Product details
Overview
RN2305,LF from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a silicon PNP epitaxial bipolar transistor with integrated bias resistors (R1 = 2.2 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ), designed for switching and interfacing applications in compact DC-DC converters, LED drivers, and logic-level translators. It operates with VCEO = −50 V, IC = −5 mA max, and hFE = 80 min at IC = −5 mA, IB = −0.25 mA.
For engineers reviewing the RN2305,LF datasheet, RN2305,LF pinout, RN2305,LF application, or RN2305,LF equivalent, this part supports AEC-Q101-qualified automotive subsystems, low-power logic interface circuits, and space-constrained driver stages where resistor-integrated transistors reduce BOM count and PCB footprint.
Technical Context
The RN2305,LF implements a monolithic PNP transistor with two on-die bias resistors forming a fixed-base bias network-R1 connected between base and emitter, R2 between base and collector-enabling single-resistor external drive and stable saturation under varying load conditions. Its USM package supports high-density mounting in portable and automotive control modules.
It shares the same absolute maximum ratings as the RN2301–RN2304 group for VCBO and VCEO (−50 V), but differs in bias resistor values and input voltage thresholds: VI(ON) = −0.6 V typ., VI(OFF) = −1.0 V typ., ensuring reliable turn-on/turn-off margins in 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V: Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V automotive supply rails with margin. |
| hFE | 80 min at IC = −5 mA, IB = −0.25 mA: Ensures sufficient current gain for low-drive digital outputs to fully saturate the transistor. |
| R1 / R2 | 2.2 kΩ / 47 kΩ: Fixed internal bias network optimized for fast switching with low input current demand and stable OFF-state leakage. |
| VCE(sat) | −0.6 V max at IC = −5 mA, IB = −0.25 mA: Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss in high-duty-cycle switching applications. |
| fT | 15.4 MHz typ.: Supports switching frequencies up to ~1–2 MHz in small-signal amplifier or pulse generator roles. |
| Package | USM (SOT-323): 1.3 × 1.7 × 0.9 mm surface-mount package with 6.0 mg mass; compatible with standard reflow profiles and AOI inspection. |
Pinout & Package
Package: USM (SOT-323), 3-pin ultra-small molded plastic case with gull-wing leads. Dimensions: 1.3 mm × 1.7 mm × 0.9 mm (L × W × H), weight 6.0 mg (typ.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Internal connection to both R1 (to emitter) and R2 (to collector); accepts single external drive signal without discrete biasing components. |
| 2 | Emitter | Common reference terminal; tied to R1 and serves as current sink output node in PNP configuration. |
| 3 | Collector | Main output terminal; connects internally to R2 and carries switched load current with low saturation voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per JESD22 standards. |
| Integrated R1/R2 bias network | Eliminates two external resistors, reducing component count by ≥2 and PCB area by ~1.5 mm² per device. |
| Low VI(ON) threshold | −0.6 V typical ensures compatibility with 3.3 V CMOS and TTL logic families without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Complementary pairing | Designed as PNP counterpart to RN1305 series NPN devices, enabling matched push-pull or totem-pole driver designs. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP bias-resistor transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSV2305LT1G | R1 = 2.2 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ, same USM package, but hFE = 60–120 (vs. RN2305,LF min 80), fT = 10 MHz typ. | Lower fT limits use in >500 kHz PWM; tighter hFE binning supports analog gain-critical designs. | Select when tighter hFE distribution or ON-semiconductor's extended automotive qualification (AEC-Q101 Rev. D) is prioritized. |
| DXT3051P-7 | R1 = 2.2 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ, SOT-323 package, but VCEO = −40 V (vs. −50 V), IC = −100 mA max (vs. −5 mA). | Higher current rating suits higher-power loads, but reduced voltage margin restricts use in 24 V+ systems. | Select when driving >50 mA loads is required and system voltage remains ≤ 18 V nominal. |
Compared with NSV2305LT1G and DXT3051P-7, the RN2305,LF delivers superior voltage margin (−50 V VCEO), guaranteed minimum hFE (80), and tighter VI(ON)/VI(OFF) specs-making it optimal for safety-critical 24 V automotive interfaces where consistent turn-on behavior across temperature is essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for RN2305,LF?
The RN2305,LF has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) rating of 150 °C, as specified in Toshiba's Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows continuous operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures with adequate board-level thermal design. Derating guidelines in the Toshiba Semiconductor Reliability Handbook should be applied when ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C or power dissipation exceeds 50 mW.
Is RN2305,LF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, RN2305,LF is RoHS compliant and lead-free, as confirmed by Toshiba's product documentation and marking specifications. The ",LF" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free plating and halogen-free molding compound. Full compliance data-including substance declarations and test reports-is available through Toshiba's environmental portal and authorized distributors like Digi-Key and Mouser.
Does RN2305,LF require external bias resistors for basic switching operation?
No, RN2305,LF does not require external bias resistors for basic switching operation. It integrates R1 = 2.2 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ internally, enabling direct connection of a single control signal to the base (Pin 1) while emitter (Pin 2) and collector (Pin 3) interface with the load. This eliminates two external resistors and simplifies layout in space-constrained designs.
What is the typical transition frequency (fT) of RN2305,LF and how does it affect switching speed?
The typical transition frequency (fT) of RN2305,LF is 15.4 MHz, measured at VCE = −10 V, IC = −5 mA. This fT supports rise/fall times under 25 ns in optimized layouts, making the RN2305,LF suitable for PWM dimming up to 2 MHz and digital signal buffering in sub-100 ns timing-critical paths.
How does RN2305,LF differ from RN2301,LF in terms of bias resistor values and application suitability?
RN2305,LF uses R1 = 2.2 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ, whereas RN2301,LF uses R1 = R2 = 4.7 kΩ. This makes RN2305,LF better suited for low-input-current drive scenarios (e.g., weak GPIOs or high-impedance sources) and applications requiring deeper saturation at lower base currents, such as battery-powered logic interfaces. RN2301,LF offers faster switching in moderate-load, higher-drive applications.
