Product details
Overview
FMMT560QTA from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) rated for -500V collector-emitter voltage, -150mA continuous collector current, and AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive high-voltage switching applications such as ignition control and ECU load management.
For engineers reviewing the FMMT560QTA datasheet, FMMT560QTA pinout, FMMT560QTA application, or FMMT560QTA equivalent, key selection criteria include its -500V BVCEO, SOT23 package thermal resistance (RθJA = 250°C/W), hFE ≥100 at -1mA, VCE(sat) ≤ -500mV at -50mA/-10mA, and IATF16949 manufacturing compliance.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT operates in linear or saturated switching mode with guaranteed breakdown at -500V across both collector-base and collector-emitter terminals. Its hFE remains stable up to -100mA, supporting precise current amplification in feedback-controlled high-voltage circuits.
VCE(sat) of -200mV at -20mA/-2mA and -500mV at -50mA/-10mA enables low-loss switching in automotive power stages. The device's fT of 60MHz supports fast turn-on (ton = 110ns) and controlled turn-off (toff = 1.5µs) under -100V VCE conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VCEO | -500V - supports direct interface with 400V DC bus systems without external snubbing |
| Continuous Collector Current | -150mA - sufficient for driving automotive solenoids, fuel injectors, and relay coils |
| Peak Pulse Current ICM | -500mA - handles short-duration inductive kickback surges in ignition circuits |
| DC Current Gain hFE | 100–300 - ensures reliable base drive margin across -1mA to -100mA operating range |
| VCE(sat) | -500mV @ -50mA/-10mA - limits conduction loss to <25mW in saturated switch operation |
| Transition Frequency fT | 60MHz - enables use in high-speed PWM-driven loads up to ~5MHz fundamental frequency |
| ESD HBM Rating | 4000V - meets automotive assembly line ESD robustness requirements per JESD22-A114 |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic case (UL 94V-0), 0.008g weight, moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin-plated leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| E (Emitter) | Current source terminal | Connected to positive rail in high-side switch configuration; sets reference for base bias |
| B (Base) | Control input | Receives negative current to enable conduction; requires current-limiting resistor in series |
| C (Collector) | Switched output | Drives inductive load to ground; must observe creepage/clearance per HV design guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive temperature cycling (-55°C to +150°C), vibration, and lifetime reliability |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and "Green" definition (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) |
| High VCEO with low VCE(sat) | Enables compact high-voltage switching without trade-off between blocking capability and conduction loss |
| Stable hFE up to -100mA | Reduces need for gain-compensating feedback in analog amplifier or linear regulator designs |
| SOT23 thermal performance | RθJL = 194°C/W enables 500mW dissipation with minimal PCB copper area (15mm × 15mm 1oz) |
Applications
| Automotive Ignition Control | Industrial HV Power Switching |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-voltage pulse generation for spark plug firing in gasoline engine ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP high-side switch controlling primary coil current; turns off rapidly to induce secondary voltage spike.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX653 | VCEO = -300V, hFE = 100–300, SOT23 package | Limited to ≤300V systems; lower surge margin for ignition transients | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 200V headroom requirement |
| MMBT560 | VCEO = -500V but not AEC-Q101 qualified; hFE min = 60 | Not approved for automotive production; suitable only for industrial prototypes | Choose only for non-automotive designs where qualification is not mandated |
Compared with ZTX653 and MMBT560, FMMT560QTA uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, -500V rating, and guaranteed hFE ≥100 at -100mA-making it the sole option for production automotive high-voltage switching where reliability and specification margin are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for FMMT560QTA in continuous DC applications?
The absolute maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) is -500V at TA = +25°C. Derating applies above +25°C: linear reduction to -375V at +125°C per the datasheet derating curve. For continuous DC use, design must maintain ≥20% margin below rated VCEO to ensure long-term reliability under voltage transients.
Does FMMT560QTA require a heatsink in standard SOT23 PCB layout?
No heatsink is required for ≤300mW power dissipation. With RθJA = 250°C/W on a 15mm × 15mm 1oz FR4 copper pad, junction temperature rise is ≤75°C at 300mW-well within the -55°C to +150°C operating range. Thermal simulation is recommended if ambient exceeds +85°C or copper area is reduced.
How does the AEC-Q101 qualification impact FMMT560QTA's use in non-automotive applications?
AEC-Q101 qualification confirms enhanced robustness-including extended temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and HTOL testing-but does not restrict usage. In industrial or medical applications, it provides proven reliability margin and simplifies qualification effort, though PPAP documentation and change control processes apply only to automotive customers.
Can FMMT560QTA be used in linear amplifier configurations?
Yes-its hFE stability (100–300) across -1mA to -100mA and low VCE(sat) support Class-A or AB linear operation. However, power dissipation must remain ≤500mW with appropriate derating; thermal design is critical due to SOT23's limited heat-spreading capability in analog bias conditions.
