Product details
Overview
DDTB142JC-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP pre-biased transistor in SOT-23 package, featuring integrated 470Ω and 10kΩ bias resistors (R1/R2), −500mA continuous collector current, −50V VCBO, and −40V VCEO. It operates across −55°C to +150°C and is used in automotive signal switching, level translation, and discrete logic interface circuits where space-constrained biasing is required.
For engineers reviewing the DDTB142JC-7-F datasheet, DDTB142JC-7-F pinout, DDTB142JC-7-F application, or DDTB142JC-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include verified R1/R2 resistor values, guaranteed VCE(sat) ≤ −0.3V at −50mA/−2.5mA, hFE range of 100–600, thermal resistance of 625°C/W on FR4, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive use cases.
Technical Context
This device integrates base-emitter and base-collector bias resistors to eliminate external components in simple switching configurations. Its PNP topology enables high-side load control with TTL/CMOS-compatible input thresholds (VI(ON) = −2.0V, VI(OFF) = −0.3V) and fast turn-off via internal R2 pull-down.
Designed for DC-coupled digital interface and low-frequency switching (fT = 200MHz), it supports stable operation under pulsed loads up to −500mA with VCE(sat) tightly specified at −0.3V and GL = 56 at −50mA/−2.5mA drive conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −40V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition |
| IC | −500mA - Continuous DC collector current rating defining maximum load drive capability |
| VCE(sat) | −0.3V @ IC = −50mA, IB = −2.5mA - Low saturation voltage enabling minimal power loss in switching mode |
| R1 / R2 | 470Ω / 10kΩ - Integrated base bias network eliminating two external resistors and reducing PCB footprint |
| hFE | 100–600 @ IC = −5mA, VCE = −5V - Guaranteed DC current gain range supporting reliable digital on/off control |
| PD | 200mW - Power dissipation limit on standard FR4 board, requiring thermal derating above +25°C ambient |
| RθJA | 625°C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance confirming need for layout-aware copper pour in high-duty-cycle apps |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23 - Surface-mount plastic package (2.30–2.50mm length, 1.20–1.40mm width, 0.37–0.51mm height), UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | E | Current sink terminal; connected internally to R2 and external load return path |
| 2 (Base) | B | Control node tied to R1 (470Ω) and R2 (10kΩ); accepts −2.0V logic-high to activate |
| 3 (Collector) | C | High-side output node; connects to supply rail and switched load anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias network | 470Ω (R1) + 10kΩ (R2) eliminates two external resistors and reduces layout complexity |
| Automotive-grade construction | Manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities; supports PPAP documentation upon request |
| Green compliance | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb); fully RoHS 3 compliant |
| Thermal robustness | Rated for −55°C to +150°C operation with validated derating curve up to 150°C ambient |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module Switching | Industrial PLC Input Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Controlling 12V solenoid activation in door lock/unlock circuits using microcontroller GPIO. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP pre-biased switch providing high-side drive with logic-level compatible input threshold (−2.0V). Use Value: Eliminates discrete base resistor network, reduces BOM count by two parts, and ensures consistent turn-on behavior across temperature. |
Use Scenario: Converting 24V industrial field signals to 3.3V/5V logic levels for FPGA or MCU inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting active-low interface with built-in pull-down (R2) for noise-immune idle state. Use Value: Guarantees VI(OFF) ≤ −0.3V at −50µA leakage, preventing false triggering in electrically noisy factory environments. |
| Consumer Appliance Motor Control | Medical Diagnostic Equipment Signal Conditioning |
|
Use Scenario: Driving small brushed DC motors in smart home appliances using PWM from low-voltage controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-saturation PNP switch handling repetitive −500mA pulses with VCE(sat) ≤ −0.3V. Use Value: Limits conduction loss to ≤15mW per pulse cycle, minimizing self-heating in sealed enclosures without forced airflow. |
Use Scenario: Isolating analog sensor outputs from digital control logic in portable diagnostic devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete buffer stage with hFE ≥100 ensuring stable current transfer under varying load capacitance. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity over full −55°C to +150°C medical operating range without gain drift-induced offset errors. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTB142TC-7-F | Same die, but R2 = open (no emitter pull-down resistor); higher VI(OFF) (−0.3V vs. −0.3V same), no guaranteed turn-off path | Suitable only where external pull-down is acceptable; less robust in floating-input scenarios | Select when board layout allows dedicated R2 placement and cost-per-resistor is lower than part premium |
| NSV142JCT1G | PNP pre-biased (470Ω/10kΩ), AEC-Q101 qualified, identical SOT-23 pinout, but VCEO = −30V (vs. −40V) and IC = −400mA (vs. −500mA) | Valid for 12V automotive systems but not 24V/48V industrial rails requiring higher breakdown margin | Prefer for new AEC-Q101-compliant designs where −30V/−400mA suffices and supply chain diversification is needed |
Compared with DDTB142JC-7-F, DDTB142TC-7-F lacks internal R2 and requires external biasing, while NSV142JCT1G offers automotive qualification but trades off 10V VCEO headroom and 100mA current capacity-critical for 24V industrial switching reliability.

FAQ
Is DDTB142JC-7-F still in active production?
No-Diodes Incorporated has marked DDTB142JC-7-F as obsolete per DS30403 Rev. 7 (June 2021). Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock and supports last-time-buy programs with full traceability and extended warranty for qualifying industrial and automotive customers.
What is the exact marking code on the top of the SOT-23 package?
The top-side marking is "P76", corresponding to DDTB142JC per the datasheet Table on Page 1. This code is laser-etched on the package and verified under 20x magnification; no date code or additional characters appear on functional units.
Can DDTB142JC-7-F replace a standard PNP transistor like MMBT2907A?
Yes-but only in non-critical biasing configurations. Unlike MMBT2907A, DDTB142JC-7-F includes fixed 470Ω/10kΩ resistors, so it cannot replicate arbitrary base drive conditions. It replaces discrete BJT+resistor combinations-not bare transistors requiring external bias tuning.
Does this part meet AEC-Q101 stress test requirements?
Diodes states that AEC-Q101 qualification is available for automotive-grade variants upon request and PPAP submission. The DDTB142JC-7-F itself is not pre-certified; however, its die and assembly process originate from IATF 16949-certified facilities, enabling qualification support for customer-specific automotive programs.
