Product details
Overview
FMMTH10TA from ON Semiconductor is an NPN silicon planar RF transistor in SOT-23 package, designed for high-frequency amplification up to 650 MHz. It delivers low noise figure (3–5 dB at 500 MHz), low capacitance (0.7 pF Ccb), and operates with VCEO = 25 V, IC = 25 mA, and Ptot = 330 mW - suitable for VHF/UHF RF amplifier stages in portable radios and wireless receivers.
For engineers reviewing the FMMTH10TA datasheet, FMMTH10TA pinout, FMMTH10TA application, or FMMTH10TA equivalent, key selection criteria include fT performance at 4 mA bias, noise figure under 500 MHz small-signal conditions, Ccb stability across VCB, VBE(on) consistency at IC = 4 mA, and thermal robustness across −55°C to +150°C junction range.
Technical Context
This RF transistor employs a planar epitaxial structure optimized for stable gain and low noise in narrowband VHF amplifiers. Its fT of 650 MHz and typical Crb of 0.45–0.65 pF enable predictable matching at 400–900 MHz bands when biased at IC = 4 mA, VCE = 10 V.
The device uses a three-terminal SOT-23 configuration with emitter-grounded topology. V(BR)CEO = 25 V and VCE(sat) ≤ 0.5 V at IC = 4 mA / IB = 0.4 mA support Class-A linear operation in low-power RF driver stages without thermal runaway risk.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| fT | 650 MHz - defines usable small-signal gain bandwidth limit for amplifier design at IC = 4 mA, VCE = 10 V |
| Ccb | 0.7 pF - sets input impedance and matching network Q at VCB = 10 V, critical for 500 MHz noise optimization |
| NF | 3–5 dB at 500 MHz - quantifies added noise in receiver front-end LNA applications with IC = 2 mA, VCE = 5 V |
| VCEO | 25 V - maximum safe collector-emitter voltage under open-base condition, limits supply rail headroom |
| hFE | 60 min at IC = 4 mA - ensures sufficient DC current gain for stable bias network design in fixed-gain stages |
| Ptot | 330 mW at Tamb = 25°C - constrains continuous RF output power in unheatsinked SOT-23 layouts |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package with gull-wing leads; standardized pin assignment per JEDEC TO-236AB. Thermal resistance RθJA ≈ 300°C/W enables operation up to +150°C junction temperature with minimal PCB copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current sink terminal | Connected to RF ground reference; lowest impedance path for bias return and signal common |
| 2 (Base) | Control input | DC bias and RF input node; requires series R/C network for stability due to low Crb |
| 3 (Collector) | Active output terminal | RF output and DC supply feed point; matched to 50 Ω via shunt capacitor or microstrip stub |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High transition frequency | fT = 650 MHz supports stable gain in 400–900 MHz receiver IF and RF amplifier stages |
| Low noise figure | NF = 3–5 dB at 500 MHz enables use in sensitive VHF front-ends without external LNA cascading |
| Low capacitance | Ccb = 0.7 pF minimizes Miller effect, easing input matching and improving reverse isolation |
| Robust breakdown ratings | VCEO = 25 V and VEBO = 3 V allow reliable operation in battery-powered 3.3–5 V RF systems |
| Thermal stability | Rated Tj = −55°C to +150°C supports automotive and industrial environments without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN RF transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRF901T1 | fT = 500 MHz, Ccb = 0.8 pF, NF = 4.5 dB @ 500 MHz | Lower gain-bandwidth product; higher capacitance reduces matching flexibility above 400 MHz | Prefer where lower cost and proven reliability in legacy VHF designs outweigh fT loss |
| BFR92A | fT = 700 MHz, Ccb = 0.5 pF, NF = 2.8 dB @ 500 MHz, VCEO = 20 V | Higher fT and lower NF but reduced breakdown margin limits 12 V supply compatibility | Choose for ultra-low-noise 500 MHz LNA where VCEO derating to 15 V is acceptable |
Compared with MRF901T1 and BFR92A, FMMTH10TA offers balanced fT/NF/Ccb trade-off with superior VCEO rating - ideal for new designs requiring 25 V headroom and stable 500 MHz performance without premium pricing.

FAQ
What is the recommended DC bias condition for optimal noise figure at 500 MHz?
Optimal noise figure (3–5 dB) is achieved at IC = 2 mA and VCE = 5 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Base bias must be stabilized with a resistive divider and bypass capacitor to minimize thermal drift and ensure repeatable NF across temperature.
Can FMMTH10TA be used in Class-C amplifier configurations?
No - FMMTH10TA is characterized and optimized for linear Class-A operation. Its hFE variation with current and lack of pulsed-ratings make it unsuitable for saturated switching or harmonic-rich Class-C topologies without extensive validation.
Is Spice model support available for circuit simulation?
Yes - ON Semiconductor provides verified SPICE parameter data for FMMTH10TA upon request through their technical support portal. The model includes temperature-dependent junction capacitances, transit time, and parasitic resistances validated against measured S-parameters.
How does the SOT-23 package affect thermal performance in continuous RF operation?
At 330 mW Ptot, the SOT-23 package achieves ~120°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-4 with 1 cm² copper pour. Derating to 200 mW is advised for ambient > 70°C to maintain Tj < 125°C in sustained RF output.
