PDTA114EM,315

Overview

The Nexperia PDTA114EM is a PNP Resistor-Equipped Transistor (RET) housed in a leadless ultra-small DFN1006-3 (SOT883) package. It integrates bias resistors R1 and R2, both nominally 10 kΩ, to simplify circuit design. Key electrical parameters include a collector-emitter voltage of -50 V, an output current capability of -100 mA, and a total power dissipation of 250 mW at 25 °C ambient temperature. The device features a DC current gain (hFE) minimum of 30 and a transition frequency of 180 MHz. It operates within a junction temperature range up to 150 °C and is qualified under the AEC-Q101 standard for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrated bias resistors eliminate the need for external input components, reducing overall component count and assembly costs.
• Qualified for automotive use according to the AEC-Q101 standard, ensuring high reliability in demanding environments.
• Ultra-small leadless DFN1006-3 package minimizes PCB footprint while maintaining thermal performance suitable for surface mount reflow soldering.

Applications

• Digital applications in automotive and industrial segments
• Cost-saving alternative for BC847 series in digital applications
• Controlling IC inputs
• Switching loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code PDTA114EM,315 against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging details and availability status. Ensure that the selected variant meets the required AEC-Q101 qualification level if intended for automotive deployment. Cross-reference the SOT883 package dimensions with your PCB footprint library to guarantee mechanical compatibility during the design phase.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a compact solution for PNP switching or logic inversion tasks. The built-in 10 kΩ resistors are suitable for direct interfacing with standard logic outputs without additional base drive circuitry. Consider the 50 V breakdown voltage and 100 mA current limit to ensure adequate headroom for the target load conditions and operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's family of resistor-equipped transistors designed to replace discrete transistor-resistor combinations. It serves as the PNP counterpart to the PDTC114EM NPN RET. The SOT883 package allows for higher density mounting compared to traditional plastic packages, supporting automated pick-and-place manufacturing processes efficiently.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include other PNP RETs with similar 10 kΩ bias ratios and comparable voltage/current ratings in small SMD packages. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance characteristics before substituting to ensure equivalent performance in the existing circuit layout.
