Product details
Overview
PMP5201Y-QF from Nexperia is a matched PNP/PNP double transistor in SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package, rated for −45 V VCEO, −100 mA IC, and 200–450 hFE per transistor, with ±2 mV VBE matching and 0.98–1.02 hFE ratio matching at −5 V/−2 mA - deployed in automotive-qualified current mirror and differential amplifier circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMP5201Y-QF datasheet, PMP5201Y-QF pinout, PMP5201Y-QF application, or PMP5201Y-QF equivalent, this device supports precision analog functions requiring tight transistor parameter matching, AEC-Q101 compliance, and thermal stability up to 150 °C junction temperature in space-constrained SMT layouts.
Technical Context
This dual PNP transistor integrates two electrically matched devices on a single die-level substrate, enabling precise current mirroring and differential pair operation without inter-device layout asymmetry. Its matching specifications are guaranteed under −5 V VCE, −2 mA IC, and 25 °C ambient conditions.
The device operates with −45 V collector-emitter breakdown, −100 mA continuous collector current, and exhibits low saturation voltages (VCEsat ≤ −400 mV at −100 mA/−5 mA drive), supporting high-efficiency biasing in low-voltage automotive sensor front-ends and power management feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines upper rail limit in high-side current sensing. |
| IC | −100 mA - Continuous collector current per transistor; sets usable dynamic range for mirror loads and amplifier quiescent bias. |
| hFE (per transistor) | 200–450 at −5 V/−2 mA - DC current gain range determines base drive sizing and loop gain stability in analog feedback networks. |
| hFE1/hFE2 | 0.98–1.02 - Tight current gain ratio matching enables <0.5% error in mirrored current transfer across temperature. |
| VBE1−VBE2 | ±2 mV at −5 V/−2 mA - Base-emitter voltage matching ensures sub-millivolt offset in differential pair inputs. |
| Ptot (device) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - Total dissipation limit governs thermal derating in FR4 PCB layouts with standard copper area. |
| fT | 100–175 MHz - Transition frequency supports stable operation in audio-band and low-MHz signal conditioning stages. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) plastic surface-mount package: 1.3 mm × 2.2 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.15 mm height, FR4-compatible reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | B1 | Base of transistor TR1 - referenced to E1/C1 for independent bias control in mirror or diff-pair configuration. |
| 2 | B2 | Base of transistor TR2 - electrically isolated but process-matched to B1; critical for symmetry in differential amplifiers. |
| 3 | C2 | Collector of TR2 - output node in current mirror or active load in differential pair; shares thermal path with C1. |
| 4 | E2 | Emitter of TR2 - common emitter node in differential pair; tied to reference rail or current sink in mirror topology. |
| 5 | E1 | Emitter of TR1 - primary reference emitter in current mirror; must be held at fixed potential relative to B1. |
| 6 | C1 | Collector of TR1 - input current node in mirror; directly connected to source or bias resistor in precision current-setting applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current gain matching | hFE1/hFE2 = 0.98–1.02 - enables <2% current mismatch in mirror circuits without external trimming. |
| Base-emitter voltage matching | VBE1−VBE2 = ±2 mV - reduces input offset in differential amplifiers to sub-millivolt level at room temperature. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Qualified for automotive applications - validated for temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per AEC stress test requirements. |
| Application-optimized pinout | Adjacent emitter-collector pairs (E1/C1 and E2/C2) minimize parasitic coupling in high-gain analog layouts. |
| Thermal resistance (j-a) | 416 K/W (device) - allows 300 mW dissipation on standard FR4 PCB without forced airflow or heatsinking. |
Applications
| Current Mirror | Differential Amplifier |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar matched PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BPDW1T3G | Lower VCEO (−45 V same), but only 0.95–1.05 hFE matching and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Not qualified for automotive use; suitable for industrial/commercial current mirrors only. | Select if AEC-Q101 is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs matching precision. |
| MBT3906DW1T3G | Same package and AEC-Q101 rating, but ±5 mV VBE matching and no guaranteed hFE ratio spec. | Acceptable for less demanding differential pairs where offset <5 mV is tolerable. | Choose when tighter VBE matching is not critical but automotive qualification remains mandatory. |
Compared with BC847BPDW1T3G and MBT3906DW1T3G, PMP5201Y-QF delivers superior VBE matching (±2 mV vs. ±5 mV) and tighter hFE ratio (0.98–1.02 vs. 0.95–1.05), making it optimal for high-accuracy current mirrors and low-offset differential amplifiers in automotive ECUs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for PMP5201Y-QF?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, verified per AEC-Q101 thermal stress testing. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient, with total device power dissipation limited to 300 mW on standard FR4 PCB - corresponding to ~120 °C max junction at 85 °C ambient per thermal resistance of 416 K/W.
Does PMP5201Y-QF support hot-swap or in-circuit biasing?
Yes - its −45 V VCEO and −50 V VCBO ratings allow safe operation during power-rail sequencing in automotive modules. The matched structure maintains symmetry even under transient bias conditions, provided base-emitter reverse voltage stays within −5 V VEBO limit.
How is the pinout optimized for differential amplifier layout?
Pins 1 (B1) and 2 (B2) are adjacent, as are pins 5 (E1) and 4 (E2), enabling symmetrical routing of base and emitter traces. Collector pins 6 (C1) and 3 (C2) are placed diagonally opposite to minimize capacitive coupling between active nodes in high-gain configurations.
Can PMP5201Y-QF replace discrete PNP pairs in existing designs?
Yes - the SOT363-3 footprint matches industry-standard dual-transistor packages, and pin assignments align with common differential/mirror schematics. Layout changes are minimal; however, verify VBE and hFE matching impact on offset and gain before full qualification.
