Product details
Overview
BC847BTQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101-qualified 45V NPN small-signal transistor in SOT523 package, rated for 100mA collector current, 150mW power dissipation, and 100MHz fT, used in automotive sensor signal conditioning and low-power switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BTQ-7 datasheet, BC847BTQ-7 pinout, BC847BTQ-7 application, or BC847BTQ-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCEO = 45V, hFE = 200–450 at IC = 2mA, VCE(SAT) ≤ 250mV at IC = 10mA/IB = 0.5mA, and automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This NPN BJT employs epitaxial planar die construction for stable gain and low leakage. It operates with VEBO = 6.0V, ICBO ≤ 15nA at 30V, and supports junction temperatures from –55°C to +150°C.
The device delivers fT = 100MHz at VCE = 5V and IC = 10mA, with noise figure NF ≤ 1.0dB at 1MHz, making it suitable for low-noise amplification and high-speed switching in constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition |
| IC | 100mA - Continuous DC collector current rating defining maximum load drive capability |
| hFE | 200–450 - DC current gain range at VCE = 5V, IC = 2mA, critical for bias stability in amplifier stages |
| VCE(SAT) | ≤250mV - Saturation voltage at IC = 10mA/IB = 0.5mA, directly impacts conduction loss in switch mode |
| fT | 100MHz - Transition frequency indicating usable bandwidth for RF or fast digital switching |
| RθJA | 833°C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 1oz FR-4, limiting power handling in still air |
| ESD HBM | 4000V - Human Body Model robustness enabling handling without special ESD controls in assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT523 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic package (1.60 × 1.60 × 0.75 mm), lead-free, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Emitter terminal | Current sink node; connects to ground or low-side reference in common-emitter configurations |
| 2 (Base) | Control input | Receives bias current to regulate collector current; requires series resistor for stable turn-on/turn-off |
| 3 (Collector) | Output current path | Drives load toward supply rail; layout must minimize trace inductance for high-frequency operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per stress test requirements |
| Ultra-small SOT523 footprint | 1.6mm × 1.6mm body enables high-density routing in space-constrained modules like body control units |
| hFE binning (200–450) | Narrow gain spread reduces need for individual circuit trimming in production assemblies |
| Low VCE(SAT) at 10mA | Enables efficient low-voltage switching in 3.3V/5V logic-level interfaces without external drivers |
| JEDEC Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Zero bake requirement prior to reflow, simplifying SMT line integration and reducing process cost |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module | Engine Control Unit Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving LED status indicators and small solenoids in door latch and window control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN switch controlling 20–50mA loads from microcontroller GPIO pins. Use Value: Low VCE(SAT) minimizes heat rise in sealed enclosures; AEC-Q101 ensures 15-year field reliability. | Use Scenario: Amplifying low-level analog signals from crankshaft position and knock sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Small-signal amplifier stage providing gain before ADC sampling. Use Value: 1.0dB NF and stable hFE across –40°C to +125°C ensure consistent SNR in engine bay environments. |
| Infotainment System Power Sequencing | ADAS Camera Bias Supply |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling auxiliary rails (e.g., USB PHY, audio codec) during system boot-up and sleep transitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side enable switch controlled by PMIC sequencer outputs. Use Value: Fast turn-on/off (enabled by high fT) supports precise timing margins in multi-rail power sequencing. | Use Scenario: Providing stable bias current to CMOS image sensor analog front-end blocks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current source configured via emitter degeneration resistor. Use Value: Tight hFE tolerance and low ICBO (<15nA) maintain bias accuracy over temperature and lifetime. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN small-signal transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847B,315 (Nexperia) | Same SOT23 package; hFE = 200–450 but not AEC-Q101 qualified; RθJA = 300°C/W | Limited to industrial/commercial use; unsuitable for under-hood automotive deployment | Select only if AEC-Q101 compliance is not required and thermal margin allows larger package |
| MMBT3904LT1G (onsemi) | SOT23-3; VCEO = 40V; hFE = 100–300; AEC-Q101 qualified; higher RθJA = 405°C/W | Lower voltage rating restricts use in 42V systems; wider hFE spread increases calibration effort | Prefer when board real estate permits SOT23 and 40V rating suffices for target subsystem |
Compared with BC847BTQ-7, BC847B,315 lacks automotive qualification and thermal performance, while MMBT3904LT1G trades voltage headroom and gain consistency for broader industry adoption-making BC847BTQ-7 optimal for compact, high-reliability 45V automotive signal paths.

FAQ
Is BC847BTQ-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes. BC847BTQ-7 uses matte tin-plated leads and is fully RoHS-compliant with JEDEC Level 1 moisture sensitivity, supporting standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C) without pre-bake. Its SOT523 package is qualified per J-STD-020.
What is the maximum operating temperature for continuous use?
The BC847BTQ-7 has a specified junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. For continuous operation at full 100mA collector current, derating is required above +25°C ambient due to its 833°C/W RθJA; maximum ambient temperature at full load is approximately +85°C on standard PCB layout.
Does BC847BTQ-7 support high-frequency switching above 10MHz?
Yes. With fT = 100MHz at VCE = 5V and IC = 10mA, BC847BTQ-7 supports clean switching up to ~10–20MHz in optimized layouts. Its 4.5pF COBO and low VCE(SAT) make it suitable for clock buffering and PWM-driven loads in automotive microcontrollers.
How does the SOT523 package affect thermal performance versus SOT23?
The SOT523 package has significantly higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 833°C/W) than SOT23 (typically ~300°C/W), limiting power dissipation to ~150mW. This necessitates careful thermal pad design and lower average current in sustained operation-but enables 40% smaller board area for space-critical modules.
