Product details

Overview

BCM856BSH-QX from Nexperia is a PNP/PNP matched double transistor in SOT363 (SC-88) package, rated for −65 V V_CEO, −100 mA I_C, and 200–450 h_FE per transistor, with <±2 mV V_BE1−V_BE2 matching and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.

For engineers reviewing the BCM856BSH-QX datasheet, BCM856BSH-QX pinout, BCM856BSH-QX application, or BCM856BSH-QX equivalent, this device is selected for precision analog functions requiring tight transistor pairing, high-temperature operation up to 175 °C, and low mutual interference in compact SMT layouts.

Technical Context

This matched dual PNP transistor integrates two electrically isolated transistors on a single die with guaranteed h_FE ratio of 0.95–1.05 and base-emitter voltage matching ≤2 mV at −2 mA collector current. It operates with no cross-coupling between channels, enabling stable differential pair and current mirror operation.

Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C and meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling. Its low C_c (1.8 pF typ.) and f_T (100 MHz min.) support moderate-frequency analog signal conditioning.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	−65 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter blocking voltage per transistor under open-base condition
I_C	−100 mA - Continuous DC collector current rating per transistor at T_amb ≤ 25 °C
h_FE	200–450 - DC current gain per transistor at V_CE = −5 V, I_C = −2 mA, 25 °C
V_BE1−V_BE2	≤2 mV - Maximum absolute difference in base-emitter voltage between matched transistors
P_tot (per device)	400 mW - Total power dissipation limit for both transistors on FR4 PCB at 25 °C ambient
R_th(j-a) (per device)	375 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient, defining derating slope for thermal design
AEC-Q101	Qualified - Meets automotive discrete semiconductor stress test requirements for production use

Pinout & Package

SOT363 (SC-88/TSSOP6) plastic surface-mount package, 2.1 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 6-pin layout with exposed pad not present.

Pin	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	E1	Emitter of transistor TR1 - primary current sink terminal for first PNP
2	B1	Base of transistor TR1 - control input for first PNP with matched V_BE tracking
3	C2	Collector of transistor TR2 - output node for second PNP, electrically isolated from TR1
4	E2	Emitter of transistor TR2 - independent current sink terminal for second PNP
5	B2	Base of transistor TR2 - control input for second PNP, matched to B1 for differential biasing
6	C1	Collector of transistor TR1 - output node for first PNP, no shared path with C2

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Current gain matching	h_FE1/h_FE2 = 0.95–1.05 - Enables precise current mirroring with <5% error across process and temperature
Base-emitter voltage matching	V_BE1−V_BE2 ≤ 2 mV - Supports sub-mV offset in differential amplifiers and active loads
Low collector capacitance	C_c = 1.8 pF typ. - Reduces high-frequency phase shift in feedback networks and improves bandwidth stability
High-temperature operation	T_j up to 175 °C - Allows placement near power stages or in engine bay without derating penalties
No mutual interference	Electrically isolated collectors/emitters - Prevents crosstalk in dual-path analog circuits like instrumentation amps

Applications

Current Mirror

Differential Amplifier

Use Scenario: Precision current replication in sensor biasing, DAC output stages, and LED drivers where matched I_OUT/I_IN ratio is critical.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual PNP pair configured as emitter-coupled current mirror with common base drive and matched V_BE.

Use Value: Achieves <0.5% current mismatch over −40 °C to +125 °C due to monolithic matching and low V_BE drift.

Use Scenario: Input stage of automotive-grade operational amplifier or comparator requiring rail-to-rail input common-mode range and low input offset.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Matched PNP pair forming the differential input transistor pair with shared emitter resistor or current source.

Use Value: Delivers <1 mV input offset voltage at room temperature and maintains <3 mV over full automotive temperature range.

Active Load

Temperature-Stable Bias Network

Use Scenario: High-impedance active load in discrete op-amp output stages or RF amplifier cascodes where dynamic impedance must exceed 1 MΩ.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One transistor acts as constant-current sink while the other provides matched reference current for bias stability.

Use Value: Maintains >500 kΩ small-signal output impedance up to 100 kHz due to low C_c and high Early voltage behavior.

Use Scenario: Bias generation for Class AB audio amplifiers or motor driver pre-drivers requiring stable quiescent current across wide ambient conditions.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Complementary PNP pair used in V_BE-multiplier or Widlar current source configuration with matched thermal coefficients.

Use Value: Limits bias current drift to <±5% from −40 °C to +175 °C using intrinsic V_BE tracking and identical thermal coupling.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar matched PNP transistor applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
BCM846BSH-Q	NPN/NPN complement - same package, matching specs, but opposite polarity	Required where NPN-based current mirrors or differential pairs dominate circuit topology	Select when designing complementary symmetry stages or NPN-input front ends
BC847BDW1T1G	Unmatched dual NPN - no h_FE or V_BE matching guarantee; lower V_CEO (45 V); not AEC-Q101 qualified	Suitable only for non-critical bias or switching; cannot replace in precision analog roles	Use only for cost-sensitive consumer applications without matching or automotive requirements

Compared with BCM856BSH-QX, BCM846BSH-Q enables complementary circuit topologies while maintaining identical matching performance and automotive qualification; BC847BDW1T1G lacks matching guarantees and automotive validation, limiting it to non-safety-critical designs.

FAQ

Is BCM856BSH-QX pin-compatible with standard SOT363 dual transistors?

Yes - BCM856BSH-QX uses the industry-standard TSSOP6 (SOT363) footprint with 0.65 mm pitch and identical 6-pin assignment (E1-B1-C2-E2-B2-C1). No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from generic dual PNP devices, though electrical matching performance is unique to this part.

What is the maximum continuous collector current per transistor at 125 °C ambient?

At T_amb = 125 °C, the maximum continuous I_C per transistor is approximately −45 mA, derived from the per-device P_tot derating curve (400 mW at 25 °C, zero at ~155 °C), assuming R_th(j-a) = 375 K/W and V_CEsat ≈ −200 mV at I_C = −100 mA.

Does BCM856BSH-QX support wave soldering?

Yes - Nexperia provides dedicated wave soldering footprint data (Fig. 13) for SOT363, specifying 1.3 mm solder land width, 5.3 mm overall length, and preferred transport direction. Thermal profile must respect peak temperature ≤260 °C and dwell time ≤10 s to avoid package damage.

How is V_BE1−V_BE2 matching verified during production?

V_BE1−V_BE2 is measured at V_CE = −5 V, I_C = −2 mA, and T_amb = 25 °C on 100% of units using automated test equipment. Matching is enforced by binning based on absolute difference, with only units ≤2 mV accepted into the BCM856BSH-QX grade.
