Product details
Overview
PDTB143XQAZ from Nexperia is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) designed for digital switching in space-constrained PCBs. It features 4.7 kΩ input bias resistor (R1), 10 kΩ pull-down resistor (R2), −50 V VCEO, −500 mA IO, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use - deployed in LED driver control and microcontroller I/O interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the PDTB143XQAZ datasheet, PDTB143XQAZ pinout, PDTB143XQAZ application, or PDTB143XQAZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated R1/R2 ratio (2.13 typ), low VCEsat (−100 mV at IC = −50 mA), ultra-thin DFN1010D-3 package (0.37 mm height), and −7 V VEBO rating for robust input protection.
Technical Context
This RET integrates a PNP bipolar transistor with two monolithically embedded silicon resistors: R1 connects base to input, R2 connects base to emitter, enabling single-pin digital drive without external bias components. Its design eliminates base current calculation and reduces layout complexity in high-density logic interface circuits.
The device operates as a saturated switch with guaranteed DC current gain (hFE ≥ 70 at IC = −50 mA, VCE = −5 V) and supports fast turn-on/turn-off via controlled VI(on)/VI(off) thresholds (−1.4 V typ on-state, −0.75 V typ off-state), making it suitable for 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller GPIO interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V: Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V automotive load switching. |
| IO | −500 mA: Continuous output current capability; supports driving medium-power LEDs or relay coils directly. |
| R1 | 4.7 kΩ (typ): Input bias resistor value; sets base current for reliable saturation with standard logic-level inputs. |
| R2/R1 | 2.13 (typ): Fixed resistor ratio ensuring stable turn-off behavior and noise immunity in noisy environments. |
| VCEsat | −100 mV (typ at IC = −50 mA): Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating during conduction. |
| VEBO | −7 V: Emitter-base reverse voltage rating; exceeds typical 5 V logic rail, allowing safe operation with margin. |
| fT | 150 MHz: Transition frequency of internal transistor; supports clean switching up to ~10 MHz digital signals. |
| Package | DFN1010D-3 (SOT1215): 1.1 × 1.0 × 0.37 mm leadless package with side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1010D-3 (SOT1215) is a 3-terminal, leadless, ultra-thin surface-mount package with visible side pads for automated optical inspection. Body dimensions: 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.37 mm; thermal pad on underside connected to collector terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (base) | Driven by MCU GPIO or logic signal; internal R1 connects this pin to base node. |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Emitter terminal tied to system ground; provides return path for load current and R2 reference. |
| 3 & 4 | Output (collector) | Parallel-connected collector terminals; handle full −500 mA load current and provide low-inductance thermal path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive underhood applications per stress test requirements (HTOL, TC, HTRB). |
| Integrated R1 + R2 | Eliminates two external resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area in digital interface designs. |
| 0.37 mm profile | Enables placement beneath connectors or in stacked modules where Z-height is constrained. |
| ±10% R2/R1 tolerance | Ensures consistent turn-off threshold across production lots, critical for deterministic logic-level translation. |
| Side-wettable flanks | Supports automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without X-ray, improving manufacturing yield. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTB123YQA | R1 = 2.2 kΩ, R2/R1 = 4.55 typ, VEBO = −5 V | Lower input impedance; less suitable for weak-drive MCUs or long trace routing | Select when higher base current is available and tighter VI(on) control is needed. |
| BC807-40 | Discrete PNP BJT requiring external R1/R2; no integrated resistors; SOT23 package | Higher board area, additional component count, manual bias design required | Choose only if legacy design reuse or parametric tuning beyond fixed RET ratios is necessary. |
Compared with PDTB123YQA, PDTB143XQAZ offers higher input resistance for better noise immunity and wider VI(off) margin; versus BC807-40, it delivers BOM reduction, AOI compatibility, and guaranteed resistor matching - critical for high-volume, miniaturized consumer and automotive electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum ambient temperature for continuous operation?
PDTB143XQAZ supports continuous operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient, with junction temperature limited to 150 °C. Derated power dissipation must be observed above 25 °C - e.g., 525 mW on 4-layer FR4 PCB at 25 °C drops to 325 mW on single-layer board at same temperature.
Can PDTB143XQAZ replace BC807-40 in existing designs?
Yes, with layout adaptation: PDTB143XQAZ uses DFN1010D-3 (SOT1215) vs. BC807-40's SOT23, requiring footprint change. Its integrated 4.7 kΩ/10 kΩ resistors eliminate external bias components, but VI(on)/VI(off) thresholds differ - verify logic-level compatibility with your MCU's output swing.
Is the collector terminal electrically isolated from the thermal pad?
No - pins 3 and 4 are both collector terminals and internally connected to the exposed thermal pad on the underside of the DFN1010D-3 package. This pad must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to the collector net for optimal thermal performance and electrical function.
What is the recommended reflow profile for DFN1010D-3 mounting?
Use JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant lead-free reflow: peak temperature 260 °C max, time above 217 °C = 60–150 s, ramp rate ≤ 3 °C/s. The SOT1215 footprint requires precise stencil aperture (0.35 mm × 0.45 mm, 0.12 mm thickness) to ensure side-pad wetting and void-free solder joints.
