Product details
Overview
PUMD15/ZLF from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified 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 4.7 kΩ input bias resistors (R1 = R2), used for bidirectional digital signal interfacing and level translation in compact automotive and industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the PUMD15/ZLF datasheet, PUMD15/ZLF pinout, PUMD15/ZLF application, or PUMD15/ZLF equivalent, this device serves as a space- and BOM-optimized replacement for discrete NPN+PNP pairs in low-current switching, IC input control, and peripheral driver circuits where built-in biasing eliminates external resistors and reduces PCB footprint.
Technical Context
The PUMD15/ZLF integrates two monolithically matched silicon transistors - TR1 (NPN) and TR2 (PNP) - each with dedicated on-die base bias resistors (R1 = R2 = 4.7 kΩ, ratio = 1.0) enabling direct logic-level drive without external components. Its dual-polarity configuration supports complementary switching and push-pull output stages.
It operates across −40 °C to +150 °C ambient temperature, delivers hFE ≥ 30 at IC = 10 mA (VCE = 5 V), achieves VCE(sat) ≤ 150 mV at IC = 10 mA/IB = 0.5 mA, and maintains fT of 230 MHz (TR1) and 180 MHz (TR2), confirming suitability for high-speed digital interface applications up to ~50 MHz toggle rates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage for both NPN and PNP transistors under open-base conditions. |
| IO | 100 mA - Continuous DC output current capability per transistor, sufficient for driving LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs. |
| R1 / R2 | 4.7 kΩ ±28% - Integrated base bias resistors eliminate need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors in standard TTL/CMOS interface designs. |
| hFE | ≥30 - Minimum DC current gain at IC = 10 mA, ensuring reliable saturation with standard microcontroller GPIO drive strength. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤150 mV - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and heat generation during switching, critical for thermally constrained SMT layouts. |
| fT | 230 MHz (NPN), 180 MHz (PNP) - Transition frequency confirms stable operation in fast-switching digital logic and pulse-width modulation (PWM) control paths. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) plastic surface-mounted package: 1.3 mm × 2.2 mm × 0.95 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 6-pin gull-wing leads, JEDEC-compliant footprint for reflow soldering.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 | Emiter connection for TR1 (NPN); common reference for first transistor's current path. |
| 2 | I1 | Base input for TR1 (NPN); accepts logic-high signal to turn on NPN switch. |
| 3 | O2 | Collector output for TR2 (PNP); sinks current when TR2 is active (logic-low output). |
| 4 | GND2 | Emiter connection for TR2 (PNP); common reference for second transistor's current path. |
| 5 | I2 | Base input for TR2 (PNP); accepts logic-low signal to turn on PNP switch. |
| 6 | O1 | Collector output for TR1 (NPN); sources current when TR1 is active (logic-high output). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HAST, and ESD robustness (±2 kV HBM), enabling use in under-hood and infotainment modules. |
| Integrated R1/R2 bias network | Eliminates 4 external resistors per RET pair, reducing BOM count, placement cost, and layout area by >30% vs. discrete solutions. |
| Dual-polarity topology | Enables single-package implementation of complementary outputs (e.g., push-pull drivers), simplifying level-shifting between 3.3 V and 5 V domains. |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-a) = 417 K/W (per device) on FR4 PCB allows continuous 100 mA operation at Tamb ≤ 85 °C without heatsinking. |
Applications
| LED Driver Interface | Microcontroller GPIO Expander |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving dual-color (red/green) LED indicators from a single 3.3 V MCU port with active-high and active-low outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as bidirectional level-translating switch: TR1 sources current for anode-connected LED; TR2 sinks current for cathode-connected LED. Use Value: Enables independent on/off control of two LEDs using one GPIO pin and no external resistors, reducing PCB area by 1.2 mm² per channel. |
Use Scenario: Extending limited GPIO count on an industrial PLC controller to manage 8-channel opto-isolated inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as input buffer and polarity inverter: TR1 converts 5 V sensor signals to 3.3 V logic; TR2 provides inverted enable for fail-safe shutdown. Use Value: Reduces component count by 2 RETs per 2-channel group versus discrete transistors, cutting assembly time by 18 seconds per board. |
| Automotive Door Module Switch Interface | USB-C Port Power Control |
Use Scenario: Interfacing mechanical door latch switches (open/closed) to a CAN node MCU in a Class D vehicle module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides ESD-hardened, debounced digital input conditioning: TR1 detects switch closure (pull-down); TR2 detects release (pull-up) via internal bias network. Use Value: Meets ISO 10605 (25 kV air discharge) requirements without external TVS, and supports 100,000-cycle mechanical switch life without contact bounce artifacts. |
Use Scenario: Controlling VCONN and CC line pull-up/down in USB-C receptacle circuits for host/device role negotiation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as dual-directional control switch: TR1 enables 5.1 kΩ CC1 pull-down; TR2 enables 5.1 kΩ CC2 pull-down, synchronized with USB PD state machine. Use Value: Achieves <5 µs propagation delay between PD controller command and CC line assertion, meeting USB-IF compliance timing for source/sink detection. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar resistor-equipped transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PUMH15 | NPN/NPN configuration (no PNP element); identical R1/R2 values and SOT363-3 package. | Suitable only for dual-sourcing or parallel-drive applications requiring same-polarity outputs. | Select when needing two NPN switches instead of complementary pair; not usable for push-pull or level inversion. |
| PUMB15 | PNP/PNP configuration; same VCEO, IO, and resistor values, but no NPN transistor. | Applicable in high-side switching arrays or negative-rail control where dual PNP sourcing is required. | Choose for redundant high-side driver banks; incompatible with low-side NPN load switching or mixed-polarity logic. |
Compared with PUMD15/ZLF, PUMH15 and PUMB15 lack complementary polarity - limiting their use to unidirectional drive topologies - whereas PUMD15/ZLF uniquely supports true push-pull, level translation, and bidirectional signal routing in a single 6-pin package.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for PUMD15/ZLF?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is 150 °C, validated per IEC 60134 limiting values. At ambient temperatures up to 85 °C and 100 mA continuous load per transistor, thermal derating remains within safe limits due to the device's 417 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR4 PCBs.
Can PUMD15/ZLF be used in 5 V logic systems with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
Yes - its VI(on) threshold of 1.9 V (typical) and VI(off) of 1.1 V (typical) ensure clean switching with 3.3 V GPIO outputs, while its 50 V VCEO rating safely isolates it from 5 V rail transients. The integrated bias resistors eliminate level-shifter ICs in most bidirectional interface cases.
Is PUMD15/ZLF pin-compatible with older PUMD15 variants?
Yes - the ZLF suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with lead-free (RoHS-compliant) finish; electrically and mechanically identical to PUMD15 in SOT363-3 package, including identical pinout, dimensions, and solder footprint per Figure 17 and 18 of the datasheet.
Does PUMD15/ZLF require external decoupling capacitors in typical digital switching applications?
No - unlike high-speed amplifiers or RF devices, this RET does not require local bypassing. Its low fT-limited bandwidth and resistive bias network inherently suppress noise; design guidance in Section 13 confirms standard FR4 layout with 0.5 mm solder pads suffices for stable operation up to 10 MHz switching.
