Product details
Overview
BCR 196L3 E6327 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon digital transistor with integrated bias resistors (R1 = 47 kΩ, R2 = 22 kΩ), designed for low-power switching and interface applications. It delivers VCEO = 50 V, IC = 70 mA, VCE(sat) ≤ 0.3 V at IC = 10 mA / IB = 0.5 mA, and hFE ≥ 50 at 5 mA / 5 V - enabling direct microcontroller GPIO drive in level-shifting and load-switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BCR 196L3 E6327 datasheet, BCR 196L3 E6327 pinout, BCR 196L3 E6327 application, or BCR 196L3 E6327 equivalent, key selection criteria include built-in resistor ratio (R1/R2 = 2.14 typ.), thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 60 K/W), SOT23-3 package compatibility, and guaranteed Vi(off) ≤ 2.6 V for reliable logic-level turn-off in 3.3 V/5 V systems.
Technical Context
This digital transistor integrates two precision on-chip resistors to form a single-base-biased PNP switch, eliminating external bias components and reducing PCB footprint. Its fixed R1/R2 ratio ensures consistent turn-on threshold and saturation behavior across temperature and process variation.
The device operates in common-emitter configuration with guaranteed DC current gain (hFE ≥ 50) and low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) ≤ 0.3 V), supporting fast switching up to fT = 150 MHz while maintaining stable cutoff (ICBO ≤ 100 nA, IEBO ≤ 220 µA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - supports rail-to-rail switching in 24 V industrial control and 5 V logic interfaces without breakdown risk. |
| IC | 70 mA - sufficient for driving LEDs, small relays, and MOSFET gates in compact embedded systems. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.3 V at IC = 10 mA / IB = 0.5 mA - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in continuous-duty switching. |
| R1 / R2 | 2.14 (typ.) - sets precise input threshold (Vi(on) = 1.5–4 V) for robust noise immunity in noisy environments. |
| fT | 150 MHz - enables use in high-speed signal inversion and pulse generation up to ~10–20 MHz practical frequency. |
| RthJS | ≤ 60 K/W - allows 250 mW power dissipation at junction-to-solder-point, critical for thermal reliability in dense SMT layouts. |
Pinout & Package
BCR 196L3 E6327 is housed in a standard SOT23-3 plastic surface-mount package (JEDEC TO-236AB), with lead-free plating and RoHS compliance. Pin 1 = Base (B), Pin 2 = Emitter (E), Pin 3 = Collector (C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (B) | Input terminal with internal R1–R2 divider | Accepts logic-level input; R1 connects to input, R2 pulls base to emitter for defined off-state. |
| 2 (E) | Emitting terminal / reference node | Connected to system ground or negative rail; serves as common return path for input and output currents. |
| 3 (C) | Switched output terminal | Sinks current when active; used to drive loads between VCC and collector in high-side PNP configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias network | R1 = 47 kΩ ±25%, R2 = 22 kΩ ±25% - eliminates 2 external resistors, reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Guaranteed logic-compatible thresholds | Vi(on) ≤ 4 V, Vi(off) ≥ 1.2 V - ensures clean switching with 3.3 V and 5 V CMOS/TTL outputs. |
| Low saturation voltage | VCE(sat) ≤ 0.3 V - limits power loss to <3 mW at 10 mA, easing thermal design in space-constrained modules. |
| High fT and low Ccb | fT = 150 MHz, Ccb = 3 pF - supports fast edge rates and minimal propagation delay in digital signal paths. |
Applications
| LED Driver Circuit | Microcontroller Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving indicator or status LEDs from 3.3 V MCU GPIO pins with current limiting via collector resistor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP digital switch providing active-low LED sink control with no external bias components. Use Value: Reduces component count by two resistors per channel and guarantees Vi(off) ≥ 1.2 V to prevent leakage-induced false turn-on. |
Use Scenario: Level translation between 3.3 V logic and 5 V peripheral enable lines in mixed-voltage embedded systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting interface buffer with predictable VCE(sat) ≤ 0.3 V and hFE ≥ 50 for stable drive strength. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete resistor biasing while maintaining <100 ns propagation delay due to 150 MHz fT. |
| Relay Driver Stage | Power Rail Enable Switch |
Use Scenario: Controlling 5 V/12 V relay coils in industrial PLC I/O modules where space and reliability are critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side PNP switch sourcing coil current from VCC, activated by grounded MCU output. Use Value: Delivers 70 mA IC margin above typical 40 mA relay hold current and withstands 50 V transients during coil de-energization. |
Use Scenario: Enabling 3.3 V or 5 V subsystem rails (e.g., sensor or RF section) under firmware control in battery-powered devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side power switch with integrated pull-down ensuring default-OFF state on power-up. Use Value: Built-in R2 guarantees safe off-state even with floating MCU pins, preventing unintended power-up of downstream circuitry. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP digital transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC807-40,215 (Nexperia) | Standard PNP BJT (no built-in resistors); hFE = 250–600; requires external bias network. | Higher gain but adds 2 resistors and layout area; less suitable for ultra-compact designs. | Select when higher hFE or tighter VCE(sat) tolerance is required and board space permits external biasing. |
| DTC124EKAT146 (ROHM) | PNP digital transistor with R1 = 22 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ (inverted ratio); VCEO = 50 V, IC = 100 mA. | Lower input threshold (Vi(on) ≈ 0.7–1.2 V); may falsely trigger with leakage or noise in high-impedance nodes. | Select only when lower turn-on voltage is explicitly needed and noise environment is tightly controlled. |
Compared with BC807-40,215 and DTC124EKAT146, BCR 196L3 E6327 offers optimal balance of integration (no external resistors), noise-immune input threshold (Vi(off) ≥ 1.2 V), and thermal performance (RthJS ≤ 60 K/W) for space- and reliability-critical 3.3 V/5 V interface applications.

FAQ
Is BCR 196L3 E6327 compatible with 3.3 V logic inputs?
Yes. Its guaranteed Vi(on) range (1.5–4 V) and Vi(off) (1.2–2.6 V) ensure reliable turn-on with 3.3 V CMOS outputs and robust turn-off even with minor leakage or noise. The integrated R1–R2 network provides defined input impedance (~69 kΩ total), eliminating floating-input risks.
What is the maximum continuous collector current at 85°C ambient?
At TA = 85°C, derating applies based on RthJA. For SOT23-3 mounting on 1 cm² copper, Ptot drops to ~120 mW, limiting IC to approximately 45 mA at VCE(sat) = 0.3 V. Full 70 mA rating is valid only at TS ≤ 135°C (case temperature), per datasheet thermal curves.
Can BCR 196L3 E6327 replace a standard PNP transistor like BC807 in existing designs?
Only with schematic modification: BCR 196L3 E6327 has three terminals but functions as a 2-pin-input device (base tied internally to R1/R2). Replacing BC807 requires removing external base resistors and verifying that the new input threshold meets system logic levels - it is not a drop-in mechanical or electrical substitute.
Does this part support PWM switching at 20 kHz?
Yes. With fT = 150 MHz and low Ccb = 3 pF, BCR 196L3 E6327 supports clean 20 kHz PWM operation. Measured VCE(sat) remains ≤ 0.3 V and switching times (ton/toff) are sub-100 ns, provided gate drive impedance is ≤ 1 kΩ and load is resistive or lightly capacitive.
