Product details
Overview
APX803L-50SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply integrity in battery-powered and low-power digital systems. It features a fixed 5.0V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and 0ms reset timeout - enabling immediate fault response in portable electronics and embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-50SA-7 datasheet, APX803L-50SA-7 pinout, APX803L-50SA-7 application, or APX803L-50SA-7 equivalent, this device serves as a precision, ultra-low-quiescent-power reset supervisor where fast release timing, high threshold stability over temperature, and minimal board footprint are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The APX803L-50SA-7 implements a comparator-based detection architecture with built-in hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during supply ramp-up/down. Its internal reference ensures stable 5.0V threshold operation across -40°C to +85°C ambient range, with temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/°C.
As a single-supply, three-terminal device, it requires no external components and delivers sub-20µs reset assertion delay upon VCC drop below threshold. The 0ms timeout variant provides instantaneous reset deassertion once VCC exceeds 5.0V × 1.02, supporting tight power sequencing in microcontroller boot sequences.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 5.0V ±1.5% - precise brown-out detection for 5V logic rails without calibration |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.) - negligible load on coin-cell or energy-harvesting supplies |
| Reset Response Time | <20µs - ensures reliable µP reset before supply collapse destabilizes core logic |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - enables wired-OR reset bus and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports operation down to near-threshold VCC, enabling early fault detection |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (50mV) - prevents chatter during slow supply recovery |
| Temperature Coefficient | 50 ppm/°C - maintains <±20mV drift over full -40°C to +85°C range |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.45mm height; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, lead-free construction.
| 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 Reset Output | Active-low signal asserted when VCC < 5.0V; requires external pull-up to host logic voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Monitored power rail input; powers internal circuitry and defines detection reference point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA typ. - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications beyond 10 years |
| Fixed 5.0V threshold | Factory-trimmed, no external resistor network required - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| High accuracy & stability | ±1.5% initial tolerance + 50 ppm/°C drift - eliminates need for system-level recalibration |
| Zero-delay reset timeout | 0ms active timeout - enables immediate processor restart upon valid supply restoration |
| Robust ESD protection | ±4000V HBM - withstands handling and board assembly stress without derating |
Applications
| Smartphone Power Sequencing | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803E50DBZR | 5.0V threshold, 0.8µA IQ, but only 0ms/200ms timeout options; SOT23-3 pinout identical | Lacks 55ms/450ms variants; tighter VTH tolerance (±0.5%) but higher cost | Choose for lower IQ and higher accuracy where timeout flexibility is not required |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 5.0V threshold, 1.2µA IQ, fixed 240ms timeout; same SOT23-3 footprint | Non-zero timeout limits use in fast-recovery systems; less accurate (±2.5%) and higher tempco (100 ppm/°C) | Choose only if legacy MAX809 compatibility or long timeout is mandatory |
Compared with TLV803E50DBZR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-50SA-7 uniquely balances ultra-low IQ, high threshold accuracy, and zero-delay reset release - making it optimal for battery-sensitive, fast-boot applications where timing determinism is essential.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for APX803L-50SA-7?
The APX803L-50SA-7 operates down to 0.9V supply voltage, enabling detection functionality even as the monitored 5V rail collapses. This allows early fault recognition before downstream logic becomes unstable, and is verified per Recommended Operating Conditions in DS38171 Rev. 3–2.
Does APX803L-50SA-7 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is open-drain and must be pulled up to the target logic voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) via an external resistor. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ; the datasheet specifies maximum sink current of 20mA, supporting robust noise immunity in noisy environments.
Can APX803L-50SA-7 be used with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes - the open-drain RESET output is voltage-agnostic and compatible with 3.3V logic when pulled up to 3.3V. The device monitors its own VCC pin (5V rail), not the MCU's I/O voltage, so level translation is unnecessary and system integration is simplified.
Is APX803L-50SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - APX803L-50SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade alternatives (e.g., APX803L-50SA-7T with extended temp range and PPAP support), but this specific tape-and-reel variant is intended for industrial and consumer applications per its ordering information and qualification status.
