RN1316,LXHF

Overview

The RN1316,LXHF is an AEC-Q qualified single NPN digital transistor designed for automotive applications. It integrates a built-in bias resistor network with R1=4.7kΩ and R2=∞ (open). Key electrical parameters include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (Vceo) of 50V, a continuous collector current (Ic) of 100mA, and a power dissipation (Pd) of 100mW. The device supports a maximum operating frequency of 250MHz and features a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 80 at Ic=10mA, Vce=5V. It operates within a temperature range up to +150°C and is available in the USM-3 surface-mount package.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix LXHF corresponds to the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the AEC-Q certification meets the specific automotive quality standards required by your application. Ensure the USM-3 footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with latest manufacturing specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single NPN digital switch with a 4.7kΩ base resistor is required for automotive environments. Consider the 50V Vceo rating for low-voltage signal processing. Evaluate the 100mA current limit against load requirements. Compare hFE characteristics with other RN series variants if different resistor values are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to Toshiba's RN series of pre-biased bipolar transistors. These devices combine a single transistor with internal resistors to reduce component count. The LXHF suffix typically denotes specific packaging and automotive compliance options within the broader RN family, distinguishing it from standard commercial grade equivalents.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other RN13xx series parts with identical 4.7kΩ base resistance and USM-3 packaging. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution. Alternative manufacturers may offer equivalent NPN digital transistors but require validation of AEC-Q status and parameter tolerances.
