Product details
Overview
BCV28H6327XTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon Darlington transistor designed for general audio-frequency amplification and low-speed switching in automotive and industrial control circuits. It delivers 500 mA collector current, 30 V VCEO, minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 4000 at 10 µA IC, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature. Its SOT-89 package supports thermal dissipation up to 1 W at TS ≤ 130 °C.
For engineers reviewing the BCV28H6327XTSA1 datasheet, BCV28H6327XTSA1 pinout, BCV28H6327XTSA1 application, or BCV28H6327XTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Darlington saturation voltage (VCEsat ≤ 1 V at IC = 100 mA), high hFE stability across IC = 10 µA–500 mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The BCV28H6327XTSA1 integrates two cascaded PNP transistors in a single SOT-89 package to achieve high current gain with minimal base drive. Its Darlington configuration enables direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs driving moderate loads such as relays or small solenoids without external amplification stages.
It features complementary NPN counterpart BCV29 and shares identical SOT-89 footprint and thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 20 K/W). Electrical characteristics are specified over −55 °C to 150 °C, supporting operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial motor-control feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 30 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in open-base condition |
| IC | 500 mA - Continuous collector current rating enabling direct relay coil drive |
| hFE | 4000–20000 - High DC current gain ensures <100 µA base current suffices for 500 mA output |
| VCEsat | ≤1 V @ IC=100 mA, IB=0.1 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss in switching mode |
| RthJS | ≤20 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to soldering point supports 1 W dissipation at TS ≤ 130 °C |
| fT | 200 MHz - Transition frequency confirms suitability for AF amplification up to ~10 kHz with margin |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress-test requirements for automotive electronic components |
Pinout & Package
SOT-89 package: 3-pin surface-mount plastic case with exposed thermal pad on underside; pin 1 = Base, pin 2 = Collector, pin 3 = Emitter; standardized footprint per Infineon outline drawing (Rev. 2009-11-16).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Control input | Receives low-current signal to enable high-current conduction between C and E |
| 2 (Collector) | High-side load connection | Connected to positive supply rail when used in low-side switch configuration |
| 3 (Emitter) | Current return path | Typically tied to ground; provides reference for VBE bias and sets emitter-follower output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High hFE at low IC | Min. 4000 at IC = 10 µA - Enables reliable turn-on with weak MCU outputs |
| Low VCEsat | ≤1 V at IC = 100 mA - Reduces conduction loss in 12 V relay drivers by >30% vs. standard PNP |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive ambient temperatures (−55 °C to 150 °C) - Eliminates need for additional qualification testing |
| Complementary pairing | Matched with BCV29 (NPN) - Simplifies push-pull output stage design in linear regulators and H-bridge pre-drivers |
Applications
| Automotive Door Lock Actuator Control | Industrial PLC Output Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V, 300 mA solenoid lock actuators in vehicle door modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP Darlington switch providing high-gain current amplification from 3.3 V MCU GPIO. Use Value: VCEsat ≤ 1 V limits power dissipation to <300 mW, avoiding heatsink requirement in space-constrained modules. | Use Scenario: Switching 24 V DC loads (valves, indicators) in programmable logic controller output cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage current amplifier interfacing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) I/O banks to industrial loads. Use Value: hFE ≥ 4000 allows full 500 mA drive with <125 µA FPGA output current, preserving I/O drive strength for other functions. |
| Audio Frequency Pre-amplifier | Temperature Sensor Bias Circuit |
Use Scenario: Low-noise, high-input-impedance pre-amplifier stage for electret microphone signals in infotainment systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-collector (emitter-follower) buffer isolating sensitive analog front-end from downstream ADC input capacitance. Use Value: fT = 200 MHz ensures flat gain response up to 20 kHz with <0.1 dB deviation, meeting automotive audio fidelity specs. | Use Scenario: Constant-current bias source for platinum RTD (PT100) sensors in HVAC control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision current source configured with external resistor to deliver stable 1 mA excitation current. Use Value: hFE stability over −40 °C to 125 °C maintains <±0.5% current error across operating range, eliminating calibration drift. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP Darlington transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCV29H6327XTSA1 | NPN complement; same SOT-89 package, 30 V VCEO, 500 mA IC, but opposite polarity | Required where load connects to VCC (high-side switching) instead of ground | Select when circuit topology demands NPN Darlington behavior or push-pull symmetry |
| ZTX951 | Higher VCEO (60 V), lower hFE (min. 1000), TO-92 package - no AEC-Q101 qualification | Suitable for non-automotive 24 V industrial controls where qualification is not mandated | Choose only if higher voltage rating is critical and automotive compliance is unnecessary |
Compared with BCV29H6327XTSA1, the BCV28H6327XTSA1 enables grounded-load switching with minimal base drive; versus ZTX951, it trades voltage headroom for guaranteed automotive qualification and superior current gain at low drive levels.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable continuous collector current for BCV28H6327XTSA1?
The BCV28H6327XTSA1 is rated for 500 mA continuous collector current (IC) at case temperature TS ≤ 130 °C. Derating is required above this temperature per the Ptot vs. TS curve in Infineon's datasheet (EHP00310), with zero dissipation at 150 °C junction temperature.
Does BCV28H6327XTSA1 require a base resistor, and how is its value calculated?
Yes - a series base resistor is mandatory to limit base current. For IC = 500 mA and minimum hFE = 4000, required IB ≥ 125 µA. With VBEsat ≈ 1.5 V and 3.3 V MCU output, RB = (3.3 V − 1.5 V)/125 µA = 14.4 kΩ; 12 kΩ is recommended for margin.
Can BCV28H6327XTSA1 be used in linear regulator pass transistor applications?
No - its Darlington structure introduces high VBEsat (~1.5 V) and poor SOA (Safe Operating Area) under linear bias. It is optimized for saturated switching, not analog regulation. Use dedicated LDOs or single-transistor pass elements like BD139 for linear applications.
Is BCV28H6327XTSA1 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - it is RoHS-compliant and qualified for standard Pb-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds, with ramp rates ≤ 3 °C/s, matching IPC-A-610 Class 3 requirements for automotive assemblies.
