Product details
Overview
NSVT856MTWFTBG from onsemi is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor rated for −65 V VCEO, −100 mA continuous collector current, and 100 MHz transition frequency (fT). Housed in an ultra-compact XDFNW3 (1.00 × 1.00 × 0.38 mm) wettable-flank package, it supports automotive-grade optical inspection and low-power surface-mount amplifier applications where board space and reliability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the NSVT856MTWFTBG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include its AEC-Q101 qualification, −0.25 V VCE(sat) at −10 mA/−0.5 mA, 220–450 hFE range, and thermal resistance of 191 °C/W - all validated under automotive temperature conditions (−55°C to +150°C).
Technical Context
This PNP transistor operates in linear amplification and switching modes with verified DC current gain (hFE) from 220 to 450 at −10 mA IC and −5.0 V VCE, and maintains stable performance across −55°C to +150°C junction temperature. Its fT of 100 MHz enables use in medium-frequency signal conditioning circuits.
The device features low saturation voltages (VCE(sat) = −0.25 V max at −10 mA/−0.5 mA; −0.60 V max at −100 mA/−5.0 mA) and tight base-emitter turn-on voltage (VBE(on) = −0.6 to −0.82 V), supporting precise biasing in compact analog front-ends and sensor interface stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −65 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter reverse voltage before breakdown in open-base configuration. |
| IC (continuous) | −100 mA - Continuous collector current rating defining maximum steady-state load drive capability. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Transition frequency indicating usable bandwidth for small-signal amplification. |
| hFE | 220–450 - DC current gain range enabling predictable bias design across production lots and temperatures. |
| VCE(sat) | −0.25 V (typ.) at −10 mA/−0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage reduces power loss and heat generation in switching applications. |
| RJA | 191 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance measured per JESD51-7 on standard PCB, guiding heatsinking requirements. |
| PD | 650 mW - Maximum power dissipation at 25°C ambient, limiting usable output swing in linear operation. |
Pinout & Package
NSVT856MTWFTBG uses the XDFNW3 (Case 521AC) 3-terminal ultra-small-outline package measuring 1.00 × 1.00 × 0.38 mm with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. The package has no exposed die pad; all terminals are solderable edge pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control terminal for forward-biased PNP operation; requires negative bias relative to emitter to enable conduction. |
| 2 | Emitter | Current source terminal in PNP configuration; connected to higher potential rail in typical common-emitter amplifier layouts. |
| 3 | Collector | Current sink terminal; connects to load or next stage input, with voltage swing limited by −65 V VCEO rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wettable flank package | Enables 100% automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints on automotive PCBs without X-ray. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics use including engine control modules and body electronics under stress testing. |
| Low VCE(sat) at high IC | −0.60 V max at −100 mA/−5.0 mA ensures minimal voltage drop and thermal rise in power-switching nodes. |
| High fT with low Cobo | 100 MHz fT and 1.8–4.0 pF Cobo support stable RF-coupled preamplifier stages up to ~50 MHz. |
| Pb-free, halogen-free | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709E, eliminating hazardous substances in final assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSVT857MTWFTBG | Higher VCEO (−80 V), same package and pinout; hFE min 150 at −10 mA. | Better suited for 48 V industrial bus interfaces requiring higher breakdown margin. | Select when system transients exceed −65 V but layout space and AOI requirements remain identical. |
| DMT3020LFG | Same XDFNW3 package; −100 mA IC, −60 V VCEO, but lower fT (80 MHz) and no AEC-Q101 certification. | Acceptable for non-automotive consumer applications where qualification is not required. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where full AEC-Q101 compliance is unnecessary. |
Compared with NSVT856MTWFTBG, NSVT857MTWFTBG offers enhanced voltage robustness without layout change, while DMT3020LFG provides functional equivalence at lower qualification cost - making the former ideal for upgraded automotive systems and the latter suitable for commercial-grade replacements where qualification overhead is prohibitive.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for NSVT856MTWFTBG?
The NSVT856MTWFTBG has a specified junction and storage temperature range of −65°C to +150°C. This rating is validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing and supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures with passive cooling. Thermal design must respect the 191 °C/W RJA value under JESD51-7 test conditions to avoid exceeding +150°C at the die.
Is NSVT856MTWFTBG pin-compatible with NSVT857MTWFTBG?
Yes, NSVT856MTWFTBG and NSVT857MTWFTBG share identical XDFNW3 package dimensions, pin assignment (Base–Emitter–Collector on pins 1–2–3), and marking layout. Both are AEC-Q101 qualified and wettable-flank enabled, allowing direct substitution where −80 V VCEO margin is required without PCB revision.
Does NSVT856MTWFTBG support lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, NSVT856MTWFTBG is Pb-free, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant, qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020. Its XDFNW3 package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 30 seconds, matching IPC/JEDEC specifications for SnAgCu soldering processes used in automotive and industrial manufacturing.
What is the typical noise figure of NSVT856MTWFTBG and at what conditions is it measured?
The NSVT856MTWFTBG has a typical noise figure of 1.0 dB, measured at IC = −0.2 mA, VCE = −5.0 V, source resistance RS = 2.0 kΩ, frequency = 1.0 kHz, and bandwidth = 200 Hz. This low-noise performance makes NSVT856MTWFTBG suitable for precision analog front-ends where signal integrity below 10 kHz is critical.
Can NSVT856MTWFTBG be used in switching applications above 10 MHz?
No - while NSVT856MTWFTBG has an fT of 100 MHz, its switching speed is limited by stored charge and minority-carrier lifetime. Measured turn-off time (toff) exceeds 100 ns at IC = −100 mA, making NSVT856MTWFTBG best suited for switching frequencies ≤1 MHz. For >5 MHz switching, consider RF-optimized transistors with shorter toff and lower Cobo.
