Dual PNP pre-biased transistor with integrated bias network
The ROHM FMA5AT148 integrates two PNP pre-biased transistors in a single SOT-753 (SC-74A) surface-mount package. Each transistor includes a 2.2kΩ series base resistor and a 47kΩ base-emitter resistor, eliminating two external resistors per channel and reducing PCB area.
Built-in bias resistors simplify the BOM
The integrated bias network (R1 = 2.2kΩ, R2 = 47kΩ) sets a fixed turn-on threshold and provides base current limiting. This saves two resistors per transistor — four components eliminated versus a discrete PNP pair. The 250MHz transition frequency supports switching up to low-MHz rates, suitable for relay drivers, LED indicators, and logic-level translation.
ROHS3 compliant.
