Product details
Overview
DDTA142JE-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP pre-biased digital transistor in SOT-523 package, designed for low-power switching and signal inversion in space-constrained PCBs. It features integrated 4.7 kΩ base-emitter (R2) and 10 kΩ base-collector (R1) biasing resistors, −40 V VCEO, −100 mA IC, and −0.3 V VCE(sat) at −5 mA/−0.25 mA drive - used in LED driver stages and logic-level interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDTA142JE-7 datasheet, DDTA142JE-7 pinout, DDTA142JE-7 application, or DDTA142JE-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified R1/R2 resistor values, guaranteed VCE(sat) at low IB, thermal derating on FR4, and compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V logic families driving inductive or capacitive loads.
Technical Context
This device integrates two precision thin-film resistors (R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 4.7 kΩ) directly on-die to eliminate external bias components and stabilize DC operating point. Its epitaxial planar PNP structure ensures consistent hFE dispersion and fast turn-off due to reduced minority-carrier storage time.
It operates as a single-stage active-low switch: input applied to Pin 1 (base via R1/R2 network), emitter tied to VCC (−5 V to −50 V), collector delivers inverted output. Designed for ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C with 625 °C/W RJA on standard FR4 layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −40 V - maximum allowable collector-to-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition |
| IC | −100 mA - continuous collector current rating defining safe switching capacity for load-side sourcing |
| VCE(sat) | −0.3 V @ −5 mA IC/−0.25 mA IB - ensures minimal power loss and voltage headroom in saturated switching mode |
| R1 / R2 | 10 kΩ / 4.7 kΩ - factory-trimmed internal bias network enabling direct TTL/CMOS logic interface without external resistors |
| PD | 150 mW @ TA = 25 °C - thermal limit dictating maximum dissipation on standard FR4 pad layout per AP02001 |
| fT | 200 MHz - usable bandwidth for pulse-width modulated signals up to ~20 MHz with <10% gain roll-off |
Pinout & Package
SOT-523 surface-mount package: ultra-compact 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm footprint, 0.5 mm pitch, matte tin-plated terminals, JEDEC-compliant leadframe (Alloy 42), moisture sensitivity Level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Input node connected to internal R1–R2 divider junction | Accepts logic-level voltage (−5 V to +5 V); internal resistors set IB automatically for predictable saturation |
| 2 (Emitter) | High-side reference terminal | Connected to negative supply rail (e.g., −5 V); defines common return path for load current |
| 3 (Collector) | Switched output terminal | Sinks current when active; delivers inverted logic state to downstream gate or LED anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias network | Factory-matched R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 4.7 kΩ eliminates external resistor placement and tolerance stack-up |
| Low VCE(sat) | −0.3 V enables >95% efficiency in 3.3 V logic-driven LED or relay drivers with minimal self-heating |
| High hFE consistency | Guaranteed hFE = 100–600 at IC = −1 mA ensures reliable turn-on across process and temperature variation |
| Lead-free & RoHS | Matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe meets J-STD-020C Level 1 and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements |
Applications
| LED Driver Stage | Logic-Level Inverter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 20 mA indicator LEDs from 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO pins with active-low control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP pre-biased switch sourcing current from −5 V rail to LED anode; collector pulls cathode to ground.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-low level shifter with fixed bias ensuring rail-to-rail swing and no floating input states. Use Value: Delivers deterministic −0.3 V low-state and −4.7 V high-state with <5 ns propagation skew between units. |
| Load Switch Interface | Power Sequencing Node |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling 12 V analog sensor modules using 3.3 V FPGA control outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch controlling VCC to sensor supply rail; emitter tied to 12 V, collector to sensor VIN. Use Value: Supports 100 mA peak load with <0.5 V dropout and inherent current limiting via R1/R2-defined IB. | Use Scenario: Controlling power-up order of dual-rail ASIC cores where Core B must activate 100 µs after Core A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Delayed enable gate triggered by Core A's reset release signal through RC network into base. Use Value: Provides repeatable 80–120 µs turn-on delay with ±5% variation across −40 °C to +85 °C. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP pre-biased switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTA142TE-7-F | No R1 resistor (open); only R2 = 4.7 kΩ present | Requires external pull-up for base bias; higher IB variability and slower turn-off | Select when adjustable base current or lower standby leakage is required |
| NSVD142JXV6T1G | R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 4.7 kΩ but in SC-75 package (larger footprint, 1.6 mm × 1.2 mm) | Compatible electrical behavior but incompatible with ultra-dense SOT-523 layouts | Select when board rework tolerance or thermal margin >200 mW is prioritized over size |
Compared with DDTA142TE-7-F, DDTA142JE-7 provides tighter IB control and faster switching; versus NSVD142JXV6T1G, it saves 0.32 mm² PCB area but requires stricter layout adherence to AP02001 thermal pads.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for DDTA142JE-7?
The absolute maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) is −40 V, and collector-base voltage (VCBO) is −50 V. Operation above −40 V between collector and emitter risks avalanche breakdown even with zero base current. Derating begins at +25 °C ambient per the 150 mW power limit and 625 °C/W thermal resistance curve.
Can DDTA142JE-7 replace a standard PNP transistor like BC807 in existing designs?
No - DDTA142JE-7 integrates fixed 10 kΩ and 4.7 kΩ bias resistors, so it cannot substitute for a bare PNP like BC807 without circuit redesign. Removing external base resistors would cause excessive IB and potential saturation failure. It replaces discrete transistor + two-resistor configurations, not the transistor alone.
Is the SOT-523 package hand-solderable using hot-air rework?
Yes, the SOT-523 package is compatible with hot-air rework at 350–380 °C tip temperature and controlled airflow, provided the PCB pad layout follows Diodes' AP02001 recommendation (0.3 mm solder mask opening, 0.5 mm copper pad). Its Level 1 moisture sensitivity allows floor life indefinitely without baking.
Does DDTA142JE-7 support PWM dimming of LEDs at 1 kHz?
Yes - with fT = 200 MHz and measured turn-off delay <1 µs, DDTA142JE-7 fully supports 1 kHz PWM dimming. At 20 mA load, VCE(sat) remains ≤−0.3 V, ensuring minimal duty-cycle distortion and thermal rise below 15 °C/W effective junction-to-ambient rise on standard FR4.
