Product details
Overview
DDC144TH-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an NPN pre-biased dual small-signal transistor in SOT563 package, featuring integrated 47kΩ bias resistors per channel, 50V VCEO, 100mA IC(MAX), and hFE of 100–600 at 1mA/5V - used for digital logic interfacing and level translation in space-constrained consumer and industrial control boards.
For engineers reviewing the DDC144TH-7-F datasheet, DDC144TH-7-F pinout, DDC144TH-7-F application, or DDC144TH-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include built-in resistor tolerance (±30%), dual-channel isolation, thermal resistance (833°C/W), and RoHS-compliant green packaging with J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
This dual NPN transistor integrates two independent epitaxial planar devices with monolithically embedded base-emitter bias resistors (R1 = 47kΩ nominal) to eliminate external bias components in switching applications. Each channel operates up to 50V VCEO and delivers guaranteed hFE ≥100 at IC = 1mA, VCE = 5V.
The SOT563 package supports high-density mounting with 0.015g mass and UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Thermal performance is specified at 150mW power dissipation on FR4 PCB with minimum pad layout, and junction temperature range spans −55°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under 1mA test current; defines safe DC switching headroom. |
| IC(MAX) | 100 mA - Absolute maximum continuous collector current per channel; sets upper limit for load drive capability. |
| hFE | 100–600 - DC current gain range at IC = 1mA, VCE = 5V; determines base drive requirements for saturation. |
| R1 | 32.9–61.1 kΩ - Tolerance range of integrated base resistor; impacts input current accuracy and noise immunity. |
| PD | 150 mW - Max power dissipation per device at +25°C ambient on standard FR4; constrains thermal design margin. |
| RθJA | 833 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; indicates self-heating rise per milliwatt under defined PCB layout. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤0.3 V - Collector-emitter saturation voltage at IC/IB = 1mA/0.1mA; defines low-loss ON-state conduction. |
Pinout & Package
SOT563 is a 6-pin, dual-row surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.60 × 1.20 × 0.60 mm (L × W × H), with matte tin-plated leads rated for MIL-STD-202 solderability and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 1 | Emitter 1 | Common emitter connection for first NPN transistor; referenced to ground in typical switch configuration. |
| 2 | Base 1 | Input node for first transistor; internally connected to 47kΩ resistor to Pin 3 (Collector 1). |
| 3 | Collector 1 | Output node for first transistor; tied to load supply rail in high-side switch topology. |
| 4 | Emitter 2 | Common emitter connection for second NPN transistor; electrically isolated from Pin 1. |
| 5 | Base 2 | Input node for second transistor; internally connected to 47kΩ resistor to Pin 6 (Collector 2). |
| 6 | Collector 2 | Output node for second transistor; enables dual independent switching in compact footprint. |

Use Value: Dual-channel isolation prevents crosstalk between red/green segments, ensuring unambiguous status indication per IEC 62366 usability requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual NPN pre-biased transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSVD144THFCT1G | Same SOT563 package, identical 47kΩ R1, but hFE min = 80 vs. 100; VCEO = 50V unchanged. | Lower hFE requires higher base drive current to guarantee saturation at 100mA loads. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs marginal gain margin; verify IB ≥ 0.2mA in final design. |
| EMH11T2R | Smaller SOT-723 package (1.25 × 0.85 × 0.5mm), same 47kΩ R1, but PD = 125mW and RθJA = 1000°C/W. | Reduced thermal capability limits continuous operation above 75mA at +85°C ambient. | Prefer for ultra-miniature wearables where size trumps power handling; avoid in thermally constrained enclosures. |
Compared with NSVD144THFCT1G and EMH11T2R, DDC144TH-7-F offers superior hFE consistency and thermal robustness in the same SOT563 footprint - making it optimal for industrial control interfaces requiring reliable saturation across temperature and supply variation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable base-emitter reverse voltage for DDC144TH-7-F?
The absolute maximum emitter-base breakdown voltage (BVEBO) is 5V at IE = 50μA, meaning the base-emitter junction must not be reverse-biased beyond this value to prevent permanent damage. This limits use in AC-coupled or negative-going signal paths without clamping.
Can DDC144TH-7-F drive a 10mA LED load directly from a 3.3V GPIO?
Yes - with VCE(sat) ≤0.3V and hFE ≥100 at IC = 1mA, the device saturates fully at 10mA with ~0.1mA base current. A 3.3V GPIO driving through the internal 47kΩ resistor delivers ~70μA, so an external 10kΩ base resistor is required to achieve full saturation.
Is the SOT563 package of DDC144TH-7-F compatible with reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes - the matte tin-plated leads meet MIL-STD-202 Method 208 solderability requirements and support standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 60-second duration). J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity confirms no bake preconditioning is needed prior to assembly.
Does DDC144TH-7-F support simultaneous conduction of both channels at 50mA each?
No - total power dissipation would reach 2 × (50mA × 0.3V) = 30mW, well within the 150mW per-element limit. However, thermal coupling in SOT563 means junction temperature rise scales with combined dissipation; sustained dual 50mA operation requires ambient ≤+70°C to stay within −55°C to +150°C TJ range.
