Product details
Overview
PDTA144TM,315 from Nexperia is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor with integrated 47 kΩ base bias resistor (R1), open R2 configuration, −50 V VCEO, −100 mA IO, and SOT883 (SC-101) ultra-small leadless package. It functions as a single-stage digital switch or level-shifter in space-constrained low-power logic interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PDTA144TM,315 datasheet, PDTA144TM,315 pinout, PDTA144TM,315 application, or PDTA144TM,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include its built-in bias network, −150 mV VCEsat at −10 mA/−0.5 mA drive, thermal resistance of 500 K/W, and compatibility with reflow-only assembly on FR4 substrates.
Technical Context
This device integrates a monolithic PNP bipolar junction transistor with a precision 47 kΩ input resistor (R1) and no second resistor (R2 = open), enabling direct connection to CMOS/TTL logic without external bias components. Its SOT883 footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in portable and wearable electronics.
Designed for DC switching and linear amplification up to 100 mA, it delivers guaranteed hFE ≥ 100 at −1 mA collector current and −5 V VCE, with cut-off leakage below −1 μA ICEO and −100 nA ICBO under rated voltage stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter reverse voltage before breakdown in open-base configuration |
| IO | −100 mA: Continuous DC output current capability without thermal derating at Tamb ≤ 25 °C |
| R1 | 47 kΩ: Integrated base bias resistor enabling direct logic-level drive without external components |
| VCEsat | −150 mV: Low saturation voltage ensures minimal power loss and heat generation in switching mode |
| hFE | ≥100: Minimum DC current gain at −1 mA IC, −5 V VCE, supporting reliable signal amplification |
| Rth(j-a) | 500 K/W: Thermal resistance from junction to ambient under standard SOT883 mounting on FR4 with 60 μm copper |
| Cc | 3 pF: Collector capacitance at −10 V VCB, 1 MHz - critical for high-speed switching edge integrity |
Pinout & Package
SOT883 (SC-101) is a leadless ultra-small plastic package measuring 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm with three solder lands; optimized for automated reflow assembly only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Input control node connected internally to R1 | Accepts logic-level input; internal 47 kΩ resistor pulls base toward emitter for defined turn-on threshold |
| 2 (Emitter) | Reference terminal for current sink path | Connected directly to ground or low-side rail; defines common reference for switching operation |
| 3 (Collector) | Output current sink terminal | Drives load to ground when active; rated for −50 V reverse blocking and −100 mA continuous conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in 47 kΩ base resistor | Eliminates need for external bias network, reducing BOM count and layout area by ≥2 components per switch |
| −150 mV VCEsat at −10 mA | Minimizes conduction loss in battery-powered systems, extending runtime in 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces |
| SOT883 ultra-small footprint | 1.0 × 0.6 mm body enables placement in <1.5 mm pitch layouts typical in wearables and IoT sensors |
| Reflow-only assembly compatibility | Validated for Pb-free reflow profiles only - prevents damage during hand-soldering or wave processes |
Applications
| LED Driver Circuit | Microcontroller GPIO Expander |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving discrete indicator LEDs from 3.3 V MCU outputs with current limiting via external resistor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch sinking LED anode current to ground; operates in saturated mode with fixed base drive. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate base resistor, reducing component count and PCB real estate while maintaining <2 mA LED current accuracy. |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting 1.8 V I²C signals to 5 V peripherals in mixed-voltage embedded systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-pull-up switch enabling bidirectional open-drain bus translation without timing skew. Use Value: Delivers sub-100 ns turn-off delay and <150 mV low-state voltage, preserving I²C timing margins and noise immunity. |
| Low-Power Sensor Interface | Portable Audio Amplifier Bias |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling analog sensor supply rails in sleep-wake cycles of battery-operated environmental monitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch controlling VCC to sensor ICs; driven by MCU GPIO in active-low configuration. Use Value: Achieves <1 μA off-state leakage and <150 mV on-resistance-equivalent drop, minimizing quiescent current and supply loss. |
Use Scenario: Providing stable bias current to Class AB audio amplifier input stages in Bluetooth earbuds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current source configured with emitter degeneration resistor for thermal stability. Use Value: Maintains hFE-stable bias over −40 °C to +85 °C ambient, preventing distortion drift across operating temperature range. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTC144TM,315 | NPN complement with identical R1 = 47 kΩ, same SOT883 package, but opposite polarity and drive logic | Requires active-high control instead of active-low; unsuitable for high-side switching without level inversion | Select when sourcing current from VCC rather than sinking to ground |
| PDTA124TM,315 | Same PNP topology but R1 = 22 kΩ, resulting in higher base current and lower input impedance | Better suited for driving heavier loads (>50 mA) or interfacing with higher-output-impedance sources | Choose when faster switching or improved noise immunity against floating inputs is required |
Compared with PDTC144TM,315 and PDTA124TM,315, PDTA144TM,315 provides optimal balance of input sensitivity, saturation efficiency, and board-area savings for low-current active-low switching in ultra-compact designs.

FAQ
Is PDTA144TM,315 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes - PDTA144TM,315 is qualified for Pb-free reflow soldering only, per datasheet Note 2. Its SOT883 package requires peak temperatures up to 260 °C with controlled ramp rates; wave soldering and hand-soldering are not recommended due to thermal stress risks and solder joint reliability concerns.
What is the maximum operating temperature for continuous use?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, and the specified operating ambient temperature range is −65 °C to +150 °C. At full 100 mA load, thermal derating begins above 25 °C ambient due to its 500 K/W Rth(j-a); sustained operation above 85 °C ambient requires PCB copper thermal relief or forced airflow.
Can PDTA144TM,315 replace a standard PNP transistor like BC807?
No - PDTA144TM,315 is not a drop-in replacement for discrete transistors such as BC807 because it includes an integrated 47 kΩ base resistor and lacks a standalone base terminal. Substitution requires circuit redesign to remove external bias components and verify logic polarity compatibility.
Does R2 being "open" affect switching speed or noise immunity?
Yes - the absence of R2 (open) eliminates a parallel discharge path for base charge, slightly increasing turn-off time versus dual-resistor RETs. However, its 3 pF collector capacitance and −150 mV VCEsat maintain robust noise immunity in 3.3 V logic environments, especially when used with short PCB traces and local decoupling.
