Product details
Overview
PMP4201Y from Nexperia is a matched NPN/NPN double transistor in SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and DC current gain matching ratio hFE1/hFE2 ≥ 0.98 at 2 mA. It delivers ≤2 mV base-emitter voltage mismatch (VBE1−VBE2) and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive current mirror and differential amplifier circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMP4201Y datasheet, PMP4201Y pinout, PMP4201Y application, or PMP4201Y equivalent, this device supports precision analog functions requiring tight transistor matching, thermal tracking, and space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive and industrial signal conditioning systems.
Technical Context
The PMP4201Y integrates two monolithically matched NPN transistors on a single die to minimize parametric variation across temperature and process. Its pinout (B1, B2, C2, E2, E1, C1) enables direct implementation of current mirrors without external routing asymmetry.
It operates with VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA at Tamb = 25 °C for matching characterization, and maintains hFE = 200–450 per transistor with fT ≥ 100 MHz, supporting high-fidelity small-signal amplification and bias generation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in linear and switching applications. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous collector current per transistor; sets upper limit for bias current and load drive capability. |
| hFE1/hFE2 | ≥ 0.98 - Ratio of smaller-to-larger DC current gain; ensures <2% gain mismatch for balanced current division. |
| VBE1−VBE2 | ≤ 2 mV - Absolute base-emitter voltage difference; enables sub-0.1% error in current mirror output accuracy. |
| fT | 100–250 MHz - Transition frequency at IC = 10 mA; supports stable operation up to mid-VHF analog signal paths. |
| Rth(j-a) (per device) | 416 K/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 PCB; informs derating requirements for 300 mW total power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) plastic surface-mounted package: 1.35 mm × 2.2 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 0.45 mm max height, optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering on dense PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | B1 | Base of transistor TR1 - Direct control node for first matched NPN; requires low-impedance drive for gain stability. |
| 2 | B2 | Base of transistor TR2 - Paired input for differential or mirrored bias; symmetry with Pin 1 minimizes layout-induced mismatch. |
| 3 | C2 | Collector of TR2 - Output node in current mirror configuration; routed adjacent to E2 for minimal loop area. |
| 4 | E2 | Emitter of TR2 - Common emitter node in differential pair; shared thermal path with E1 enhances tracking. |
| 5 | E1 | Emitter of TR1 - Reference emitter in current mirror; tied to same net as E2 to enforce identical VBE conditions. |
| 6 | C1 | Collector of TR1 - Primary output in mirror topology; electrically symmetric to Pin 3 for balanced current sourcing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current gain matching | hFE1/hFE2 ≥ 0.98 ensures ≤2% current error in mirror configurations without trimming resistors. |
| Base-emitter voltage matching | VBE1−VBE2 ≤ 2 mV enables <0.1% output current deviation over temperature in precision bias networks. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood environments including 150 °C junction temperature and humidity testing. |
| Application-optimized pinout | Adjacent emitter pins (E1/E2) and interleaved base/collector terminals reduce parasitic inductance in high-speed analog layouts. |
Applications
| Current Mirror | Differential Amplifier |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar matched NPN transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PMP4501Y | NPN/NPN complement with identical matching specs but different marking code and minor packaging revision history. | Same current mirror/differential use cases; validated in identical AEC-Q101 test flow. | Select when legacy design documentation references PMP4501Y or when sourcing from alternate wafer lots with updated traceability. |
| PMP5201Y | PNP/PNP matched pair - complementary polarity, same package and matching tolerance (hFE1/hFE2 ≥ 0.98). | Required for PNP-based current mirrors or level-shifting topologies where NPN cannot be used. | Choose only when circuit topology mandates PNP devices; not interchangeable in NPN-biased designs. |
Compared with PMP4501Y, the PMP4201Y offers identical electrical matching and automotive qualification but differs in manufacturing site coding and revision-controlled package definition (SOT363-3 vs earlier SOT363); versus PMP5201Y, it provides opposite polarity with no functional overlap in NPN-only circuits.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The PMP4201Y has a rated maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 150 °C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. Operation above this limit risks permanent degradation of hFE matching and VBE tracking. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient based on Rth(j-a) = 416 K/W for the full device on FR4 PCB.
Is the PMP4201Y pin-compatible with older PMP4201 variants?
Yes - the PMP4201Y uses the same SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package outline and pin assignment as prior revisions, including PMP4201V_G_Y_4. The change from SOT363 to SOT363-3 in v.6 was a dimensional refinement with no impact on footprint or pin function.
How does the hFE1/hFE2 matching ratio affect current mirror accuracy?
A ratio ≥ 0.98 means the smaller hFE is at least 98% of the larger one, limiting current error to ≤2% in ideal mirror configurations. Real-world error remains below 0.5% over temperature due to monolithic integration and matched thermal coefficients of VBE and hFE.
Can the PMP4201Y be used in linear regulator pass elements?
No - its 100 mA IC rating and 200 mW per-transistor power dissipation limit it to low-power bias and signal-path roles. It lacks the SOA robustness, safe operating area curves, and thermal design margin required for pass transistor duty in regulators.
