Product details
Overview
PUMH10 from Nexperia is an NPN/NPN resistor-equipped double transistor (RET) in SOT363-3 (SC-88) package, rated for 50 V VCEO, 100 mA output current per transistor, with built-in bias resistors R1 = 2.2 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ. It functions as a dual digital switching element for low-current logic interfacing and peripheral control in space-constrained PCB designs.
For engineers reviewing the PUMH10 datasheet, PUMH10 pinout, PUMH10 application, or PUMH10 equivalent, this device is selected for compact dual-transistor logic-level translation, IC input control, and replacement of discrete BJT pairs where board area and assembly cost are critical constraints.
Technical Context
The PUMH10 integrates two matched NPN transistors with monolithically embedded base bias networks-R1 (input resistor) and R2 (feedback resistor)-enabling direct TTL/CMOS-compatible drive without external bias components. Each transistor operates independently with open-base VCEO = 50 V and IO = 100 mA rating.
Its thermal resistance is 417 K/W (per device, FR4 PCB), and it delivers hFE ≥ 100 at IC = 10 mA, VCE = 5 V. The built-in R2/R1 ratio of 21 ± 5 supports stable saturation across temperature (−40 °C to +150 °C junction).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines high-side switch headroom in 3.3 V/5 V logic systems. |
| IO | 100 mA - Continuous DC output current per transistor; sufficient for driving LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs. |
| R1 | 2.2 kΩ ± 29% - Input bias resistor enabling direct CMOS/TTL logic-level turn-on without external pull-up/down. |
| R2/R1 | 21 ± 5 - Feedback resistor ratio ensuring stable β-dependent saturation and predictable VI(on)/VI(off) thresholds. |
| hFE | ≥100 - Minimum DC current gain at IC = 10 mA, VCE = 5 V; guarantees reliable switching under worst-case conditions. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤100 mV - Collector-emitter saturation voltage at IC = 5 mA, IB = 0.25 mA; minimizes power loss in on-state. |
| fT | 230 MHz - Transition frequency at VCE = 5 V, IC = 10 mA; supports fast digital switching up to ~20 MHz edge rates. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363-3 (SC-88 / TSSOP6) surface-mount plastic package: 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 0.95 mm max height, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 | Emiter connection for TR1; common reference node for first transistor's current path. |
| 2 | I1 | Base input for TR1; connected internally to R1 and R2 network for self-biasing. |
| 3 | O2 | Collector output for TR2; active-high switching node for second channel. |
| 4 | GND2 | Emiter connection for TR2; independent ground return for second transistor. |
| 5 | I2 | Base input for TR2; electrically isolated from I1 but identical internal bias structure. |
| 6 | O1 | Collector output for TR1; primary switching node for first channel, mirrored to O2. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual NPN RET architecture | Two fully independent NPN transistors with matched R1/R2 networks-eliminates need for 4 external bias resistors in discrete pair designs. |
| Input voltage compatibility | VI(on) = 0.75–1.1 V and VI(off) = 0.5–0.6 V enable direct interface with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without level-shifting. |
| Thermal robustness | Rated Tj = 150 °C and Ptot = 300 mW (per device) support operation in industrial ambient environments up to +85 °C PCB temperature. |
| Low saturation loss | VCE(sat) ≤ 100 mV at IC = 5 mA ensures <1 mW conduction loss per channel-critical for battery-powered signal routing. |
| Space-optimized packaging | SOT363-3 footprint (2.2 × 1.35 mm) saves >60% board area versus two discrete SOT23 transistors plus four resistors. |
Applications
| LED Driver Interface | Microcontroller GPIO Expander |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 20 mA indicator LEDs from 3.3 V MCU outputs with limited drive strength. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel low-side switch translating weak GPIO signals into full-current LED paths. Use Value: Eliminates 4 discrete resistors and 2 transistors; reduces BOM count by 6 parts and layout area by 3.5 mm². |
Use Scenario: Adding 2 extra digital output lines to an STM32L4 MCU with all GPIOs allocated. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic-level buffered output extender with sub-100 ns propagation delay and rail-to-rail swing. Use Value: Enables direct connection to 5 V peripherals without external level shifters; VI(on) threshold ensures noise-immune activation. |
| Logic-Level Translation | Push-Pull Input Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Converting 1.8 V FPGA I/O signals to 5 V-compatible levels for legacy sensor interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual NPN inverter stage providing non-inverting translation via emitter-follower configuration. Use Value: Achieves 0.5 V hysteresis margin between VI(on) and VI(off); prevents chatter during slow-rising input edges. |
Use Scenario: Conditioning noisy mechanical switch inputs before feeding into Schmitt-trigger inputs of a PIC16F. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Debounced active-low input conditioner with built-in pull-down and ESD-tolerant base network. Use Value: R1/R2 network provides inherent current limiting and noise filtering; eliminates need for RC filters and diodes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-NPN RET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PUMD10 | Complementary NPN/PNP RET with identical R1/R2 values and SOT363-3 package. | Required when one channel needs inverting (NPN) and the other non-inverting (PNP) logic behavior. | Select PUMD10 only if mixed-polarity switching is needed; not a drop-in replacement for dual-NPN function. |
| PUMB10 | PNP/PNP RET with same package and bias resistor values, but opposite polarity and inverted VI(on)/VI(off) thresholds. | Used in high-side switching or negative-rail referenced logic where sourcing current is required. | Not interchangeable with PUMH10 due to reversed conduction direction and incompatible bias polarity. |
Compared with PUMD10 and PUMB10, the PUMH10 uniquely supports dual low-side switching with consistent NPN logic polarity, making it optimal for parallel signal buffering and LED sink-driving where uniform channel behavior is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel?
The PUMH10 supports 100 mA DC output current per transistor under recommended operating conditions (Tamb ≤ 85 °C, FR4 PCB). Derating applies above 25 °C ambient: total device power dissipation drops linearly from 300 mW at 25 °C to 0 mW at 125 °C, per the published derating curve.
Can PUMH10 replace two discrete BC847B transistors?
Yes-when used with external 2.2 kΩ and 47 kΩ base resistors-but PUMH10 improves reliability by integrating those resistors monolithically, eliminating solder joint failure points and tolerance drift. Its matched R2/R1 ratio also ensures tighter channel-to-channel consistency than discrete solutions.
Is PUMH10 suitable for automotive applications?
No. The PUMH10 is not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks automotive-grade screening, qualification testing, or guaranteed extended temperature operation beyond its specified −65 °C to +150 °C junction range. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification in its legal disclaimers.
What is the meaning of the marking code 'H%0'?
'H%0' is the top-side laser marking for PUMH10, where 'H' denotes the device type, '%' is a placeholder for the manufacturing site code (e.g., 'A' for Nijmegen), and '0' indicates the assembly lot suffix. Full traceability requires cross-referencing with Nexperia's batch documentation and date codes.
