Product details
Overview
APX803L-40SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 4.0V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 1µA typical supply current, and 450ms reset timeout - used in battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical devices to ensure reliable power-on reset sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-40SA-7 datasheet, APX803L-40SA-7 pinout, APX803L-40SA-7 application, or APX803L-40SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include open-drain active-low reset output, fixed internal 4.0V threshold, 450ms recovery delay, SOT23-3 package compatibility, and operation down to 0.9V supply voltage.
Technical Context
The APX803L-40SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during VCC transitions near threshold. Its internal comparator triggers an open-drain RESET signal when VCC drops below 4.0V and holds it low until VCC exceeds 4.0V + hysteresis.
It integrates a temperature-compensated timing circuit delivering a guaranteed 450ms (min–max: 292–608ms) reset pulse width across –40°C to +85°C ambient, with no external capacitor required. The device operates from 0.9V to 5.5V supply and draws only 1µA typical current at VTH + 0.2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.0V ±1.5% - precisely monitors 4.0V rail without calibration or trimming |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring |
| Reset Timeout | 450ms (typ.), 292–608ms (min–max) - ensures full system initialization before release |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset buses and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Response Time | 20µs max - detects rapid VCC collapse before µP executes invalid instructions |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V - functions during brown-out and startup of 1.2V–5.0V logic supplies |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
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 bias and output sink current; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 - RESET | Open-Drain Output | Active-low reset signal; requires external pull-up (typically 10kΩ to VCC or VBAT) to drive µP /RESET pin |
| 3 - VCC | Supply Input | Monitored power rail input; powers internal circuitry and defines detection reference point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature | Ensures deterministic reset assertion across –40°C to +85°C without derating margins |
| 450ms factory-programmed timeout | Guarantees sufficient hold time for flash memory initialization and PLL lock in µP systems |
| 1µA typical supply current | Reduces quiescent load on coin-cell or energy-harvesting sources by >90% vs. legacy supervisors |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803E40DBZR | 4.0V threshold, 350ms timeout (typ.), 0.6µA ICC, SOT23-3 | Shorter timeout may not satisfy FPGA configuration timing; lower current benefits ultra-low-power designs | Select if 350ms suffices and sub-1µA current is critical; verify reset hold time against target µP datasheet |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.0V threshold, 240ms timeout (min), 10µA ICC, SOT23-3 | Higher supply current reduces battery life; shorter timeout risks incomplete initialization under slow-ramp conditions | Use only in line-powered or high-current systems where 10µA is acceptable and 240ms meets timing budget |
Compared with TLV803E40DBZR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-40SA-7 delivers longer guaranteed reset hold time (450ms vs. 350ms/240ms) and tighter threshold accuracy (±1.5% vs. ±2.0%/±2.5%), making it preferable for safety-critical or slow-starting embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803L-40SA-7?
The APX803L-40SA-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 4.0V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C), meaning the actual trip point falls between 3.94V and 4.06V at +25°C and remains within ±1.5% across its full operating range.
Does APX803L-40SA-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 (typically 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ) to a valid logic voltage (e.g., VCC or separate 3.3V rail) is mandatory to generate a defined high state when not asserted.
Can APX803L-40SA-7 operate with supply voltages below 1.0V?
No - the absolute minimum recommended supply voltage is 0.9V per datasheet, but functional reset detection begins only when VCC reaches ≥1.02×VTH (≥4.08V). Below 0.9V, the device is outside Absolute Maximum Ratings and may behave unpredictably.
Is APX803L-40SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - APX803L-40SA-7 is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, Diodes offers the APX803L-40SA-7Q variant (with Q suffix), which undergoes additional stress testing and PPAP documentation.
