Product details
Overview
2SA2070(TE12L,F) from TOSHIBA is a silicon PNP epitaxial transistor designed for high-speed switching in DC-DC converters and power management circuits, featuring hFE = 200–500 at IC = −0.1 A, VCE(sat) ≤ −0.20 V (IC = −0.3 A, IB = −0.01 A), and tf = 70 ns (typ.), with −50 V VCEO rating and SC-62 package.
For engineers reviewing the 2SA2070(TE12L,F) datasheet, 2SA2070(TE12L,F) pinout, 2SA2070(TE12L,F) application, or 2SA2070(TE12L,F) equivalent, key selection criteria include saturation voltage performance under pulsed base drive, thermal derating on FR4 boards, safe operating area limits at 100 µs–10 s pulse widths, and RoHS-compliant marking interpretation per Toshiba's Lot No. line convention.
Technical Context
The 2SA2070(TE12L,F) operates as a medium-power PNP bipolar junction transistor optimized for fast turn-off (tf = 70 ns typ.) and low-loss saturation in hard-switched topologies. Its VCE(sat) ≤ −0.20 V at IC/IB = 30 enables efficient current sinking in synchronous rectifier drivers and PWM control stages.
Thermal behavior is defined for mounting on FR4 (1.6 mm, 645 mm² Cu), with transient thermal resistance rth(j-a) varying by pulse width - e.g., ~200°C/W at 100 µs, dropping to ~50°C/W at 10 ms - requiring explicit derating above 25°C ambient per Toshiba's Reliability Handbook guidelines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V: Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration. |
| hFE (IC = −0.1 A) | 200–500: Ensures stable base drive sizing for reliable saturation across production lots. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −0.20 V (IC = −0.3 A, IB = −0.01 A): Minimizes conduction loss in high-duty-cycle switching nodes. |
| tf | 70 ns (typ.): Enables >1 MHz switching in non-resonant DC-DC controllers without excessive switching loss. |
| Cob | 8 pF (VCB = −10 V): Limits Miller capacitance impact on gate driver loading in complementary BJT stages. |
| PC (t = 10 s) | 2.0 W (FR4, 645 mm² Cu): Defines maximum continuous dissipation with standard PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC-62 (JEITA), also designated 2-5K1A by Toshiba; surface-mount, 3-pin, gull-wing leadform; weight ≈ 0.05 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter (E) | Current source terminal | Connected to higher potential rail; carries full load current in high-side switch configurations. |
| Base (B) | Control input | Receives negative current to forward-bias BE junction; requires ≥−0.01 A for guaranteed saturation at IC = −0.3 A. |
| Collector (C) | Current sink terminal | Connected to load/switching node; withstands −50 V reverse bias during off-state in buck or flyback outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High DC current gain | hFE = 200–500 at IC = −0.1 A ensures robust base drive margin and reduced base current consumption. |
| Low saturation voltage | VCE(sat) ≤ −0.20 V minimizes power loss and self-heating in high-current switching paths. |
| Fast fall time | tf = 70 ns (typ.) supports clean turn-off in high-frequency PWM applications up to 2 MHz. |
| Controlled Cob | 8 pF output capacitance reduces unintended turn-on risk in high-dv/dt environments. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Stage | High-Side Load Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as the PNP switch in non-synchronous buck converter output stage, sinking inductor current during low-side freewheeling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as controlled current sink with fast turn-off to minimize dead-time losses and prevent shoot-through. Use Value: VCE(sat) ≤ −0.20 V directly reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. comparable transistors with VCE(sat) > −0.3 V at same IC. | Use Scenario: Implements 12 V rail enable/disable in industrial PLC I/O modules using open-collector logic interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as level-shifted high-side switch driven by microcontroller GPIO through base resistor network. Use Value: hFE ≥ 200 allows use of high-value base resistors (>10 kΩ), reducing MCU I/O loading and PCB space. |
| LED Driver Current Sink | Relay Drive Interface |
Use Scenario: Sinks constant current for high-brightness LED strings in automotive interior lighting with PWM dimming. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides linear or switched current regulation with minimal thermal drift due to stable hFE over temperature. Use Value: tf = 70 ns ensures clean PWM edges at 1–5 kHz, eliminating visible flicker and audible coil whine. | Use Scenario: Drives 24 V DC relay coils in HVAC control panels where microcontroller outputs lack sufficient sink capability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as interface buffer between low-voltage logic and inductive load, with built-in flyback protection design considerations. Use Value: VCEO = −50 V provides 100% margin over 24 V system rails, preventing avalanche failure during relay coil flyback events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SA1774(TE12L,F) | VCEO = −30 V, hFE = 120–270, tf = 100 ns (typ.) | Limited to ≤24 V systems; lower gain requires higher base drive current. | Preferred only when lower voltage rating and cost sensitivity outweigh speed and gain requirements. |
| MMBT2907ALT1G | VCEO = −60 V, hFE = 100–300, VCE(sat) = −0.25 V (max), SOT-23 package | Smaller footprint but lower power dissipation (0.35 W); unsuitable for >300 mA continuous loads. | Select when board space is critical and thermal budget permits derated operation. |
Compared with 2SA2070(TE12L,F), the 2SA1774 offers lower cost but sacrifices 40% faster switching and 1.7× higher minimum hFE; MMBT2907ALT1G provides higher voltage margin and RoHS compliance but cannot replicate the 2.0 W FR4-mounted dissipation or 70 ns fall time in compact layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for 2SA2070(TE12L,F) at 25°C ambient?
The 2SA2070(TE12L,F) supports IC = −1.0 A DC when mounted on an FR4 board (1.6 mm thick, 645 mm² Cu area). This rating assumes no additional heatsinking and follows Toshiba's specified test condition in Note 1 of the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this current without thermal derating risks junction temperature exceeding 150°C.
Does 2SA2070(TE12L,F) meet RoHS requirements?
Yes - 2SA2070(TE12L,F) is RoHS compliant. Per Toshiba's marking convention, units with a line beside the Lot No. are labeled [[G]]/RoHS COMPATIBLE. The device contains no lead above EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU thresholds and is suitable for environmentally regulated markets.
How is the safe operating area (SOA) of 2SA2070(TE12L,F) defined for pulsed operation?
The SOA curve for 2SA2070(TE12L,F) is specified for single nonrepetitive pulses on FR4 (645 mm² Cu), with distinct limits for 10 µs to 10 s durations. At 100 µs, IC max ≈ −10 A at VCE = −10 V; at 10 ms, it drops to ≈ −2 A. Continuous DC operation is limited to −1.0 A at VCE ≤ −2 V per the derated PC curve.
Can 2SA2070(TE12L,F) be used in linear amplifier applications?
No - 2SA2070(TE12L,F) is characterized and qualified exclusively for switching operation. Its hFE variation across IC, nonlinear VBE(sat), and lack of small-signal parameters (e.g., fT, noise figure) make it unsuitable for analog amplification. Toshiba specifies it only for high-speed switching and DC-DC converter applications.
What is the meaning of "TE12L,F" in the full part number 2SA2070(TE12L,F)?
"TE12L,F" denotes Toshiba's tape-and-reel packaging variant: TE = embossed carrier tape, 12 = 12 mm tape width, L = standard reel size (3,000 pcs/reel), and F = RoHS-compliant finish. This suffix confirms factory-packaged, automated-placement-ready form with traceable lot marking per JEITA standards.
