Product details
Overview
CPH3107-TL-E from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) rated for −15 V VCEO, −6 A IC, and −100 mV typical VCE(sat) at −3 A/−60 mA drive, optimized for high-current switching in relay, lamp, and motor driver circuits with ultrasmall CPH3 (SOT-23) package and 0.9 mm mounting height.
For engineers reviewing the CPH3107-TL-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified −15 V breakdown ratings, low saturation voltage under high current, 140 MHz fT, fast switching (ton = 30 ns, tf = 14 ns), and thermal performance on ceramic substrate.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT uses onsemi's MBIT process to achieve high current gain (hFE = 200–560 at −500 mA) and high-speed switching while maintaining low VCE(sat). Its design targets discrete power switching where compact size and thermal efficiency are critical.
The device operates within −55°C to +150°C storage range and supports DC and pulsed operation up to −9 A (ICP), with validated performance across temperature (−25°C to +75°C) in VCE(sat), hFE, and fT curves per official characterization data.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −15 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines usable supply headroom in negative-rail switching. |
| IC | −6 A - Continuous collector current rating; supports robust load driving without derating at Ta = 25°C on ceramic substrate. |
| VCE(sat) | −100 to −150 mV @ −3 A/−60 mA - Low conduction loss enables high-efficiency switching in battery-powered drivers. |
| fT | 140 MHz - Gain-bandwidth product confirms suitability for >1 MHz PWM control in motor/lamp applications. |
| tf | 14 ns - Fast fall time minimizes switching transition losses and EMI generation during turn-off. |
| PC | 0.9 W @ Ta = 25°C on 600 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic - Enables higher power density than standard SOT-23 in thermally constrained layouts. |
| Package | CPH3 (JEITA SC-59 / JEDEC TO-236 / SOT-23) - 0.9 mm profile allows ultra-thin PCB designs; 3,000 pcs./reel tape-and-reel (TL-E). |
Pinout & Package
CPH3107-TL-E is housed in the CPH3 package - an ultrasmall surface-mount outline identical to SC-59/TO-236/SOT-23, with 0.9 mm maximum mounting height and 0.013 g mass. Pin assignment is standardized: Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Emitter, Pin 3 = Collector.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Current-controlled input terminal; requires −60 mA drive for full saturation at −3 A load. |
| 2 | Emitter | Common reference node for PNP operation; connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., −12 V or −5 V supply). |
| 3 | Collector | Output terminal sourcing current to load; handles −6 A continuous, −9 A pulsed current with validated thermal path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | −100 mV typical at −3 A reduces conduction loss by >40% vs. standard PNP BJTs, improving thermal margin in relay drivers. |
| High-speed switching | 30 ns ton, 14 ns tf enable clean 1–2 MHz PWM operation without shoot-through risk in half-bridge gate drives. |
| Ultrasmall CPH3 package | 0.9 mm height and SOT-23 footprint allow placement in space-constrained IoT sensor modules and wearable power stages. |
| High allowable power dissipation | 0.9 W on ceramic substrate supports >2× average power vs. FR-4 PCB mounting, extending reliability in industrial motor controls. |
| MBIT process technology | Enables tight hFE distribution (200–560) and stable fT across temperature, reducing calibration overhead in production test. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBT3906LT1G | Lower IC (−200 mA), higher VCE(sat) (−400 mV @ −50 mA), SOT-23 package | Not suitable for >500 mA loads; limited to signal-level switching or bias networks | Select only for low-power logic inversion or level-shifting where CPH3107-TL-E's current capacity is unnecessary. |
| PN2907A | TO-92 through-hole, −600 mA IC, −10 V VCEO, no Pb-free TL-E tape option | Requires manual assembly or wave soldering; incompatible with automated SMT lines using CPH3107-TL-E's reel format | Choose only for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs where board real estate and automation are not constraints. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for CPH3107-TL-E?
The CPH3107-TL-E supports −6 A continuous collector current (IC) when mounted on a 600 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic substrate at Ta = 25°C. Derating is required above 25°C ambient per the PC–Ta curve in the official datasheet. This rating enables direct replacement of larger-package transistors in space-constrained relay and motor driver designs without thermal compromise.
Does CPH3107-TL-E have Pb-free and RoHS-compliant packaging?
Yes, CPH3107-TL-E is explicitly marked "Pb Free" in the ordering information and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The TL-E suffix denotes lead-free, halogen-free embossed tape-and-reel packaging with 3,000 units per reel-fully compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles and environmental compliance requirements for industrial and automotive end equipment.
What is the typical VCE(sat) of CPH3107-TL-E at rated current?
The typical collector-to-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of CPH3107-TL-E is −100 mV at IC = −3 A and IB = −60 mA, with a maximum of −150 mV under the same conditions. This low saturation voltage directly reduces conduction losses and self-heating, making CPH3107-TL-E especially effective in battery-powered lamp and relay drivers where efficiency and thermal management are critical.
Can CPH3107-TL-E be used in high-frequency switching applications?
Yes, CPH3107-TL-E has a gain-bandwidth product (fT) of 140 MHz and switching times of ton = 30 ns and tf = 14 ns, confirming suitability for PWM frequencies up to 2 MHz in well-designed layouts. Its performance is validated across temperature (−25°C to +75°C), and the CPH3 package's low parasitic capacitance (Cob = 82 pF at −10 V) supports clean edge integrity in fast-switching motor and flash circuits.
What is the pin configuration and package type of CPH3107-TL-E?
CPH3107-TL-E uses the CPH3 package (JEITA SC-59 / JEDEC TO-236 / SOT-23), with Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Emitter, Pin 3 = Collector. The package measures 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.9 mm and features a 0.9 mm maximum mounting height-enabling ultra-thin PCB assemblies. Land pattern and embossed taping specifications are documented in the official onsemi outline drawing EN6077C.
