Product details
Overview
DDTA143XCA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 50V PNP pre-biased transistor in SOT23 package, featuring integrated R1 = 4.7kΩ and R2 = 10kΩ bias resistors. It delivers -100mA max output current, -2.5V input turn-on voltage at -20mA load, and DC current gain (hFE) of 30 at -10mA collector current. It serves as an on/off switch in low-power digital interface circuits such as microcontroller GPIO drivers.
For engineers reviewing the DDTA143XCA-7 datasheet, DDTA143XCA-7 pinout, DDTA143XCA-7 application, or DDTA143XCA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified input threshold voltage (-2.5V), guaranteed off-state leakage (<0.5μA), resistor ratio tolerance (±20%), thermal resistance (625°C/W), and automotive-grade packaging compliance (J-STD-020 Level 1).
Technical Context
This device integrates a PNP bipolar junction transistor with two monolithically embedded silicon resistors-R1 (4.7kΩ) connected between base and input, R2 (10kΩ) between base and emitter-to eliminate external bias components. Its negative-input logic interface enables direct connection to 3.3V/5V MCU outputs without level-shifting.
The SOT23 package supports automated pick-and-place assembly and provides 200mW power dissipation capability under standard FR4 PCB mounting. Device operation is validated across -55°C to +150°C ambient temperature range, with guaranteed performance at VCC = -50V and IC(max) = -100mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -50V - Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in high-side switching. |
| IC(max) | -100mA - Absolute maximum continuous collector current; sets upper limit for load-driving capability. |
| VIN(on) | -2.5V @ IOUT = -20mA - Input voltage required to saturate transistor; ensures reliable turn-on from standard logic levels. |
| hFE | 30 @ VCE = -5V, IC = -10mA - DC current gain; determines base drive efficiency and switching speed in saturated mode. |
| R1/R2 | 4.7kΩ / 10kΩ ±20% - Precision-matched internal bias network; eliminates need for external resistors and reduces BOM count. |
| PD | 200mW - Maximum power dissipation at TAMB = +25°C; constrains thermal design margin on standard PCBs. |
| RθJA | 625°C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; indicates temperature rise per watt under specified pad layout. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - Surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals, JEDEC TO-236AB compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin-plated leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Emitter terminal of PNP transistor | Connected to higher potential (e.g., VCC); current flows out when device is active. |
| 2 (Base) | Base node with internal R1–R2 divider | Internally biased via 4.7kΩ (R1) and 10kΩ (R2); no external base resistor needed. |
| 3 (Collector) | Collector terminal of PNP transistor | Connected to load; sinks current to ground when transistor is on. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias resistors | R1 = 4.7kΩ, R2 = 10kΩ with ±20% ratio tolerance - reduces component count and layout area in digital switching nodes. |
| Automated assembly compatibility | SOT23 footprint with J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture rating - enables high-yield reflow soldering without baking. |
| Green, RoHS-compliant construction | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (UL 94V-0), <900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb - meets global environmental compliance mandates. |
| Wide operating temperature | -55°C to +150°C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive, industrial control, and outdoor electronics. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTA143FCA-7-F | R2 = 22kΩ (vs. 10kΩ), higher input impedance, lower base current (-1.8mA vs. -1.8mA at same VIN) | Better suited for ultra-low-power wake-up circuits where input loading must be minimized | Select when reducing MCU port current consumption is critical and slower switching is acceptable |
| DDTA143ZCA-7-F | R2 = 47kΩ, higher hFE = 80, but reduced IC(max) = -100mA remains unchanged | Improved gain for marginal drive conditions, but tighter input voltage window (-1.3V VIN(on)) | Prefer when driving heavier loads with weak base drive, but verify input logic compatibility |
Compared with DDTA143FCA-7-F and DDTA143ZCA-7-F, the DDTA143XCA-7 offers balanced input sensitivity (-2.5V), moderate gain (hFE = 30), and optimal R1/R2 ratio for general-purpose 3.3V/5V digital switching-making it the default choice for robust, production-ready interface designs.

FAQ
What is the marking code for DDTA143XCA-7 on the SOT23 package?
The top-side marking for DDTA143XCA-7 is "P09", followed by a two-character date code (e.g., "MD" for December 2025). This marking is laser-etched on the device surface and matches the ordering information table in DS30334 Rev. 8-2. The "P09" identifier is unique to this resistor ratio configuration and distinguishes it from other DDTA variants like P10 (DDTA143FCA-7-F) or P11 (DDTA143ZCA-7-F).
Can DDTA143XCA-7 replace a discrete PNP transistor plus two external resistors?
Yes-DDTA143XCA-7 directly replaces a PNP BJT (e.g., MMBT3906) plus 4.7kΩ and 10kΩ external bias resistors. Its internal R1/R2 network is trimmed during wafer fabrication to maintain ±20% ratio tolerance, ensuring consistent turn-on behavior across batches. Layout savings exceed 2.5mm² per instance, and thermal coupling between resistor and transistor improves stability versus discrete solutions.
Is DDTA143XCA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
DDTA143XCA-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation, but it is not pre-qualified to AEC-Q101 unless explicitly ordered with automotive suffixes (e.g., -7-G). For automotive use, Diodes recommends contacting their local representative to initiate qualification testing or select the AEC-Q101-qualified variant DDTA143XCAQ-7-F, which shares identical electrical specs and SOT23 packaging.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for DDTA143XCA-7 in switching applications?
The device has a gain-bandwidth product (fT) of 250MHz at VCE = -10V and IE = -5mA, but practical switching frequency is limited by stored charge and package parasitics. In typical digital on/off operation with 10kΩ load, rise/fall times are ~150ns, supporting reliable operation up to 2MHz. For >5MHz applications, consider dedicated high-speed switches or MOSFET alternatives due to BJT minority-carrier limitations.
