Product details
Overview
DDTA124XCA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 50V PNP pre-biased transistor in SOT23 package, featuring integrated R1=22kΩ and R2=47kΩ bias resistors, −50mA output current rating, −2.5V input turn-on voltage at −2mA load, and 68× DC current gain (hFE). It functions as a single-stage digital switch in low-power logic interface and level-shifting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDTA124XCA-7 datasheet, DDTA124XCA-7 pinout, DDTA124XCA-7 application, or DDTA124XCA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified input threshold voltage (−2.5V), guaranteed off-state leakage (<−0.5μA), resistor tolerance (±30% R1, ±20% R2 ratio), thermal resistance (625°C/W), and AEC-Q101 readiness for automotive signal conditioning.
Technical Context
This device integrates a PNP bipolar junction transistor with two discrete on-die biasing resistors (R1=22kΩ, R2=47kΩ) configured in standard emitter-follower feedback topology. Its input is applied to the base via R1, while R2 connects base to emitter - enabling direct TTL/CMOS-compatible switching without external bias components.
It operates within −55°C to +150°C ambient range, delivers −50mA maximum output current, and maintains −0.1V typical saturation voltage at −2mA drive. The 250MHz fT supports moderate-speed digital transitions up to ~10MHz edge rates in buffered I/O applications.
Key Specifications

| Output Saturation Voltage | −0.1V typ at −2mA; minimizes power loss and enables clean low-side switching in rail-to-rail signal paths |
| Thermal Resistance | 625°C/W; requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in space-constrained SOT23 layouts |
| Resistor Tolerance | R1 ±30%, R2/R1 ±20%; ensures predictable switching thresholds across manufacturing lots and temperature |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTA124ECA-7-F | R1=22kΩ, R2=22kΩ (1:1 ratio); higher input current (−0.5mA vs −0.36mA) | Better suited for faster switching where lower input impedance is acceptable | Select when driving from low-impedance sources or requiring tighter VIN(on) consistency |
| NSV124XDXV6T1G | Same R1/R2 values but rated for −100mA output; higher PD (310mW vs 200mW) | Supports heavier loads like relay coils or multi-LED strings without thermal derating | Choose when output current exceeds −50mA or board-level thermal budget is constrained |
Compared with DDTA124XCA-7, DDTA124ECA-7-F offers improved speed at the cost of higher input loading, while NSV124XDXV6T1G extends current capability and thermal headroom - making the original optimal for precision low-power logic interfacing where leakage and threshold stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for DDTA124XCA-7?
The absolute maximum continuous output current is −50mA, verified per DS30334 Rev. 8–2 Section "Absolute Maximum Ratings". This rating applies at TA = +25°C with FR4 PCB mounting using minimum recommended pad layout. Derating is required above +25°C ambient per the 625°C/W thermal resistance specification.
Does DDTA124XCA-7 require external bias resistors?
No. DDTA124XCA-7 integrates R1 = 22kΩ and R2 = 47kΩ on-die bias resistors in standard pre-biased configuration. These eliminate the need for external base-emitter or base-collector resistors in typical digital switching applications, reducing component count and layout complexity.
Is DDTA124XCA-7 qualified for automotive use?
DDTA124XCA-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. While not pre-qualified to AEC-Q101 in standard form, Diodes Incorporated confirms it meets all stress test requirements for AEC-Q101 when submitted through formal qualification programs - making it suitable for automotive signal interface applications with customer-led qualification.
What is the marking code for DDTA124XCA-7 on the SOT23 package?
The top-side marking is "P18", as specified in the Ordering Information table of DS30334 Rev. 8–2. This 2-character code uniquely identifies the DDTA124XCA-7 variant within the DDTA (R1≠R2 SERIES) CA family and is laser-etched on the device body for traceability.
