Product details
Overview
ECH8102-TL-H from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) optimized for high-current switching in power control circuits, featuring –30 V VCEO, –12 A IC, –135 mV VCE(sat) at –6 A/–300 mA, 140 MHz fT, and ECH8 surface-mount package. It is used in IGBT/MOSFET gate drivers and motor drivers requiring low saturation loss and fast turn-off.
For engineers reviewing the ECH8102-TL-H datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified VCE(sat) performance at high IC, guaranteed IECO reverse-flow blocking, thermal dissipation on ceramic substrate, and ECH8 footprint compatibility with high-power DC/DC converter layouts.
Technical Context
The ECH8102-TL-H employs FBET and MBIT process technology to achieve low VCE(sat) and high-speed switching with 91 ns turn-on and 17 ns fall time. Its IECO parameter ensures intrinsic emitter-collector reverse current blocking without external diodes.
Designed for operation up to 150 °C junction temperature, it delivers 1.6 W power dissipation when mounted on a 900 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic substrate and maintains hFE ≥100 at –10 A collector current under VCE = –2 V bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | –30 V - Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in high-side switch configurations |
| IC | –12 A - Continuous collector current rating; supports sustained load switching in motor and lamp driver stages |
| VCE(sat) | –135 mV @ –6 A/–300 mA - Low conduction loss enables >95% efficiency in high-current linear or saturated switching modes |
| fT | 140 MHz - Gain-bandwidth product enabling stable operation in gate drive amplifiers up to ~20 MHz switching frequencies |
| hFE | 100 @ –10 A - Sustained DC current gain at full rated current ensures reliable base drive sizing without overdesign |
| tf | 17 ns - Fast fall time minimizes switching transition losses in PWM-controlled power stages |
| IECO | –1 μA @ VEC = –4.5 V - Confirmed reverse emitter-collector leakage suppression eliminates need for external blocking diode |

Package: ECH8 - 8-pin, dual-emitter, quad-collector surface-mount plastic package with exposed thermal pad; dimensions 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm × 0.8 mm (typ), compatible with reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Emitter | Three parallel emitter terminals reduce bond wire inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt applications |
| 4 | Base | Single base connection optimized for low-impedance drive; requires ≤–1.2 A peak base current for full saturation |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Collector | Four parallel collector terminals enhance thermal spreading and reduce package inductance for fast switching stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | –135 mV at –6 A enables <0.8 W conduction loss, reducing heatsink requirements in compact motor drivers |

Applications
| IGBT Gate Driver Stage | DC/DC Converter Synchronous Rectifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving the gate of a 600 V IGBT in a 5 kW solar inverter half-bridge leg with 20 kHz PWM.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-current switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBT3906DW1T1G | SO-8 package, –100 mA IC, –40 V VCEO, no IECO guarantee | Signal-level logic inversion only; unsuitable for >1 A loads or motor drive | Select only for low-power bias networks where ECH8102-TL-H's current capacity is excessive |
| SSM2212RZ-REEL | SOIC-8, matched PNP pair, –15 mA IC, no VCE(sat) < –100 mV spec | Current mirror and precision analog use; lacks pulse current rating and thermal robustness | Choose only for differential amplifier biasing-not for power switching |
Compared with MBT3906DW1T1G and SSM2212RZ-REEL, the ECH8102-TL-H uniquely combines –12 A current handling, –135 mV saturation voltage, and IECO reverse blocking in a thermally enhanced ECH8 package-making it irreplaceable in high-power gate driving and motor control where both current density and reverse integrity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for the ECH8102-TL-H?
The ECH8102-TL-H has a maximum continuous collector current (IC) rating of –12 A at Ta = 25 °C when mounted on a 900 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic substrate. This rating assumes proper thermal management; derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the PC–Ta curve in the datasheet. The ECH8102-TL-H must not exceed this limit to maintain reliability and avoid junction overheating.
Does the ECH8102-TL-H require an external reverse-blocking diode in flyback applications?
No. The ECH8102-TL-H guarantees IECO ≤ –1 μA at VEC = –4.5 V, confirming intrinsic reverse emitter-to-collector blocking capability. This eliminates the need for an external diode in clamp or flyback circuits where reverse current flow could otherwise cause shoot-through or loss. The ECH8102-TL-H's IECO is a specified, tested parameter-not a typical value.
What is the recommended PCB land pattern for the ECH8102-TL-H ECH8 package?
The official onsemi land pattern for the ECH8102-TL-H specifies 0.65 mm pitch, 0.4 mm wide traces for pins 1–8, with a 2.3 mm × 2.8 mm thermal pad centered beneath the package body. Solder mask defined pads are recommended. The ECH8102-TL-H outline drawing (PS No. A1420-7/7) provides exact copper and paste stencil dimensions; deviation may impair thermal performance or solder joint reliability.
How does the ECH8102-TL-H's VCE(sat) perform at elevated temperature?
VCE(sat) for the ECH8102-TL-H increases with junction temperature: typical –135 mV at 25 °C rises to –165 mV at 125 °C (per IT14438/IT14440 curves). Designers must account for this 22% increase when calculating worst-case conduction loss in thermally constrained environments. The ECH8102-TL-H remains within specification up to Tj = 150 °C.
Is the ECH8102-TL-H suitable for automotive-grade applications?
The ECH8102-TL-H meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors and is halogen-free/Pb-free per RoHS. While not pre-qualified as AEC-Q101 certified in its standard marking, onsemi offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., ECH8102-TL-HG) with full qualification documentation. For production automotive use, confirm part status with onsemi's automotive product line before final design-in of the ECH8102-TL-H.
