Product details
Overview
APX803L-43W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply levels in embedded and battery-powered systems. It features a fixed 4.3V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and 220ms reset timeout. Used in portable instrumentation and low-power microcontroller power-up sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-43W5-7 datasheet, APX803L-43W5-7 pinout, APX803L-43W5-7 application, or APX803L-43W5-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Diodes Incorporated's DS38171 Rev. 3-2 specification.
Technical Context
The APX803L-43W5-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during threshold crossing. Its internal comparator triggers an open-drain RESET signal when VCC drops below 4.3V and holds it low until VCC exceeds the release threshold (VTH + hysteresis).
It integrates a factory-programmed 220ms recovery delay (APX803L20 variant), operates from 0.9V to 5.5V supply, and delivers sub-20µs reset assertion latency. No external components are required - the device functions as a self-contained power-on reset (POR) and brown-out detection (BOD) solution.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Voltage | 4.3V ±1.5% - precise brown-out threshold for 4.5V nominal rails, ensuring reliable µP reset before logic corruption. |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.) - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices without compromising battery life. |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms - provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping supplies and stable clock initialization in µC systems. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset buses and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5.5V). |
| Response Time | <20µs - guarantees rapid fault capture during transient undervoltage events. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
| Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (≈43mV) - prevents chatter near threshold during noisy or slowly recovering supply conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin) package with two NC pins; compact footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance (θJA = 200°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane. |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pull-up to define logic-high level and drive strength. |
| 3 | VCC | Power input pin; supplies internal circuitry and senses monitored voltage rail directly. |
| 4, 5 | NC | No connection - left unconnected per datasheet; no internal bonding or function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 1.0µA typical supply current enables integration into always-on sensor nodes and energy-harvesting systems. |
| Fixed 4.3V Threshold | Factory-trimmed detection point eliminates external resistor networks and calibration overhead. |
| 220ms Delay Option | Internally generated timing ensures consistent reset duration across temperature and voltage variations. |
| Open-Drain Output | Allows shared reset bus architecture and interface with mixed-voltage logic families (e.g., 1.8V/3.3V/5V domains). |
| RoHS & Green Compliant | Fully lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free construction meets IEC 61249-2-21 and JEDEC JS709E standards. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered glucose meters requiring guaranteed reset on cold-start and low-battery brownout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power-on reset generator and supply monitor; asserts RESET until VCC stabilizes above 4.3V and holds for 220ms. Use Value: Prevents firmware execution from corrupted memory states during marginal battery voltage transitions. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted I/O expansion modules operating from 5V DC input with variable load transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Brown-out detector tied to 5V rail; triggers system-wide reset if input dips below 4.3V due to cable drop or surge. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete RC timing networks and improves reset repeatability across temperature (-40°C to +85°C). |
| Smart Home Hub Controllers | Asset Tracking Beacons |
|
Use Scenario: Wi-Fi/BLE hub with dual-rail power (3.3V core, 5V USB) where 3.3V LDO may sag under RF transmit load. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3V domain via resistive divider scaled to 4.3V input; provides clean reset pulse to SoC. Use Value: Enables accurate voltage scaling without adding quiescent current from external supervisor ICs. |
Use Scenario: GPS-enabled logistics tag powered by CR2032 coin cell, waking every 15 minutes for location burst transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises main 3.0V supply rail; detects end-of-life voltage collapse and forces controlled shutdown. Use Value: Extends usable battery life by avoiding premature resets and enabling graceful state save before power loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803E43DBVR | 4.3V threshold, 0.5µA ICC (lower), but only 0ms/200ms delay options; SOT-23-3 package (no NC pins). | Requires external RC network for non-standard delays; less suitable for space-constrained 5-pin layouts. | Prefer when ultra-low current dominates over package compatibility and delay granularity. |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.3V threshold, 15µA ICC (15× higher), 240ms delay, same SOT-23-3 footprint. | Higher supply current limits use in multi-year battery applications; thermal derating needed above 70°C. | Choose only if legacy MAX809 qualification or second-source validation is mandatory. |
Compared with TLV803E43DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-43W5-7 uniquely balances ultra-low ICC (1µA), precise 220ms timing, and SOT25 packaging - delivering optimal fit for next-gen compact, long-life embedded supervisors where pin count and power efficiency are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage of APX803L-43W5-7?
The APX803L-43W5-7 has a factory-trimmed detection threshold of 4.3V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (−40°C to +85°C), corresponding to the "43" in the part number and confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table on page 3 of DS38171 Rev. 3-2.
Does APX803L-43W5-7 require external components to operate?
No. The device operates autonomously with only VCC, GND, and RESET connections. Its 4.3V threshold is internally fixed, the 220ms delay is factory-programmed, and the open-drain output requires only an external pull-up resistor - no capacitors or resistors for timing or threshold setting are needed.
Can APX803L-43W5-7 be used with a 3.3V supply rail?
Yes - but only when monitoring a scaled voltage. Since its detection threshold is 4.3V, a resistive divider must be used to map the 3.3V rail to 4.3V at the VCC pin (e.g., 3.3V × (R1+R2)/R2 = 4.3V). Direct connection to 3.3V will not trigger reset, as VCC must exceed 4.3V for release.
What does the "W5" in APX803L-43W5-7 signify?
"W5" denotes the SOT25 package per Diodes' ordering guide (page 7 of DS38171): a 5-pin variant with pins 1=GND, 2=RESET, 3=VCC, and pins 4–5 as NC. This differs from SOT23/SOT323/SC59 variants and enables layout flexibility in dense designs where 3-pin packages cause routing congestion.
