Product details
Overview
APX803L-44SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply levels in embedded digital systems. It features a fixed 4.4V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and 450ms built-in recovery delay - enabling reliable power-up sequencing in battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-44SA-7 datasheet, APX803L-44SA-7 pinout, APX803L-44SA-7 application, or APX803L-44SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset timeout stability over temperature, low-quiescent-current impact on system battery life, and SOT23 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The APX803L-44SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during VCC brownout recovery. Its comparator drives an open-drain NMOS output stage capable of sinking ≥3.5mA at 0.4V drop, supporting direct interface to µP reset inputs without external pull-up resistors.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient, with threshold voltage drift limited to ±50 ppm/°C and reset assertion time under 20µs - ensuring deterministic behavior in automotive body control modules and industrial PLC I/O supervisors where timing predictability is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 4.4V ±1.5% - precise power rail monitoring for 3.3V/5V systems with margin against false resets |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered wearables |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 450ms - ensures stable µP initialization after power ramp-up in DC-DC converter outputs |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset bus architectures and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.9V to 5.5V - functions during deep brownout conditions down to sub-1V backup rails |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (≈44mV) - prevents chatter during slow VCC recovery near trip point |
| Reset Assertion Time | <20µs - meets tight timing budgets for ARM Cortex-M real-time boot sequences |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.45mm height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground return path for internal comparator and voltage reference |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain output; pulled low when VCC < 4.4V, high-impedance otherwise |
| 3 | VCC | Power input pin; supplies internal circuitry and senses monitored supply rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low supply current | 1.0µA typ. - eliminates measurable load on energy-harvesting power sources |
| Fixed 4.4V threshold | Factory-trimmed, no external resistor network required - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| 450ms recovery delay | Internally generated, temperature-stable - removes need for external RC timing components |
| Open-drain RESET | Compatible with 1.8V–5.5V µP reset inputs - simplifies level-shifting in mixed-voltage systems |
| High accuracy | ±1.5% threshold tolerance - ensures robust operation across full industrial temperature range |
Applications
| Smart Wearable Power Monitor | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 350ms delay, 1.6µA supply current | Not suitable for 4.4V detection; requires external resistor for adjustable variants | Select only if system uses 3.3V rail and needs tighter delay tolerance (±10% vs. ±20%) |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.63V threshold, 140ms delay, 10µA supply current | Higher quiescent current limits use in multi-year battery applications | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 4.63V trip point aligns with legacy 5V regulator specs |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-44SA-7 delivers exact 4.4V detection with lowest supply current and longest factory-programmed delay - making it optimal for next-gen ultra-low-power edge nodes requiring precise, maintenance-free supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage of APX803L-44SA-7?
The APX803L-44SA-7 has a factory-trimmed detection threshold of 4.4V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This value is fixed internally and does not require external components - confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table (DS38171 Rev. 3-2, p.3).
Does APX803L-44SA-7 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is open-drain and must be pulled up externally to a valid logic-high voltage (e.g., VCC or another supply rail). Typical pull-up values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ; the device sinks ≥3.5mA at 0.4V drop when asserted (DS38171 p.3).
Can APX803L-44SA-7 operate with supply voltages below 1.0V?
No - the minimum operating VCC is 0.9V per Recommended Operating Conditions (DS38171 p.3), but reliable reset assertion requires VCC ≥ threshold voltage (4.4V). Below 0.9V, device behavior is undefined and not guaranteed.
Is APX803L-44SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
The APX803L-44SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes specifies that automotive-grade variants require explicit qualification and PPAP documentation - contact Diodes directly for AEC-compliant alternatives like the APX803L-44SA-7Q variant (if available) or APX809 series.
