Pre-biased NPN in an ultra-small leadless package
The BCR 139L3 E6327: The Infineon BCR 139L3 is an NPN pre-biased transistor that integrates a 22 kOhm base resistor (R1) directly in the package. This eliminates the external base resistor and saves board area, making it a compact switching solution for loads up to 100 mA collector current and 50 V collector-emitter breakdown. With a transition frequency of 150 MHz, this device handles moderate-speed switching — think PWM dimming at tens of kHz or level-shifting digital signals up to a few MHz. The 300 mV saturation voltage at 500 µA base drive and 10 mA collector current keeps conduction losses low in low-current stages. The package is SC-101 / SOT-883 (Infineon designation PG-TSLP-3-4), a leadless 3-pin surface-mount package with a tiny footprint.
