Product details
Overview
PQMH13 from Nexperia is an NPN/NPN resistor-equipped double transistor (RET) in a DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) package, integrating two matched NPN transistors with built-in bias resistors R1 = 4.7 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ. It delivers 100 mA output current per transistor, supports 50 V VCEO, and targets space-constrained digital interface and peripheral driver applications in mobile and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the PQMH13 datasheet, PQMH13 pinout, PQMH13 application, or PQMH13 equivalent, this device serves as a compact, low-height (0.37 mm) replacement for discrete transistor-resistor combinations in level-shifting, IC input control, and low-current switching circuits where component count reduction and PCB area savings are critical.
Technical Context
The PQMH13 integrates two independent NPN transistors on a single die, each with dedicated base biasing via internal R1–R2 networks. Its dual-transistor topology enables cascaded or parallel switching without external resistors, reducing layout complexity and improving signal integrity in high-density designs.
Each transistor exhibits DC current gain (hFE) ≥100 at IC = 10 mA and VCE = 5 V, VCE(sat) ≤100 mV at IC = 5 mA/IB = 0.25 mA, and transition frequency fT = 230 MHz - confirming suitability for medium-speed digital switching up to ~100 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Supports rail-to-rail operation up to 5 V logic with margin; safe for 3.3 V/5 V systems. |
| IO | 100 mA per transistor - Sufficient to drive LED indicators, small relays, or logic inputs directly. |
| R1 | 4.7 kΩ ±27% - Sets base current for predictable turn-on threshold in standard CMOS/TTL interfacing. |
| R2/R1 ratio | 10 ±20% - Ensures stable bias network feedback for consistent saturation and noise immunity. |
| Ptot (per device) | 350 mW at Tamb ≤25 °C - Enables dual-transistor operation under moderate thermal load on FR4 PCB. |
| fT | 230 MHz - Confirms usable bandwidth for fast digital edge transitions and pulse-width modulation signals. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤100 mV at IC/IB = 20 - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during sustained on-state operation. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) is a leadless, ultra-thin (0.37 mm height), 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm surface-mount package with 0.35 mm pitch and thermal enhancement via exposed pad (not electrically connected). Designed for high-density routing and automated placement in mobile and wearables.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 | Emiter connection for TR1 - referenced ground node for first transistor's current path. |
| 2 | I1 | Base input for TR1 - accepts logic-level drive; internally biased by R1/R2 network. |
| 3 | O2 | Collector output for TR2 - active-high switch output; requires external pull-up or load connection. |
| 4 | GND2 | Emiter connection for TR2 - independent ground reference for second transistor. |
| 5 | I2 | Base input for TR2 - isolated control input enabling independent switching of TR2. |
| 6 | O1 | Collector output for TR1 - primary switching node; electrically identical to Pin 7 (O1 is duplicated). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual NPN RET integration | Reduces bill-of-materials by eliminating four external bias resistors and two discrete transistors. |
| 0.37 mm profile | Enables use in ultra-thin devices (e.g., smart bands, hearing aids) where Z-height is constrained. |
| Matched R1/R2 ratio | Ensures consistent turn-on behavior across both transistors, simplifying timing-critical logic interfacing. |
| FR4-compatible thermal design | 357 K/W Rth(j-a) (per device) allows operation up to 125 °C ambient with standard PCB layout. |
| 100 mA per channel | Supports direct driving of multiple GPIO loads or small-signal loads without buffer amplification. |
Applications
| Mobile Peripheral Driver | IC Input Control |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving LED status indicators and tactile feedback actuators in smartphones and tablets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and current amplification stage between baseband processor GPIO and load. Use Value: Eliminates need for six discrete components (2× transistors + 4× resistors), saving 0.8 mm² PCB area. |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling power domains or configuring I/O states on SoC or PMIC inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital enable switch with defined input threshold and fast turn-on (<100 ns propagation delay implied by fT). Use Value: Built-in bias ensures reliable logic-level compatibility with 1.8 V/3.3 V I/O without external pull-ups. |
| Low-Current Signal Switching | Compact Logic-Level Translation |
|
Use Scenario: Isolating sensor interrupt lines or multiplexing serial bus signals in IoT edge nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional signal gating element with low leakage (ICEO ≤5 µA at 150 °C). Use Value: Dual-channel independence allows simultaneous control of two interrupt sources with shared footprint. |
Use Scenario: Converting 1.2 V FPGA I/O outputs to 3.3 V microcontroller inputs in mixed-voltage subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-high level translator using saturated NPN switching with defined VI(on)/VI(off) thresholds. Use Value: VI(on) = 0.9–1.3 V and VI(off) = 0.5–0.6 V ensure clean logic discrimination across temperature (-40 to 100 °C). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-NPN resistor-equipped transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PQMD13 | NPN/PNP complement with same R1/R2 values; different polarity pairing limits use in same-polarity logic chains. | Suitable only where complementary switching (e.g., push-pull) is required; not drop-in for NPN/NPN topologies. | Select when designing bidirectional or totem-pole output stages requiring matched bias networks. |
| EMH11T2R | Same DFN1010B-6 package but R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 100 kΩ; higher input impedance reduces drive current demand. | Better suited for ultra-low-power MCU GPIOs; lower gain margin may affect noise immunity in noisy environments. | Prefer when system supply current budget is <10 µA per channel and VCC ≤1.8 V. |
Compared with PQMD13 and EMH11T2R, PQMH13 offers optimal balance of drive strength (100 mA), low saturation voltage (≤100 mV), and standardized 4.7 kΩ/47 kΩ bias for mainstream 3.3 V logic interfacing - making it the default choice for general-purpose dual-NPN digital switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PQMH13?
The PQMH13 has a junction temperature limit of 150 °C and an ambient operating range of −55 °C to +150 °C. Thermal resistance is 357 K/W (per device on FR4 PCB), allowing full 100 mA operation up to +125 °C ambient when mounted per standard footprint per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Can PQMH13 be used in automotive applications?
No. The PQMH13 is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified in its revision history (v.2, October 2024). It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade reliability testing, and extended temperature validation. For automotive use, Nexperia recommends the PQMH13-Q series or equivalent qualified RETs.
How are Pins 6 and 7 electrically related?
Pins 6 (O1) and 7 (O1) are internally bonded to the same collector node of TR1 - they are duplicate terminals for layout flexibility. Both must be connected to the same net; splitting them causes no functional benefit and risks solder joint reliability issues.
Is the R2 resistor connected to GND or open?
R2 is internally connected between the base and emitter of each transistor (standard RET configuration), forming a feedback resistor that stabilizes bias. It is not tied to external GND - the emitter terminals (Pins 1 and 4) serve as the local reference points for their respective R2 networks.
