Product details
Overview
PRMD10Z from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified NPN/PNP resistor-equipped double transistor (RET) in a DFN1412-6 (SOT1268) package, delivering 50 V VCEO, 100 mA output current per transistor, and integrated bias resistors (R1 = 2.2 kΩ, R2/R1 = 21) for direct logic-level drive. It serves as a space- and cost-optimized replacement for discrete BC847/BC857 pairs in digital switching circuits within automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the PRMD10Z datasheet, PRMD10Z pinout, PRMD10Z application, or PRMD10Z equivalent, this device supports dual-channel level-shifting and load switching with verified thermal performance on FR4 PCBs, low 0.47 mm profile, and guaranteed operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient.
Technical Context
The PRMD10Z integrates one NPN and one PNP silicon transistor with monolithically embedded base bias networks-R1 (input resistor) and R2 (feedback resistor)-enabling single-resistor drive without external bias components. Each transistor operates independently with open-base VCEO = 50 V and IO = 100 mA rating.
Its DFN1412-6 package features six exposed terminals with GND-shared emitter configuration (Pin 1 = GND1/TR1, Pin 4 = GND2/TR2), supporting high-density routing and thermal dissipation up to 480 mW total device power at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V automotive supply rails with margin. |
| IO | 100 mA - Continuous output current per transistor; sufficient for driving LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs. |
| hFE | 100 - DC current gain at VCE = 5 V, IC = 10 mA; ensures reliable saturation with low base drive. |
| R1 | 2.2 kΩ - Integrated input bias resistor; sets base current for logic-compatible turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers. |
| R2/R1 | 21 - Fixed feedback ratio; stabilizes operating point against temperature and process variation. |
| VCE(sat) | 100 mV - Collector-emitter saturation voltage at IC = 5 mA, IB = 0.25 mA; minimizes conduction loss in switching mode. |
| Ptot (device) | 480 mW - Total power dissipation limit on FR4 PCB; supports sustained dual-transistor operation without heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1412-6 (SOT1268) is a leadless, thermally enhanced ultra-thin surface-mount package measuring 1.4 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.47 mm with six copper-exposed terminals and 0.5 mm max height. Its bottom-side thermal pad improves heat transfer to PCB copper planes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 (emitter) | Emitter terminal of NPN transistor TR1; common reference for first channel. |
| 2 | I1 (base input) | Input node for TR1 NPN; connected internally to R1 and R2 network for self-biasing. |
| 3 | O2 (collector) | Collector terminal of PNP transistor TR2; active-low switching output. |
| 4 | GND2 (emitter) | Emitter terminal of PNP transistor TR2; common reference for second channel. |
| 5 | I2 (base input) | Input node for TR2 PNP; accepts inverted logic signal or complementary drive. |
| 6 | O1 (collector) | Collector terminal of NPN transistor TR1; active-high switching output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual NPN/PNP topology | Enables complementary push-pull or level-shifted switching in one footprint-replaces two discrete transistors plus four resistors. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood applications including BCM, lighting control, and sensor interface modules. |
| 0.47 mm body height | Supports ultra-thin end equipment such as ADAS camera modules and compact infotainment displays. |
| FR4-compatible thermal resistance | Rth(j-a) = 261 K/W (per device); allows full 480 mW power handling without thermal derating on standard PCBs. |
| Logic-level compatible inputs | VI(on) = 0.75 V (typ), VI(off) = 0.6 V (typ); interfaces directly with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V CMOS outputs. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC Input Conditioning |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving LED status indicators and small solenoids from MCU GPIO pins in door module ECUs. IC Role / Device Role: Dual-channel level translator and current amplifier-TR1 switches 12 V loads high-side, TR2 sinks ground-referenced signals. Use Value: Eliminates four external resistors and reduces BOM count by 67% versus discrete BC847+BC857 solution. |
Use Scenario: Converting 24 V industrial field signals to 3.3 V logic levels for ARM-based controller inputs. IC Role / Device Role: Voltage translator and noise-immune input buffer-TR2 acts as active-low clamp, TR1 provides pull-up functionality. Use Value: Built-in R1/R2 network rejects EMI-induced false triggering while maintaining <1 µs propagation delay. |
| Consumer Appliance Motor Driver Interface | Medical Diagnostic Equipment Signal Isolation |
|
Use Scenario: Controlling bidirectional DC motor direction via H-bridge enable lines in smart HVAC actuators. IC Role / Device Role: Complementary gate driver pre-stage-TR1 and TR2 alternately enable upper/lower FET gates with matched timing. Use Value: Matched hFE and VCE(sat) across NPN/PNP pair ensures symmetrical rise/fall times (<50 ns skew). |
Use Scenario: Isolating patient-connected sensor analog paths from noisy digital subsystems in portable ultrasound units. IC Role / Device Role: Low-leakage signal switch-TR1 blocks leakage currents below 100 nA (ICBO) during standby mode. Use Value: Ultra-low ICEO (5 µA at 150 °C) prevents thermal runaway in sealed, fanless enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-transistor switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PRMH10 | NPN/NPN complement; identical R1/R2 values and package but same polarity output stage. | Suitable only where both channels require sourcing capability-not for complementary drive. | Select when driving parallel loads or dual high-side switches from shared logic source. |
| NSVD20011MUTAG | PNP/PNP RET with higher VCEO = 80 V and lower R1 = 10 kΩ; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Limited to industrial non-automotive use due to qualification gap and mismatched gain profile. | Choose only for 48 V systems requiring higher voltage margin and no automotive compliance. |
Compared with PRMH10 and NSVD20011MUTAG, PRMD10Z uniquely delivers verified NPN/PNP complementarity, AEC-Q101 reliability, and optimized 2.2 kΩ input impedance for direct MCU interfacing-making it the sole fit for automotive dual-rail control nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect continuous operation?
The PRMD10Z has a rated maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 150 °C. At ambient temperatures up to 105 °C, its 480 mW total power dissipation remains usable with appropriate PCB copper area-derating begins linearly above 25 °C ambient per the 261 K/W Rth(j-a) curve. Operation beyond Tj risks permanent parametric shift or failure.
Can PRMD10Z replace BC847/BC857 pairs without circuit redesign?
Yes-PRMD10Z is a functional drop-in replacement for BC847 (NPN) + BC857 (PNP) in digital switching applications. Its integrated R1/R2 network eliminates four external resistors, and its pinout maps logically to dual discrete layouts. No layout or firmware changes are needed for 3.3 V/5 V logic drive.
Is the DFN1412-6 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the SOT1268 footprint complies with IPC-7351B Class L standards and supports JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1. Recommended reflow peak temperature is 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds, with preheat ramp rate ≤ 3 °C/s. Thermal pad soldering is required for full power rating.
How does the R2/R1 ratio impact switching stability?
The fixed R2/R1 = 21 ratio provides negative feedback that maintains consistent base current despite VBE drift over temperature. This yields ±15% hFE variation across −40 °C to +125 °C-significantly tighter than discrete bias networks-and prevents thermal runaway during sustained conduction.
