Product details
Overview
PDTA143TU,115 from Nexperia is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor with integrated 4.7 kΩ base bias resistor (R1), open R2 configuration, −50 V VCEO, −100 mA IO, and SOT323 (SC-70) package. It functions as a single-transistor switch in low-power digital interface circuits, eliminating external bias components for level translation between microcontrollers and peripheral loads.
For engineers reviewing the PDTA143TU,115 datasheet, PDTA143TU,115 pinout, PDTA143TU,115 application, or PDTA143TU,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed hFE ≥200 at −1 mA IC, VCEsat ≤ −150 mV at −5 mA IC/−0.25 mA IB, thermal resistance of 625 K/W, and compatibility with reflow-only soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device integrates a PNP bipolar junction transistor with a monolithic 4.7 kΩ pull-up base resistor (R1) and no second resistor (R2 = open), enabling direct logic-level drive without external bias networks. Its fixed bias topology supports deterministic turn-on/turn-off behavior in unidirectional switching applications.
Designed for surface-mount use in space-constrained PCBs, it operates across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient, with absolute maximum ratings including −50 V VCBO/VCEO, −5 V VEBO, and 200 mW Ptot at Tamb = 25 °C - all validated under standard mounting conditions on FR4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in open-base configuration. |
| IO | −100 mA: Continuous DC output current capability without thermal runaway under rated conditions. |
| R1 | 4.7 kΩ ±28% (3.3–6.1 kΩ): Integrated base bias resistor enabling direct TTL/CMOS drive with predictable IB. |
| hFE | ≥200 at VCE = −5 V, IC = −1 mA: Minimum DC current gain ensuring reliable saturation with low base drive. |
| VCEsat | ≤ −150 mV at IC = −5 mA, IB = −0.25 mA: Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss in switching mode. |
| Rth j-a | 625 K/W: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in free air, defining derating curve for SOT323 layout. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 (SC-70), plastic surface-mounted package with 3 leads; dimensions 2.2 × 1.35 × 1.15 mm (L × W × H); lead pitch 1.9 mm; RoHS-compliant, reflow-soldering only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Input node connected to internal R1 | Accepts logic-level input; R1 pulls base toward emitter for controlled PNP turn-on. |
| 2 (Emitter) | Common reference terminal | Connected to higher potential rail (e.g., VCC); source of switched current. |
| 3 (Collector) | Output node | Delivers switched current to load; sinks current when transistor is saturated. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in bias resistor R1 | 4.7 kΩ monolithic resistor eliminates need for external base pull-up, reducing BOM count by one component. |
| Guaranteed hFE ≥200 | Ensures consistent saturation with minimal base drive current, simplifying drive circuit design for 3.3 V/5 V logic. |
| VCEsat ≤ −150 mV | Minimizes conduction loss in high-duty-cycle switching, critical for battery-powered sensor interface stages. |
| SOT323 footprint | 1.35 mm width enables dense routing in portable electronics; compatible with standard 0.65 mm pitch pick-and-place equipment. |
Applications
| Microcontroller GPIO Interface | LED Driver Stage |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving discrete LEDs from 3.3 V MCU outputs with current limiting via external series resistor. IC Role / Device Role: Low-side switch that inverts logic signal and provides current gain to overcome LED forward voltage drop. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate base resistor, reducing PCB area and assembly cost in multi-LED indicator arrays. |
Use Scenario: Controlling status LEDs in industrial HMIs where EMI immunity and consistent brightness are required. IC Role / Device Role: Constant-current sink stage with predictable VCEsat enabling stable LED current despite supply variation. Use Value: Fixed R1 ensures repeatable turn-on threshold across temperature, improving visual consistency in field-deployed units. |

IC Role / Device Role: Active-low level shifter using emitter-follower configuration with defined VBE drop. Use Value: Integrated R1 guarantees sufficient base current even at lowest valid logic-high voltage (1.8 V), preventing marginal turn-on. |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling auxiliary 3.3 V power rails in IoT edge nodes based on system sleep state. IC Role / Device Role: High-side enable switch controlling PMOS gate drive via inverted logic signal. Use Value: −50 V VCEO rating provides margin against transient overshoot during rail sequencing, enhancing system robustness. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTC143TU,115 | NPN complement with identical R1 = 4.7 kΩ, same SOT323 package, but opposite polarity and drive logic. | Requires active-high control instead of active-low; unsuitable for high-side switching with positive rails. | Select when interfacing with NPN-compatible logic families or when sourcing current is preferred over sinking. |
| EMH11T2R | PNP RET with R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ (dual-resistor), higher VCEO = −60 V, SOT-323 package. | Supports voltage divider bias for improved noise immunity; higher R1 reduces base current consumption. | Choose for enhanced ESD tolerance in noisy environments or when lower standby current is critical. |
Compared with PDTC143TU,115 and EMH11T2R, PDTA143TU,115 offers optimal balance of low VCEsat, guaranteed hFE, and minimal external component dependency for cost-sensitive, space-constrained active-low switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable continuous collector current for PDTA143TU,115?
The absolute maximum continuous collector current (IO) is −100 mA at Tamb ≤ 25 °C with standard PCB mounting. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the 625 K/W thermal resistance; at 70 °C ambient, maximum usable IO drops to approximately −70 mA to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C.
Can PDTA143TU,115 be used in place of a standard PNP transistor like BC807?
No - PDTA143TU,115 integrates a 4.7 kΩ base resistor and has no external base connection; it cannot replace discrete PNP transistors requiring external bias networks. Its pinout (base-input, emitter-high, collector-output) and fixed bias topology make it functionally distinct from BC807, which requires two external resistors for switching operation.
Is reflow soldering mandatory for PDTA143TU,115?
Yes - the datasheet explicitly states "reflow soldering is the only recommended soldering method" due to thermal sensitivity of the SOT323 package and internal resistor structure. Wave or hand soldering risks exceeding junction temperature limits and degrading R1 tolerance or hFE performance.
What does the "U" suffix indicate in PDTA143TU,115?
The "U" denotes the SOT323 (SC-70) package variant within the PDTA143T series, as confirmed in the product overview table. It distinguishes this version from other packages like "TS" (TO-92), "TK" (SOT346), or "TM" (SOT883), each with different thermal and mechanical characteristics.
