The ROHM QST9TR is a dual PNP transistor array in a compact TSMT6 (SC-95) surface-mount package.
Key ratings that decide the fit
The 320 MHz transition frequency (fT) means this part can handle fast switching in DC-DC converters or level shifters without excessive switching loss. The minimum DC current gain of 270 at 100 mA collector current means a microcontroller I/O pin can drive the base directly through a modest resistor, saving a driver stage. Saturation voltage is specified at 350 mV max at 500 mA collector current — low enough to keep dissipation manageable in a 1.25 W package.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
It is ROHS3 compliant.
