Product details
Overview
FMMT593TA 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, and low -300mV VCE(sat) at -500mA/-50mA drive, enabling efficient power control in motor drives and industrial power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the FMMT593TA datasheet, FMMT593TA pinout, FMMT593TA application, or FMMT593TA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified high-voltage blocking (-100V VCEO), robust pulse capability (-2A ICM), thermal performance (RθJA = 250°C/W), and complementary pairing with FMMT493 for push-pull designs.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in linear and saturated switching modes, with hFE maintained at ≥100 up to -1A collector current and VCE = -5V. Its -120V VCBO rating supports high-impedance collector node isolation in off-state configurations.
The device uses a planar epitaxial structure with optimized base doping and geometry to achieve stable gain across temperature and current range, while its SOT23 (Type DN) leadframe design ensures reliable thermal conduction to PCB copper and consistent solder joint integrity under reflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -100 V - Enables safe operation in 80V rail systems with 25% voltage margin |
| IC (cont.) | -1 A - Supports sustained load currents up to 1A without derating on 15×15mm FR4 |
| VCE(sat) | -300 mV @ -500mA/-50mA - Limits conduction loss to ≤150mW in saturated switch mode |
| hFE | 100–300 @ -1mA to -1A - Ensures predictable base drive requirements across full operating range |
| fT | 50 MHz - Supports switching frequencies up to ~5MHz with acceptable gain roll-off |
| RθJA | 250 °C/W - Requires minimum 15×15mm 1oz copper pad for full 500mW power dissipation |
| PD | 500 mW - Maximum steady-state power at TA = +25°C with specified PCB layout |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (Type DN), surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, weight ≈ 0.008 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | E | Current source terminal; connects to positive supply rail in high-side switch configuration |
| 2 (Base) | B | Control input; requires negative bias relative to emitter to turn on PNP device |
| 3 (Collector) | C | Output terminal; sinks load current to ground or lower potential node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High voltage blocking | VCEO = -100V enables use in 72–80V industrial bus systems with safety margin |
| Low saturation voltage | VCE(sat) ≤ -300mV reduces conduction loss and self-heating in DC load switching |
| Stable current gain | hFE ≥ 100 at -1A ensures predictable base drive sizing across production lots |
| Complementary pairing | FMMT493 NPN counterpart allows matched push-pull or H-bridge implementation |
Applications
| High-Side Drivers | Load Disconnect Switches |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Controlling power delivery to downstream modules in automotive body control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP transistor configured as high-side switch, sourcing current from battery rail to load. Use Value: -100V VCEO withstands load dump transients; -300mV VCE(sat) minimizes voltage drop during active conduction. | Use Scenario: Isolating auxiliary circuits (e.g., sensors, LEDs) during system sleep mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete PNP switch enabling controlled power gating with fast turn-off via base pull-up. Use Value: Low leakage (< -100nA ICES) prevents standby current drain; SOT23 footprint saves board space. |
| Motor Drives | Industrial Power Management |
Use Scenario: Driving small DC motors (e.g., fans, actuators) in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-ended switch in half-bridge topology, handling bidirectional current during PWM commutation. Use Value: -2A ICM supports motor stall current surges; fT = 50MHz allows clean PWM edge response. | Use Scenario: Regulating auxiliary 5V/3.3V rails in telecom power supplies using discrete linear regulators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pass element in emitter-follower configuration, dissipating up to 500mW continuously. Use Value: RθJA = 250°C/W permits thermal design with standard FR4 layout; hFE stability simplifies feedback loop compensation. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTN25050DFHTA | VCEO = -50V, IC = -1.5A, SOT23 package, higher hFE (200–400) | Limited to ≤40V systems; better for high-gain, low-drive applications | Select when lower base current and reduced drive complexity outweigh voltage margin needs |
| MMBT5401 | VCEO = -60V, IC = -0.6A, SOT23 package, lower cost, wider availability | Not suitable for 72V+ rails; insufficient for 1A continuous loads | Choose only for ≤48V, <500mA applications where cost and stock priority exceed voltage headroom |
Compared with ZXTN25050DFHTA and MMBT5401, FMMT593TA uniquely balances -100V blocking, -1A continuous current, and SOT23 form factor-making it the only option among the three qualified for 80V industrial bus switching with minimal PCB area.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for FMMT593TA in continuous DC applications?
The absolute maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) is -100V at TA = +25°C. For reliable long-term operation, design should limit steady-state VCE to ≤ -80V to maintain margin against transients, temperature drift, and process variation. Derating is required above +25°C ambient per the published thermal curve.
Can FMMT593TA be used as a direct replacement for MMBT5401 in existing designs?
No-FMMT593TA is not a drop-in replacement for MMBT5401 due to its higher -100V VCEO rating and -1A IC capability. While pin-compatible in SOT23, its higher voltage rating may alter bias network behavior, and its higher current capacity requires verification of PCB trace ratings and thermal relief design.
What is the recommended base resistor value for switching a 500mA load at 12V supply?
With VBE(sat) ≈ -1.1V and hFE ≥ 100 at -500mA, a base current of -5mA is sufficient. Using a 12V control signal referenced to emitter, a 2.2kΩ resistor yields -5mA (accounting for -1.1V drop), ensuring hard saturation while limiting base power dissipation to <6mW.
Does FMMT593TA meet AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use?
FMMT593TA is not AEC-Q101 qualified per Diodes' official documentation. It is rated for industrial temperature range (-55°C to +150°C) and RoHS/Green compliance, but automotive-grade change control, PPAP, and IATF 16949 manufacturing require contacting Diodes directly for qualified variants such as FMMT593QTA.
