Product details
Overview
CPH3114-TL-E from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) rated for −15 V VCEO, −1.5 A continuous collector current, and featuring low VCE(sat) of −120 mV at IC = −750 mA / IB = −15 mA. It delivers high-speed switching (ton = 50 ns, tf = 15 ns), fT = 350 MHz, and operates in ultrasmall CPH3 (SC-59/SOT-23) package with 0.9 mm mounting height - used in compact relay and lamp driver circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CPH3114-TL-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified VCE(sat) performance at high IC/IB ratios, thermal dissipation capability on ceramic substrate (0.9 W), and JEDEC-compliant SC-59 footprint compatibility for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT employs MBIT process technology to achieve high current gain (hFE = 200–560 at VCE = −2 V, IC = −100 mA) and fast switching dynamics. Its low saturation voltage and high fT support efficient DC-to-DC control and pulse-driven loads.
The device is optimized for single-ended, low-voltage switching applications where base drive efficiency and thermal management on minimal-area substrates are critical - evidenced by its specified 0.9 W power dissipation on 600 mm² ceramic and −55°C to +150°C storage range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −15 V - supports operation in −12 V rail systems with margin against transients |
| IC (cont.) | −1.5 A - enables direct driving of small relays, LEDs, or logic-level MOSFET gates |
| VCE(sat) @ IC/IB=50 | −210 to −320 mV - reduces conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switching |
| fT | 350 MHz - ensures stable gain at audio and low RF frequencies, supporting fast edge control |
| hFE | 200–560 - provides robust current amplification across temperature (−25°C to +75°C) |
| ton/tf | 50 ns / 15 ns - enables PWM operation up to ~5 MHz with minimal overlap loss |
| PC (ceramic) | 0.9 W - allows sustained operation without heatsink in thermally managed SMT layouts |
Pinout & Package
Package: CPH3 (JEITA/JEDEC compliant SC-59 / TO-236 / SOT-23), 3-pin surface-mount, 0.9 mm max height, 0.013 g mass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control input requiring −15 mA to −30 mA for full saturation at IC = −1.5 A |
| 2 | Emitter | Common return path tied to negative rail; must handle full load current and base current |
| 3 | Collector | Switched output node connected to load; reverse-biased during off-state to −15 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | −120 mV typical at IC = −750 mA - cuts conduction loss by >40% vs. standard PNP BJTs |
| High-speed switching | 50 ns turn-on / 15 ns fall time - supports clean digital interface timing and reduced EMI |
| Ultrasmall CPH3 package | 0.9 mm profile - enables stacking under connectors or placement in tight board cavities |
| High allowable power dissipation | 0.9 W on ceramic substrate - permits higher ambient operation without derating in industrial modules |
| MBIT process technology | Improved hFE consistency and fT stability over temperature - simplifies bias design |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBT3906LT1G | VCEO = −40 V, IC = −200 mA, VCE(sat) = −400 mV @ IC/IB = 10 - lower current, higher saturation loss | Suitable for signal-level inversion or low-power logic interfacing, not high-current loads | Select when voltage margin > −15 V is required and load current < 200 mA |
| DXT3906-7-F | VCEO = −40 V, IC = −2 A, VCE(sat) = −300 mV @ IC/IB = 20 - higher voltage rating but larger SOT-23-3 package (1.3 mm height) | Acceptable for same PCB layout if height tolerance allows; better for −24 V systems | Select when higher voltage headroom or slightly higher current is needed and 0.4 mm extra height is acceptable |
Compared with CPH3114-TL-E, MMBT3906LT1G trades current capacity and saturation performance for wider voltage range, while DXT3906-7-F offers higher voltage and current ratings at the cost of increased mounting height - making CPH3114-TL-E optimal for space- and efficiency-critical −12 V/−1.5 A switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for CPH3114-TL-E?
The CPH3114-TL-E has a maximum continuous collector current (IC) rating of −1.5 A at Ta = 25°C when mounted on a ceramic substrate (600 mm² × 0.8 mm). Derating applies above 25°C ambient, with PC dropping linearly to zero at 150°C junction temperature. This rating enables reliable use in relay and lamp driver applications without forced cooling.
Does CPH3114-TL-E support high-speed switching applications?
Yes, the CPH3114-TL-E supports high-speed switching with documented ton = 50 ns, tstg = 90 ns, and tf = 15 ns under standard test conditions. Its 350 MHz fT and low output capacitance (Cob = 17 pF at VCB = −10 V) make it suitable for PWM-driven loads up to several megahertz, including flash tube triggering and motor commutation control.
What package type does CPH3114-TL-E use, and is it JEDEC-compliant?
The CPH3114-TL-E uses the CPH3 package, which is identical to JEITA SC-59, JEDEC TO-236, and industry-standard SOT-23. Its dimensions (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.9 mm max) and 0.95 mm lead pitch match SOT-23 footprints, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs with compatible land patterns and reflow profiles.
What is the typical VCE(sat) of CPH3114-TL-E under common operating conditions?
The typical VCE(sat) of CPH3114-TL-E is −120 mV at IC = −750 mA and IB = −15 mA (IC/IB = 50), and −210 mV at IC = −1.5 A and IB = −30 mA (IC/IB = 50). These values reflect its low-saturation design, reducing power loss and thermal stress in high-current switching nodes.
Is CPH3114-TL-E RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, CPH3114-TL-E is Pb-free and RoHS-compliant, as confirmed by the "Pb Free" marking in the ordering information and onsemi's official documentation. It meets JEDEC J-STD-609 Category 1 for halogen content, making it suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and consumer electronics manufacturing.
