Product details
Overview
BCM857BV-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a matched dual PNP small-signal transistor in SOT563 package, rated for -45V VCEO, -100mA IC, and featuring 2% hFE matching and 2mV VBE matching between transistors. It is used in precision current mirrors, differential amplifiers, and temperature-stable bias networks in automotive and industrial control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BCM857BV-7 datasheet, BCM857BV-7 pinout, BCM857BV-7 application, or BCM857BV-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include matched hFE tolerance, VBE tracking under bias, thermal coupling in SOT563, and suitability for high-reliability analog front-ends requiring intrinsic die-level matching.
Technical Context
The BCM857BV-7 integrates two adjacent PNP transistors on a single silicon die to ensure tight parametric matching-2% hFE ratio and ≤2mV VBE difference at IC = −2mA, VCE = −5V. Its fully isolated internal structure prevents cross-talk while maintaining thermal proximity.
Designed for stable analog signal conditioning, it supports operation from −65°C to +150°C with 4kV HBM ESD rating and meets AEC-Q101 qualification requirements when specified for automotive use. The SOT563 footprint enables compact layout of matched pairs without discrete placement error.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration. |
| IC | −100mA: Continuous collector current per transistor, enabling robust biasing in active-load stages. |
| hFE Matching | 2%: Ratio of smaller/larger hFE values ensures predictable current mirror accuracy over temperature. |
| VBE Matching | ≤2mV: Enables sub-0.1% offset in differential pair inputs and low-drift reference generators. |
| fT | 100–175MHz: Supports high-frequency analog feedback loops up to ~100MHz with adequate phase margin. |
| RθJA (dual) | 250°C/W: Thermal resistance under full dual-die operation defines maximum power derating on standard PCBs. |
| ESD HBM | 4000V: Robustness against human-body discharge during board assembly and handling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT563 - ultra-compact 6-pin surface-mount package with 0.5mm pitch, 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint, and 0.2mm nominal thickness. Molded green compound (UL 94V-0), matte tin-plated copper leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| B1 | Base of Transistor 1 | Direct control node for first PNP; requires current-limited drive due to VEB = 5V max. |
| E1 | Emitter of Transistor 1 | Common emitter connection point; often tied to supply rail in high-side switch or current mirror top. |
| C1 | Collector of Transistor 1 | Output node for first transistor; routed to load or next stage with <200mV saturation at −10mA. |
| B2 | Base of Transistor 2 | Independent base terminal for second matched PNP; enables differential or complementary biasing. |
| E2 | Emitter of Transistor 2 | Second emitter node; may be tied to E1 for parallel operation or kept separate for differential topology. |
| C2 | Collector of Transistor 2 | Second output collector; identical saturation and gain behavior as C1 within 2% hFE tolerance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Intrinsically matched die pair | Adjacent dies on same wafer enable <2mV VBE and 2% hFE matching without external trimming. |
| Thermally coupled structure | Shared substrate minimizes ΔT between transistors, preserving matching across −65°C to +150°C range. |
| Isolated transistor operation | Internal isolation eliminates parasitic conduction paths, allowing independent biasing of each PNP. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified option | Available with PPAP support and IATF 16949 manufacturing for automotive sensor and power management modules. |
Applications
| Current Mirror Circuit | Differential Amplifier Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Precision DC current replication in analog sensor interfaces and voltage references. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual PNP pair acts as high-accuracy, thermally tracked current mirror with <0.5% error over temperature. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete matching or laser trimming; reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. | Use Scenario: Input stage of rail-to-rail operational amplifier in automotive engine control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Matched PNP pair provides balanced input bias and common-mode rejection >80dB. Use Value: Maintains CMRR stability across wide ambient temperature swings without external calibration. |
| Temperature-Stable Bias Generator | High-Side Load Switch Driver |
Use Scenario: Bias network for Class AB audio output stages requiring minimal thermal drift. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual PNP forms VBE-multiplier with matched ΔVBE scaling for accurate quiescent current setting. Use Value: Achieves <±5% IQ variation from −40°C to +125°C without compensation components. | Use Scenario: High-side current sensing and switching in 12V/24V industrial power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One transistor drives gate of external P-MOSFET; second provides feedback-controlled current limit. Use Value: Enables fast overcurrent shutdown (<1µs response) using matched VBE threshold detection. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar matched PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCM857BS-7 | SOT-363 package (larger footprint, 0.65mm pitch); same electrical specs but lower thermal coupling. | Less suitable for ultra-low-offset current mirrors due to greater inter-transistor thermal gradient. | Select when board space allows larger package and thermal matching is secondary to cost. |
| DMN3026LSD-13 | Single N-channel MOSFET; no matching, no bipolar gain, different topology (voltage-driven vs. current-driven). | Not functionally equivalent-requires redesign for gate drive, lacks inherent VBE tracking. | Only consider for non-matching, high-speed switching roles where bipolar linearity is unnecessary. |
Compared with BCM857BS-7, the BCM857BV-7 delivers superior thermal and parametric matching in a smaller footprint; versus DMN3026LSD-13, it provides essential bipolar characteristics-linear gain, predictable VBE, and intrinsic matching-for analog precision tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for BCM857BV-7?
The BCM857BV-7 is rated for junction and storage temperatures from −65°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance (RθJA) is 250°C/W for dual-die operation on a standard 1oz copper PCB, meaning power dissipation must be limited to ≤2mW at +150°C ambient to stay within absolute max ratings.
Can BCM857BV-7 replace discrete unmatched PNP transistors in existing designs?
Yes-but only if the design relies on matched parameters. Replacing two discrete BC857Bs with BCM857BV-7 improves VBE tracking by >10× and hFE matching by 5×, reducing offset drift in current mirrors and differential pairs. Layout changes are required to accommodate SOT563's 6-pin, 0.5mm-pitch footprint.
Is BCM857BV-7 qualified for automotive applications?
The BCM857BV-7 is AEC-Q101 qualified when ordered with automotive-specific change control (PPAP-capable, manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities). Standard commercial-grade BCM857BV-7 is not automatically qualified-customers must specify automotive grade at order time and confirm qualification status via Diodes' automotive support team.
How does the SOT563 package affect thermal performance compared to SOT-363?
SOT563 has higher power density and tighter thermal coupling than SOT-363 due to smaller die spacing and shared thermal path. Its RθJA is 250°C/W (dual) versus ~300°C/W for SOT-363, enabling better matching stability under dynamic load but requiring stricter PCB copper area management to avoid local hot spots.
