Product details
Overview
PEMD17 from Nexperia is a dual NPN/PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT666 package, integrating one NPN and one PNP transistor with built-in bias resistors R1 = 47 kΩ and R2 = 22 kΩ. It delivers 100 mA DC output current per transistor, supports ±50 V collector-emitter voltage, and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient range - used for compact logic-level signal inversion and bidirectional interface buffering in space-constrained digital control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PEMD17 datasheet, PEMD17 pinout, PEMD17 application, or PEMD17 equivalent, this device serves as a verified drop-in alternative to discrete BJT + resistor combinations in low-power peripheral driver, IC input control, and digital logic translation designs where board area and assembly cost are critical.
Technical Context
The PEMD17 integrates two complementary transistors on a single die: TR1 (NPN) and TR2 (PNP), each with dedicated base bias networks (R1 and R2). Its internal resistor ratio R2/R1 = 0.47 enables predictable turn-on/turn-off thresholds under varying load conditions.
It operates with VI(on) = 2.7 V (typ.) and VI(off) = 1.7 V (typ.) at IC = 2 mA and 100 µA respectively, supporting TTL- and CMOS-compatible logic interfacing without external level-shifting components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V max - supports rail-to-rail switching in 3.3 V and 5 V digital systems without breakdown risk |
| IO (DC) | 100 mA per transistor - sufficient to drive LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs directly |
| R1 | 47 kΩ ±28% - sets base current for predictable saturation at standard logic drive levels |
| R2/R1 ratio | 0.47 ±21% - ensures stable bias network gain for consistent switching hysteresis |
| VCE(sat) | 150 mV max at IC = 10 mA, IB = 0.5 mA - minimizes conduction loss in active-switching applications |
| Ptot (per device) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - enables operation in thermally unmanaged PCB layouts |
| hFE | 60 min at VCE = 5 V, IC = 5 mA - guarantees reliable current amplification in linear and switching modes |
Pinout & Package
SOT666 plastic surface-mounted package (6-pin, 1.7 mm × 1.5 mm footprint); moisture sensitivity level MSL3 per J-STD-020; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND (emitter) of TR1 (NPN) | Common emitter reference for NPN transistor; connects to system ground or low-side return path |
| 2 | Input (base) of TR1 (NPN) | Logic-level input node with integrated R1–R2 bias network; accepts 0–40 V positive drive |
| 3 | Output (collector) of TR2 (PNP) | Active-high output terminal; sinks current when TR2 is on, sources when off via pull-up |
| 4 | GND (emitter) of TR2 (PNP) | Emitter connection for PNP transistor; tied to system VCC in high-side switch configurations |
| 5 | Input (base) of TR2 (PNP) | Logic-level input for PNP side; accepts −40 V to +10 V, enabling inverted signal control |
| 6 | Output (collector) of TR1 (NPN) | Active-low output terminal; pulls down when TR1 is on, floats or rises via pull-up when off |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual complementary RET topology | Single-package NPN+PNP pair eliminates layout mismatch and timing skew between matched switching paths |
| Integrated bias resistors (R1/R2) | Reduces bill-of-materials count by two resistors per channel and eliminates manual resistor placement error |
| Wide input voltage tolerance | Supports VI up to +40 V (TR1) and −40 V (TR2), enabling direct interface with industrial I/O and mixed-voltage buses |
| Low thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 416 K/W (per device) allows sustained 100 mA operation without heatsinking in standard FR4 PCBs |
| JEDEC-standard SOT666 footprint | Enables automated pick-and-place compatibility and reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020 Class 3 requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual RET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PUMD17 | SOT363 (SC-88) package; identical electrical specs but smaller footprint (1.3 mm × 1.8 mm vs. 1.7 mm × 1.5 mm) | Better suited for ultra-dense layouts; slightly higher thermal resistance (625 K/W per transistor) | Select when board area is constrained and thermal load is below 60 mA continuous per channel |
| PEMB17 | PNP/PNP complement; same SOT666 package but dual-PNP configuration only | Used in high-side switching arrays requiring matched PNP pairs (e.g., H-bridge pre-driver stages) | Choose only when both channels must source current simultaneously; not interchangeable for NPN/PNP logic inversion |
Compared with PUMD17, PEMD17 offers lower thermal resistance and better power handling in the same functional role; compared with PEMB17, it provides true complementary switching capability essential for push-pull and inverter topologies.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage at Pin 2 (TR1 base)?
The absolute maximum input voltage at Pin 2 is +40 V under positive polarity conditions, as specified in Table 6 Limiting Values. This rating applies with the emitter (Pin 1) grounded and ensures safe operation without base-emitter junction breakdown. Exceeding this value risks permanent damage even with current limiting.
Can PEMD17 be used in linear amplifier mode?
No - PEMD17 is characterized and qualified exclusively for switching operation. Its hFE is specified only at IC = 5 mA and VCE = 5 V, and no linearity, frequency response, or distortion data is provided. The integrated bias resistors also prevent stable DC bias point adjustment required for analog amplification.
Is the SOT666 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - PEMD17 uses a lead-free, halogen-free SOT666 package compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL3. The device undergoes standard reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C.
How does the R2/R1 ratio affect switching behavior?
The R2/R1 ratio of 0.47 determines the internal feedback fraction that stabilizes the base current during saturation. A lower ratio increases effective β and improves noise immunity against false triggering, while a higher ratio reduces base drive overhead - this fixed ratio ensures consistent VI(on)/VI(off) hysteresis across process and temperature variations.
