Product details

Overview

PBHV9115TLH-QR from Nexperia is a PNP high-voltage low-V_CEsat transistor in SOT23 package, rated for −150 V V_CEO, −1 A continuous collector current, and −300 mV typical V_CEsat at I_C = −500 mA / I_B = −100 mA. It serves as a robust switching element in automotive-grade power management and LED chain drivers where high breakdown voltage and low conduction loss are critical.

For engineers reviewing the PBHV9115TLH-QR datasheet, PBHV9115TLH-QR pinout, PBHV9115TLH-QR application, or PBHV9115TLH-QR equivalent, this device is selected for high-voltage PNP switching in space-constrained automotive modules requiring AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal reliability up to 150 °C junction temperature, and stable DC current gain (h_FE = 70–300) across −55 °C to +125 °C ambient.

Technical Context

This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates with open-base collector-emitter breakdown of −150 V and peak collector current capability of −2 A under 1 ms pulses. Its low saturation voltage enables efficient switching in high-side configurations where base drive is referenced to emitter potential.

The device features a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C, thermal resistance R_th(j-a) of 417 K/W on FR4 PCB, and AEC-Q101 qualification confirming suitability for automotive power control circuits including LCD backlighting and SMPS auxiliary rails.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	−150 V - Withstands 150 V reverse bias between collector and emitter with base open; enables use in 100 V+ supply rail switching.
I_C	−1 A - Continuous collector current rating; supports sustained load switching in LED driver and power management stages.
V_CEsat	−300 mV (typ.) at I_C = −500 mA / I_B = −100 mA - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during active switching.
h_FE	70–300 at V_CE = −10 V, I_C = −50 mA - Ensures reliable base-driven turn-on across industrial temperature range.
R_th(j-a)	417 K/W - Thermal resistance on standard FR4 PCB defines derating curve; usable up to ~125 °C ambient at full current.
AEC-Q101	Qualified - Confirmed stress-test compliance for automotive discrete semiconductors; supports under-hood and infotainment applications.

Pinout & Package

Package: SOT23 plastic surface-mounted package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm pin pitch), optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance on FR4 PCBs.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	Base (B)	Control terminal for forward-biased PNP operation; requires negative base current relative to emitter to saturate.
2	Emitter (E)	Current source terminal in PNP configuration; connected to higher potential rail in high-side switch topologies.
3	Collector (C)	Current sink terminal; connects to load and ground or lower-potential node; withstands −150 V reverse bias.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
High-voltage blocking	−150 V V_CEO enables direct interface with 100 V+ battery-derived rails in automotive subsystems.
Low V_CEsat	−300 mV typical at 500 mA reduces power dissipation by >50% vs. standard PNP transistors in same package.
AEC-Q101 qualification	Validated for automotive use per stress-test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling.
Thermal robustness	150 °C max junction temperature and defined derating curve support operation in engine bay and headlamp modules.

Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP transistor configured as saturated switch controlling current flow from battery rail to resistive or inductive load.

Use Value: −150 V V_CEO accommodates load-dump transients; −300 mV V_CEsat limits heat generation without heatsinking.

Use Scenario: Constant-current regulation for multi-string LED backlights in instrument clusters and center displays.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear or PWM-controlled current sink in series with LED string, driven by microcontroller GPIO.

Use Value: Stable h_FE over temperature ensures consistent current setting; AEC-Q101 ensures long-term reliability in display assemblies.

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
PBHV8115TLH-Q	NPN complement with identical voltage/current ratings and AEC-Q101 qualification; not electrically interchangeable due to polarity reversal.	Requires inverted control logic and reversed PCB layout; suitable only when NPN topology is preferred in same system.	Select only if circuit architecture mandates NPN high-side or low-side switching with matching specs.
BC807-40,215	Lower V_CEO (−45 V), lower I_C (−500 mA), no AEC-Q101 qualification; h_FE range narrower (250–630).	Restricted to non-automotive 24 V systems; unsuitable for load dump or high-temp under-hood use.	Consider only for cost-sensitive industrial or consumer designs where −150 V rating and automotive qualification are unnecessary.

Compared with PBHV8115TLH-Q, the PBHV9115TLH-QR provides complementary PNP functionality with identical automotive qualification but opposite polarity-requiring redesign of base drive and layout. Versus BC807-40, it delivers triple the voltage rating and guaranteed automotive reliability at modest cost premium.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?

The absolute maximum peak base current is −400 mA per datasheet limiting values, but continuous operation must respect the total power dissipation limit of 300 mW at T_amb ≤ 25 °C. At I_C = −1 A and h_FE = 10 (minimum at full current), required I_B ≈ −100 mA - well within safe continuous range when thermal design accounts for PCB copper area and ambient conditions.

Can PBHV9115TLH-QR be used in linear regulator applications?

Yes, but with strict thermal constraints: its V_CEsat is optimized for switching, not linear operation. In linear mode, power dissipation scales with V_CE × I_C; at V_CE = −10 V and I_C = −100 mA, P_D = 1 W exceeds the 300 mW rating. Use only with active cooling or reduced voltage/current in regulated output stages.

Is the SOT23 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?

Yes - PBHV9115TLH-QR is manufactured using lead-free solderable terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, as confirmed in Nexperia's official compliance documentation and material declarations.

How does the device behave under transient temperature cycling?

As an AEC-Q101 qualified part, PBHV9115TLH-QR has passed temperature cycling tests from −40 °C to +125 °C for 1000 cycles. Its silicon die and SOT23 mold compound are engineered to withstand repeated expansion/contraction without bond wire fatigue or delamination, ensuring reliability in automotive cabin and under-hood environments.
