Product details
Overview
DDTB122LC-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP pre-biased transistor in SOT-23 package, featuring integrated 220 Ω and 10 kΩ bias resistors, −500 mA continuous collector current rating, −40 V VCEO, and −0.3 V VCE(sat) at −50 mA/−2.5 mA. It serves as an automotive-grade load switch or level translator in low-voltage DC control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDTB122LC-7-F datasheet, DDTB122LC-7-F pinout, DDTB122LC-7-F application, or DDTB122LC-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include verified R1/R2 resistor values, guaranteed VCE(sat) under industrial temperature range (−55 °C to +150 °C), SOT-23 thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive use cases.
Technical Context
This device integrates two precision on-die biasing resistors (R1 = 220 Ω, R2 = 10 kΩ) to configure base drive for predictable turn-on/turn-off behavior without external components. Its PNP topology enables high-side switching with logic-level input compatibility down to −2.0 V VI(on).
Designed for discrete logic interface and power control, it operates with guaranteed hFE ≥ 100 at −5 mA/−5 V and supports fT = 200 MHz for moderate-speed switching. The SOT-23 package delivers 200 mW power dissipation under standard FR4 layout per Diodes' recommended pad pattern.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −40 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration |
| IC (max) | −500 mA - Continuous collector current handling capacity for sustained load switching |
| VCE(sat) | −0.3 V @ −50 mA/−2.5 mA - Low saturation voltage ensures minimal conduction loss in power path |
| R1 / R2 | 220 Ω / 10 kΩ - Integrated bias network eliminates external resistors and reduces PCB footprint |
| PD | 200 mW - Power dissipation limit on standard FR4 board, defining thermal derating envelope |
| TJ Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - Full operational junction temperature range validated for automotive under-hood use |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23 - Surface-mount plastic package with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, moisture sensitivity level 1, and matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 (Base) | Input control node | Internally connected to R1–R2 divider junction; accepts logic-level input for direct microcontroller interfacing |
| 3 (Collector) | Output current path | Switched output terminal; sinks current when biased, enabling load connection to ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias network | Matched 220 Ω + 10 kΩ resistor pair eliminates external component count and layout uncertainty |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTB122TC-7-F | Same package and bias resistors, but open-collector emitter configuration (no R2); requires external pull-up | Limited to low-side switching or open-drain logic interfaces | Select only if external emitter termination is acceptable and board space allows added resistor |
| NSV12201T1G | AEC-Q101 qualified PNP pre-biased transistor with R1 = 220 Ω, R2 = 4.7 kΩ; slightly lower VCEO (−30 V) | Lower voltage margin limits use in 24 V systems with transients | Prefer for cost-sensitive 12 V-only designs where 4.7 kΩ base pull-down provides faster turn-off |
Compared with DDTB122TC-7-F, DDTB122LC-7-F offers complete internal biasing for true three-terminal operation; versus NSV12201T1G, it delivers higher voltage ruggedness and tighter VCE(sat) consistency across temperature, critical for safety-critical actuation.

FAQ
Is DDTB122LC-7-F still in active production?
No - Diodes Incorporated has marked DDTB122LC-7-F as obsolete per DS30403 Rev. 7 (June 2021). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers engineering support for last-time buy and obsolescence mitigation planning.
What is the exact pin 2 connection inside the die?
Pin 2 (base) connects internally to the junction of the 220 Ω (R1) and 10 kΩ (R2) resistors. R1 links to pin 3 (collector), and R2 links to pin 1 (emitter), forming a classic voltage-divider bias network for stable PNP turn-on.
Can DDTB122LC-7-F replace a standard PNP transistor like MMBT3906?
Only with circuit redesign: DDTB122LC-7-F includes built-in bias resistors and is optimized for direct logic-level drive, whereas MMBT3906 requires external base resistors. Substitution without adjusting surrounding components will cause incorrect biasing and potential saturation failure.
Does this part meet AEC-Q101 requirements?
Yes - Diodes specifies that DDTB122LC-7-F is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications, with testing performed in IATF 16949 certified facilities. Full qualification report documentation is available upon request for PPAP submission.
