PNP Darlington for automotive loads
The Infineon BSP61E6327 is a PNP Darlington transistor qualified to AEC-Q101. Collector-emitter breakdown is 60 V, continuous collector current is 1 A, and DC current gain is at least 2000 at 500 mA.
Minimum hFE is 2000 at 500 mA and 10 Vce. Vce saturation is 1.8 V maximum at 1 mA base drive and 1 A collector current. Package power limit is 1.5 W.
Transition frequency and switching speed
The 200 MHz transition frequency is typical for a Darlington of this current class. It supports PWM switching up to several tens of kilohertz — adequate for lamp dimming, valve proportional control, or brushed DC motor speed control. For higher-frequency applications like switch-mode power supplies, a single PNP or MOSFET would be a better fit; the Darlington's stored charge in the output stage limits turn-off speed.
The AEC-Q101 qualification means it is released for automotive production lines and subject to the change notification and long-term supply commitments typical of that grade.
