Product details
Overview
APX824-46W5G-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-threshold processor supervisory IC with active-high reset output, 4.63V negative-going supply voltage detection (VTH-), 200ms typical reset delay (td), 1.6s watchdog timeout (ttout), and SOT25-5 package. It monitors VCC in DSP/microprocessor systems, asserts RESET when VCC drops below threshold or watchdog expires, and requires no external components.
For engineers reviewing the APX824-46W5G-7 datasheet, APX824-46W5G-7 pinout, APX824-46W5G-7 application, or APX824-46W5G-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.63V supervision threshold, active-high RESET output, integrated watchdog timer with 1.12–2.4s timeout range, manual reset absence (distinguishing it from APX823/APX825A), and -40°C to +85°C operating range.
Technical Context
The APX824-46W5G-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference for stable 4.63V (±30mV) threshold detection with 50mV hysteresis, ensuring immunity to supply noise during power-up/down transitions. Its internal RC timer generates a fixed 140–280ms reset pulse width after VCC exceeds VTH-, independent of external capacitance.
Watchdog supervision operates on edge-triggered WDI input: any rising or falling transition reinitializes the 1.12–2.4s timeout window; unconnected WDI disables watchdog functionality. The device lacks MR input-unlike APX823/APX825A-making it suitable for systems requiring only power-supply and watchdog monitoring without manual intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTH- Threshold | 4.63V ±30mV at TA=25°C; ensures reliable reset assertion when 5V rail dips below safe operating level |
| Reset Delay td | 200ms typical; guarantees sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout ttout | 1.6s typical; provides fail-safe recovery window for firmware lockup detection |
| Supply Current ICC | 30μA typical at VCC=VTH-+0.2V; enables low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| Output Type | Active-high RESET; directly interfaces with processors requiring high-level reset assertion |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; supports industrial-grade embedded applications without derating |
| ESD Rating | 5kV HBM; protects against handling-induced electrostatic discharge during assembly |
Pinout & Package
SOT25-5 surface-mount package (3.0×2.8×1.3mm body, 0.95mm pitch), RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, moisture sensitivity level 3 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | Power supply input | Accepts 1.1V–5.5V DC; powers internal reference, timer, and output driver |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 (RESET) | Active-high reset output | Drives high (≥0.8×VCC) when VCC ≥ VTH- and watchdog not triggered; sinks 3mA max |
| 4 (WDI) | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive trigger; rising/falling transitions reset timeout counter; floating = watchdog disabled |
| 5 (NC) | No connect | Internally unused pin; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid malfunction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.63V supervision threshold | Eliminates need for external resistor divider; ensures consistent reset point across temperature (-40°C to +85°C) |
| 200ms factory-trimmed reset delay | Guarantees deterministic timing without capacitor tolerance drift or aging effects |
| Edge-triggered watchdog timer | Supports both rising and falling edges on WDI; simplifies firmware integration versus level-sensitive designs |
| 30μA ultra-low quiescent current | Reduces standby power in always-on systems; extends battery life in portable equipment |
| Active-high RESET output | Directly drives reset inputs of modern MCUs/MPUs without external inverter logic |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Wireless Baseband Processors |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time control logic in programmable logic controllers where unexpected power sags or firmware hangs must trigger immediate system reset. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor and watchdog monitor; asserts active-high RESET within 25μs of VCC drop below 4.63V or WDI timeout expiration. Use Value: Prevents corrupted I/O states by enforcing clean restart before control loop execution resumes. | Use Scenario: Power management in LTE/5G baseband SoCs where RF subsystem stability depends on deterministic boot sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset generator with 200ms delay and 1.6s watchdog; coordinates power-rail sequencing with SoC reset controller. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete RC reset networks, reducing BOM count and board space while improving timing accuracy. |
| Notebook System Management | Smart Energy Meters |
Use Scenario: Embedded controller supervision in laptop EC firmware, monitoring main 5V rail and detecting host CPU hang conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-function supervisor: power-on reset generator (200ms delay) and watchdog timer (1.6s timeout) with active-high output compatible with Intel PCH reset requirements. Use Value: Enables reliable recovery from BIOS corruption or thermal shutdown events without requiring motherboard-level reset circuit redesign. | Use Scenario: Tamper-resistant metering platforms where sustained power interruption or software fault must force secure reboot. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Critical safety monitor asserting RESET on 5V rail collapse or missed WDI pulse; operates over full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Use Value: Meets IEC 62056-21 compliance for reset reliability under brownout conditions and electromagnetic interference. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar processor supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX824-44W5G-7 | 4.38V supervision threshold (vs. 4.63V); identical timing, package, and features | Targeted at 4.5V nominal rails instead of 5V; lower threshold increases noise margin but reduces headroom | Select when system VCC nominal is 4.5V and tighter brownout detection is required |
| APX825A-46W6G-7 | SOT26-6 package (adds MR pin); same 4.63V threshold and timing specs | Enables manual reset capability via MR input; requires different PCB footprint and layout | Choose if hardware-initiated reset (e.g., front-panel button) is needed alongside power/watchdog supervision |
Compared with APX824-46W5G-7, the -44 variant offers earlier reset assertion for 4.5V systems, while the -46W6G-7 adds manual reset flexibility at the cost of larger footprint and additional routing-neither is pin-compatible, requiring board revision for substitution.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 5 (NC) on APX824-46W5G-7?
Pin 5 is a no-connect terminal with no internal connection. It must remain unconnected in the PCB layout per the datasheet; soldering or routing to this pin may cause unpredictable behavior or damage. This distinguishes APX824 from APX825A, which uses Pin 5 for MR functionality in the SOT26 package.
Can APX824-46W5G-7 be used with a 3.3V supply rail?
No-APX824-46W5G-7 is specified for 4.63V threshold operation and requires VCC ≥ 1.1V to enable reset functionality, but its VTH- is optimized for 5V systems. Using it on 3.3V would result in permanent RESET assertion since VCC never reaches the 4.63V threshold; select APX824-31W5G-7 (3.08V) or APX824-29W5G-7 (2.93V) instead.
How does the watchdog timer respond to WDI signal transitions?
The watchdog timer resets on every rising or falling edge at WDI-no specific pulse width or duty cycle is required. A single transition suffices to restart the 1.12–2.4s timeout window. If WDI remains static (high or low), the timer expires and forces RESET assertion; leaving WDI unconnected disables watchdog entirely.
Is APX824-46W5G-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No-APX824-46W5G-7 is characterized for -40°C to +85°C operation and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, Diodes offers separate AEC-Q100 grade versions (e.g., APX824Q series) with extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C), PPAP documentation, and IATF 16949 manufacturing certification.
