Product details
Overview
APX812-29UG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 4-pin microprocessor supervisor IC with manual reset input and active-high push-pull RESET output, designed for precise 2.93 V supply monitoring in industrial systems. It features a fixed 200 ms power-on reset timeout, operates from 1.1 V to 5.5 V, supports -40°C to +85°C ambient range, and is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOT143 package. Used in embedded controllers and battery-powered instrumentation to prevent erroneous MCU startup during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the APX812-29UG-7 datasheet, APX812-29UG-7 pinout, APX812-29UG-7 application, or APX812-29UG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±1.5% over temperature), MR input timing compatibility, push-pull drive capability (800 µA source), and SOT143 thermal performance (θJA = 240°C/W).
Technical Context
The APX812-29UG-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a factory-trimmed 2.93 V threshold, with ±1.5% tolerance over full temperature range. Its internal delay circuit ensures minimum 240 ms RESET assertion after VCC recovery, independent of supply ramp rate.
It integrates an active-low manual reset (MR) input that forces RESET high regardless of VCC level, and uses a push-pull output stage to eliminate external pull-up/pull-down components. The device asserts RESET high when VCC < 2.93 V or MR is low, and releases RESET after ≥240 ms once VCC exceeds threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93 V ±1.5% (ensures reliable detection at 2.93 V nominal supply with minimal false triggering) |
| Reset Timeout | 200 ms typ., ≥240 ms min (guarantees sufficient MCU initialization time after power stabilization) |
| Supply Range | 1.1 V to 5.5 V (supports 2.5 V, 3.0 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V systems without external biasing) |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-high RESET (drives high to 0.8×VCC at 800 µA; no external resistor required) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (fully specified for industrial-grade reliability without derating) |
| Quiescent Current | 30–40 µA at VCC = VTH + 0.2 V (enables long battery life in portable equipment) |
| ESD Rating | 3 kV HBM (robust handling during PCB assembly and field service) |
Pinout & Package
SOT143 4-pin surface-mount package: 2.9 mm × 1.5 mm footprint, 1.1 mm height, lead-free matte tin finish, RoHS compliant, green molding compound (no Br/Sb).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | Positive supply input | Accepts 1.1–5.5 V; powers internal reference, comparator, and output driver |
| 2 (MR) | Manual reset input | Active-low; pulls RESET high when asserted, overriding VCC monitoring |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-high reset output | Push-pull output; drives high to ≥0.8×VCC at 800 µA; sinks 3.2 mA max when low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision reset threshold | 2.93 V ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for external trimming or calibration |
| Fixed 200 ms timeout | Guaranteed ≥240 ms assertion - meets JEDEC JESD78 requirements for MCU reset hold time |
| Push-pull active-high output | No external pull-up required - reduces BOM count and board space vs. open-drain alternatives |
| Manual reset input (MR) | Asynchronous, active-low control - enables system-level reset initiation independent of supply status |
| Low quiescent current | 30–40 µA typical - extends runtime in always-on battery-backed applications such as smart sensors |
Applications
| Industrial Controllers | Portable Medical Sensors |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: PLC I/O modules operating in factory environments with fluctuating 3.3 V rail due to motor switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3 V VCC, asserts active-high RESET to ARM Cortex-M4 during brownouts, holds for ≥240 ms post-recovery. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption by ensuring MCU remains held in reset until stable 3.3 V is confirmed and internal clocks settle. |
Use Scenario: Handheld glucose meter powered by single Li-ion cell (2.8–4.2 V range) with intermittent display backlight load. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects VCC drop below 2.93 V during battery sag, triggers active-high RESET to MSP430F5xx before ADC sampling begins. Use Value: Guarantees consistent measurement validity by blocking data acquisition until supply recovers fully. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Smart Energy Meters |
|
Use Scenario: 12 V-to-3.3 V converted subsystem in door module exposed to load dump transients and cold-crank voltage dips. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises post-regulator 3.3 V rail; MR tied to vehicle ignition signal to force synchronized reset on key-on. Use Value: Enables deterministic boot sequence across multiple ECUs by combining power-fail detection and ignition-triggered reset. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted electricity meter with isolated RS-485 interface and real-time clock backup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3 V logic rail; RESET output drives enable pin of RTC backup switcher to preserve timekeeping during main supply interruption. Use Value: Maintains accurate timestamping during brief AC outages by coordinating power-path control with supervisor state. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326–UR29 | 2.93 V threshold, 200 ms timeout, but open-drain active-low output; requires external pull-up | Lacks MR input; not suitable where system-level manual reset coordination is required | Select only if existing design already uses pull-up and does not require MR functionality |
| TPS3808G12 | 2.93 V threshold, adjustable timeout (via capacitor), push-pull active-high output, but higher ICC (1.2 µA typ.) | Supports programmable delay up to 2 s; larger SOT23-6 footprint increases layout area | Prefer when variable timeout or tighter supply current spec (<1 µA) is critical; avoid for space-constrained SOT143 layouts |
Compared with MAX6326–UR29 and TPS3808G12, the APX812-29UG-7 delivers identical threshold accuracy and timeout in the smallest possible footprint (SOT143), while integrating MR without increasing pin count-making it optimal for cost- and space-sensitive industrial controllers.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX812-29UG-7, and how tightly is it specified?
The APX812-29UG-7 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.93 V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±1.5% over the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). This specification is verified per DS31960 Rev. 2, page 4, Electrical Characteristics table, VTH parameter row. No external calibration is needed.
Does APX812-29UG-7 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No. The APX812-29UG-7 features a push-pull output stage capable of sourcing up to 800 µA and sinking up to 3.2 mA. Its active-high RESET output drives fully to 0.8×VCC when high and to ≤0.4 V when low, eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors in standard applications.
How does the manual reset (MR) input interact with the power-on reset timeout?
The MR input is asynchronous and overrides VCC monitoring: asserting MR low forces RESET high immediately, regardless of VCC level. When MR is released, RESET remains high for the full 200 ms timeout period-even if VCC is already above threshold-ensuring deterministic release timing.
Can APX812-29UG-7 operate reliably down to 1.1 V supply voltage?
Yes. The device is fully functional across 1.1 V to 5.5 V, with all electrical characteristics-including reset threshold accuracy, timeout duration, and output drive strength-specified over this range per DS31960 Rev. 2, Recommended Operating Conditions table (page 3).
