500mA RETs in SOT23 and SOT323

May 27, 2014 by Jeff Shepard

NXP Semiconductor N.V. has extended its transistor portfolio by releasing 20 new 500 mA resistor equipped transistors (RETs) in SOT23 and SOT323 packages. This product series PDTB1xxxT/U and PDTDxxxxT/U offer an output current capability of 500 mA, operation voltage of 50 V and built-in bias resistor values from 1 to 10 k Ohm. Designed for high-temperature applications of up to 175 degrees C, they are suited for digital automotive applications.

PDTB1xxxT/U and PDTDxxxT/U are available as NPN and PNP types in two SMD plastic packages: The 2.9 x 1.3 x 1.0 mm SOT23 and the slightly smaller SOT323 at 2.0 x 1.25 x 0.95 mm. Additionally, the series offer a simplified circuit design, reduced component counts and +/- 10% resistor ration tolerance

Key features and benefits include: 500 mA output current capability; Built-in bias resistors; Simplifies circuit design; Reduces component count; +/- 10% resistor ration tolerance; AEC-Q101 qualified; and High temperature applications up to 175 degrees C. Key applications are expected to include: Digital applications in automotive and industrial segments; Controlling IC inputs; and Switching loads.
