Product details
Overview
FMMT593TC 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 -200mV VCE(sat) at IC = -250mA/IB = -25mA, with hFE ≥ 100 up to -1A - enabling robust DC motor drive and industrial power control.
For engineers reviewing the FMMT593TC datasheet, FMMT593TC pinout, FMMT593TC application, or FMMT593TC equivalent, key selection criteria include verified high-voltage blocking (-100V VCEO), thermal performance (RθJA = 250°C/W on 15mm × 15mm FR4), saturation behavior under pulsed drive, and compatibility with standard SOT23 PCB layouts and reflow profiles.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in linear or saturated switching mode with guaranteed breakdown ratings: -120V VCBO, -100V VCEO, and -7V VEBO. Its hFE remains stable across IC = -1mA to -1A, supporting predictable base drive design in high-side configurations.
VCE(sat) is characterized under pulsed conditions (≤300µs, ≤2% duty cycle) at -200mV (IC = -250mA, IB = -25mA) and -300mV (IC = -500mA, IB = -50mA), while fT = 50MHz confirms usable gain-bandwidth for moderate-speed switching up to ~100kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -100V - supports high-side switching in 48V and 72V industrial bus systems without avalanche stress |
| IC (cont.) | -1A - enables direct driving of solenoids, relays, or small DC motors without external amplification |
| VCE(sat) | -200mV @ IC=-250mA/IB=-25mA - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in thermally constrained SOT23 layouts |
| hFE | 100–300 @ IC=-1mA to -1A - ensures reliable base current calculation across full operating range |
| RθJA | 250°C/W - defines maximum power dissipation (500mW) on standard 15mm×15mm FR4 with 1oz copper |
| fT | 50MHz - supports clean turn-off in PWM-controlled loads up to 100kHz with controlled rise/fall times |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (Type DN), surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, weight ≈ 0.008g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current source terminal for PNP operation | Connected to positive rail in high-side switch; requires low-impedance return path for base drive |
| 2 (Base) | Control input for minority-carrier injection | Driven negative relative to emitter; -25mA typical for full saturation at -250mA load |
| 3 (Collector) | Current sink terminal | Connected to load; voltage swing limited to -100V max relative to emitter under blocking condition |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High VCEO rating | -100V enables use in 48V/72V automotive and industrial power domains without derating |
| Low VCE(sat) | -200mV at moderate load reduces power loss and thermal stress in compact SOT23 footprint |
| Stable hFE vs. IC | hFE ≥ 100 up to -1A simplifies base resistor selection and improves drive margin |
| Lead-free & Halogen-free | RoHS 3 compliant with <900ppm Br/Cl and <1000ppm Sb - meets automotive and green electronics mandates |
Applications
| High-Side Drivers | Load Disconnect Switches |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Controlling power delivery to sensors or actuators in PLC I/O modules where supply rail is referenced to system ground. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP high-side switch turning on/off 24–48V loads using microcontroller GPIO with level-shifting circuitry. Use Value: -100V VCEO prevents breakdown during load dump transients; -200mV VCE(sat) limits resistive heating in confined board areas. | Use Scenario: Isolating backup battery or auxiliary power rail during fault conditions in telecom power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting disconnect element activated by supervisor IC or MCU during overvoltage or thermal shutdown. Use Value: 50MHz fT ensures sub-microsecond turn-off response; -2A ICM handles surge currents during hot-swap events. |
| Motor Drives | Industrial Power Control |

Use Value: -7V VEBO tolerance accommodates common-base biasing schemes; UL 94V-0 molding compound enhances fire safety compliance. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTN25050DFH | Higher VCEO (-120V), lower VCE(sat) (-150mV), but SOT89 package - larger footprint and higher thermal mass | Preferred where higher voltage margin and lower conduction loss justify larger board area and different thermal layout | Select when >100V blocking or <200mW conduction loss is critical; verify SOT89 pad compatibility and reflow profile |
| FMMT591TC | Same SOT23 package, but lower VCEO (-80V) and reduced IC (-600mA); complementary to FMMT491 | Suitable only for ≤40V systems; not drop-in for -100V requirements | Use only if voltage and current demands are relaxed; avoid in 48V+ applications due to insufficient VCEO margin |
Compared with ZXTN25050DFH and FMMT591TC, FMMT593TC uniquely balances -100V blocking, -1A current, SOT23 compactness, and RoHS 3 compliance - making it optimal for space-constrained 48V industrial controls requiring proven manufacturability and AEC-Q200-ready qualification path.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for FMMT593TC in continuous DC blocking?
The absolute maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) is -100V at TA = +25°C. Operation above this value risks avalanche breakdown and permanent damage. Derating is required above +25°C per the datasheet's thermal curve - e.g., VCEO drops to ~−85V at +100°C ambient. Always maintain ≥20% margin in production designs.
Can FMMT593TC be used in PWM motor control at 20kHz?
Yes - its 50MHz transition frequency (fT) and characterized VCE(sat) under pulsed conditions support clean switching at 20kHz. However, ensure base drive provides sufficient peak current (≥−50mA) and fast edge rates to minimize switching losses, and verify thermal performance with actual PCB copper area and airflow.
Is FMMT593TC qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
No - the datasheet states that AEC-Q101 qualification requires specific change control and PPAP capability, which must be requested separately from Diodes. Standard FMMT593TC is not automotive-qualified out-of-box, though its construction (lead-free, halogen-free, IATF 16949-manufactured) supports qualification pathways upon customer request.
How does the SOT23 (Type DN) package affect thermal performance in real-world layouts?
RθJA = 250°C/W is measured on a 15mm × 15mm FR4 board with 1oz copper. In smaller layouts (<10mm² copper), RθJA may exceed 350°C/W, limiting safe continuous power to <300mW. Use thermal vias under the collector pad and adjacent copper pours to improve heat spreading and sustain 500mW dissipation reliably.
