Product details
Overview
DDTA143FE-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP pre-biased small-signal transistor in SOT523 package, featuring built-in bias resistors R1 = 4.7 kΩ and R2 = 22 kΩ, −30 V maximum collector-emitter voltage, −100 mA continuous output current, and DC current gain (hFE) of 68 at −10 mA/−5 V. It is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive signal switching applications.
For engineers reviewing the DDTA143FE-7-F datasheet, DDTA143FE-7-F pinout, DDTA143FE-7-F application, or DDTA143FE-7-F equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, terminal roles, automotive-grade reliability context, and real-world use cases in level-shifting, LED driver control, and logic interface circuits.
Technical Context
This device integrates a PNP bipolar transistor with asymmetric internal bias resistors (R1 ≠ R2), enabling direct digital logic-level drive without external base resistors. Its input voltage threshold (VIN(ON)) is −1.1 V at IO = −3 mA, and saturation voltage (VCE(SAT)) is ≤ −0.3 V under same conditions.
The SOT523 package supports high-density PCB layouts with thermal resistance RθJA = 833 °C/W on FR4, and the device operates across −55 °C to +150 °C, meeting automotive ambient requirements. Gain-bandwidth product fT is 250 MHz, confirming suitability for low-speed switching-not RF amplification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| R1 Resistor | 4.7 kΩ ±30% - sets base current limit for predictable turn-on behavior with standard logic outputs |
| R2 Resistor | 22 kΩ ±30% - provides active pull-down path to ensure fast, reliable turn-off and prevent floating base |
| VCEO | −30 V - supports operation in 24 V automotive supply rails with margin against transients |
| IC(MAX) | −100 mA - drives medium-current loads such as indicator LEDs or small relays directly |
| hFE | 68 at −10 mA / −5 V - ensures stable current amplification in saturated switch mode |
| VCE(SAT) | ≤ −0.3 V at −3 mA - minimizes power loss and heating during conduction |
| PD | 150 mW - defines maximum steady-state dissipation on standard FR4 layout |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTA143ZE-7-F | R2 = 47 kΩ (vs. 22 kΩ); higher input impedance, slower turn-off | Better suited for low-power standby circuits where leakage must be minimized | Select when lower quiescent current (<−0.5 µA) and reduced base drive demand are prioritized over switching speed |
| DDTC143EE-7-F | NPN complement; identical R1/R2 values but opposite polarity and pinout (Emitter/Collector swapped) | Used in low-side switching topologies requiring sourcing from ground rather than sinking to rail | Choose for designs already using NPN logic interfaces or where board layout favors emitter-grounded configuration |
Compared with DDTA143ZE-7-F and DDTC143EE-7-F, the DDTA143FE-7-F offers optimal balance of turn-on sensitivity (−1.1 V), moderate R2 value for fast discharge, and AEC-Q101 compliance-making it preferred for automotive signal switching where both speed and reliability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for DDTA143FE-7-F?
The DDTA143FE-7-F is rated for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C, validated per AEC-Q101 thermal cycling and high-temperature reverse bias tests. This enables use in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures without thermal derating up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Can DDTA143FE-7-F replace a standard PNP transistor with external base resistors?
Yes-it replaces a discrete PNP transistor plus two base resistors (R1 and R2) in one SOT523 package. Its internal 4.7 kΩ and 22 kΩ resistors provide defined biasing, eliminating layout uncertainty and improving production consistency in logic-level interface circuits.
Is DDTA143FE-7-F pin-compatible with other DDTA-series transistors?
Yes-all DDTA (R1≠R2) devices share identical SOT523 pinout: Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pin 3 = Collector. This allows drop-in substitution within the series when R1/R2 values match design requirements, simplifying variant management.
Does DDTA143FE-7-F support 1.8 V logic input drive?
No-its VIN(ON) is −1.1 V at IO = −3 mA, meaning it requires ≥1.1 V magnitude negative input swing relative to emitter. A 1.8 V positive logic signal referenced to ground cannot directly drive it; level-shifting or inversion is required for compatibility.
