Product details
Overview
DXT690BP5Q-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 45V NPN high-gain bipolar junction transistor in PowerDI®5 package, designed for switching and amplification in automotive-grade power circuits. It delivers 3A continuous collector current, 77mΩ RCE(sat), hFE ≥ 400 at 1A, and AEC-Q101 qualification - enabling use in IGBT/MOSFET gate drivers and LED drivers where low saturation voltage and thermal reliability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the DXT690BP5Q-13 datasheet, DXT690BP5Q-13 pinout, DXT690BP5Q-13 application, or DXT690BP5Q-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCEO = 45V, IC = 3A, RCE(sat) ≤ 240mV at 3A/150mA drive, thermal resistance RθJA = 39°C/W (50mm × 50mm 2oz Cu), and PowerDI5 mechanical compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This NPN transistor operates as a medium-power switch with high DC current gain maintained up to 6A, supporting robust base-driven control in DC-DC converters and motor drivers. Its low RCE(sat) and 1.1mm max height enable efficient thermal management in compact automotive modules.
The device features a thermally enhanced PowerDI5 package with exposed collector pad, delivering RθJL = 9°C/W and RθJC = 10°C/W - optimized for direct heat transfer to PCB copper. It sustains safe operation across –55°C to +150°C with 4kV HBM ESD rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines upper rail limit in 12V/24V automotive switching applications. |
| IC (cont.) | 3 A - Continuous collector current capability; supports sustained 3A load switching without derating at TA ≤ 75°C on 50mm² 2oz Cu. |
| RCE(sat) | 240 mΩ @ 3A/150mA - Low saturation resistance minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switching. |
| hFE | 400 @ 1A - High DC current gain ensures stable base drive efficiency and reduces required base current in driver stages. |
| RθJA | 39 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on 50mm × 50mm 2oz FR4; enables 3.2W power dissipation at TA = 25°C. |
| fT | 150 MHz - Transition frequency supports fast switching (ton/toff ≤ 33ns/1300ns) in PWM-based power control. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI®5 - surface-mount, thermally enhanced plastic package with exposed collector pad (Case: molded "Green" compound, UL 94V-0, 1.1mm max height, 0.093g weight).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (exposed pad) | Main current path output terminal | Electrically and thermally connected to PCB copper; primary heat sink interface and high-current return path. |
| Emitter | Current source reference node | Low-impedance ground-side connection; tied directly to system GND or low-side shunt in half-bridge configurations. |
| Base | Control input for transistor biasing | Receives TTL/CMOS-compatible drive; requires ≤0.5A peak base current for full saturation at 3A collector load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High gain hold-up | hFE specified up to 6A - maintains usable current gain under heavy overload, improving fault tolerance in motor stall conditions. |
| Ultra-low profile | 1.1mm maximum height - enables integration into ultra-thin automotive ECUs and LED headlamp modules with strict Z-axis constraints. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Qualified for automotive applications - meets stress testing requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per AEC standard. |
| Green packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free, RoHS-compliant - satisfies EU ELV and OEM chemical content mandates without compromising thermal or electrical performance. |
Applications
| LED Driver | Motor Driver |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN switch controlling LED string current via emitter-follower or low-side configuration. Use Value: 77mΩ RCE(sat) limits conduction loss to <100mW at 3A, reducing thermal load on PCB and enabling smaller heatsinks. | Use Scenario: Half-bridge low-side switch in 12V brushed DC motor control for HVAC actuators or window lifters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power stage transistor driving motor winding with 3A peak current and fast turn-off (toff ≤ 1.3μs). Use Value: 150MHz fT and 400 hFE ensure clean PWM edge fidelity and minimal base drive overhead at 20kHz switching. |
| DC-DC Converter | IGBT Gate Driver |
Use Scenario: Synchronous rectifier or main switch in 5–24V input buck converters for ADAS camera modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency switching element operating at 500kHz with low VCE(sat) and fast recovery. Use Value: 39°C/W RθJA allows full 3A operation without forced air, supporting fanless designs in compact enclosures. | Use Scenario: Active pull-down stage in isolated IGBT gate driver circuits for electric power steering inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turn-off transistor clamping gate voltage during IGBT turn-off to suppress Miller-induced false triggering. Use Value: 1300ns toff and 4kV HBM rating provide robust noise immunity and reliable gate discharge in high-dV/dt environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTN618MFFTA | VCEO = 40V, IC = 2.5A, RCE(sat) = 110mΩ @ 2A - lower voltage rating and reduced current capacity. | Suitable for non-automotive 24V industrial controls but not AEC-Q101-compliant; lacks PPAP capability. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and 45V margin is unnecessary. |
| DMT6009LPS-13 | N-channel MOSFET (60V, 9.5A, RDS(on) = 11.5mΩ) - zero gate current, higher efficiency above 1A but requires level-shifted gate drive. | Better for high-frequency SMPS (>1MHz) and battery-powered systems; unsuitable for simple BJT-based linear drivers. | Choose for lowest conduction loss and gate-drive simplicity in new designs where MOSFET logic-level compatibility exists. |
Compared with ZXTN618MFFTA and DMT6009LPS-13, DXT690BP5Q-13 provides the only AEC-Q101-qualified NPN option with 45V/3A rating and ultra-low profile - making it uniquely suited for space- and reliability-critical automotive switching where base-driven simplicity and thermal resilience are prioritized over ultra-low RDS(on).

FAQ
What is the difference between DXT690BP5-13 and DXT690BP5Q-13?
DXT690BP5Q-13 is the automotive-grade variant: both share identical electrical and thermal specifications, but only the Q-suffix version is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP-capable, and marked "Automotive" per Diodes Incorporated's compliance definitions. The standard -13 part is intended for industrial/commercial use.
Can DXT690BP5Q-13 be used in place of a MOSFET in gate driver circuits?
Yes - it serves effectively as the active pull-down transistor in IGBT/MOSFET gate drivers due to its 1300ns toff, 4kV HBM rating, and low RCE(sat). Unlike MOSFETs, it requires base current but eliminates gate charge concerns and offers predictable turn-off timing without Miller plateau effects.
What PCB layout practices maximize thermal performance?
Maximize thermal performance by soldering the exposed collector pad to ≥50mm² of 2oz copper on the top layer, using thermal vias to inner/ground planes, and avoiding solder mask over the pad. Follow Diodes' AP02001 recommended pad layout (6.4mm × 3.9mm) to ensure mechanical reliability and optimal RθJA = 39°C/W.
Is DXT690BP5Q-13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - it is fully RoHS-compliant and rated for lead-free reflow with peak temperatures up to 260°C. Moisture sensitivity level is J-STD-020 Level 1, meaning no dry-pack or baking is required prior to assembly, simplifying manufacturing logistics.
