The APX803/D is used for microprocessor (µP) supervisory
circuits to monitor the power supplies in µP and digital
systems. They provide excellent circuit reliability and low cost
by eliminating external components and adjustments when
used with +5V, +3.3V, +3.0V powered circuits.
These circuits perform a single function: they assert a reset
signal on power up and whenever the V
declines below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for a
fixed period of time after V
threshold. For the APX803D this period is a minimum of 1ms
while for other APX803 variants it is at least 140ms. The reset
comparator is designed to ignore fast transients on V
the outputs are guaranteed to be in the correct logic state for
V
down to 1V.

The APX803 is available with different reset thresholds
suitable for operation with a variety of supply voltages,
however the APX803D is available with a 2.93V threshold
voltage.
The APX803/D have an open collector active low
output and compliment Diodes APX809/10 which have pushpull output stages.. Low supply current makes the APX803/D
ideal for use in portable equipment. The APX803/D are
available in two pin out variants of the 3-pin SOT23 package.

Microprocessors (µPs) and microcontrollers (µC) have a
reset input to ensure that it starts up in a known state.
The APX803/D drive the µP’s reset input to prevent
code-execution errors during power-up, power-down, or
brownout conditions. They assert a reset signal

When VCC falls below 1V, the APX803/D
output no longer sinks current — it becomes an open
circuit. Therefore, high-impedance CMOS logic inputs

This presents no problem in most applications since
most µP and other circuitry is inoperative with VCC below
1V.
Interfacing to µP with Bidirectional Reset Pins
Since the RESET output on the APX803/D is open drain,
this device interfaces easily with μP/µC that have
bidirectional reset pins, such as the Motorola 68HC11.
Connecting the μP supervisor’s RESET output directly to
the microcontroller’s (μC’s) RESET pin with a single pullup resistor allows either device to assert reset.
Supervising and monitoring Multiple Supplies
Generally, the pull-up resistor connected to the
APX803/D will connect to the supply voltage that is being
monitored at the IC’s V
may use the APX803/D open-drain output to level-shift
from the monitored supply to reset the µP powered by a
different supply voltage or monitor multiple supplies that
will be fed into 1 µC/µP reset input.
