Product details
Overview
PMP5201Y-QX 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 VBE1−VBE2 matching and 0.98–1.02 hFE1/hFE2 ratio - designed for precision current mirroring and differential amplification in automotive signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMP5201Y-QX datasheet, PMP5201Y-QX pinout, PMP5201Y-QX application, or PMP5201Y-QX equivalent, this device delivers verified AEC-Q101-qualified matching performance, thermal resistance of 416 K/W (per device), and application-optimized pinout for low-parasitic PCB layout in analog front-ends and sensor interface modules.
Technical Context
This dual PNP transistor integrates two electrically matched transistors on a single die to minimize process-induced parameter variation. Matching is specified at VCE = −5 V, IC = −2 mA, Tamb = 25 °C for both hFE (0.98–1.02) and VBE (±2 mV), enabling high-accuracy biasing without external trimming.
The SOT363-3 package supports reflow and wave soldering with defined footprint dimensions (2.2 mm × 1.35 mm), and its pinout - B1, B2, C2, E2, E1, C1 - places emitter-collector pairs diagonally to reduce crosstalk in mirror configurations and simplify routing in differential pair layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V per transistor: maximum safe collector-emitter voltage under open-base condition for automotive-grade operation. |
| IC | −100 mA per transistor: continuous DC collector current rating defining usable dynamic range in mirror or amplifier stages. |
| hFE | 200–450 at VCE = −5 V, IC = −2 mA: ensures stable gain control and predictable current transfer in feedback loops. |
| VBE1−VBE2 | ±2 mV at VCE = −5 V, IC = −2 mA: enables <0.1% current error in precision current mirrors without calibration. |
| hFE1/hFE2 | 0.98–1.02: guarantees ≤2% mismatch in current gain between transistors, critical for common-mode rejection in differential pairs. |
| Rth(j-a) | 416 K/W per device: thermal resistance on FR4 PCB defines power derating limits up to 300 mW total dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) plastic surface-mount package: 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 6-pin configuration with transparent top view and pin 1 index marker.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | B1 | Base of transistor TR1 - routed separately to avoid coupling with TR2 base for independent bias control. |
| 2 | B2 | Base of transistor TR2 - positioned adjacent to B1 to support matched bias network layout. |
| 3 | C2 | Collector of TR2 - diagonally opposite E1 to minimize parasitic capacitance in current mirror output paths. |
| 4 | E2 | Emitter of TR2 - placed next to C2 to enable compact emitter-follower or cascode configurations. |
| 5 | E1 | Emitter of TR1 - diagonally opposite C2 to reduce inter-transistor coupling in differential pair implementations. |
| 6 | C1 | Collector of TR1 - positioned opposite E2 to balance trace lengths and symmetry in mirror layouts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current gain matching | hFE1/hFE2 = 0.98–1.02 ensures ≤2% gain mismatch, directly supporting >50 dB common-mode rejection in differential amplifiers. |
| Base-emitter voltage matching | VBE1−VBE2 = ±2 mV enables sub-0.1% current error in mirror applications without trimming resistors or feedback compensation. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Qualified for automotive use per Stress Test Qualification for Discrete Semiconductors, confirming reliability under temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD stress. |
| Application-optimized pinout | Diagonal C1/E2 and C2/E1 placement minimizes layout-induced asymmetry, reducing mismatch in high-frequency differential pair implementations. |
Applications
| Current Mirror | Differential Amplifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Precision bias current generation for op-amp input stages or sensor excitation circuits in automotive ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual PNP transistor pair acting as matched current source/sink with fixed ratio determined by external resistor scaling.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Matched PNP pair forming active load and input differential pair in folded-cascode topology. Use Value: 0.98–1.02 hFE ratio maintains >50 dB CMRR over −40 °C to +125 °C without trimming components. |
| Temperature-Stable Reference | Automotive Sensor Interface |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Matched transistors generating ΔVBE voltage proportional to absolute temperature for analog-to-digital conversion. Use Value: Tight VBE matching reduces thermal drift contribution to <10 ppm/°C, meeting ASIL-B reference stability requirements. |
Use Scenario: Signal conditioning front-end for Hall-effect position sensors in EPS (electric power steering) modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Differential pair amplifying low-level magnetic field signals while rejecting common-mode noise from motor switching. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and 150 °C junction rating ensure uninterrupted operation during under-hood thermal transients. |
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 vs −50 V), no guaranteed hFE matching (typical only), no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Not suitable for automotive safety-critical current mirrors; acceptable for consumer-grade differential amplifiers. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs matching precision and automotive qualification requirements. |
| MBT3906DW1T1G | Same SOT363-3 package, but only VBE matching specified (±5 mV), no hFE ratio guarantee, AEC-Q101 qualified. | Acceptable for less demanding current mirrors where <0.25% error is tolerable, but insufficient for high-CMRR amplifier inputs. | Choose when VBE matching suffices and hFE ratio tolerance can be relaxed to ±5%. |
Compared with BC847BPDW1T3G and MBT3906DW1T1G, PMP5201Y-QX uniquely provides both hFE ratio (0.98–1.02) and VBE (±2 mV) matching under AEC-Q101, enabling single-component solutions for ASIL-B–compliant analog signal chains without external trimming.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for PMP5201Y-QX?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, validated per AEC-Q101 test conditions. Operation above this limit risks permanent degradation of hFE matching and VBE tracking. Derating curves in the datasheet show allowable power dissipation decreases linearly above 25 °C ambient, with Rth(j-a) = 416 K/W on standard FR4 PCB.
Is PMP5201Y-QX pin-compatible with other SOT363-3 dual transistors?
Yes - PMP5201Y-QX uses the industry-standard TSSOP6 (SOT363-3) footprint with 0.65 mm pitch and identical mechanical outline. Pin assignments (B1, B2, C2, E2, E1, C1) match the JEDEC MO-178AC specification, ensuring direct PCB compatibility with BC847BPDW1T3G and MBT3906DW1T1G.
How does the hFE matching specification apply across temperature?
The hFE1/hFE2 ratio of 0.98–1.02 is guaranteed at Tamb = 25 °C per datasheet Table 4. While not explicitly specified over full temperature range, typical data (Fig. 2) shows parallel hFE vs. IC curves for both transistors across −55 °C to +100 °C, indicating stable matching behavior under thermal stress.
Can PMP5201Y-QX be used in linear regulator pass elements?
No - PMP5201Y-QX is optimized for small-signal matching, not power handling. Its −100 mA IC rating and 300 mW total Ptot limit it to bias, mirroring, and amplification roles. For linear regulator pass devices, discrete PNP transistors with higher VCEO, IC, and SOA ratings (e.g., MJD2955) are required.
