Product details
Overview
PDTA114ET-QVL from Nexperia is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT23 package, rated for −50 V VCEO, −100 mA IO, with integrated R1 = 10 kΩ and R2/R1 = 1.0 ratio, designed for digital switching in automotive control circuits and IC input interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the PDTA114ET-QVL datasheet, PDTA114ET-QVL pinout, PDTA114ET-QVL application, or PDTA114ET-QVL equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed AEC-Q101 qualification, built-in bias resistors eliminating external components, and verified −150 mV VCE(sat) at −10 mA/−0.5 mA drive for low-loss switching in 12 V automotive systems.
Technical Context
This RET integrates a PNP bipolar transistor with two precision laser-trimmed on-die resistors: R1 (base-input resistor) and R2 (base-emitter feedback resistor), forming a fixed-current-biased switch topology. Its R2/R1 ratio of 1.0 enables predictable turn-on/off thresholds across temperature.
The device operates as a single-pole digital switch with defined VI(on) = −1.8 V (typ.) and VI(off) = −1.1 V (typ.) at 25 °C, supporting direct GPIO-level interfacing without level-shifting. Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W (FR4 PCB) ensures stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; supports 24 V automotive rail switching with safety margin. |
| IO | −100 mA - Continuous output current capability; sufficient for driving relays, LEDs, or logic inputs in body electronics. |
| R1 | 10 kΩ (7–13 kΩ) - Input bias resistor value; sets base current for predictable saturation under standard microcontroller drive. |
| VCE(sat) | −150 mV (max) at IC = −10 mA, IB = −0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and heat generation in high-duty-cycle switching. |
| hFE | 30 (min) at VCE = −5 V, IC = −5 mA - DC current gain ensures reliable forced-beta operation with integrated resistors. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress-test requirements for automotive discrete semiconductors; suitable for under-hood and cabin ECUs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package: 3-terminal, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, FR4-compatible footprint per Fig. 11 and Fig. 12.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (base) | Connects to control signal via R1; accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels directly without external pull-up/down. |
| 2 | Ground (emitter) | Emitter terminal tied to system ground; provides return path for load current and internal resistor network. |
| 3 | Output (collector) | Switches high-side loads referenced to positive rail; sinks current when active, open-circuit when off. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias network | R1 = 10 kΩ + R2/R1 = 1.0 eliminates need for two external resistors, reducing BOM count by 2 parts per channel. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use per stress-test standard; supports PPAP documentation and long-term reliability in harsh environments. |
| Low VCE(sat) | −150 mV max at rated current enables <15 mW conduction loss in 12 V systems, reducing thermal design burden. |
| Simplified digital interface | VI(on) = −1.8 V (typ.) and VI(off) = −1.1 V (typ.) align with standard 3.3 V/5 V MCU outputs, enabling direct connection. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC Digital Output |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching 12 V solenoids and indicator LEDs in door modules and lighting controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP RET acting as grounded-emitter load switch, controlled by MCU GPIO with no external biasing. Use Value: Reduces component count vs. discrete BJT + two resistors; AEC-Q101 compliance ensures functional safety alignment for ASIL-B subsystems. | Use Scenario: Driving 24 V DC field devices (valves, sensors) from isolated digital output cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch interface between opto-isolated logic and industrial loads. Use Value: −50 V VCEO rating accommodates 24 V nominal rails with surge margin; 100 mA IO supports typical sensor actuation currents. |
| Automotive HVAC Control | Consumer Appliance Motor Interface |
Use Scenario: Enabling fan speed control signals and mode-selection relays in climate control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital logic-level translator and current amplifier for relay coil drive. Use Value: Built-in R1/R2 ensures consistent turn-on timing across temperature (−40 °C to 125 °C ambient). | Use Scenario: Controlling small DC motors and status indicators in smart home appliances. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-cost, space-constrained load switch replacing BC847-Q series transistors. Use Value: SOT23 footprint saves PCB area vs. SC-70; −150 mV VCE(sat) reduces self-heating during continuous motor enable states. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP resistor-equipped transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTC114ET-Q | NPN complement with identical R1/R2 values and AEC-Q101 rating; VCEO = +50 V, IO = +100 mA. | Used where load is connected to ground and switching occurs on high side (e.g., LED anode drive). | Select when circuit topology requires NPN configuration or sourcing current from VCC. |
| BC807-25Q | Discrete PNP BJT (no integrated resistors); hFE = 160–400; requires external RB and RBE for biasing. | Offers higher gain and lower VCE(sat) but increases BOM count and layout complexity. | Choose only if precise gain control or sub-100 mV saturation is required and board space allows extra passives. |
Compared with PDTC114ET-Q, PDTA114ET-QVL provides complementary PNP functionality with identical automotive qualification and resistor ratios, while BC807-25Q demands external biasing but delivers higher hFE-making it suitable only when design flexibility outweighs BOM and layout cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PDTA114ET-QVL?
The junction temperature limit is 150 °C, and the ambient operating range is −65 °C to +150 °C. When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (single-sided, 35 μm Cu), its thermal resistance is 500 K/W, allowing full 100 mA output current only below ~75 °C ambient unless heatsinking or airflow is added.
Does PDTA114ET-QVL require external bias resistors?
No. It integrates R1 = 10 kΩ (input) and R2 = 10 kΩ (feedback) internally, enabling direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V logic outputs without external components. This eliminates two passive parts per channel and associated layout area and placement cost.
How does PDTA114ET-QVL differ from standard PNP transistors like BC807?
Unlike BC807, PDTA114ET-QVL embeds precision bias resistors, delivering guaranteed VI(on)/VI(off) thresholds and eliminating external bias design. It also carries AEC-Q101 qualification, whereas BC807-25Q is automotive-qualified but lacks integrated resistors and has variable hFE-dependent turn-on behavior.
Can PDTA114ET-QVL replace BC847-Q series transistors?
Yes-as stated in Nexperia's official applications section, it serves as a cost-saving alternative to BC847-Q in digital switching roles. Its PNP polarity, matched −50 V/−100 mA ratings, and integrated resistors allow drop-in replacement where grounded-emitter switching is used, reducing component count and improving consistency.
