Product details
Overview
APX809-44SAG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3-pin microprocessor reset supervisor IC with active-low push-pull RESET output, precision 4.38 V reset threshold (min 4.29 V, max 4.47 V), 200 ms typical reset timeout, 30 µA typical supply current, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1 V. It monitors 5 V digital power rails in embedded controllers and portable systems to prevent erroneous code execution during brownout or power-up.
For engineers reviewing the APX809-44SAG-7 datasheet, APX809-44SAG-7 pinout, APX809-44SAG-7 application, or APX809-44SAG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±1.5% over temperature), push-pull drive capability (1.2 mA sink), SOT23-3 package compatibility, and validity of reset assertion at low VCC.
Technical Context
The APX809-44SAG-7 integrates a precision voltage comparator with internal reference and a monostable timer to generate a clean, glitch-immune reset pulse. Its reset comparator ignores fast transients on VCC and maintains correct logic state for supply voltages as low as 1 V.
It operates across -40°C to +85°C ambient, features 30 ppm/°C reset threshold tempco, and delivers a guaranteed minimum 140 ms reset timeout (200 ms typical, up to 280 ms) after VCC rises above threshold - ensuring reliable µP initialization in noisy or slow-ramping power environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38 V (typ), 4.29–4.47 V range - ensures reset asserts before 5 V rail drops below 4.3 V, compatible with 5 V ±5% systems |
| Reset Timeout | 200 ms (typ), 140–280 ms - guarantees sufficient hold time for full µP boot sequence |
| Supply Current | 30 µA (typ) at +25°C - enables use in battery-powered devices with multi-year standby life |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor; drives CMOS inputs directly |
| VCC Validity Range | 1.0–5.5 V - reset remains valid down to 1 V, supporting brownout detection in low-voltage recovery |
| ESD Protection | 5 kV HBM - robust handling in manufacturing and field assembly without added protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 (SA package) surface-mount package with 2.4 mm × 1.3 mm footprint, 0.95 mm height, and thermal resistance θJA = 201°C/W on standard FR-4 PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | Power Supply Input | Accepts 1.1–5.5 V; powers internal comparator and timer; must be decoupled locally |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal circuits; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull driver sinks ≥1.2 mA at 0.3 V; asserts logic low during reset; no external pull-up needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.38 V threshold | ±1.5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C ensures deterministic reset point in 5 V systems |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1 V | Enables reliable brownout detection even during deep undervoltage events prior to shutdown |
| No external components required | Reduces BOM count and board area vs. discrete RC reset solutions; simplifies layout and qualification |
| 200 ms typ reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD8-12B requirements for microprocessor power-on reset duration |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Portable Medical Monitors |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power sequencing in DIN-rail mounted programmable logic controllers with 5 V FPGA and MCU subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises main 5 V rail and asserts synchronous reset to both FPGA configuration logic and ARM Cortex-M core. Use Value: Prevents partial configuration or corrupted register states during AC line sags by holding reset until rail stabilizes >4.29 V for ≥140 ms. | Use Scenario: Battery-backed vital signs monitor with low-power sleep mode and rapid wake-on-event. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5 V DC-DC output powering ADC, display driver, and BLE SoC; provides clean reset on battery swap or low-battery cutoff. Use Value: 30 µA quiescent current extends shelf life; 1 V VCC validity ensures reset remains asserted during final battery discharge phase. |
| Network Edge Routers | Automotive Infotainment Head Units |
Use Scenario: Multi-rail power management in fanless enterprise switches with PoE-derived 5 V auxiliary supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects undershoot on isolated 5 V rail caused by transient load switching; triggers hardware reset of packet processor. Use Value: Push-pull output drives reset net without pull-up, eliminating risk of floating node during hot-swap or ESD events. | Use Scenario: 5 V domain supervision in head unit mainboard where ignition-switched supply experiences ripple and dropouts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Resets application processor and audio codec when 5 V rail dips below 4.29 V due to alternator load dump or cold-crank. Use Value: 30 ppm/°C tempco maintains threshold stability across under-hood temperature extremes (-40°C to +85°C). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2T | 4.40 V threshold (±2.5%), 140 ms min timeout, 15 µA ICC, SOT23-3 | Lower quiescent current but wider threshold tolerance; less stable over temperature (50 ppm/°C) | Select for ultra-low-power designs where 0.02 V higher threshold margin is acceptable and tighter tempco is not required. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.08 V threshold, adjustable via external resistor, 200 ms fixed timeout, 12 µA ICC, SOT23-6 | Requires external resistor for 4.38 V setting; larger package; supports manual reset input | Choose only if design requires manual reset capability or future voltage flexibility; adds cost and board space. |
Compared with MAX809TRD2T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the APX809-44SAG-7 offers superior threshold accuracy (±1.5% vs ±2.5%) and temperature stability (30 ppm/°C vs 50 ppm/°C), making it optimal for 5 V systems where precise brownout detection is critical - without requiring external components or larger footprints.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX809-44SAG-7?
The APX809-44SAG-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 4.38 V, with a guaranteed range of 4.29 V to 4.47 V across -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This value is laser-trimmed during production and specified in the DS31322 Rev. 5 datasheet Table 1, confirming its suitability for 5 V ±5% supply monitoring.
Does APX809-44SAG-7 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No. The APX809-44SAG-7 features a push-pull output stage that actively drives RESET low during assertion and high when released. Unlike open-drain supervisors, it does not require an external pull-up resistor - reducing BOM count and eliminating potential noise coupling through resistor parasitics.
Can APX809-44SAG-7 operate reliably below 1.1 V VCC?
No. While the device guarantees correct RESET logic state down to VCC = 1.0 V, its recommended operating VCC range is 1.1 V to 5.5 V per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table. Operation below 1.1 V is outside specification and may result in undefined timing or comparator behavior.
Is APX809-44SAG-7 pin-compatible with APX809-44SRG-7?
Yes. Both APX809-44SAG-7 and APX809-44SRG-7 use identical SOT23-3 pinout (VCC, GND, RESET) and electrical specifications. The "SA" and "SR" suffixes denote minor package variant differences (leadframe material and mold compound), but mechanical and functional pin compatibility is maintained per Diodes' package outline documentation.
