Product details
Overview
PUMD16/ZLX from NXP Semiconductors is a dual NPN/PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SC-88 (SOT363) package, integrating matched bias resistors R1 = 22 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ per transistor pair. It delivers 100 mA output current capability, 50 V collector-emitter voltage rating, and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient range. Used for low-current peripheral driving and IC input control in space-constrained digital logic interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PUMD16/ZLX datasheet, PUMD16/ZLX pinout, PUMD16/ZLX application, or PUMD16/ZLX equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, thermal resistance (416 K/W per device), DC current gain (hFE ≥ 80 at IC = 5 mA), saturation voltage (VCEsat ≤ 150 mV), and off-state input voltage (VI(off) ≤ 0.8 V) - all critical for discrete logic-level translation and compact driver design.
Technical Context
The PUMD16/ZLX integrates two complementary RETs - one NPN (TR1) and one PNP (TR2) - sharing common ground terminals (Pins 1 and 4). Each transistor includes built-in base bias resistors (R1 = 22 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ) enabling direct TTL/CMOS-level interfacing without external components.
It supports bidirectional level shifting with VI(on) = 1.1 V (NPN) and VI(on) = −1.1 V (PNP), and exhibits low leakage: ICEO ≤ 1 μA at VCE = 30 V and Tj = 25 °C, rising to 50 μA at 150 °C. Thermal resistance is specified at 416 K/W (per device, SOT363 on FR4 PCB).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V logic and industrial I/O stages. |
| IO | 100 mA - Continuous output current per transistor; sufficient for LED drivers, small relays, and gate control of power MOSFETs. |
| R1 | 22 kΩ (15.4–28.6 kΩ) - Integrated base input resistor; eliminates need for external pull-up/down, reducing BOM count by ≥2 parts. |
| hFE | ≥80 at IC = 5 mA - DC current gain ensures reliable switching with low drive current (IB ≈ 62.5 μA for 5 mA IC). |
| VCEsat | ≤150 mV at IC = 10 mA, IB = 0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switching. |
| VI(off) | ≤0.8 V - Guaranteed turn-off threshold; compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V CMOS logic outputs. |
| Cc | 2.5 pF (TR1), 3 pF (TR2) - Low collector capacitance preserves signal integrity up to ~100 MHz in digital edge applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC-88 (SOT363), 6-pin plastic surface-mounted package, 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND (emitter of TR1) | Common emitter reference for NPN transistor; connects to system ground or low-side return path. |
| 2 | Input (base of TR1) | Direct connection point for logic-level signal driving the NPN; internal R1/R2 network sets bias point. |
| 3 | Output (collector of TR2) | Active-low output node for PNP transistor; sinks current when TR2 is on. |
| 4 | GND (emitter of TR2) | Common emitter reference for PNP transistor; ties to same ground as Pin 1 for dual-transistor operation. |
| 5 | Input (base of TR2) | Logic-level input for PNP transistor; polarity inverted relative to TR1 - negative VI(on) required for turn-on. |
| 6 | Output (collector of TR1) | Active-high output node for NPN transistor; sources current when TR1 is on. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in R1/R2 bias network | 22 kΩ / 47 kΩ ratio (1.7–2.6 typ.) - Enables single-resistor logic interface; eliminates external biasing components and layout area. |
| Complementary NPN+PNP pairing | Shared ground pins (1 & 4) - Supports push-pull or complementary switching in compact I/O buffers without inter-device routing. |
| Low VCEsat | ≤150 mV at 10 mA - Reduces conduction loss to <1.5 mW per transistor, critical for thermally constrained PCBs. |
| Wide temperature range | −65 °C to +150 °C operating ambient - Qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |
| Low input leakage | VI(off) ≤ 0.8 V, ICEO ≤ 1 μA - Ensures robust noise immunity and stable off-state in battery-powered or high-impedance circuits. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | USB Peripheral Power Control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual RET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSVD2001MW6T1G | Higher R1 = 47 kΩ; lower IO = 50 mA; SOT-363 package | Limited to <50 mA loads; better suited for ultra-low-power wake-up circuits | Select when drive current ≤50 mA and higher input impedance is needed. |
| EMH11T2R | Same R1/R2 values (22 kΩ/47 kΩ); higher VCEO = 60 V; SOT-363 | Supports 48 V industrial buses; identical pinout and thermal performance | Choose for 48 V systems requiring extended voltage margin without layout change. |
Compared with NSVD2001MW6T1G and EMH11T2R, PUMD16/ZLX offers optimal balance of 100 mA drive, 50 V rating, and proven 22 kΩ/47 kΩ bias ratio - making it preferred for general-purpose 24 V digital I/O where cost, size, and reliability are jointly prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect continuous operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C. At ambient temperatures up to 85 °C, the device sustains full 100 mA output current with proper PCB copper area (FR4, single-sided, standard footprint). Derating begins above 85 °C ambient, reaching zero current at 150 °C junction - confirmed by Rth(j-a) = 416 K/W per device.
Can PUMD16/ZLX replace discrete transistors in existing designs without layout changes?
Yes - PUMD16/ZLX uses SOT363 (SC-88) package with 0.65 mm pin pitch and identical footprint to PEMD16, PUMB16, and other NXP dual RETs. Pin 1 index and mechanical dimensions match JEITA SC-88 standard, enabling drop-in replacement where bias resistors were previously added externally.
How does the R2/R1 ratio impact switching behavior in digital logic interfaces?
The R2/R1 ratio (1.7–2.6 typ., 2.1 nominal) sets the internal base current division, ensuring consistent saturation across process and temperature. This ratio guarantees VI(on) ≤ 1.1 V for NPN and VI(off) ≤ 0.8 V - enabling reliable switching with 3.3 V CMOS outputs without additional level-shifting circuitry.
Is PUMD16/ZLX qualified for automotive applications?
The base PUMD16 part is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but NXP offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., PUMD16AY,115) with full qualification. These share identical electrical specs, pinout, and package, differing only in traceability, screening, and extended temperature validation (−40 °C to +150 °C).
