Product details
Overview
BC847BPN from Nexperia is a dual NPN/PNP general-purpose transistor pair in a single SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and featuring matched hFE (200–450), low VCE(sat) (≤300 mV), and isolated operation-used in compact bias networks, complementary switching stages, and level-shifting circuits in consumer power management.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BPN datasheet, BC847BPN pinout, BC847BPN application, or BC847BPN equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, thermal derating curves, per-transistor limiting values, and real-world use cases for dual-transistor discrete selection in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device integrates two electrically isolated transistors-TR1 (NPN) and TR2 (PNP)-in one ultra-small surface-mount package. Each transistor supports independent biasing with identical absolute maximum ratings: 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and 250 mW Ptot (standard footprint).
Key electrical behaviors include closely matched DC current gain (hFE = 200–450 at VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA), low collector capacitance (Cc ≤ 2.2 pF), and temperature-stable VBE (655 mV typ. for both polarities at 25 °C), enabling predictable complementary amplification and switching without cross-talk.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines usable supply rail headroom in switching applications. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous collector current limit; sets maximum load drive capability per transistor. |
| hFE | 200–450 - DC current gain range at 2 mA collector current; enables precise base resistor sizing for predictable saturation or linear operation. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤300 mV at IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss in high-efficiency switch-mode stages. |
| Cc | ≤2.2 pF - Collector capacitance limits high-frequency response; suitable for <100 MHz small-signal amplification and digital switching up to ~10 MHz. |
| Ptot | 250 mW (standard FR4) - Total power dissipation limit determines thermal margin in ambient temperatures up to 75 °C without heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) plastic surface-mounted package: 1.3 mm × 2.2 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 0.95 mm max height; designed for reflow soldering with defined solder paste stencil openings (0.5 mm × 0.5 mm pads).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Low-impedance current sink node for NPN side; connects to ground or low-side load return path. |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Control input for NPN transistor; requires current-limited drive to achieve target IC via hFE. |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | High-side current source node for PNP side; connects to positive supply or load anode. |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | Current source output for PNP transistor; ties to VCC or high-side load connection point. |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Inverted control input for PNP; pulled low to enable conduction; requires current sourcing or open-drain interface. |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Low-side switched output; drives loads connected between this pin and VCC or pulls down to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No mutual interference | Electrically isolated NPN and PNP die prevent crosstalk-enables independent timing, biasing, and signal routing in dual-rail circuits. |
| Closely matched hFE | Both transistors exhibit 200–450 gain at identical test conditions-simplifies complementary stage design without individual trimming. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤300 mV ensures <3% voltage drop across transistor at full 100 mA load-critical for battery-powered logic-level switching. |
| Reduced board space | Single SOT363-3 replaces two discrete SOT23 devices-saves ≥40% PCB area and eliminates two placement steps in automated assembly. |
Applications
| Complementary Switching Stage | Level-Shifting Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving a resistive load between 3.3 V and 0 V using push-pull topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TR1 (NPN) sinks current during logic-high output; TR2 (PNP) sources current during logic-low output-providing bidirectional drive without external pull-ups. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate NPN+PNP discrete pair; achieves <100 ns transition time with matched turn-on/turn-off characteristics. |
Use Scenario: Converting 1.8 V GPIO signals to 5 V logic levels for legacy peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TR1 acts as low-side level translator; TR2 provides active pull-up to 5 V-enabling bidirectional voltage translation with no external resistors. Use Value: Reduces BOM count by 2 resistors and 1 capacitor per channel; maintains signal integrity up to 5 MHz. |
| Compact Bias Network | LED Current Control |
|
Use Scenario: Generating stable reference currents for op-amp biasing in portable audio amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TR1 and TR2 form a Wilson current mirror configuration-using matched hFE to minimize error in mirrored current ratio. Use Value: Achieves <±3% current matching over −40 °C to +85 °C-reducing calibration overhead in production test. |
Use Scenario: Constant-current driving of indicator LEDs in smart home controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TR1 operates in common-emitter mode with emitter resistor; TR2 provides temperature-compensated base bias-stabilizing LED current against ambient drift. Use Value: Maintains LED brightness within ±5% across 0–70 °C ambient-eliminating need for thermistor compensation circuitry. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-transistor complementary switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BPDXV6T1G | Same SOT363-3 package, identical VCEO/IC, but hFE binning tighter (250–400); lower Cc (1.2 pF max). | Better high-frequency linearity; preferred for >10 MHz analog switching where gain consistency matters more than cost. | Select when tighter hFE tolerance and reduced capacitance justify minor cost premium. |
| MBT3904DW1T1G | SO-8 package (larger), same NPN/PNP pairing, but VCEO = 40 V and hFE = 100–300-lower voltage rating and wider gain spread. | Higher thermal mass allows 350 mW Ptot; suited for higher-power 25–50 mA LED drivers where board space is less constrained. | Choose when thermal performance outweighs miniaturization needs and 40 V rating suffices. |
Compared with BC847BPN, BC847BPDXV6T1G offers improved RF linearity and tighter gain control at equal size, while MBT3904DW1T1G trades miniaturization for higher power handling and relaxed voltage margins-making BC847BPN optimal for space-critical 45 V, 100 mA dual-switching roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for BC847BPN?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is 150 °C, as defined in IEC 60134 limiting values. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient: total power dissipation drops linearly to zero at 150 °C junction, with 250 mW allowed only at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB.
Can BC847BPN be used in linear amplifier configurations?
Yes-both transistors support linear operation with VCE = 5 V and IC = 2 mA, delivering hFE = 200–450 and fT = 100 MHz (NPN) or 80 MHz (PNP). However, thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 568 K/W) limits sustained analog gain stages to <50 mW per transistor without heatsinking.
How does the pinout support complementary push-pull operation?
Pins 1–2–6 serve TR1 (NPN): E1–B1–C1; pins 3–4–5 serve TR2 (PNP): C2–E2–B2. This layout allows direct connection of C1 and C2 to opposite rails (e.g., C1 to GND, C2 to VCC), while E1 and E2 connect to the load node-enabling true push-pull with minimal trace length and no external inversion.
Is BC847BPN automotive qualified?
No-this part is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" and prohibits use in safety-critical or life-support systems. It is intended for commercial and industrial applications with ambient operating ranges of −65 °C to +150 °C, but without automotive stress testing or traceability requirements.
