Product details
Overview
PDTA143ZU from Nexperia is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for −50 V VCEO, −100 mA IO, with integrated R1 = 4.7 kΩ and R2/R1 = 10 bias resistors. It functions as a digitally controlled switch in automotive and industrial logic interfaces, replacing discrete base-resistor configurations for IC input control and load switching.
For engineers reviewing the PDTA143ZU datasheet, PDTA143ZU pinout, PDTA143ZU application, or PDTA143ZU equivalent, this device offers AEC-Q101 qualification, verified thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 625 K/W), and confirmed off-state input voltage (VI(off) = −0.6 V) - critical for robust digital switching in temperature-variable environments.
Technical Context
The PDTA143ZU integrates a PNP bipolar transistor with two precision on-die resistors: R1 (4.7 kΩ) connected between input and base, and R2 (47 kΩ) from base to emitter, forming a fixed-current bias network. This eliminates external bias components and ensures predictable turn-on/turn-off behavior under varying supply conditions.
Its −50 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and −100 mA output current capability support operation in 24 V automotive subsystems and industrial 24/36 V control rails. The device exhibits VCE(sat) ≤ −100 mV at IC = −5 mA / IB = −0.25 mA, enabling low-loss switching with minimal power dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V automotive systems with margin. |
| IO | −100 mA: Continuous output current rating; sufficient for driving LED indicators, small relays, or logic inputs. |
| R1 | 4.7 kΩ ±28%: Input bias resistor value; sets base current for predictable switching thresholds at 3.3 V/5 V logic levels. |
| R2/R1 | 10 ±20%: Fixed feedback ratio; stabilizes operating point against transistor hFE variation across temperature and process. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −100 mV at IC = −5 mA: Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating during active conduction. |
| VI(off) | −0.6 V typical: Confirmed input voltage threshold below which device remains fully off; prevents false triggering in noisy environments. |
| Ptot | 200 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C: Total power dissipation limit; defines maximum continuous switching duty in standard FR4 PCB layout. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 (SC-70), surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm with 1.3 mm lead pitch. Designed for reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020D.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (base node) | Connected internally to R1; accepts logic-level drive signal; requires no external pull-up/down. |
| 2 | Ground (emitter) | Common reference terminal; ties to system ground; serves as return path for R2 and emitter current. |
| 3 | Output (collector) | Switched high-side output node; sinks current when active; connects to load between VCC and pin 3. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Qualified for automotive applications per stress test standard; supports deployment in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules. |
| Integrated R1/R2 network | Eliminates 2 external resistors; reduces BOM count, PCB area, and assembly cost without compromising bias stability. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ −100 mV ensures <1 mW conduction loss at 10 mA load, improving efficiency in battery-powered and thermally constrained designs. |
| Wide ambient range | Operates from −65 °C to +150 °C; maintains functionality in under-hood automotive and industrial outdoor enclosures. |
| Standard SC-70 footprint | Compatible with existing pick-and-place equipment and reflow profiles; enables drop-in replacement of BC857-family transistors. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC Digital Input Stage |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC857B,115 | Discrete PNP transistor without built-in resistors; requires external RB and RBE for biasing. | Higher component count and layout sensitivity; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification. | Select only if custom bias tuning or higher hFE (>200) is required beyond RET's fixed gain profile. |
| PDTA123ZU,115 | Same SOT323 package but with R1 = 2.2 kΩ and R2/R1 = 10; lower input impedance and faster switching. | Better suited for 1.8 V/2.5 V logic interfaces; higher input current draw may increase MCU drive burden. | Choose when interfacing with low-voltage MCUs where PDTA143ZU's 4.7 kΩ R1 yields insufficient base drive. |
Compared with BC857B,115, PDTA143ZU reduces bill-of-materials and improves production yield; versus PDTA123ZU, it trades lower input current for improved noise margin in 5 V systems - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, AEC-Q101-compliant 24 V digital interfaces.

FAQ
Is PDTA143ZU suitable for 24 V automotive power domains?
Yes. With −50 V VCEO, −5 V VEBO, and AEC-Q101 qualification, PDTA143ZU supports 24 V nominal systems including load-dump transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (−120 V). Its −100 mA IO rating and 200 mW Ptot allow direct switching of solenoids, relays, and LEDs without additional protection circuitry in most body-control applications.
What is the maximum ambient temperature for continuous operation at full rated current?
At IO = −100 mA, junction temperature must remain ≤150 °C. With Rth(j-a) = 625 K/W and Ptot = IC × |VCE(sat)| ≈ 10 mW (at −100 mV), ambient temperature can reach +145 °C before exceeding Tj limit. Derating begins above +25 °C per Figure 1, reaching zero derated current at +150 °C ambient.
Can PDTA143ZU replace BC857 in existing designs without layout changes?
Yes - both use identical SOT323 (SC-70) package and pinout (Emitter-Ground, Collector-Output, Base-Input). However, PDTA143ZU's integrated R1/R2 means external base resistors must be removed. No copper layer modification is needed, but schematic updates are required to eliminate redundant bias components.
Does PDTA143ZU support bidirectional signal translation?
No. As a PNP RET, PDTA143ZU operates unidirectionally as a high-side switch or level translator from higher to lower voltage domains (e.g., 12 V → 3.3 V). It cannot pass signals from emitter to collector or function as a bidirectional bus buffer; dedicated level translators like NXH010P120MNF1 are required for that function.
