Product details
Overview
DDTA113ZCA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 50V PNP pre-biased transistor in SOT23 package, featuring integrated R1 = 1 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ bias resistors. It delivers DC current gain (hFE) of 33 at IC = −10 mA, VCE = −5 V, supports −100 mA output current, and operates across −55°C to +150°C for automotive and industrial logic-level switching applications.
For engineers reviewing the DDTA113ZCA-7 datasheet, DDTA113ZCA-7 pinout, DDTA113ZCA-7 application, or DDTA113ZCA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage thresholds (Vin(on) = −3.0 V @ IOUT = −20 mA), output saturation voltage (VOUT(on) ≤ −0.3 V), resistor tolerance (±30% on R1), thermal resistance (625°C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification readiness.
Technical Context
This device integrates two precision bias resistors (R1 = 1 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ) directly into a PNP epitaxial planar transistor die, eliminating external base-resistor networks. Its internal resistor ratio (R2/R1 = 10) sets fixed current gain and enables predictable turn-on behavior with Vin(on) = −3.0 V and Vin(off) ≤ −0.3 V.
Designed for surface-mount automated assembly, it uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and achieves 200 mW power dissipation on FR4 PCBs. The SOT23 package supports high-density layouts while maintaining thermal performance up to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Automotive Door Module Logic Switch | Industrial PLC Input Buffer |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving small solenoids or LEDs in vehicle door latch assemblies using 5 V or 12 V battery-supplied rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP pre-biased switch controlling current flow from battery to load when MCU GPIO pulls base low. Use Value: Eliminates discrete base resistor design effort and ensures consistent turn-on threshold (Vin(on) = −3.0 V) across temperature and production lots. |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting and isolating 24 V industrial sensor signals into 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-low input buffer converting high-voltage off-state to logic-low, with built-in pull-down via R2.

Use Value: Built-in resistor tolerances (±30% R1, ±20% R2/R1) ensure predictable activation margin, supporting IEC 62304 Class C software safety requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP pre-biased transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTA123YCA-7 | R1 = 2.2 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ → higher input impedance, lower IIN (−3.8 mA @ VIN = −5 V). | Better suited for low-power MCU GPIOs with limited sink capability; slower turn-on due to reduced base drive. | Select when driving from weak-sink outputs (e.g., older 8-bit MCUs) or where reduced standby current is critical. |
| DDTA143XCA-7 | R1 = 4.7 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ → highest input impedance, lowest IIN (−1.8 mA @ VIN = −5 V), Vin(on) = −2.5 V. | Requires higher negative input swing for activation; optimized for ultra-low-power sensing nodes. | Choose for battery-powered edge sensors needing minimal quiescent current and relaxed input voltage margins. |
Compared with DDTA123YCA-7 and DDTA143XCA-7, DDTA113ZCA-7 provides the strongest base drive (IIN = −7.2 mA @ −5 V) and deepest Vin(on) (−3.0 V), making it optimal for fast, robust switching in noisy industrial environments where GPIO drive strength is assured.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage for DDTA113ZCA-7?
The absolute maximum input voltage (pin 1 to pin 2) is −10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this value risks permanent damage to the internal bias resistors or transistor junction. Operation above −10 V violates the device's safe operating area and may cause irreversible degradation even if within thermal limits.
Does DDTA113ZCA-7 meet AEC-Q101 stress test requirements?
DDTA113ZCA-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation; however, Diodes states that AEC-Q101 qualification requires specific change control and must be confirmed per part number with their automotive team. The datasheet notes "for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101… please contact us or your local Diodes representative."
Can DDTA113ZCA-7 replace a discrete PNP transistor plus two resistors?
Yes - DDTA113ZCA-7 replaces a standard PNP BJT (e.g., MMBT3906) plus 1 kΩ and 10 kΩ base resistors. Its integrated R1/R2 network matches the exact values and topology shown in the schematic diagram, preserving identical biasing behavior while reducing PCB area, assembly steps, and parametric variation from resistor tolerances.
What is the typical gain-bandwidth product (fT) of DDTA113ZCA-7?
The gain-bandwidth product is 250 MHz, measured at VCE = −10 V, IE = −5 mA, and f = 100 MHz. This specification confirms suitability for medium-speed digital switching (e.g., PWM up to ~10 MHz) but not RF amplification; the device is optimized for DC and low-frequency logic interface, not analog signal amplification.
