Product details
Overview
DDTC122LU-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an NPN pre-biased digital transistor in SOT-323 package, featuring integrated 220 Ω and 10 kΩ bias resistors (R1/R2), 100 mA output current capability, 50 V VCEO, and 200 MHz fT. It functions as a single-stage logic-level switch in low-power interface circuits, commonly used in LED driver control and microcontroller I/O buffering.
For engineers reviewing the DDTC122LU-7 datasheet, DDTC122LU-7 pinout, DDTC122LU-7 application, or DDTC122LU-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage thresholds (VIN(OFF) = 0.3 V, VIN(ON) = 2.0 V), saturation voltage (VCE(sat) ≤ 0.3 V at 5 mA/0.25 mA), DC current gain (hFE = 56 typ), thermal resistance (RθJA = 625 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant green packaging.
Technical Context
This device integrates base-emitter and base-collector biasing resistors to eliminate external components in simple switching applications. Its epitaxial planar construction ensures stable gain and low leakage across -55°C to +150°C operating range.
The transistor operates with defined logic-compatible input thresholds and delivers predictable saturation behavior under 5 mA collector load with 0.25 mA base drive. Its 200 MHz fT supports moderate-speed digital switching but is not intended for RF amplification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 40 V - Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; sets upper rail limit for 3.3 V/5 V logic interfacing |
| IC(max) | 100 mA - Continuous collector current rating; supports driving small LEDs or logic gates directly |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.3 V @ IC/IB = 5 mA/0.25 mA - Ensures minimal power loss and voltage drop in saturated switch mode |
| hFE | 56 typ - Confirmed DC current gain at 1 mA IC, 5 V VCE; enables reliable bias network design |
| fT | 200 MHz - Gain-bandwidth product; validates suitability for <10 MHz digital signal switching |
| RθJA | 625 °C/W - Thermal resistance on FR4 board; requires derating above 25°C ambient per Fig. 1 |
| PD | 200 mW - Max power dissipation at 25°C; limits continuous duty-cycle in high-current operation |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-323 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic package (2.0 × 1.25 × 0.95 mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, lead-free matte tin plating, UL 94V-0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Emitter terminal | Reference node for bias network; connects to ground or low-side return path |
| 2 (Base) | Input node with internal R1/R2 | Accepts logic-level input; internal 220 Ω–10 kΩ resistor divider sets turn-on threshold |
| 3 (Collector) | Output node | Drives load between VCC and collector; sinks up to 100 mA when saturated |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias resistors | 220 Ω (R1) and 10 kΩ (R2) reduce BOM count and layout area in discrete switch designs |
| Green molding compound | Halogen- and antimony-free formulation (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) meets automotive and industrial environmental mandates |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤0.3 V ensures <150 µW static loss at 5 mA, critical for battery-powered sensor nodes |
| AEC-Q101 readiness | Manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities; PPAP-capable upon request for automotive qualification |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No floor life limitation or bake requirement prior to reflow, simplifying SMT assembly planning |
Applications
| LED Driver Interface | Microcontroller I/O Buffer |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 20 mA indicator LEDs from 3.3 V GPIO pins without external resistors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-stage current-sinking switch with built-in base bias network.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN pre-biased transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTC114YU-7-F | Higher R1 (10 kΩ), lower hFE (35 typ), same SOT-323 package | Better suited for higher-impedance logic inputs; reduced gain requires larger base drive | Select when interfacing with high-Z CMOS outputs where lower base current is preferred |
| NSVD122DXV6T1G | Same R1/R2 values, AEC-Q101 qualified, tighter VIN(OFF) spec (0.25 V max) | Approved for automotive under-hood use; validated for PPAP and extended temperature cycling | Choose for production automotive systems requiring formal qualification documentation |
Compared with DDTC122LU-7, DDTC114YU-7-F offers higher input impedance but lower gain, while NSVD122DXV6T1G provides identical electrical behavior with certified automotive reliability-making it suitable for safety-critical deployments where qualification traceability is mandatory.

FAQ
Is DDTC122LU-7 still in active production?
No-DDTC122LU-7 is officially obsolete per Diodes' DS30401 Rev. 7-4 (June 2021). Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers cross-reference support, including verified alternatives like NSVD122DXV6T1G and engineering guidance for redesign.
What is the exact pin configuration for DDTC122LU-7 in SOT-323?
Pin 1 is Emitter, Pin 2 is Base (with internal R1/R2), and Pin 3 is Collector-confirmed by the schematic diagram on page 2 of DS30401. The device uses standard SOT-323 orientation with marking dot adjacent to Pin 1.
Can DDTC122LU-7 replace a standard 2N3904 in logic switching applications?
Yes, but only with circuit modification: DDTC122LU-7 integrates base bias resistors, so external base resistors must be removed. Its VIN(ON) = 2.0 V and VCE(sat) ≤ 0.3 V provide more predictable turn-on than discrete 2N3904 + resistor combinations in 3.3 V systems.
Does DDTC122LU-7 meet AEC-Q101 requirements?
DDTC122LU-7 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified, though it is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities. For automotive applications, Diodes recommends NSVD122DXV6T1G-a functionally identical part with full AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP documentation support.
