Product details
Overview
FMMT593QTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 100V PNP high-voltage transistor in SOT23 (Type DN) package, designed for high-side switching and load disconnect applications. It delivers -1A continuous collector current, -100V VCEO, low -200mV VCE(sat) at -250mA/-25mA drive, and robust hFE ≥100 up to -1A - enabling reliable operation in motor drive power stages.
For engineers reviewing the FMMT593QTA datasheet, FMMT593QTA pinout, FMMT593QTA application, or FMMT593QTA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified high-voltage blocking (-100V VCEO), pulsed current capability (-2A ICM), thermal resistance (RθJA = 250°C/W on 15×15mm FR4), and complementary pairing with FMMT493 for push-pull designs.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in linear or saturated switching mode with guaranteed breakdown ratings: VCBO = -120V, VCEO = -100V, and VEBO = -7V. Its fT = 50MHz supports moderate-speed switching in DC-DC and gate-drive circuits.
Electrical behavior is characterized by tight hFE consistency (100–300 across -1mA to -1A), low leakage (ICBO, IEBO, ICES ≤ -100nA), and defined saturation voltages: VCE(sat) = -300mV max at -500mA/-50mA, VBE(sat) = -1.1V at same conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -100V - Enables safe operation in 48V+ industrial bus and automotive battery-disconnect circuits |
| IC (cont.) | -1A - Supports sustained load currents in motor driver half-bridges and solenoid drivers |
| ICM | -2A - Allows short-duration surge handling during motor startup or fault recovery |
| VCE(sat) | -300mV max @ -500mA/-50mA - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-side switches |
| hFE | 100–300 @ -1mA to -1A - Ensures predictable base drive requirements across full operating range |
| fT | 50MHz - Supports PWM frequencies up to ~5MHz with acceptable gain margin |
| RθJA | 250°C/W - Requires thermal pad or copper pour for >300mW steady-state dissipation |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (Type DN), surface-mount, lead-free, halogen-free, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current source terminal | Connected to positive rail in high-side switch configuration; must handle full load current |
| 2 (Base) | Control input | Receives negative drive current to turn on; requires current-limiting resistor for logic-level control |
| 3 (Collector) | Output/switching node | Connected to load; voltage swings from near ground to -100V during off-state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High VCEO rating | -100V enables use in 48V, 60V, and 72V industrial power systems without derating |
| Low VCE(sat) | -200mV typical at -250mA ensures <50mW conduction loss in compact PCB layouts |
| Stable hFE vs. IC | hFE ≥100 maintained up to -1A, simplifying base drive design for consistent saturation |
| Complementary NPN pair | FMMT493 shares identical SOT23 footprint and matching specs for push-pull output stages |
| AEC-Q101 readiness | Manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities; PPAP-capable for automotive-grade qualification paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-voltage transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX951 | VCEO = -100V, IC = -1A, but hFE min = 60 @ -1A - lower current gain consistency | Less suitable for precision base-driven loads where hFE variation impacts regulation accuracy | Prefer FMMT593QTA when stable hFE across full IC range is required |
| MMBT5401 | VCEO = -60V, IC = -200mA - lower voltage and current ratings | Restricted to sub-24V systems; cannot replace in 48V+ high-side switch roles | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-power legacy designs with no voltage headroom requirement |
Compared with ZTX951 and MMBT5401, FMMT593QTA uniquely combines -100V blocking, -1A continuous current, and hFE ≥100 up to rated IC, making it the only option qualified for thermally constrained 48V industrial high-side switching without gain degradation.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for FMMT593QTA in continuous DC applications?
The absolute maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) is -100V at TA = +25°C. For reliable long-term operation, Diodes recommends limiting VCE to ≤ -80V under continuous DC conditions to maintain margin against temperature-induced drift and transient spikes, especially when mounted on standard FR4 without thermal enhancement.
Can FMMT593QTA be used as a direct replacement for FMMT591 in existing designs?
No - FMMT591 has VCEO = -60V and IC = -500mA, while FMMT593QTA is rated for -100V and -1A. Substituting without circuit review risks overvoltage failure and excessive power dissipation; layout and base drive must be re-verified for higher current and voltage margins.
Does FMMT593QTA require a heatsink in typical SOT23 mounting configurations?
Not for ≤300mW steady-state dissipation. With RθJA = 250°C/W on 15×15mm FR4, 300mW yields ~75°C junction rise above ambient. Heatsinking is unnecessary below this threshold, but thermal vias and copper pour are recommended for sustained >500mW operation or ambient temperatures exceeding +70°C.
Is the FMMT593QTA marking code "593" sufficient for full traceability and lot identification?
Yes - "593" is the product type code per Diodes' marking standard. Full traceability requires the full reel label or top-side date/lot code (e.g., "YYWWL" format). Diodes provides full lot documentation upon request, including wafer fab location, test data, and RoHS compliance certificates for each shipment.
