic rail). The device sinks up to 3.5mA while asserted, with VOL ≤0.4V at that load.
Can APX803L40-43SA-7 operate with supply voltages below 1.0V?
No - the absolute minimum recommended VCC is 0.9V, but functional operation begins reliably above 1.0V. Below 0.9V, the internal bandgap reference and comparator may not stabilize, leading to unpredictable reset behavior. Datasheet Section "Recommended Operating Conditions" specifies 0.9V as the lower limit, with full specs guaranteed from 1.0V onward.
Is APX803L40-43SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - APX803L40-43SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated explicitly states that automotive-grade versions require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing - none of which apply to this SOT23-packaged commercial-grade part. For automotive use, contact Diodes directly for qualified alternatives like the APX809 series.
