Product details
Overview
DDTA114EKA-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP pre-biased small-signal transistor in SC-59 package with integrated R1 = R2 = 10 kΩ bias resistors, −50 V VCEO, −50 mA IC max, and DC current gain (hFE) of 30 at −5 mA/−5 V. It functions as a digital switch or level translator in low-power logic interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDTA114EKA-7-F datasheet, DDTA114EKA-7-F pinout, DDTA114EKA-7-F application, or DDTA114EKA-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage thresholds (VIN(on) = −1.9 V typ), output saturation voltage (VCE(sat) = −0.1 V typ at −10 mA), built-in resistor tolerance (±30%), and SC-59 thermal resistance (625 °C/W).
Technical Context
This device implements a single PNP bipolar junction transistor with monolithically integrated base-emitter and base-collector bias resistors (R1 = R2 = 10 kΩ). Its internal configuration enables direct TTL/CMOS-compatible switching without external bias components.
It operates in saturation or cutoff modes only - not linear amplification - with guaranteed VIN(off) ≤ −0.5 V and VIN(on) ≥ −3 V, supporting robust noise margin in digital control paths where fast turn-on (ton < 100 ns) and low standby current (IO(off) ≤ −0.5 μA) are required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V: Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in 24 V or 36 V rail-switching applications. |
| IC max | −50 mA: Absolute maximum continuous collector current; sets upper limit for driving LEDs, relays, or logic inputs. |
| R1 / R2 | 10 kΩ ±30%: Matched on-die bias resistors eliminate external component count and reduce PCB footprint in discrete logic gate replacements. |
| hFE | 30 min @ −5 mA/−5 V: Confirmed DC current gain ensures reliable saturation under defined load conditions without overdrive. |
| VCE(sat) | −0.1 V typ @ −10 mA/−0.5 mA: Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and heat generation in high-duty-cycle switching. |
| PD | 200 mW: Power dissipation rating at TA = 25 °C; derates linearly above 25 °C per 625 °C/W thermal resistance. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC-59 - surface-mount, 3-pin plastic package with lead-free matte tin plating, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Emitter terminal | Connected to positive supply rail in high-side switch configurations; referenced as GND(+) in internal schematic. |
| 2 (Collector) | Collector terminal | Output node carrying switched load current; polarity inverted relative to input due to PNP topology. |
| 3 (Base) | Input node with R1–R2 bias network | Accepts logic-level input; internal resistive divider sets turn-on threshold and provides current limiting to base junction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated R1 = R2 bias network | Eliminates need for two external resistors, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in space-constrained designs. |
| SC-59 package with 625 °C/W RθJA | Enables thermal management on standard FR4 boards without heatsinking for ≤200 mW operation at ambient ≤85 °C. |
| Lead-free/RoHS-compliant construction | Meets global environmental compliance requirements including JEDEC J-STD-020C moisture sensitivity level 1. |
| VIN(on) = −1.9 V typ | Ensures compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V CMOS/TTL outputs while maintaining >1.5 V noise margin against ground bounce. |
Applications
| LED Driver Circuit | Microcontroller GPIO Expander |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 20 mA indicator LEDs from 3.3 V microcontroller I/O pins with open-drain or weak pull-up capability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side PNP switch enabling active-low LED control with minimal external components. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete base resistor and pull-up; reduces total component count by two per channel. | Use Scenario: Level-shifting and current boosting for legacy 5 V peripherals interfaced to modern 3.3 V MCUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital translator providing inverted logic output with defined VOL ≤ −0.3 V and IOH ≥ −10 mA. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity across voltage domains without requiring dedicated level-shifter ICs. |
| Power Rail Enable Switch | Industrial Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling auxiliary 12 V or 24 V subsystems using MCU-controlled enable signals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side load switch with controlled turn-on delay (<100 ns) and low quiescent current (<0.5 μA off-state). Use Value: Prevents uncontrolled inrush during power sequencing; supports fail-safe shutdown via logic-high disable. | Use Scenario: Interfacing NPN open-collector sensor outputs (e.g., proximity, limit switches) to 3.3 V FPGA or ASIC inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-pull-up buffer converting sinking outputs into clean CMOS-compatible rising edges. Use Value: Provides predictable rise time and eliminates floating input states without external pull-ups. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTA114YKA-7-F | Same R1=R2=10 kΩ, but uses SOT-323 package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 700 °C/W) | Better suited for ultra-dense layouts; lower power handling due to reduced thermal mass | Select when board area is critical and peak IC ≤ −30 mA |
| NSV11231T1G | PNP pre-biased, R1=10 kΩ, R2=10 kΩ, but rated for −100 mA IC and −60 V VCEO | Supports higher-current loads and wider supply rails; slightly larger SC-70 package | Select when driving >−50 mA loads or operating beyond −50 V |
Compared with DDTA114EKA-7-F, DDTA114YKA-7-F trades thermal performance for size, while NSV11231T1G extends voltage/current capability at the cost of footprint - both retain identical bias resistor matching and logic interface behavior.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 3 (Base) in DDTA114EKA-7-F?
Pin 3 is the input terminal connected internally to the base through a 10 kΩ resistor (R1) and to the emitter through another 10 kΩ resistor (R2). It accepts logic-level signals and automatically biases the PNP transistor into saturation or cutoff - no external base resistor is needed.
Can DDTA114EKA-7-F replace a standard PNP transistor like BC807?
Yes, but only in switching applications where its built-in 10 kΩ bias network matches the required drive conditions. Unlike BC807, it cannot be used in linear amplifier configurations due to fixed internal resistors and lack of base access.
What is the maximum operating temperature for continuous use?
The device is rated for junction temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C. At ambient temperatures up to +85 °C, full 200 mW power dissipation is allowed; above that, derating follows the 625 °C/W thermal resistance curve per the datasheet's Figure 1.
Is DDTA114EKA-7-F compatible with reflow soldering processes?
Yes - it is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020C with moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH and subjected to standard Pb-free reflow profiles without baking.
