Product details
Overview
PIMD2 from Nexperia is a resistor-equipped double transistor (RET) integrating one NPN and one PNP silicon bipolar transistor with built-in bias resistors (R1 = R2 = 22 kΩ) in a single TSOP6 (SOT457) package. It delivers 100 mA output current per transistor, supports ±50 V collector-emitter voltage, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive signal-level switching applications such as digital I/O buffering and peripheral driver stages.
For engineers reviewing the PIMD2 datasheet, PIMD2 pinout, PIMD2 application, or PIMD2 equivalent, this device serves as a space- and BOM-optimized replacement for discrete NPN+PNP pairs in low-current digital interface circuits-especially where simplified biasing, reduced PCB area, and automotive-grade reliability are required.
Technical Context
The PIMD2 integrates two complementary transistors on a single die: TR1 (NPN) with VCEO = 50 V, hFE ≥ 60 at IC = 5 mA, and fT = 230 MHz; TR2 (PNP) with symmetric VCEO = −50 V, hFE ≥ 60, and fT = 180 MHz. Both feature matched 22 kΩ input bias resistors (R1/R2 ratio = 1.0 ± 0.2), enabling direct logic-level drive without external base resistors.
Its TSOP6 package provides six terminals with defined roles: dual emitters (GND1/GND2), dual bases (I1/I2), and dual collectors (O1/O2), supporting independent or complementary switching configurations. Thermal resistance is 313 K/W (per device, FR4 PCB), and junction temperature is rated to 150 °C-enabling operation in under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | ±50 V - Supports rail-to-rail signal swing in 3.3 V/5 V/12 V digital systems without breakdown risk. |
| IO | 100 mA per transistor - Sufficient to drive LEDs, small relays, logic inputs, or MCU GPIOs directly. |
| R1 / R2 | 22 kΩ ±30% - Enables direct connection to 3.3 V/5 V CMOS outputs without external bias components. |
| hFE | ≥60 at IC = 5 mA - Ensures reliable saturation with low base drive current (e.g., ~83 µA for 5 mA IC). |
| VCE(sat) | ≤150 mV at IC = 10 mA, IB = 0.5 mA - Minimizes power loss and heat generation in switching mode. |
| fT | 230 MHz (TR1), 180 MHz (TR2) - Supports high-speed digital switching up to ~10–20 MHz edge rates. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP6 (SOT457), surface-mount plastic package with 6 leads, 1.3 mm max height, standard footprint for reflow/wave soldering per Nexperia's sot457_fr/sot457_fw guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND2 | Emiter of PNP transistor (TR2); common reference for TR2 bias and output path. |
| 2 | I2 | Base input of PNP transistor (TR2); accepts logic-low signal to activate TR2. |
| 3 | O1 | Collector output of NPN transistor (TR1); sinks current when I1 is high. |
| 4 | GND1 | Emiter of NPN transistor (TR1); common reference for TR1 bias and output path. |
| 5 | I1 | Base input of NPN transistor (TR1); accepts logic-high signal to activate TR1. |
| 6 | O2 | Collector output of PNP transistor (TR2); sources current when I2 is low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive ambient temperatures (−40 °C to +150 °C) and mechanical stress requirements. |
| Dual complementary RET topology | Single-package NPN+PNP pair eliminates layout mismatch and reduces interconnect parasitics. |
| Matched internal bias resistors | R1 = R2 = 22 kΩ with ≤20% ratio tolerance enables consistent turn-on thresholds across both transistors. |
| Low VCE(sat) and high hFE | Ensures full saturation with minimal base drive, reducing MCU GPIO loading and improving noise margin. |
| TSOP6 footprint compatibility | Standard 0.95 mm pitch, 3.1 × 1.7 mm body - fits high-density routing and automated assembly. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module I/O Buffer | Industrial PLC Digital Input Stage |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Level-shifting and isolation between 12 V vehicle bus signals and 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs in door control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN (TR1) sinks switch closure current; PNP (TR2) sources pull-up current for open-drain sensor interfaces.

Use Scenario: Conditioning 24 V industrial field signals into clean 5 V logic levels for FPGA or ARM-based controller inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as active clamping and current-limiting stage before Schmitt-trigger input buffers. Use Value: Built-in 22 kΩ bias resistors ensure stable threshold behavior across temperature (−40 °C to +85 °C). |
| USB-C Port Power Switch Control | Smart Home Sensor Hub Signal Conditioning |
|
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling VBUS path control MOSFETs using USB PD controller GPIOs with limited drive strength. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN (TR1) drives high-side gate driver enable; PNP (TR2) controls low-side discharge path. Use Value: 100 mA output capability safely handles gate charge currents up to 2 nF @ 1 MHz switching. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing passive analog sensors (e.g., thermistors, photoresistors) to ADC inputs via switched bias networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides precision-switched current sources/sinks for ratiometric measurement excitation. Use Value: Matched R1/R2 ensures identical timing and gain across dual-sensor channels in differential configurations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar resistor-equipped transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSVD2T114MZT1G | Single NPN RET (no PNP), R1 = 47 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ, VCEO = 50 V, IO = 100 mA | Only provides NPN functionality; requires separate PNP solution for complementary operation. | Select when only unidirectional sinking is needed and board space allows discrete pairing. |
| EMX11T2R | PNP+NPN RET in SOT-363, R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ, VCEO = 50 V, IO = 150 mA | Higher output current but lower input impedance (10 kΩ vs. 22 kΩ), increasing MCU drive load. | Prefer for higher-current loads (>100 mA) where GPIO drive strength exceeds 500 µA. |
Compared with NSVD2T114MZT1G and EMX11T2R, the PIMD2 uniquely offers matched NPN/PNP topology with 22 kΩ biasing optimized for 3.3 V/5 V logic drive, making it the only drop-in solution for dual-polarity digital interface consolidation in AEC-Q101-compliant designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PIMD2 in continuous use?
The PIMD2 has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) rating of 150 °C and an ambient operating range of −55 °C to +150 °C. When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (single-sided, 35 µm copper), its thermal resistance is 313 K/W, allowing continuous 100 mA operation up to +85 °C ambient with proper board layout and airflow.
Can PIMD2 be used in AC-coupled signal paths?
No-PIMD2 is a DC-coupled bipolar transistor device with fixed internal bias resistors. It is not designed for AC amplification or coupling. Its intended use is digital switching, level translation, and current buffering where DC bias stability and fast turn-on/turn-off are required.
How does the R2/R1 ratio affect switching behavior?
The R2/R1 ratio of 1.0 ± 0.2 ensures matched base current injection for both transistors, resulting in symmetrical VI(on) (1.7–2.5 V for TR1, −1.7 to −2.5 V for TR2) and consistent saturation characteristics. This symmetry minimizes timing skew in complementary output configurations.
Is PIMD2 pin-compatible with other TSOP6 RETs like PEMD2 or PUMD2?
No-PIMD2 uses a unique pin assignment (GND2-I2-O1-GND1-I1-O2) optimized for complementary dual-transistor operation. PEMD2 (dual NPN) and PUMD2 (dual PNP) share the same TSOP6 footprint but differ in internal topology and pin function; direct substitution would cause functional failure.
