Product details
Overview
APX809S-40SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory functions in digital systems powered by +5V, +3.3V, +3.0V, or +2.5V rails. It asserts an active-low reset signal when VCC drops below 4.00 V (typ.), holds reset for ≥240 ms after VCC recovers, and operates down to VCC = 1.0 V with 7 µA supply current. Used in portable equipment and critical µP power monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the APX809S-40SA-7 datasheet, APX809S-40SA-7 pinout, APX809S-40SA-7 application, or APX809S-40SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±0.06 V), guaranteed reset validity at 1 V VCC, push-pull output drive capability, temperature-stable 30 ppm/°C threshold drift, and SOT23-3 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The APX809S-40SA-7 integrates a precision bandgap reference, comparator, and push-pull output stage in a single die. Its reset assertion logic is triggered solely by VCC crossing the 4.00 V threshold, with built-in hysteresis and transient immunity to suppress false resets from supply noise.
It requires no external components for basic operation and delivers deterministic timing: minimum 140 ms reset timeout, typical 240 ms, and maximum 280 ms across -40°C to +125°C ambient, ensuring reliable power-on sequencing in industrial and automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.00 V (typ.), ±0.06 V tolerance - ensures accurate detection of +5V rail brownout before µP instability occurs |
| Supply Current | 7 µA (typ.) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable devices |
| Reset Timeout | 240 ms (typ.) - meets JEDEC JESD85 requirement for minimum reset pulse width during power-up |
| Operating VCC Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - guarantees valid reset state even during deep brownout or partial power loss |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and supports direct connection to µP RESET pin |
| Temp Coefficient | 30 ppm/°C - maintains threshold stability over full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) |
| Reset Response Delay | 20 µs (max) - detects rapid VCC dips without missing critical undervoltage events |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 (SA) package: ultra-compact 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm surface-mount outline with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be connected directly to system ground plane |
| 2 (RESET) | Active-Low Push-Pull Output | Drives low (≤0.3 V @ 1.2 mA) during reset; high-impedance off-state not applicable - true push-pull eliminates external pull-up |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Monitored power rail input; internally decoupled - no external capacitor required for basic operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.00 V threshold | Guaranteed 3.94–4.05 V range at +25°C ensures compatibility with standard +5V supply tolerances (±5%) |
| No external components needed | Reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete reset circuits; eliminates calibration and drift concerns |
| Valid reset down to 1.0 V VCC | Prevents spurious release during slow power-down or battery sag - critical for graceful µP shutdown |
| 232 °C/W θJA thermal resistance | Enables operation in sealed enclosures up to +125°C ambient without derating |
| 6 kV HBM ESD rating | Withstands handling and board-level transients without protection diodes or layout constraints |
Applications
| Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Node | Industrial PLC CPU Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: A wireless sensor node powered by two AA alkaline cells (1.8–3.2 V) monitors temperature and transmits data intermittently. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage detector supervises the 3.3 V LDO output feeding the MCU and radio; asserts reset if battery voltage sags below safe operating level. Use Value: Prevents corrupted firmware execution or radio transmission errors during brownout, extending field deployment life by avoiding uncontrolled reboots. | Use Scenario: A programmable logic controller uses a 5 V backplane supply to power its ARM-based CPU module and I/O interface ASICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors the 5 V rail and holds CPU in reset until stable post-power-up, synchronizing with FPGA configuration and peripheral initialization. Use Value: Ensures deterministic boot sequence across temperature and voltage variations, eliminating startup race conditions that cause field failures. |
| Medical Handheld Diagnostic Device | Automotive Infotainment Head Unit |
Use Scenario: A portable ultrasound probe with rechargeable Li-ion battery powers a low-power SoC and analog front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects 3.3 V supply collapse during battery swap or deep discharge, forcing controlled shutdown before memory corruption. Use Value: Meets IEC 62304 Class B software safety requirements by guaranteeing fail-safe state transitions under undervoltage. | Use Scenario: An infotainment head unit draws from vehicle battery (9–16 V) via multiple DC/DC converters, including a dedicated 5 V rail for MCU and display controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises the 5 V rail to detect alternator dropout or cold-crank voltage dip, initiating graceful UI freeze and data save before reset. Use Value: Avoids display artifacts or filesystem corruption during engine start, improving perceived reliability and reducing warranty claims. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.00 V threshold, 140 ms min reset timeout, open-drain output requiring external pull-up | Lacks push-pull drive; adds component count and leakage path in low-power sleep modes | Select if legacy design already uses pull-up resistor and requires Maxim footprint compatibility |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3 V threshold (not 4.0 V), adjustable timeout via capacitor, higher 12 µA quiescent current | Incorrect threshold for +5 V rail supervision; requires external timing capacitor and additional layout area | Select only if redesigning for 3.3 V core supply or needing programmable timeout |
Compared with MAX809SEUR+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the APX809S-40SA-7 offers superior integration (no pull-up needed), lower power (7 µA vs. 12–20 µA), and exact 4.00 V threshold alignment for +5 V systems - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and battery-operated designs requiring drop-in reliability.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which APX809S-40SA-7 guarantees correct RESET logic state?
The device guarantees valid reset assertion and de-assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V, as confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. At this voltage, the internal comparator remains functional and the push-pull output maintains specified VOL ≤ 0.3 V (sink) and VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC (source), enabling reliable µP hold during deep brownout.
Does APX809S-40SA-7 require an external capacitor on the RESET pin?
No. The APX809S-40SA-7 features a push-pull output architecture and does not require an external pull-up capacitor or resistor. Its output drives actively high or low without external components, unlike open-drain supervisors that mandate pull-up networks for proper logic levels.
How does the 240 ms typical reset timeout behave across temperature?
The reset timeout varies from 140 ms (min) to 280 ms (max) across -40°C to +125°C, with typical 240 ms at +25°C. This monotonic variation is characterized in the datasheet's "RESET Active Timeout Period vs. Temperature" plot and ensures compliance with JEDEC timing requirements under all operating conditions.
Can APX809S-40SA-7 be used to monitor a 3.3 V supply?
No - the APX809S-40SA-7 is factory-trimmed to a 4.00 V threshold (3.94–4.05 V range) and is intended for +5 V rail supervision. For 3.3 V systems, Diodes offers the APX809S-31SA-7 (3.08 V threshold) or APX809S-33SA-7 (3.30 V threshold), both in identical SOT23-3 packaging and electrical interface.
