Product details
Overview
PIMC32PAS-QX from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified NPN/PNP resistor-equipped double transistor (RET) in a DFN2020D-6 (SOT1118D) leadless package with side-wettable flanks. It delivers 50 V VCEO, 500 mA output current per transistor, and built-in bias resistors R1 = 2.2 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ (R2/R1 = 4.55), enabling direct digital logic interfacing in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the PIMC32PAS-QX datasheet, PIMC32PAS-QX pinout, PIMC32PAS-QX application, or PIMC32PAS-QX equivalent, this device serves as a space- and BOM-optimized replacement for discrete BC807/BC817 pairs in load switching, IC input control, and low-power digital interface circuits where thermal performance and automotive qualification are critical.
Technical Context
This dual RET integrates one NPN and one PNP transistor with monolithically embedded base bias resistors-R1 connected between input and base, R2 between base and emitter-eliminating external pull-up/down components. Each transistor operates independently with separate collector, emitter, and base terminals routed to dedicated pins.
The device supports bidirectional switching: TR1 (NPN) handles sink-current loads with VCEsat ≤ 100 mV at IC = 50 mA / IB = 2.5 mA; TR2 (PNP) provides source-current capability with symmetric VCEsat and hFE ≥ 70 at IC = 50 mA, enabling complementary drive in level-shifting and push-pull configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage for both transistors under open-base conditions; enables use in 24 V automotive systems with margin. |
| IO | 500 mA - Continuous DC output current rating per transistor; supports driving relays, LEDs, and logic inputs without external current boosting. |
| R1 | 2.2 kΩ ±30% - Integrated input bias resistor; sets base current for logic-level drive compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers. |
| R2/R1 ratio | 4.55 - Fixed internal resistor ratio ensuring stable bias point and predictable turn-on/off thresholds across temperature. |
| hFE | ≥70 - Minimum DC current gain at VCE = 5 V, IC = 50 mA; guarantees reliable saturation with standard logic-drive base currents. |
| VCEsat | ≤100 mV - Low saturation voltage at rated current; minimizes power loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switching. |
| Tj max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; validated for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q101 stress testing. |

| 4 | GND2 | Emiter of TR2 (PNP); common reference for second transistor's current path. |
| 5 | I2 | Base input of TR2 (PNP); accepts logic-low signal (or pulled low) to activate PNP switch. |
| 6 | O1 | Collector of TR1 (NPN); output node for sinking current in low-side configuration. |

Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC Input Conditioning |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving window lift motors and seat position sensors in 12 V/24 V vehicle architectures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual RET acts as bidirectional interface between MCU GPIOs and inductive loads, providing logic-level compatible sink/source switching.

Use Scenario: Converting 24 V industrial field signals to 3.3 V/5 V logic levels for microcontroller input protection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TR1 (NPN) sinks current from optocoupler outputs; TR2 (PNP) sources current to pull-up networks in isolated input stages. Use Value: Built-in resistor ratios ensure consistent threshold behavior across temperature, eliminating calibration drift in harsh environments. |
| LED Driver for Dashboard Backlighting | Smart Sensor Interface Circuit |
|
Use Scenario: Controlling multi-color LED strings in instrument cluster backlighting with PWM dimming. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TR1 switches cathode-side current (sink mode); TR2 drives anode-side current (source mode) for dynamic polarity control. Use Value: Matched hFE and VCEsat between NPN and PNP sections ensure balanced brightness and minimal color shift during PWM transitions. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing MEMS pressure sensors with analog front-end ICs requiring active bias and signal conditioning. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TR1 buffers sensor output to ADC input; TR2 enables programmable gain switching via resistor network reconfiguration. Use Value: Low 5 pF (TR1) and 7 pF (TR2) collector capacitance preserves signal integrity up to 100 MHz, supporting fast sensor sampling rates. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar resistor-equipped transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PIMN32PAS-Q | NPN/NPN complement; identical package and R1/R2 values but no PNP section. | Suitable only for dual-sink applications; cannot replace PIMC32PAS-Q in push-pull or level-shift topologies. | Select when both switched loads require sinking only and shared ground topology is acceptable. |
| PIMP32PAS-Q | PNP/PNP complement; same footprint and bias network but lacks NPN transistor. | Limited to dual-source configurations; incompatible with mixed-sink/source control schemes. | Choose only for high-side-only switching where both outputs must source current simultaneously. |
Compared with PIMN32PAS-Q and PIMP32PAS-Q, the PIMC32PAS-Q uniquely combines NPN and PNP functionality in one die, enabling true complementary switching without board-level pairing-critical for minimizing propagation delay mismatch and layout asymmetry in timing-sensitive interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating ambient temperature for PIMC32PAS-QX?
The device is rated for ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C, with full electrical specifications guaranteed over −40 °C to +125 °C. Thermal derating applies above +25 °C ambient depending on PCB copper area and layer count, as shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
Can PIMC32PAS-QX replace BC807 and BC817 transistors in existing designs?
Yes-it is explicitly positioned as a cost- and space-saving alternative to BC807/BC817 pairs in digital switching applications. Pin mapping differs due to the integrated dual-transistor structure, so PCB layout revision is required, but no changes to bias network design are needed.
Does PIMC32PAS-QX support PWM switching at frequencies above 10 kHz?
Yes. With fT of 210 MHz (TR1, NPN) and 150 MHz (TR2, PNP), plus low Cc (5–7 pF), the device supports clean switching up to at least 1 MHz. For 10 kHz+ PWM, ensure gate drive strength meets IB requirements (e.g., ≥2.5 mA for full saturation).
How is thermal performance affected when using only one transistor in the package?
Power dissipation derating remains based on total device power (up to 1 W on 4-layer PCB). Using only one transistor reduces localized heating, but thermal resistance values (e.g., Rth(j-a) = 125 K/W) reflect worst-case per-device conditions-actual junction temperature will be lower if only one die is active.
