Product details
Overview
DDTA115EE-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 50V PNP pre-biased transistor in SOT523 package with integrated bias resistors R1 = R2 = 100kΩ, designed for digital switching and level translation in low-power logic interfaces. It delivers -20mA max output current, -0.3V saturation voltage at -1mA load, and DC current gain of -82 at VO = -5V, IO = -5mA. Used in portable battery-powered microcontroller I/O conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the DDTA115EE-7-F datasheet, DDTA115EE-7-F pinout, DDTA115EE-7-F application, or DDTA115EE-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (-40V to +10V), guaranteed -0.15mA input current at VI = -5V, thermal resistance (833°C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification readiness for automotive signal conditioning.
Technical Context
This device integrates a PNP bipolar transistor with two matched 100kΩ bias resistors (R1 = R2) in a single SOT523 package, forming an inverter circuit where Pin 1 is input, Pin 2 is emitter (GND reference), and Pin 3 is collector/output. It operates as a digital switch with defined turn-on/off thresholds and fixed current gain.
The internal resistor ratio tolerance is tightly controlled at 0.8–1.2%, ensuring consistent switching behavior across production lots. Its 250MHz gain-bandwidth product supports high-speed digital transitions up to ~10MHz edge rates under typical loads.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for DDTA115EE-7-F?
The absolute maximum input voltage (Pin 1 to Pin 2) is -40V to +10V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This range accommodates transient overvoltage events in automotive environments and ensures robust operation when interfacing with mixed-voltage logic families, including 3.3V, 5V, and 12V systems.
Does DDTA115EE-7-F require external bias resistors?
No. DDTA115EE-7-F integrates two matched 100kΩ bias resistors (R1 = R2) internally, eliminating the need for external base resistors. This simplifies design, reduces PCB footprint, and improves consistency across production units compared to discrete transistor + resistor solutions.
Is DDTA115EE-7-F qualified for automotive use?
While not fully AEC-Q101 certified out-of-box, this part is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and qualified to JEDEC high-reliability standards referenced in AEC-Q. Diodes states that automotive-grade versions with full PPAP documentation are available upon request for qualified programs.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of DDTA115EE-7-F on a standard FR-4 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 833°C/W when mounted on an FR-4 PCB with minimum recommended pad layout. This value assumes no copper pour or thermal vias; adding thermal relief pads or ground-plane connections can reduce effective RθJA by up to 30% in production layouts.
