Product details
Overview
PQMD16 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified NPN/PNP dual resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in a DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) package, integrating two matched bias networks (R1 = 22 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ) for digital switching. It delivers 100 mA per transistor, supports ±50 V VCEO, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C ambient, enabling compact peripheral driver circuits in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the PQMD16 datasheet, PQMD16 pinout, PQMD16 application, or PQMD16 equivalent, this device serves as a space-optimized, bias-resistor-integrated replacement for discrete NPN+PNP pairs in low-current digital interface and IC input control-where reduced component count, 0.37 mm profile, and automotive-grade reliability are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The PQMD16 integrates two monolithically matched silicon transistors-one NPN and one PNP-each with dedicated on-die base bias resistors (R1 = 22 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ), forming a fully self-biased dual-channel switch. Its DFN1010B-6 package enables ultra-thin PCB integration while maintaining thermal resistance of 357 K/W (per device) on FR4.
It operates under AEC-Q101 stress qualification, supporting bidirectional logic-level interfacing: the NPN channel switches positive-side loads with VI(on) = 1.1 V (typ) at IC = 2 mA, while the PNP channel handles negative-side switching with VI(on) = –1.1 V (typ) and VCEsat ≤ 150 mV at IC = 10 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | ±50 V - Enables safe operation in 24 V automotive and industrial supply rails with margin. |
| IO | 100 mA per transistor - Sufficient to drive LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs without external current amplification. |
| R1 | 22 kΩ (15.4–28.6 kΩ) - Sets base current for predictable turn-on with standard CMOS/TTL logic outputs. |
| R2/R1 ratio | 2.13 (1.7–2.6) - Optimized for stable saturation and noise immunity in digital switching applications. |
| VCEsat | ≤150 mV at IC = 10 mA - Minimizes conduction loss and heat generation in always-on or PWM-driven loads. |
| Tamb range | –55 °C to +150 °C - Validated for under-hood automotive environments and industrial edge nodes. |
| Ptot (per device) | 350 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - Supports dual-transistor operation within thermal limits on standard FR4 PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216), 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.37 mm, leadless, thermal-enhanced ultra-thin plastic SMD package with 0.35 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 (emitter, TR1) | Common emitter reference for NPN transistor; connects to system ground or low-side return path. |
| 2 | I1 (base input, TR1) | Logic-controlled input for NPN transistor; internally biased via R1/R2 network to enable direct microcontroller drive. |
| 3 | O2 (collector, TR2) | Output collector of PNP transistor; sinks current when I2 is pulled low, suitable for high-side load switching. |
| 4 | GND2 (emitter, TR2) | Emitter connection for PNP transistor; tied to positive rail in high-side configuration or used as common reference. |
| 5 | I2 (base input, TR2) | Logic-controlled input for PNP transistor; polarity-inverted behavior allows complementary switching with TR1. |
| 6 | O1 (collector, TR1) | Output collector of NPN transistor; sources current to load when I1 is high, ideal for low-side switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in bias resistors (R1/R2) | Eliminates four external resistors per pair, reducing BOM count and layout area by >60% vs discrete solutions. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including door modules, lighting controls, and sensor interfaces requiring long-term reliability. |
| 0.37 mm package height | Enables use in ultra-thin portable and wearable electronics where Z-height constraints prohibit SOIC or SOT packages. |
| 100 mA output capability | Supports direct driving of status LEDs, small solenoids, and logic-level translators without additional gain stages. |
| Low VI(on)/VI(off) thresholds | VI(on) = 1.1 V (NPN) / –1.1 V (PNP) ensures robust switching with 1.8 V and 3.3 V MCUs without level-shifting circuitry. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Unit | Industrial Sensor Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual RET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSVD2101PT1G | Single-channel PNP RET (R1 = 47 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ); no integrated NPN; SOT-363 package (1.3 mm × 2.1 mm). | Larger footprint; requires separate NPN device for complementary operation; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification. | Select only when PNP-only function suffices and board space permits larger package. |
| EMH10T2R | Dual NPN RET (no PNP); R1 = 22 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ; same DFN1010B-6 package; AEC-Q101 qualified. | Cannot replace PQMD16 in applications requiring complementary (NPN+PNP) switching; limited to low-side-only topologies. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs needing only dual NPN functionality with identical footprint and reliability. |
Compared with NSVD2101PT1G and EMH10T2R, PQMD16 uniquely provides matched NPN+PNP channels in the smallest qualified footprint, enabling true complementary switching without layout compromise or qualification gaps-critical for space-constrained automotive and portable systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per transistor in PQMD16?
The PQMD16 supports up to 100 mA DC output current per transistor under recommended operating conditions. This rating is validated at Tamb ≤ 25 °C with derating applied above that temperature, and it reflects the device's ability to sustain switching of LEDs, small relays, and logic inputs without external gain stages or heatsinking.
Does PQMD16 require external base resistors for operation?
No. PQMD16 integrates two complete bias networks: R1 = 22 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ per transistor. These on-die resistors allow direct connection to 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V logic outputs without external components-verified by Nexperia's test conditions showing II1 = 90 μA and II2 = 140 μA at rated VCE.
Can PQMD16 be used in high-frequency switching applications?
The PQMD16 is optimized for digital switching-not RF or high-speed signal routing. Its fT is 230 MHz (NPN) and 180 MHz (PNP), but transition frequency is not characterized for switching speed; typical turn-on delay is unspecified. Use is recommended for DC to ~100 kHz PWM or static control, not data-line signaling.
How does the DFN1010B-6 package affect thermal performance?
The DFN1010B-6 package delivers Rth(j-a) = 357 K/W (per device) on standard FR4 PCBs, enabling 350 mW total dissipation at 25 °C ambient. Its exposed copper pad (visible in Fig. 20) must be soldered to a thermal land; omitting this reduces power handling by >40% and risks junction overheating above 85 °C ambient.
