Product details
Overview
APX803L-45SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 4.5V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 1µA typical supply current, and 450ms reset timeout. It features open-drain active-low RESET output and operates across –40°C to +85°C in battery-powered instrumentation and portable embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-45SA-7 datasheet, APX803L-45SA-7 pinout, APX803L-45SA-7 application, or APX803L-45SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 4.5V detection threshold, SOT23-3 package compatibility, 450ms recovery delay, and low-quiescent-current supervision for power-sensitive µP reset management.
Technical Context
The APX803L-45SA-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 4.5V and holds it low until VCC exceeds 4.5V + hysteresis.
It integrates a factory-programmed 450ms reset timeout (tDELAY), requires no external components, and delivers fast 20µs response time from VCC drop to RESET assertion-enabling reliable power-on and brownout recovery in resource-constrained digital systems.

Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered glucose meters and pulse oximeters requiring guaranteed reset on Li-ion voltage sag. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting active-low RESET to halt MCU execution until regulated 3.3V rail stabilizes post-battery insertion. Use Value: 1µA quiescent current extends single-CR2032 battery life beyond 5 years; 450ms timeout accommodates slow LDO startup. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted programmable logic controllers monitoring 24V DC field power rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises local 5V logic supply derived from 24V-to-5V buck converter; asserts RESET if input dips below 4.5V. Use Value: ±1.5% threshold accuracy prevents nuisance resets during normal 24V ripple; SOT23-3 eases thermal relief on dense I/O board. |
| Smart Home Hub Gateways | Automotive Body Control Modules (Non-AEC) |
|
Use Scenario: Wi-Fi/Zigbee gateways powered by USB-C PD adapters with variable 5V/9V/15V outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5V rail feeding SoC and RF transceivers; provides clean reset pulse after adapter hot-plug events. Use Value: 20µs response captures sub-millisecond dips; open-drain output interfaces directly to SoC's dedicated reset pin. |
Use Scenario: Aftermarket lighting controllers using 12V automotive battery with wide cold-crank voltage excursions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 5V microcontroller supply during engine start (6.5V–14.5V battery swing); holds RESET low until stable. Use Value: –40°C to +85°C rating covers under-hood ambient; 450ms delay avoids false triggers during cranking transients. |
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; 200ms default delay; 2.5µA supply current | Requires redesign for 3.3V systems; lacks 4.5V option | Select only if target rail is 3.3V and longer delay is acceptable |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.63V threshold; ±2.5% accuracy; 140ms delay; 10µA supply current | Higher threshold tolerance and quiescent draw reduce margin in low-power designs | Use where 4.63V matches legacy design; avoid in new ultra-low-IQ applications |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-45SA-7 uniquely delivers 4.5V detection at 1µA IQ with 450ms timing-making it optimal for next-gen portable equipment where exact 4.5V supervision and multi-year battery life are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage for APX803L-45SA-7?
The APX803L-45SA-7 has a factory-trimmed detection threshold of 4.5V with ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. This value is fixed internally and does not require external configuration. Electrical characterization data confirms typical hysteresis of 0.01×VTH, or ~45mV, ensuring noise immunity during threshold crossing.
Can APX803L-45SA-7 be used with a 3.3V microcontroller I/O pin?
Yes-the open-drain RESET output is compatible with 3.3V logic when pulled up to 3.3V via an external resistor. The device's VCC pin accepts 0.9V–5.5V, so it can monitor a 4.5V rail while interfacing to a 3.3V MCU. Output low voltage is ≤0.4V at 3.5mA sink, guaranteeing solid logic-low recognition.
Does APX803L-45SA-7 require an external capacitor for stability?
No external capacitor is required. The APX803L-45SA-7 integrates all necessary timing and filtering functions internally. The datasheet explicitly states "No External Components Required," and the 450ms reset timeout is generated by an on-chip RC network-eliminating capacitor aging, tolerance, and placement concerns.
Is APX803L-45SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
APX803L-45SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L-45SA-7Q) with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing, but this specific part number is intended for industrial and consumer applications. For automotive use, contact Diodes' automotive sales team for qualified alternatives.
