Product details
Overview
PDTA123JQBZ from Nexperia is a 50 V, 100 mA PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in a DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) leadless package with side-wettable flanks. It integrates R1 = 2.2 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ bias resistors, delivers hFE = 100 at IC = −10 mA, VCE(sat) ≤ −100 mV, and supports digital switching in space-constrained consumer and industrial control boards.
For engineers reviewing the PDTA123JQBZ datasheet, PDTA123JQBZ pinout, PDTA123JQBZ application, or PDTA123JQBZ equivalent, this RET simplifies base-drive circuitry for low-power PNP load switching, replaces discrete BJT + two-resistor solutions, and enables AOI-compatible assembly in ultra-thin portable electronics.
Technical Context
This PNP RET uses an integrated silicon transistor with monolithically embedded R1 (base-input resistor) and R2 (base-emitter feedback resistor), forming a single-input, single-output active switch. Its fixed R2/R1 ratio of 21 ensures stable saturation under varying temperature and supply conditions.
The device operates with VI(off) = −0.6 V to −0.5 V and VI(on) = −1.1 V to −0.75 V at IC = −5 mA, enabling direct interface with 1.8 V/3.3 V logic outputs without level-shifting. Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) is 298 K/W on 70 µm FR4 PCB, supporting continuous 100 mA operation within ambient limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V industrial bus interfaces. |
| IO | −100 mA - Continuous output current capability; sufficient for driving LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs. |
| hFE | 100 (typ.) at VCE = −5 V, IC = −10 mA - Predictable DC gain reduces design margin uncertainty in saturation-critical switching. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −100 mV - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating during high-duty-cycle operation. |
| R1 / R2 | 2.2 kΩ / 47 kΩ - Pre-biased resistor network eliminates external components and ensures consistent turn-on threshold. |
| Package | DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) - 1.1 × 1.0 × 0.48 mm, 0.5 mm profile, side-wettable flanks for automated optical solder-joint inspection. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) is a 3-terminal, leadless, ultra-thin surface-mount package with side-wettable flanks for reliable reflow soldering and AOI compatibility. Dimensions: 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.48 mm body height; 0.65 mm pitch; 0.5 mm max overall height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (base) | Accepts logic-level input; internal R1 connects this pin to transistor base, enabling single-wire drive. |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Emitter tied to system ground; serves as common reference for both input and output paths. |
| 3 | Output (collector) | Switched high-side output node; sinks up to 100 mA when input is asserted low relative to emitter. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias network | R1 = 2.2 kΩ + R2 = 47 kΩ eliminates need for two external resistors and associated layout area. |
| Low-profile packaging | 0.48 mm body height and side-wettable flanks support thin-form-factor designs and automated optical inspection. |
| Guaranteed saturation | VCE(sat) ≤ −100 mV at IC = −5 mA ensures reliable logic-level interfacing without marginal conduction. |
| Thermal robustness | Rth(j-a) = 298 K/W on 70 µm FR4 allows sustained 100 mA operation up to +85 °C ambient without derating. |
Applications
| LED Indicator Control | Microcontroller GPIO Expansion |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving status LEDs from low-current MCU GPIO pins in battery-powered wearables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a PNP current sink amplifier, translating 3.3 V logic-low signal into ~10 mA LED current. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete base resistor and pull-down, reducing BOM count by two parts per channel. |
Use Scenario: Expanding limited GPIO count to control multiple peripheral enable lines in IoT edge nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as a logic-level translator and current buffer for 1.8 V/3.3 V enable signals to 5 V peripherals. Use Value: Enables direct connection without level shifters; VI(on) = −0.75 V ensures clean turn-on with standard CMOS outputs. |
| Power Rail Sequencing | Industrial Sensor Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Enabling auxiliary power rails only after main supply stabilizes in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as a controlled high-side switch triggered by supervisor IC's open-drain reset output. Use Value: Built-in R2 provides defined pull-up behavior; eliminates risk of floating base during power-up transients. |
Use Scenario: Isolating analog sensor outputs from noisy digital domains in factory automation modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides galvanic separation between sensor ground and microcontroller ground via emitter-follower configuration. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) preserves signal headroom; 50 V rating accommodates transient spikes on 24 V sensor buses. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTC123JQB | NPN complement with identical R1/R2 values and package; requires inverted logic drive. | Suitable where load is connected to VCC instead of GND, enabling low-side switching topology. | Select when circuit architecture favors NPN sinking over PNP sourcing or when existing layout uses NPN RETs. |
| PDTA143XQB | R1 = 4.7 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ, R2/R1 = 2.13; lower input current requirement but reduced noise immunity. | Better suited for higher-VCC systems (>5 V) where tighter VI(on) tolerance is acceptable. | Choose when interfacing with 5 V logic or when lower base current draw is prioritized over noise margin. |
Compared with PDTC123JQB, PDTA123JQBZ offers native high-side switching without logic inversion; versus PDTA143XQB, it provides superior noise immunity due to higher R2/R1 ratio, making it more robust in electrically noisy industrial environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for PDTA123JQBZ?
The maximum continuous collector current is −100 mA at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on a standard FR4 PCB with 70 µm copper. Derating applies above 25 °C per Fig. 1: at 85 °C ambient, maximum sustainable current drops to approximately −65 mA due to thermal limits.
Can PDTA123JQBZ replace BC857 in digital circuits?
Yes - PDTA123JQBZ is explicitly positioned as a cost-saving alternative to BC857 series in digital applications. Unlike BC857, it integrates base biasing resistors, eliminating two external components and reducing PCB area, pick-and-place steps, and potential solder defects.
What does the 'Z' suffix in PDTA123JQBZ indicate?
The 'Z' suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per JEDEC standard J-STD-020, with 10,000 units per reel. It does not affect electrical characteristics - all parameters match PDTA123JQB as specified in the Rev. 1 datasheet dated 28 September 2021.
Is PDTA123JQBZ suitable for automotive applications?
No - PDTA123JQBZ is not automotive-qualified. The datasheet states "Non-automotive qualified products" and specifies no AEC-Q101 testing or qualification. It is intended for industrial, consumer, and computing applications only.
