Product details
Overview
PQMD10 from Nexperia is an NPN/PNP dual resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in a DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) package, integrating built-in bias resistors R1 = 2.2 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ. It delivers 100 mA output current per transistor, supports ±50 V collector-emitter voltage, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use in low-current peripheral driver circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PQMD10 datasheet, PQMD10 pinout, PQMD10 application, or PQMD10 equivalent, this device serves as a space-optimized, component-count-reducing replacement for discrete NPN+PNP + bias resistor combinations in digital control interfaces, IC input drivers, and mobile power management subsystems.
Technical Context
The PQMD10 integrates two monolithically matched transistors - one NPN (TR1) and one PNP (TR2) - each with dedicated on-die base bias networks. R1 connects base to input, R2 connects base to emitter, enabling single-resistor logic-level drive without external components.
Its dual-channel architecture supports complementary switching in level-shifting, push-pull output stages, and bidirectional signal conditioning. Thermal resistance is 357 K/W (per device, FR4 PCB), and junction temperature is rated to 150 °C, confirming suitability for thermally constrained automotive cabin modules and portable electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V max - supports rail-to-rail operation in 3.3 V/5 V/12 V digital I/O domains |
| IO | 100 mA per transistor - drives LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs directly |
| R1 | 2.2 kΩ ±30% - sets base current for predictable saturation at standard logic levels |
| R2/R1 ratio | 21 ±24% - ensures stable bias point across temperature and process variation |
| VCE(sat) | 100 mV max at IC = 5 mA, IB = 0.25 mA - enables low-loss switching in battery-powered systems |
| fT | 230 MHz (NPN), 180 MHz (PNP) - sufficient for high-speed digital interface buffering up to ~50 MHz |
| Ptot | 350 mW per device - allows dual-channel operation within thermal limits on standard FR4 PCB |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216), ultra-thin 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.37 mm, leadless, thermal-enhanced, 0.35 mm pitch.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 | Emiter connection for NPN transistor TR1 - common reference for input stage |
| 2 | I1 | Base input for NPN transistor TR1 - accepts TTL/CMOS logic signals directly |
| 3 | O2 | Collector output for PNP transistor TR2 - active-low switching node |
| 4 | GND2 | Emiter connection for PNP transistor TR2 - independent ground return path |

| 0.37 mm profile | Enables placement under connectors or in stacked PCB assemblies where height is <0.4 mm |
| Reduced pick-and-place cost | Single placement replaces four discrete parts (2x transistors + 2x resistors), lowering SMT line time |
| Matched R1/R2 ratio | Ensures consistent turn-on/off thresholds between NPN and PNP channels for balanced push-pull timing |
| FR4-compatible thermal performance | Rth(j-a) = 357 K/W enables full 100 mA per channel without heatsinking on standard PCB |
Applications

| Smartwatch Display Backlight Driver | Industrial Sensor Interface Level Shifter |
|
Use Scenario: PWM-controlling white LED backlight strings in space-constrained wearable displays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN channel sinks LED current; PNP channel sources bias for current-sense amplifier reference. Use Value: 100 mA rating supports up to 3 parallel LEDs; 0.37 mm height avoids interference with touch sensor stackup. |
Use Scenario: Translating 1.8 V sensor outputs to 3.3 V MCU inputs in factory-floor environmental monitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP channel pulls up MCU input; NPN channel clamps overvoltage transients via built-in R1/R2 network.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual RET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PQMH10 | NPN/NPN complement (not NPN/PNP); identical R1/R2 values and package | Suitable only for dual-sourcing or push-pull NPN-only topologies | Select when both channels require NPN polarity and shared emitter configuration |
| NSVD20101MUTAG | PNP/NPN RET in SOT-363; R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ; higher VCEO = 60 V | Larger footprint (2.1 mm × 1.25 mm); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Choose for non-automotive designs needing higher voltage margin and legacy SMT compatibility |
Compared with PQMH10, PQMD10 enables true complementary switching in half-bridge configurations; versus NSVD20101MUTAG, it offers 45% smaller area, AEC-Q101 compliance, and tighter R1 tolerance - critical for timing-critical automotive body electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating ambient temperature for PQMD10 in continuous operation?
The PQMD10 is rated for continuous operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient temperature. At full 100 mA per channel, derating begins above +75 °C per the 350 mW per-device power curve on FR4 PCB; sustained 150 °C operation requires ≤40 mA per transistor.
Can PQMD10 replace discrete transistors and resistors in existing designs without layout changes?
Yes - the DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) footprint matches industry-standard 0402-sized passive placements. Its 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm outline and 0.35 mm pitch allow direct substitution into layouts designed for dual-SOT-323 or quad-SOT-23 footprints using adapter stencil apertures, provided thermal copper pour is maintained.
How does the built-in R2/R1 ratio affect switching speed and noise immunity?
The 21 ±24% R2/R1 ratio sets the base-emitter feedback factor, stabilizing DC bias against β variation and reducing sensitivity to supply ripple. Measured VI(on)/VI(off) hysteresis is 0.15 V typical, improving noise margin in noisy automotive environments without adding external Schmitt triggers.
Is PQMD10 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the device is qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C (MSL1 per J-STD-020). The recommended solder profile uses 60–90 s above 220 °C, with ramp rates ≤3 °C/s, matching standard Type 3/4 no-clean paste specifications and verified with the footprint in Figure 21 of the datasheet.
