Product details
Overview
PMP4201Y/DG/B2,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a matched dual NPN transistor in SOT363 (SC-88) package, designed for precision analog functions requiring tight parameter matching. It delivers hFE matching ratio ≥0.98, VBE matching ≤2 mV, and individual transistor VCEO = 45 V, IC = 100 mA - enabling high-fidelity current mirroring and differential amplification in space-constrained industrial and instrumentation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMP4201Y/DG/B2,115 datasheet, PMP4201Y/DG/B2,115 pinout, PMP4201Y/DG/B2,115 application, or PMP4201Y/DG/B2,115 equivalent, this device is selected specifically for matched-pair analog signal conditioning where thermal tracking, gain symmetry, and low-base-current error are critical - not as a general-purpose switching transistor.
Technical Context
This dual NPN transistor integrates two electrically isolated transistors on a single die within a thermally coupled SOT363 package, ensuring consistent junction temperature during operation. Its common-emitter configuration supports direct cascaded biasing, and the application-optimized pinout (pins 1/2 = bases, 3/6 = collectors, 4/5 = emitters) minimizes layout-induced mismatch in mirror and amplifier topologies.
The device operates with VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA test conditions for matching specifications, and exhibits fT ≥100 MHz at IC = 10 mA - confirming suitability for audio-frequency and low-speed precision analog feedback loops, not RF or high-speed digital switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - maximum collector-emitter voltage per transistor before breakdown; sets safe operating range for ±15 V rail applications. |
| IC | 100 mA - continuous collector current per transistor; supports medium-signal analog stages without derating at Tamb ≤25 °C. |
| hFE matching | ≥0.98 (hFE1/hFE2) - ensures ≤2% current gain asymmetry between transistors, critical for <1% error in current mirrors. |
| VBE matching | ≤2 mV - guarantees sub-millivolt base-emitter voltage offset, enabling <0.1% input-referred error in differential pairs. |
| fT | 100–250 MHz - transition frequency at IC = 10 mA; confirms stable operation up to ~10 MHz closed-loop bandwidth in amplifier designs. |
| Ptot (per device) | 300 mW - total power dissipation limit for both transistors combined on FR4 PCB; defines thermal headroom for continuous analog biasing. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363 (SC-88) plastic surface-mounted package, 6-lead, 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, with pin 1 index marked. Designed for reflow soldering only; thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 416 K/W (per device).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base TR1 | Controls first transistor; routed separately to avoid crosstalk in differential bias networks. |
| 2 | Base TR2 | Controls second transistor; symmetric layout with Pin 1 enables matched trace lengths for minimal VBE skew. |
| 3 | Collector TR2 | Output node of second transistor; adjacent to emitter TR2 (Pin 4) for compact current mirror loop area. |
| 4 | Emitter TR2 | Common emitter node for TR2; paired with Pin 3 to minimize parasitic inductance in high-gain paths. |
| 5 | Emitter TR1 | Common emitter node for TR1; placed opposite Pin 4 to support symmetrical current mirror routing. |
| 6 | Collector TR1 | Output node of first transistor; positioned diagonally across from Pin 3 to balance thermal coupling in matched operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current gain matching | hFE1/hFE2 ≥0.98 ensures ≤2% gain error in active loads and cascode current sources. |
| Base-emitter voltage matching | VBE1−VBE2 ≤2 mV enables sub-0.1% input offset in discrete op-amp input stages. |
| Fully isolated internal structure | Prevents leakage coupling between transistors, preserving DC accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces. |
| Application-optimized pinout | Pin arrangement minimizes PCB trace length asymmetry in current mirror layouts, reducing layout-induced mismatch. |
Applications
| Current Mirror | Differential Amplifier |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar matched dual NPN transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BPDW1T1G | hFE matching ratio unspecified; VBE matching not characterized; SOT363 package but no guaranteed monolithic matching. | Limited to non-critical biasing; unsuitable for precision current mirrors requiring <1% error. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs matching performance; verify lot-to-lot hFE spread in production. |
| MBT3904DW1T1G | Specified hFE min/max only (100–300); no VBE matching data; higher VCEO (40 V) but lower fT (300 MHz typical). | Acceptable for general-purpose differential pairs but lacks guaranteed matching for metrology-grade designs. | Use where thermal tracking is less critical than raw speed; requires external calibration for offset cancellation. |
Compared with BC847BPDW1T1G and MBT3904DW1T1G, PMP4201Y/DG/B2,115 uniquely provides factory-characterized hFE and VBE matching - delivering deterministic analog performance without post-layout trimming or binning.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is 150 °C, as defined in Table 6 of the NXP datasheet. Operation above this threshold risks permanent degradation of hFE matching and VBE symmetry. Derating is required above Tamb = 25 °C using Rth(j-a) = 416 K/W (per device) to ensure Tj remains within limit under full 300 mW dissipation.
Can PMP4201Y/DG/B2,115 be used in common-base configurations?
Yes - the fully isolated internal structure allows independent connection of each transistor's emitter, base, and collector. Common-base use is supported, though the datasheet characterizes matching only under common-emitter test conditions (VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA). Performance in common-base mode must be validated per application, as hFE matching does not directly translate to α matching.
Is the SOT363 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - the PMP4201Y/DG/B2,115 is manufactured in accordance with NXP's standard RoHS-compliant process. The SOT363 package uses matte tin (Sn) lead finish, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), permitting unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH.
How does the 2 mV VBE matching tolerance impact input offset in a differential pair?
When used as the input pair of a discrete differential amplifier with 1 mA tail current and 1 kΩ collector loads, the 2 mV VBE mismatch directly contributes ≈2 mV input-referred offset. This corresponds to <0.2% of full-scale for a 1 V output swing, making it suitable for 10-bit-equivalent precision without nulling circuitry.
