Product details
Overview
BCM857BS from Nexperia is a PNP/PNP matched double transistor in SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package, designed for precision analog functions requiring tight parameter matching between two fully isolated transistors. It delivers hFE matching ratio ≥0.9, VBE mismatch ≤2 mV at −5 V VCE, −2 mA IC, 25 °C, and supports −45 V VCEO, −100 mA IC per transistor - enabling high-accuracy current mirroring in automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BCM857BS datasheet, BCM857BS pinout, BCM857BS application, or BCM857BS equivalent, this device is selected for differential amplifier front-ends, precision bias generation, and AEC-Q101-compliant current mirror topologies where transistor pair matching directly impacts gain stability and offset error.
Technical Context
This dual PNP transistor integrates two electrically isolated silicon epitaxial planar devices on a single die with tightly controlled process variation to ensure consistent DC current gain and base-emitter voltage across temperature. Matching is specified at −2 mA collector current and −5 V collector-emitter voltage, with hFE1/hFE2 ≥ 0.9 and |VBE1 − VBE2| ≤ 2 mV.
The device operates within −65 °C to +150 °C ambient range, supports 200 mW total power dissipation (per device), and exhibits fT = 100–175 MHz at −10 mA IC, making it suitable for low-noise, medium-frequency analog signal paths in automotive ECUs and industrial instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V per transistor: enables safe operation in 36 V automotive supply rails with margin against transients. |
| IC | −100 mA per transistor: supports moderate-current biasing and active load applications without thermal runaway. |
| hFE (Typ) | 290 at −5 V VCE, −2 mA IC: ensures predictable DC gain in feedback loops and mirror configurations. |
| hFE1/hFE2 | ≥0.9: guarantees ≤10% current gain mismatch between transistors, critical for common-mode rejection in diff-amps. |
| VBE1−VBE2 | ≤2 mV: limits input offset voltage drift in precision current mirrors and emitter-coupled pairs. |
| fT | 100–175 MHz: supports stable operation up to ~10 MHz small-signal amplification with minimal phase shift. |
| Rth(j-a) | 416 K/W per device: defines thermal derating curve when mounted on FR4 PCB with standard footprint. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) plastic surface-mounted package, 1.35 mm × 2.2 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.1 mm max height, transparent top view with pin 1 index marker.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter TR1 | Primary emitter terminal of first transistor; connects to current sink node in mirror or diff-amp tail. |
| 2 | Base TR1 | Control input for TR1; referenced to E1 for VBE-based biasing and matching validation. |
| 3 | Collector TR2 | Output node of second transistor; used as active load or mirrored output in current mirror topology. |
| 4 | Emitter TR2 | Emitter of second transistor; tied to common reference (e.g., ground or negative rail) in differential pair. |
| 5 | Base TR2 | Input control for TR2; matched to B1 to preserve symmetry in differential or mirror circuits. |
| 6 | Collector TR1 | Output node of first transistor; serves as input reference or bias current source in mirror configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current gain matching | hFE1/hFE2 ≥ 0.9 ensures ≤10% gain deviation between transistors, reducing common-mode error in precision analog blocks. |
| Base-emitter voltage matching | |VBE1 − VBE2| ≤ 2 mV minimizes input offset in differential amplifiers and improves mirror accuracy over temperature. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Qualified for automotive under stress test standard Q101, supporting use in engine control, ADAS sensors, and body electronics. |
| Thermal performance | 416 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance enables stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature on standard FR4 PCBs. |
Applications
| Current Mirror | Differential Amplifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Precision current replication in sensor front-end biasing for automotive pressure or temperature transducers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual PNP pair acts as matched active load and reference leg to maintain constant current ratio independent of supply variation. Use Value: ≤2 mV VBE mismatch ensures <10 µA current error at 1 mA reference, improving ADC linearity in closed-loop systems. |
Use Scenario: Input stage of automotive cabin air quality monitor amplifier processing low-level NDIR sensor signals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Matched PNP pair forms emitter-coupled differential pair with shared emitter resistor for high CMRR. Use Value: hFE matching ≥0.9 sustains >60 dB common-mode rejection at 1 kHz, suppressing power rail noise coupling. |
| Automotive Sensor Bias | Industrial Current Reference |
Use Scenario: Stable bias generation for Hall-effect wheel speed sensors operating across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual transistor provides temperature-compensated current source via VBE tracking between matched units. Use Value: Matched VBE drift (≈−2 mV/K) cancels thermal coefficient, holding reference current within ±1.5% over full range. |
Use Scenario: Fixed current source in programmable logic controller (PLC) analog output module for 4–20 mA loop calibration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One transistor sets reference current; second provides matched mirror output for feedback and scaling. Use Value: 0.9 hFE ratio enables <0.5% full-scale error in 12-bit DAC-driven current loops without trimming. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar matched PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BS | PNP/NPN complementary pair, not matched; hFE tolerance ±30%, no VBE matching spec. | Not suitable for current mirror or diff-amp requiring matched parameters; usable only for discrete switching. | Select only if circuit does not require transistor pairing - e.g., dual independent switches with no gain/offset correlation. |
| MBT3906DW1T1G | PNP/PNP dual but unqualified to AEC-Q101; hFE matching not specified; VBE mismatch >5 mV typical. | Limited to industrial/commercial grade designs; lacks automotive reliability validation and matching assurance. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-automotive instrumentation where ±5 mV VBE error is tolerable. |
Compared with BC847BS and MBT3906DW1T1G, BCM857BS uniquely delivers AEC-Q101 qualification plus guaranteed hFE and VBE matching - essential for automotive current mirrors and differential amplifiers where parameter correlation directly determines system accuracy and safety compliance.

FAQ
Is BCM857BS pin-compatible with BC847BS?
No. BCM857BS uses SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) with 6 pins arranged as E1-B1-C2-E2-B2-C1, while BC847BS is in SOT363 (non-3 variant) with different internal connectivity and pin mapping. Physical fit does not guarantee functional compatibility due to differing transistor types and matching architecture.
What is the maximum continuous collector current per transistor?
The absolute maximum continuous collector current per transistor is −100 mA at Tamb ≤ 25 °C, derated linearly above that temperature per the Rth(j-a) = 625 K/W specification. At 85 °C ambient, maximum IC drops to approximately −65 mA to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C.
Does BCM857BS support reflow soldering?
Yes. BCM857BS is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C. The recommended footprint matches Figure 14 in the datasheet: 0.5 mm pad width, 0.6 mm length, 2.35 mm × 2.65 mm overall land pattern with solder mask defined pads.
How is hFE matching measured and guaranteed?
hFE matching is measured per transistor at VCE = −5 V, IC = −2 mA, Tamb = 25 °C; the ratio hFE1/hFE2 is calculated using the smaller value as numerator. This is tested and binned during final test, with minimum ratio guaranteed at 0.9 across all production lots.
