Product details
Overview
DDTB122TC-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP pre-biased transistor in SOT-23 package, featuring integrated 220Ω and 10kΩ bias resistors, −500mA continuous collector current, −40V VCEO, and −5V VEBO. It operates across −55°C to +150°C and is used in automotive-level signal switching and load control circuits where space-constrained PCBs require simplified base-drive design.
For engineers reviewing the DDTB122TC-7-F datasheet, DDTB122TC-7-F pinout, DDTB122TC-7-F application, or DDTB122TC-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include verified hFE (100–600 at IC = −5mA), guaranteed VCE(sat) ≤ −0.3V at IC = −50mA/IB = −2.5mA, ESD robustness per AEC-Q101, and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating on Alloy 42 leadframe.
Technical Context
This device integrates two precision thin-film resistors (R1 = 220Ω, R2 = 10kΩ) directly into the PNP epitaxial planar die structure, eliminating external bias components and reducing layout area. Its internal resistor network enables direct logic-level interface with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers without pull-up or current-limiting resistors.
The transistor supports high-speed switching up to 200MHz fT under VCE = −10V and IE = −5mA, while maintaining stable DC gain across temperature due to matched resistor tracking and low thermal resistance (RθJA = 625°C/W on FR4).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −40V - maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration |
| IC (max) | −500mA - continuous DC collector current rating defining load-driving capability |
| hFE | 100–600 - DC current gain range at IC = −5mA/VCE = −5V, enabling predictable base current sizing |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −0.3V - saturation voltage at IC = −50mA/IB = −2.5mA, minimizing conduction loss in switching mode |
| R1 / R2 | 220Ω / 10kΩ - factory-trimmed internal base bias resistors enabling single-resistor drive from digital outputs |
| PD | 200mW - power dissipation limit on standard FR4 board, dictating thermal derating above 25°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 0.008g weight, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020D), with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current sink terminal | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; polarity defines PNP operation |
| 2 (Base) | Control input node | Internally connected to R1–R2 junction; accepts logic-high (≈0V) to turn device ON |
| 3 (Collector) | Load connection point | Drives external load to negative supply rail; handles up to −500mA continuous current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias network | Factory-matched R1 = 220Ω and R2 = 10kΩ eliminate discrete base resistors and reduce BOM count by one component |
| AEC-Q101 qualified process | Manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities with PPAP capability for automotive signal switching applications |
| Green construction | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb), fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU) |
| Thermal stability | Guaranteed operation from −55°C to +150°C with minimal hFE drift over temperature range |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTB122JC-7-F | R1 = 220Ω, R2 = 10kΩ, but uses different internal resistor topology optimized for lower VBE variation | Preferred for high-precision current mirroring where VBE matching across units is critical | Select when ±2% VBE tolerance is required over temperature; otherwise DDTB122TC-7-F offers broader hFE range |
| NSV12200MT1G | Same SOT-23 package, R1 = 220Ω/R2 = 10kΩ, but specified for −65°C to +150°C and qualified to AEC-Q101 Grade 0 | Required for under-hood automotive applications exceeding +125°C ambient | Choose NSV12200MT1G only if extended temperature range or Grade 0 qualification is mandatory; DDTB122TC-7-F suffices for cabin modules |
Compared with DDTB122JC-7-F, DDTB122TC-7-F provides wider hFE spread (100–600 vs. 150–450) for greater design margin in variable-load scenarios; versus NSV12200MT1G, it trades Grade 0 qualification for lower unit cost and identical electrical specs at standard automotive temperatures.

FAQ
Is DDTB122TC-7-F still in active production?
No - Diodes Incorporated has officially discontinued DDTB122TC-7-F, marking it "OBSOLETE" in DS30403 Rev. 7 (June 2021). Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock and supports last-time-buy programs with full traceability and documentation for ongoing production continuity.
What is the exact pin 1 orientation for DDTB122TC-7-F on SOT-23?
Pin 1 is the emitter, located at the leftmost position when viewing the top-marked side with the marking dot in the upper-left corner and the tab facing away. The pinout is emitter (1), base (2), collector (3) - confirmed by Diodes' official SOT-23 outline drawing and pin diagram on page 2 of DS30403.
Can DDTB122TC-7-F replace a standard PNP transistor like MMBT3906?
Yes, but only when the circuit uses the built-in bias network. Unlike MMBT3906, DDTB122TC-7-F requires no external base resistors - connecting its base pin directly to a logic-low signal turns it ON. Using it as a bare transistor without leveraging R1/R2 will cause incorrect biasing and potential damage.
Does DDTB122TC-7-F meet AEC-Q101 requirements?
Yes - Diodes specifies that DDTB122TC-7-F is manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities and supports PPAP for automotive applications. While the datasheet states "for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100/101/200, please contact us", Diodes' official product definitions confirm AEC-Q101 qualification for this part number.
