Product details
Overview
DDTA115GUA-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP pre-biased small-signal transistor with built-in 100 kΩ bias resistor (R2 only), rated for -50 V VCEO, -100 mA IC, and 200 mW power dissipation in SOT-323 package; used in digital switching and level-shifting circuits in portable consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the DDTA115GUA-7-F datasheet, DDTA115GUA-7-F pinout, DDTA115GUA-7-F application, or DDTA115GUA-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include verified R2-only biasing topology, hFE = 82 at IC = -5 mA, VCE(sat) ≤ -0.3 V, ESD robustness per JEDEC JS-001, and RoHS-compliant green molding compound.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-PNP bipolar junction transistor with monolithic integration of one external-base bias resistor (R2) - no R1 - enabling simplified high-side switch control without discrete bias networks. It operates in active and saturation regions with guaranteed VCEO = -50 V and BVEBO = 5 V.
The SOT-323 package supports surface-mount reflow assembly with J-STD-020C Level 1 moisture sensitivity and UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Thermal resistance RθJA is 625 °C/W on FR4 board with AP02001-recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -50 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 3.3 V/5 V logic-level switched rails. |
| IC (max) | -100 mA - Continuous collector current limit; supports LED driver and load switch applications up to 100 mA. |
| PD | 200 mW - Power dissipation at TA = 25 °C; derates linearly above 25 °C per Fig. 1 curve. |
| hFE | 82 (min) - DC current gain at IC = -5 mA, VCE = -5 V; ensures reliable saturation with low base drive. |
| R2 | 100 kΩ ±30% - Integrated base-emitter pull-up resistor; eliminates need for external bias component in inverter configurations. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ -0.3 V - Saturation voltage at IC = -10 mA, IB = -0.5 mA; minimizes conduction loss in switching mode. |
| Tj range | -55 to +150 °C - Junction temperature operating window; qualified for industrial ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-323 - ultra-small plastic surface-mount case (2.00–2.20 mm length, 1.15–1.35 mm width, 0.25–0.40 mm thickness), lead-free matte tin plating, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity Level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter (E) | Current sink terminal | Connected to ground or low-side reference; forms common-emitter switching node. |
| Collector (C) | Current source terminal | Drives load toward positive rail; placed on high-side of switched load (e.g., LED anode). |
| Base (B) | Control input node | Internally connected to R2 (100 kΩ); accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible logic-high to turn off device. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| R2-only bias network | Single 100 kΩ resistor between base and emitter eliminates external bias components and reduces PCB footprint by ≥2 parts. |
| Green molding compound | Halogen-free, Sb2O3-free encapsulant compliant with Diodes Inc.'s "Green" Policy (date code 0627+). |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ -0.3 V at IC = -10 mA ensures < 3 mW conduction loss in 3.3 V systems, improving thermal margin. |
| High hFE | Min 82 at IC = -5 mA allows full saturation with ≤ 61 μA base current, reducing MCU GPIO loading. |
| SOT-323 footprint | 0.006 g weight and 1.2 mm × 2.1 mm outline enable space-constrained designs such as wearables and IoT sensors. |
Applications
| LED Indicator Driver | Microcontroller GPIO Expander |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving discrete status LEDs from 3.3 V microcontroller outputs with inverted logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side PNP switch controlled by MCU GPIO low-state to illuminate LED. Use Value: Built-in R2 eliminates external pull-up, saving 1 resistor and 2 pads per channel while maintaining VCE(sat) ≤ -0.3 V. | Use Scenario: Adding active-low output capability to resource-limited MCUs with limited drive strength. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic-level translator and current amplifier for driving 50 mA loads from 3.3 V GPIO. Use Value: hFE = 82 ensures full saturation with ≤ 61 μA base current, avoiding GPIO overcurrent and enabling direct connection. |
| Level-Shifting Interface | Power Rail Enable Switch |
Use Scenario: Converting 1.8 V logic signals to control 5 V peripheral enable lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting level shifter with VCEO = -50 V tolerance for 5 V rail compatibility. Use Value: Guaranteed BVEBO = 5 V and VCEO = -50 V allow safe operation across 1.8 V/5 V domain boundaries without clamping diodes. | Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling auxiliary 3.3 V power rails in battery-powered devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-quiescent-current high-side switch activated by system controller. Use Value: ICBO ≤ -0.5 μA and IEBO = -30 μA at VEB = -4 V ensure < 1 μA standby leakage, extending battery life. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTA115T-7-F | SOT-523 package (1.2 × 0.8 mm), same R2 = 100 kΩ, identical electrical specs except RθJA = 750 °C/W. | Higher thermal resistance limits continuous IC in compact layouts; suitable only where board area is more constrained than thermal budget. | Select when footprint reduction outweighs thermal derating needs. |
| NSV11500MT1G | PNP pre-biased (R2 = 100 kΩ), but includes R1 = 100 kΩ; dual-resistor topology increases input impedance and reduces base current sensitivity. | Not a drop-in replacement due to different bias configuration; requires circuit redesign to accommodate R1-R2 divider. | Choose only when higher noise immunity or tighter hFE stability across temperature is required. |
Compared with DDTA115GUA-7-F, DDTA115T-7-F trades thermal performance for smaller size, while NSV11500MT1G adds complexity for improved bias stability - neither offers identical R2-only simplicity and SOT-323 thermal balance.

FAQ
What is the function of the internal R2 resistor in DDTA115GUA-7-F?
The internal R2 resistor (100 kΩ ±30%) connects the base to the emitter, forming a pull-up network that ensures the transistor remains OFF when the base is left floating or driven high. This eliminates the need for an external resistor in inverter or high-side switch configurations, simplifying PCB layout and reducing part count.
Can DDTA115GUA-7-F be used in linear amplification applications?
No - DDTA115GUA-7-F is characterized and qualified exclusively for switching operation. Its hFE specification is given at IC = -5 mA and VCE = -5 V, and its R2-only biasing lacks the stability required for linear gain control. For analog amplification, discrete PNP transistors without integrated resistors (e.g., BC807) are recommended.
Is DDTA115GUA-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - it features matte tin-plated leads annealed over Alloy 42 leadframe and complies with J-STD-020C Level 1 moisture sensitivity. The device supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak temperature ≤ 260 °C) without preconditioning, provided the recommended SOT-323 pad layout (AP02001) is followed.
How does the SOT-323 package affect thermal performance?
The SOT-323 package delivers RθJA = 625 °C/W on FR4 boards using Diodes Inc.'s AP02001 pad layout. This allows 200 mW dissipation at TA = 25 °C but requires derating to ~125 mW at 75 °C ambient. Layout optimization (copper pour under exposed pad, thermal vias) can improve heat transfer but does not change the specified RθJA.
