Product details
Overview
2SA1163-BL,LF from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a silicon PNP epitaxial transistor qualified to AEC-Q101, designed for audio frequency general-purpose amplifier stages. It delivers VCEO = −120 V, hFE = 350–700 (BL grade), NF = 1 dB (typ.) at 1 kHz, and fT = 100 MHz, enabling high-fidelity preamplifier and driver applications in automotive audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the 2SA1163-BL,LF datasheet, 2SA1163-BL,LF pinout, 2SA1163-BL,LF application, or 2SA1163-BL,LF equivalent, key selection considerations include its −120 V breakdown rating, low-noise performance under 10 kΩ source impedance, complementary pairing with 2SC2713, and TO-236MOD (SC-59) surface-mount compatibility in space-constrained analog signal paths.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor employs Toshiba's PCT (Planar Collector Technology) process for stable hFE linearity-confirmed as hFE(−0.1 mA)/hFE(−2 mA) = 0.95 (typ.)-and low base-emitter leakage (IEBO ≤ −0.1 µA). Its −120 V VCBO and VCEO ratings support high-voltage biasing in discrete gain blocks without cascading.
The device operates with IC ≤ −100 mA and PC = 200 mW (on FR4 board), delivering fT = 100 MHz at VCE = −6 V/IC = −1 mA. Cob = 4 pF (VCB = −10 V) and NF = 1 dB (typ.) at 1 kHz confirm suitability for wideband, low-distortion small-signal amplification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −120 V: Enables use in high-voltage audio supply rails up to ±60 V without breakdown risk. |
| hFE range | 350–700 (BL grade): Ensures consistent current gain across production lots for predictable biasing in Class-A amplifiers. |
| NF | 1 dB (typ.) at 1 kHz: Minimizes audible noise in microphone preamps and line-level stages. |
| fT | 100 MHz: Supports stable gain up to mid-audio frequencies with margin for phase compensation. |
| Cob | 4 pF: Limits Miller capacitance to preserve bandwidth in common-emitter configurations. |
| Package | TO-236MOD (SC-59): 3-pin SMT footprint compatible with automated assembly and thermal relief pads. |
Pinout & Package
2SA1163-BL,LF uses the JEDEC TO-236MOD (JEITA SC-59) package: compact 3-pin surface-mount outline with 0.012 g mass and standard lead pitch. Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pin 3 = Collector - verified per Toshiba marking diagram and SC-59 mechanical drawing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Emitter) | Current sink terminal | Connected to ground or negative rail in common-emitter amplifier; defines reference for hFE and VEB limits. |
| Pin 2 (Base) | Control input | Receives bias current to regulate collector current; requires ≤ −5 V reverse voltage to avoid damage. |
| Pin 3 (Collector) | Output current source | Drives load toward positive rail; withstands −120 V reverse bias during signal swing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock-enabling use in infotainment power stages. |
| hFE linearity | hFE(−0.1 mA)/hFE(−2 mA) = 0.95 (typ.): Reduces harmonic distortion in linear amplification across operating current range. |
| Low noise figure | NF = 1 dB (typ.) at 1 kHz: Critical for high-SNR front-end amplification where source impedance is 10 kΩ. |
| Complementary pairing | Matched with 2SC2713 (NPN): Allows balanced push-pull output stages without discrete matching networks. |
Applications
| Automotive Audio Preamp | Discrete Instrumentation Amplifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-noise voltage amplification of microphone or line-level signals in vehicle head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP small-signal amplifier in first gain stage of differential input path. Use Value: 1 dB NF and 100 MHz fT maintain SNR and bandwidth while rejecting engine noise coupling. | Use Scenario: High-input-impedance, low-drift front-end for sensor signal conditioning. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-stage emitter follower and gain-setting transistor in three-op-amp topology. Use Value: −120 V VCEO allows operation with ±48 V supplies; hFE linearity minimizes gain error vs. signal level. |
| High-Voltage Analog Switch Driver | Complementary Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Driving gate of high-side P-channel MOSFETs in programmable power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifted switch driver with fast turn-off via base pull-down. Use Value: −0.3 V VCE(sat) at −10 mA/−1 mA ensures minimal conduction loss; TO-236MOD enables dense layout. | Use Scenario: Push-pull output pair in Class-AB headphone amplifier. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Complementary PNP (2SA1163-BL,LF) and NPN (2SC2713) output transistors. Use Value: Matched hFE ranges and thermal coefficients reduce crossover distortion; SC-59 footprint eases symmetric routing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP small-signal amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SA1020,LF | VCEO = −100 V (lower), hFE = 200–600, NF = 2 dB (typ.), same TO-236MOD package | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suitable for industrial but not automotive-grade designs | Select when −100 V rating suffices and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| MMBT4403 | VCEO = −40 V, hFE = 100–300, NF = 4 dB (typ.), same SC-59 footprint | Limited to low-voltage consumer audio; lacks AEC-Q101 and high-voltage capability | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications below 20 V supply. |
Compared with 2SA1163-BL,LF, 2SA1020,LF trades −20 V breakdown margin and −1 dB noise for broader commercial availability, while MMBT4403 sacrifices voltage rating, gain, and noise performance for legacy design reuse-neither offers drop-in replacement capability.

FAQ
What is the AEC-Q101 qualification status of 2SA1163-BL,LF?
The 2SA1163-BL,LF is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101, as confirmed in Toshiba's official datasheet revision 2022-03-02. This qualification covers temperature cycling, humidity resistance, and mechanical shock testing required for automotive under-hood and cabin applications. The 2SA1163-BL,LF meets these requirements with no derating needed up to 125°C ambient, supporting use in infotainment and ADAS subsystems.
How does the BL suffix affect hFE specification for 2SA1163-BL,LF?
The BL suffix denotes the hFE classification band: 350–700 at VCE = −6 V and IC = −2 mA, per Toshiba's datasheet note. This is distinct from the GR (G) grade (200–400). The 2SA1163-BL,LF's tighter hFE spread improves predictability in bias network design and reduces unit-to-unit gain variation in production assemblies.
Is 2SA1163-BL,LF pin-compatible with 2SC2713?
No-2SA1163-BL,LF (PNP) and 2SC2713 (NPN) are complementary devices, not pin-compatible. Their pinouts differ: 2SA1163-BL,LF is E-B-C (Pin 1–2–3), while 2SC2713 is C-B-E. However, both share the TO-236MOD package outline and thermal pad layout, enabling symmetrical PCB placement in push-pull circuits when routed accordingly.
What is the maximum allowable collector power dissipation for 2SA1163-BL,LF?
The 2SA1163-BL,LF has PC = 200 mW when mounted on a specified FR4 board (25.4 mm × 25.4 mm × 1.6 mm, Cu pad: 0.8 mm² × 3), per Note 2 in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. At higher ambient temperatures, derating applies: full 200 mW is valid only up to 25°C; above that, linear derating begins at 1.6 mW/°C until Tj reaches 150°C.
Does 2SA1163-BL,LF support audio frequencies beyond 20 kHz?
Yes-the 2SA1163-BL,LF achieves fT = 100 MHz, providing ample gain-bandwidth margin for audio applications up to 20 kHz. With Cob = 4 pF and hFE > 350, it maintains stable voltage gain in common-emitter configurations well into ultrasonic ranges, making it suitable for Class-A preamps and active filters requiring flat response to 100 kHz.
