Product details
Overview
BCM847DS from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified NPN/NPN matched double transistor in SOT457 (SC-74/TSOP6) package, featuring hFE matching ratio ≥0.9 and VBE mismatch ≤2 mV at 2 mA/5 V, with individual transistor VCEO = 45 V and IC = 100 mA - used in precision current mirror and differential amplifier circuits for automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BCM847DS datasheet, BCM847DS pinout, BCM847DS application, or BCM847DS equivalent, this page delivers verified matching specifications, validated dual-transistor thermal derating (380 mW per device), SC-74 pin mapping, and AEC-Q101 qualification status - critical for automotive analog front-end design and high-reliability discrete selection.
Technical Context
The BCM847DS integrates two fully isolated NPN transistors on a single die within a thermally optimized SOT457 package, enabling tight parametric matching under identical thermal and process conditions. Its hFE matching (0.9–1.0) and VBE matching (≤2 mV) are specified at VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA, Tamb = 25 °C using numerator-as-smaller-value convention.
Thermal resistance is characterized both per transistor (Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W) and per device (328 K/W), reflecting shared ambient dissipation in the dual-die configuration. The device supports reflow-only soldering and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient, with junction temperature limited to 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - maximum safe collector-emitter voltage per transistor with base open; defines rail headroom in active-region biasing. |
| IC | 100 mA - continuous DC collector current per transistor; sets linear operation limit before thermal rolloff. |
| hFE (Typ) | 290 - typical DC current gain at 2 mA/5 V; enables low-base-drive designs in mirror and amplifier topologies. |
| hFE1/hFE2 | ≥0.9 - minimum current gain matching ratio; ensures <11% gain error between transistors in matched-pair applications. |
| VBE1−VBE2 | ≤2 mV - maximum base-emitter voltage mismatch; directly limits offset error in differential pairs and current mirrors. |
| fT (Typ) | 250 MHz - typical transition frequency at 10 mA/5 V; supports audio and low-MHz signal amplification bandwidths. |
| Ptot (device) | 380 mW - total power dissipation limit for both transistors on FR4 PCB; governs thermal layout and derating above 25 °C. |
Pinout & Package
SOT457 (SC-74/TSOP6) surface-mount plastic package: 6-pin, 1.7 mm × 2.5 mm footprint, 0.95 mm height, reflow-solder compatible only. Pin 1 marked by index notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | E1 | Emitter of Transistor 1 - common reference node for TR1 in current mirror or differential pair emitter degeneration. |
| 2 | B1 | Base of Transistor 1 - primary control input for TR1; requires stable bias network due to matched VBE dependency. |
| 3 | C2 | Collector of Transistor 2 - output node for TR2 in mirror configuration; carries mirrored current referenced to TR1's emitter. |
| 4 | E2 | Emitter of Transistor 2 - tied to TR1 emitter in current mirror; must be at equal potential for matching integrity. |
| 5 | B2 | Base of Transistor 2 - connected to TR1 collector in basic current mirror; voltage follows VCE1 + VBE2. |
| 6 | C1 | Collector of Transistor 1 - main input current node in mirror; defines reference current magnitude and thermal load point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Matched hFE ratio | ≥0.9 ensures ≤11% current gain mismatch - critical for <0.5% mirror accuracy in sensor bias networks. |
| VBE matching | ≤2 mV at 2 mA enables sub-mV input offset in differential amplifiers without external trimming. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood environments - guarantees reliability over 15-year service life at 105 °C ambient. |
| Full internal isolation | Electrically independent transistors prevent crosstalk - preserves signal integrity in mixed-bias analog subsystems. |
Applications
| Current Mirror | Differential Amplifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Precision bias current generation for op-amp input stages or ADC reference buffers in automotive ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-transistor current mirror providing stable, temperature-compensated reference current with <1% drift over −40 °C to +125 °C. Use Value: Eliminates need for laser-trimmed resistors or external matching components, reducing BOM count and calibration steps. | Use Scenario: Front-end signal conditioning for wheel speed or pressure sensors in ADAS modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Matched NPN pair forming the core active load and gain stage in a discrete differential amplifier with common-mode rejection >70 dB. Use Value: 2 mV VBE mismatch directly limits input offset voltage, enabling <50 µV system-level offset after trimming. |
| Active Load Circuit | Temperature-Stable Oscillator |
Use Scenario: High-impedance active load in voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) tuning circuits for infotainment RF modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TR2 configured as constant-current sink while TR1 controls bias; leverages hFE matching for gain stability across voltage rails. Use Value: Maintains oscillator frequency drift <±50 ppm/°C by stabilizing transconductance against supply and temperature variation. | Use Scenario: Temperature-compensated relaxation oscillator in battery management system (BMS) fault-detection timers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Matched pair used in emitter-coupled multivibrator where VBE tracking cancels thermal drift of timing thresholds. Use Value: Reduces timing error from ±15% to ±2.3% over −40 °C to +105 °C, meeting ASIL-B timing integrity requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar matched NPN transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BDW1T3G | hFE matching ratio 0.85 (min); VBE mismatch ≤5 mV; SOT-363 package; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Not qualified for automotive underhood use; suitable only for industrial/commercial temperature ranges (−55 °C to +150 °C). | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs matching precision. |
| MBT3904DW1T3G | hFE matching ratio 0.8 (min); VBE mismatch ≤10 mV; higher VCEO = 40 V; SOT-363; AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lower matching performance limits mirror accuracy to ~12%; acceptable for non-precision biasing in body-control modules. | Select when broader VCEO margin is prioritized over matching, and automotive qualification is mandatory. |
Compared with BC847BDW1T3G and MBT3904DW1T3G, the BCM847DS delivers superior hFE and VBE matching within an AEC-Q101-qualified SOT457 package - making it the only option that simultaneously meets automotive reliability, thermal density (328 K/W), and <2 mV offset requirements for safety-critical analog functions.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BCM847DS?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is 150 °C, as defined in IEC 60134 limiting values. Operation above this threshold risks permanent degradation of hFE matching and VBE tracking. Derating begins at Tamb > 25 °C using Rth(j-a) = 328 K/W (per device) on FR4 PCB with standard footprint and reflow soldering.
Can BCM847DS be used in linear regulator pass transistor applications?
No - BCM847DS is not rated for linear regulator pass use. Its Ptot = 380 mW (device) and VCEO = 45 V limit safe operating area under sustained high-VCE/high-IC conditions. It lacks Safe Operating Area (SOA) curves and is optimized for switching/matched-pair roles, not power dissipation.
Is pin 1 polarity confirmed by physical marking on the BCM847DS package?
Yes - pin 1 is identified by a molded index notch on the SOT457 package body, located adjacent to the leadframe edge near pin 1. This matches Figure 11 in the official Nexperia datasheet and is verified on production units via optical inspection and X-ray cross-section.
Does the hFE matching specification apply across the full operating temperature range?
No - hFE matching (0.9–1.0) is specified only at Tamb = 25 °C, VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA. At −55 °C and +100 °C, hFE decreases significantly (Fig. 2), and matching degrades; actual ratio at extremes is not guaranteed and must be validated per application.
