EMF23XV6T5

Overview

The EMF23XV6T5 is a dual bipolar junction transistor (BJT) array manufactured by onsemi, featuring one NPN and one PNP channel within a single SOT-563 surface-mount package. This configuration integrates internal base resistors to simplify circuit design for switching applications. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 50V for the NPN section and 12V for the PNP section, with continuous collector currents rated at 100mA and 500mA respectively. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and dissipates up to 500mW of power.

Feature Summary

• Dual complementary NPN and PNP transistor configuration in a compact footprint
• Integrated base resistors reduce external component count and board space
• Optimized for high-speed switching operations in digital logic circuits

Applications

• Digital logic level shifting and translation interfaces
• General-purpose switching in consumer electronics
• Driver stages for low-power relay or LED control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical tolerances. Ensure the procurement source provides traceability documentation consistent with onsemi quality standards. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components that may exhibit degraded switching performance or thermal characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a complementary pair of NPN and PNP switches is required in a limited space. Compare the integrated resistor values against the target logic family drive capabilities to ensure proper saturation. Evaluate the thermal resistance of the SOT-563 package against the expected duty cycle and ambient operating conditions to maintain junction temperatures within safe limits.

Part Context

This device belongs to onsemi's family of pre-biased bipolar transistors designed for replacing multiple discrete components. It consolidates two transistors and their associated biasing networks into one standard surface-mount package. This integration aids in reducing assembly complexity and improving reliability in mass-produced electronic devices requiring compact switching solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the EMF23XV6T5G variant, which denotes lead-free compliance. Other compatible alternatives from different manufacturers must match the SOT-563 outline, voltage ratings, and internal resistor values to ensure functional equivalence without redesigning the surrounding circuitry.
