Product details
Overview
DDTA143ZCA-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 50V PNP pre-biased transistor in SOT23 package, featuring integrated R1 = 4.7kΩ and R2 = 47kΩ bias resistors, DC current gain (hFE) of 80 at IC = −10mA, VCE(sat) ≤ −0.3V, and −100mA maximum output current - used for digital switching in automotive body control modules and industrial I/O interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDTA143ZCA-7-F datasheet, DDTA143ZCA-7-F pinout, DDTA143ZCA-7-F application, or DDTA143ZCA-7-F equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT23 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in level-shifting and load switching, and two functionally comparable alternatives with documented resistor ratio and gain differences.
Technical Context
This device integrates a PNP bipolar junction transistor with two monolithically embedded bias resistors (R1 = 4.7kΩ, R2 = 47kΩ) to enable single-resistor drive logic-level input operation. It operates as a saturated switch with guaranteed turn-on at VIN ≤ −1.3V (IOUT = −5mA), and maintains VOUT(on) ≤ −0.3V under load.
The SOT23 package supports automated placement and reflow, with thermal resistance RθJA = 625°C/W on FR4 board and power dissipation limited to 200mW. Its −55°C to +150°C operating range meets industrial and automotive ambient requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50V - maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24V automotive supply rails with margin. |
| IC(max) | −100mA - absolute max continuous collector current; suitable for driving LEDs, relays, or small solenoids. |
| hFE | 80 (min) at VCE = −5V, IC = −10mA - ensures reliable saturation with low base drive current. |
| R1 / R2 | 4.7kΩ / 47kΩ - fixed internal bias network enabling direct TTL/CMOS logic interface without external resistors. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −0.3V at IC = −5mA, IB = −0.25mA - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in switching applications. |
| PD | 200mW - maximum power dissipation on standard FR4 PCB; defines thermal derating envelope for sustained operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic package (2.9mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Emitter terminal of PNP transistor | Connected to higher potential rail (e.g., +12V); current flows out of this pin during conduction. |
| 2 (Base) | Input node tied to R1–R2 junction | Accepts logic-level input; internal resistive divider sets base current automatically when driven low. |
| 3 (Collector) | Collector terminal of PNP transistor | Connected to load; sinks current when transistor is ON; referenced to system ground or lower potential. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias network | R1 = 4.7kΩ, R2 = 47kΩ - eliminates need for external base resistors, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| SOT23 footprint | Standardized 3-pin package - compatible with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering processes. |
| Automotive-grade construction | AEC-Q101 qualified option available - supports temperature-critical applications like door module actuators and lamp drivers. |
| Green compliance | Halogen- and antimony-free, RoHS 3 compliant - meets global environmental regulations without performance trade-offs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTA123JCA-7-F | R1 = 2.2kΩ, R2 = 47kΩ; hFE = 80 min; VIN(on) = −1.1V @ −5mA | Lower input threshold enables use with weaker drive sources (e.g., open-drain I²C buffers) | Select when interfacing to low-drive-strength logic or requiring faster turn-on at marginal input voltages. |
| DDTA114YCA-7-F | R1 = 10kΩ, R2 = 47kΩ; hFE = 68 min; VIN(on) = −1.4V @ −1mA | Higher R1 reduces base current draw; optimized for ultra-low-power wake-up circuits | Select for battery-powered subsystems where input leakage must be <1μA and switching frequency is <10Hz. |
Compared with DDTA143ZCA-7-F, DDTA123JCA-7-F offers lower input turn-on voltage but higher base current consumption, while DDTA114YCA-7-F trades gain and speed for minimal input loading - choice depends on drive strength, power budget, and signal integrity requirements.

FAQ
What is the marking code for DDTA143ZCA-7-F on the SOT23 package?
The top-side marking for DDTA143ZCA-7-F is "P11", followed by a two-character date code (e.g., "M5" for May 2025). This matches the ordering information table in DS30334 Rev. 8-2, confirming traceability to Diodes' standardized SOT23 laser-marking scheme.
Can DDTA143ZCA-7-F replace a discrete PNP transistor plus two external resistors?
Yes - it replaces a standard PNP BJT (e.g., MMBT3906) plus 4.7kΩ and 47kΩ base bias resistors. The integrated R1–R2 network provides identical biasing behavior, with verified VIN(on) = −1.3V and IB = −0.25mA at IC = −5mA, eliminating layout variability and solder joint reliability risks.
Is DDTA143ZCA-7-F qualified for automotive applications?
While the base DDTA143ZCA-7-F is not AEC-Q101 certified, Diodes offers an automotive-grade variant (DDTA143ZCAQ-7-F) with PPAP documentation, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and full AEC-Q101 stress testing - contact Diodes or Aetrix for qualification status and change control support.
What is the thermal derating behavior above +25°C ambient?
Power dissipation must be linearly derated above +25°C at 0.32mW/°C (based on RθJA = 625°C/W). At +85°C ambient, maximum allowable PD drops to 128mW; at +125°C, it falls to 64mW - consistent with JEDEC J-STD-020 guidelines for SOT23 packages on standard FR4.
