Product details
Overview
BCM857BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a matched dual PNP bipolar junction transistor pair in SOT363 package, rated for −45 V VCEO, −100 mA IC, and featuring 2 mV VBE matching and 10% hFE matching across the pair. It operates from −65 °C to +150 °C and delivers 100 MHz fT, suited for precision current mirror and differential amplifier circuits in automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BCM857BS-7-F datasheet, BCM857BS-7-F pinout, BCM857BS-7-F application, or BCM857BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include matched VBE tolerance, hFE tracking under bias, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 readiness for automotive-grade analog front-ends.
Technical Context
This device integrates two adjacent-die PNP transistors on a single silicon substrate to ensure intrinsic matching-critical for high-accuracy analog functions where offset voltage and gain drift must be minimized. Its matched VBE (≤2 mV) and hFE ratio (0.9–1.0) are measured at VCE = −5 V, IC = −2 mA, enabling stable operation in current-source and active-load configurations.
The SOT363 package provides fully isolated terminals with matte tin finish, supporting reflow soldering per MIL-STD-202 Method 208. With RθJA = 625 °C/W on standard FR4 and 200 mW total power dissipation, thermal performance is optimized for compact, high-density PCB layouts without forced airflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V - maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration |
| IC | −100 mA - continuous DC collector current rating per transistor, defining linear operating range |
| hFE Matching | 0.9–1.0 ratio - ensures ≤10% current gain mismatch between transistors under identical bias conditions |
| VBE Matching | ≤2 mV difference - enables sub-millivolt input offset in differential pairs and current mirrors |
| fT | 100 MHz - usable bandwidth limit for small-signal amplification at IC = −10 mA, VCE = −5 V |
| RθJA | 625 °C/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on minimal 1 oz copper pad, critical for derating at elevated ambient temperatures |
| PD | 200 mW - total device power dissipation limit at TA = +25 °C, defining safe DC bias envelope |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT363 - 6-pin, surface-mount, molded plastic package with matte tin terminals; UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, weight ≈ 0.006 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| B1 | Base of Transistor 1 | Control terminal for first PNP; requires negative bias relative to emitter to enable conduction |
| E1 | Emitter of Transistor 1 | Current source node for Transistor 1; typically tied to higher potential in PNP applications |
| C1 | Collector of Transistor 1 | Output/current sink node for Transistor 1; connected to load or next stage |
| B2 | Base of Transistor 2 | Independent control terminal for second matched PNP; enables dual-bias or differential drive |
| E2 | Emitter of Transistor 2 | Isolated emitter node for Transistor 2; supports separate biasing or shared rail with guard traces |
| C2 | Collector of Transistor 2 | Second independent output node; allows parallel, cascode, or complementary pair implementation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Intrinsic die-matching | Adjacent-die fabrication ensures correlated process variation, delivering guaranteed VBE and hFE tracking without post-sorting |
| VBE matching tolerance | ≤2 mV at VCE = −5 V, IC = −2 mA - directly reduces input offset in precision current mirrors |
| hFE matching ratio | 0.9–1.0 - maintains consistent current division across transistors in active-load or gain-setting roles |
| Thermal isolation | Internally isolated structure minimizes thermal crosstalk between transistors, preserving matching under dynamic load conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar matched PNP transistor pair applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BS-7-F | NPN matched pair; VCEO = +45 V, hFE match = 10%, VBE match = 2 mV | Requires inverted supply topology; unsuitable for high-side current sources or PNP-specific bias networks | Select when NPN polarity aligns with existing schematic and layout constraints |
| MBT3906DW1T1G | Matched PNP pair; VCEO = −40 V, hFE match = 15%, VBE match = 3 mV, SOT-363 package | Lower voltage rating and looser matching reduce accuracy in high-voltage or precision current mirror use cases | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where ±1.5 °C sensor drift is tolerable |
Compared with BC847BS-7-F and MBT3906DW1T1G, BCM857BS-7-F offers superior VCEO margin (−45 V vs. −40 V/−45 V NPN), tighter VBE matching (2 mV vs. 2 mV/3 mV), and intrinsic die-matching-making it optimal for automotive and medical applications demanding long-term offset stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage for BCM857BS-7-F?
The absolute maximum VCEO is −45 V at TA = +25 °C. Operation beyond this rating risks irreversible breakdown. Derating is required above +25 °C per the datasheet's thermal curves; at +100 °C ambient, maximum safe VCEO drops to approximately −38 V due to junction temperature rise.
Does BCM857BS-7-F meet AEC-Q101 qualification requirements?
BCM857BS-7-F is designed and manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. While not pre-qualified as a standard part, Diodes offers AEC-Q101 qualification upon request for automotive programs-contact Diodes' automotive team with specific stress test and reliability requirements.
How is the 2 mV VBE matching measured and guaranteed?
VBE matching is measured differentially between the two transistors at VCE = −5 V and IC = −2 mA, with the smaller VBE subtracted from the larger. This specification is guaranteed by adjacent-die wafer processing and 100% final test screening-not statistical binning-ensuring every unit meets ≤2 mV across its qualified operating range.
Can BCM857BS-7-F be used in a common-base configuration?
Yes-each transistor supports common-base operation with VCB up to −50 V (BVCBO) and fT = 100 MHz. The matched pair enables balanced high-frequency current buffers; however, thermal coupling effects must be considered since both devices share the same die substrate, potentially affecting phase matching above 10 MHz.
