Product details
Overview
PUMD13/ZLX from Nexperia is an NPN/PNP resistor-equipped double transistor (RET) in SOT363-3 (SC-88) package, rated for 50 V VCEO, 100 mA output current per transistor, with integrated bias resistors R1 = 4.7 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ. It functions as a dual-channel digital switching element for level translation and IC input control in space-constrained logic interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PUMD13/ZLX datasheet, PUMD13/ZLX pinout, PUMD13/ZLX application, or PUMD13/ZLX equivalent, this device serves as a compact, bias-resistor-integrated replacement for discrete NPN+PNP pairs in low-current peripheral driver circuits where board area, BOM count, and assembly cost are critical.
Technical Context
The PUMD13/ZLX integrates two complementary transistors - TR1 (NPN) and TR2 (PNP) - each with dedicated on-chip base bias networks (R1 and R2), enabling direct TTL/CMOS-level drive without external resistors. Its dual-transistor topology supports push-pull or complementary switching configurations in single-supply systems.
Each transistor exhibits verified DC current gain (hFE ≥ 100 at IC = 10 mA, VCE = 5 V), collector-emitter saturation voltage ≤ 100 mV, and transition frequencies of 230 MHz (TR1) and 180 MHz (TR2), confirming suitability for high-speed digital switching up to ~50 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage for both transistors under open-base conditions. |
| IO | 100 mA - Continuous output current capability per transistor, supporting logic-level load driving. |
| R1 | 4.7 kΩ ±28% - Integrated input bias resistor enabling direct microcontroller GPIO interface without external components. |
| R2/R1 ratio | 10 - Fixed internal bias network ratio ensuring stable saturation and predictable turn-on behavior. |
| hFE | ≥100 - Minimum DC current gain at IC = 10 mA, guaranteeing reliable switching with low base drive current. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤100 mV - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and ensures clean logic-level output swing. |
| fT (TR1) | 230 MHz - Transition frequency confirms fast switching performance suitable for >20 MHz digital signals. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT363-3 (TSSOP6), ultra-small surface-mount plastic package with 0.65 mm lead pitch, optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 | Emiter connection for TR1 (NPN); common reference for first transistor channel. |
| 2 | I1 | Base input for TR1 (NPN); accepts standard CMOS/TTL logic levels directly. |
| 3 | O2 | Collector output for TR2 (PNP); active-low switching node. |
| 4 | GND2 | Emiter connection for TR2 (PNP); independent ground return for second channel. |
| 5 | I2 | Base input for TR2 (PNP); enables complementary control with inverted logic polarity. |
| 6 | O1 | Collector output for TR1 (NPN); active-high switching node. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual NPN/PNP RET topology | Enables complementary output stages in one footprint, eliminating need for separate discrete transistors and bias resistors. |
| Integrated R1/R2 bias network | Reduces component count by ≥4 parts per channel and eliminates manual resistor selection and placement errors. |
| 100 mA per transistor rating | Supports direct driving of LEDs, small relays, and logic inputs without external amplification. |
| SOT363-3 package | 0.65 mm pitch, 2.2 × 1.35 mm body size - saves >60% board area vs. SO-8 or SC-70 dual packages. |
| Guaranteed hFE ≥ 100 | Ensures consistent turn-on with ≤100 µA base current, compatible with low-drive MCU GPIOs. |
Applications
| LED Driver Interface | Microcontroller GPIO Expander |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional signal conditioning element with defined VI(on)/VI(off) thresholds for robust noise margin. Use Value: Provides rail-to-rail compatible input thresholds (VI(on) = 0.9–1.3 V, VI(off) = 0.5–0.6 V) without external pull-ups or level shifters. |
Use Scenario: Controlling standby modes of USB-C PD controllers and display interface ICs in portable devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-quiescent-current enable/disable switch with <1 µA leakage (ICEO) at 150 °C junction temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar resistor-equipped transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PUMB13 | PNP/PNP configuration instead of NPN/PNP; identical R1/R2 values and package. | Used when both outputs require active-low (sinking) drive, e.g., dual cathode LED control. | Select when complementary-sink-only operation is needed; not interchangeable for mixed-source/sink topologies. |
| PUMH13 | NPN/NPN configuration; same bias network and package, but no PNP channel. | Suitable for dual active-high drivers or parallel current boosting where polarity inversion is unnecessary. | Choose when both channels must source current; incompatible with applications requiring true/complement outputs. |
Compared with PUMB13 and PUMH13, the PUMD13/ZLX uniquely provides matched NPN+PNP functionality in one die, enabling true complementary output generation without cross-coupling or timing skew - essential for glitch-free enable/disable sequencing in power management ICs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PUMD13/ZLX?
The PUMD13/ZLX has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 150 °C and an ambient operating range of −65 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance is 417 K/W (per device, FR4 PCB), allowing continuous 100 mA operation at up to +85 °C ambient with standard layout.
Can PUMD13/ZLX replace discrete transistor + resistor combinations?
Yes - PUMD13/ZLX replaces two transistors and four external bias resistors (two per channel). Its integrated R1 = 4.7 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ network matches typical digital interface requirements, eliminating layout errors and tolerance stacking in bias networks.
Is PUMD13/ZLX pin-compatible with other SOT363-3 RETs?
Yes - all Nexperia SOT363-3 RETs (e.g., PUMB13, PUMH13, PUMD12) share identical pinout and footprint. However, internal transistor type (NPN/PNP vs. PNP/PNP) and bias ratios differ, so functional compatibility must be verified per application.
Does PUMD13/ZLX support 1.8 V logic inputs?
Yes - its VI(on) is specified at 0.9–1.3 V (TR1) and −0.9 to −1.3 V (TR2), making it fully compatible with 1.8 V CMOS logic. Input threshold margins exceed 0.3 V at 25 °C, ensuring robust noise immunity in mixed-voltage systems.
