Product details
Overview
ZDT6702TC from Diodes Incorporated is a complementary medium-power Darlington transistor pair (NPN+PNP) in a single SM-8 surface-mount package, rated for ±60 V VCEO, ±1.75 A continuous collector current, and 2.25 W dissipation per die. It delivers high DC current gain (hFE up to 13k at 10mA), low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) = 0.83 V @ 0.5A), and fast switching (ton = 0.5 µs), enabling use in automotive relay drivers and industrial motor control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ZDT6702TC datasheet, ZDT6702TC pinout, ZDT6702TC application, or ZDT6702TC equivalent, key selection criteria include complementary Darlington pairing, SM-8 thermal performance (55.6 °C/W RθJA), AEC-Q101 qualification readiness, and dual-die thermal derating behavior under simultaneous conduction.
Technical Context
The ZDT6702TC integrates matched NPN and PNP Darlington transistors on one die substrate, sharing common thermal mass but electrically isolated. Each transistor features built-in base-emitter resistors for simplified biasing and exhibits high hFE across wide current ranges (5k–13k for NPN; 2k–8k for PNP) with consistent VBE(sat) ≈ 1.68 V (NPN) and −1.7 V (PNP) at full rated current.
Its SM-8 package enables dual-transistor functionality in footprint-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining separate thermal paths-allowing independent power handling up to 2.25 W per device or combined 2.75 W when both operate at balanced duty cycles. Switching performance is specified under pulsed conditions (300 µs, ≤2% duty cycle) to preserve junction temperature integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | ±60 V - Supports 48 V industrial bus and 12/24 V automotive loads with margin against inductive kickback |
| IC (continuous) | ±1.75 A - Drives solenoids, small motors, or LED arrays without external heat sinking at ambient ≤50°C |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Complementary Darlington Pair | Single SM-8 package integrates matched NPN and PNP devices with symmetrical breakdown and gain specs, eliminating layout mismatch and thermal tracking errors |
| Integrated Base Resistors | Eliminates need for external bias resistors-reduces BOM count and PCB area while ensuring stable turn-on/turn-off thresholds |
| AEC-Q101 Readiness | Manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities with PPAP capability; supports automotive qualification pathways for body electronics and chassis modules |
| Dual-Die Thermal Management | Independent thermal resistance values (55.6/45.5 °C/W) allow accurate junction temperature prediction whether operating single- or dual-sided |

Applications
| Automotive Relay Driver | Industrial Solenoid Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V/24 V automotive relays in door lock, window lift, or lighting control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Complementary Darlington switch providing low-loss, high-gain interface between MCU GPIO and relay coil. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete driver stages; VCE(sat) < 0.9 V at 0.5 A reduces coil heating and extends relay life. | Use Scenario: Controlling pneumatic/hydraulic solenoids in factory automation PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-power bidirectional switching element handling 1.5 A inductive loads with flyback protection. Use Value: Dual-die structure allows alternating NPN/PNP activation for H-bridge-like directional control without cross-conduction risk. |
| DC Motor Direction Control | LED Array Power Switch |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional control of small brushed DC motors (e.g., HVAC actuators, seat adjusters) in embedded systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Complementary output stage enabling forward/reverse polarity reversal via logic-controlled NPN/PNP conduction. Use Value: Matched VCE(sat) and hFE ensure symmetric motor torque and speed response in both directions. | Use Scenario: High-efficiency on/off switching of multi-segment LED arrays in signage or dashboard backlighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-saturation, high-current switch managing up to 1.75 A per channel with minimal thermal rise. Use Value: 2.25 W per die rating supports sustained 100% duty-cycle operation with standard 2 in² PCB copper. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar complementary Darlington switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTD6717E6TA | Lower VCEO (±30 V), higher fT (200 MHz), SOT-26 package | Better suited for high-frequency switching (>100 kHz) but limited to 30 V systems | Select when board space is critical and voltage stress <30 V; not suitable for 48 V or automotive battery transients |
| MMDT3904-7-F | Discrete NPN+PNP pair (no Darlington gain), SOT-363, max IC = ±200 mA | Lower current capacity, no integrated base resistors, requires external bias network | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-power (<200 mA) designs where Darlington gain is unnecessary and layout flexibility is prioritized |
Compared with ZXTD6717E6TA and MMDT3904-7-F, the ZDT6702TC uniquely balances 60 V robustness, 1.75 A drive, and integrated Darlington gain in one thermally optimized SM-8 package-making it optimal for medium-power automotive and industrial switching where reliability and simplicity outweigh ultra-high-speed or ultra-low-cost requirements.

FAQ
Is the ZDT6702TC qualified to AEC-Q101?
No, the ZDT6702TC itself is not AEC-Q101 certified, but Diodes states it is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. Customers requiring formal qualification must initiate a joint qualification program with Diodes; the device is explicitly designated "for automotive applications requiring specific change control."
What is the function of Pin 8 (NC) on the ZDT6702TC?
Pin 8 is a no-connect terminal with no internal bond wire or circuit connection. It is a mechanical placeholder in the SM-8 leadframe and must remain unconnected in PCB layout and assembly-soldering or routing to this pin may cause mechanical stress or unintended shorts.
Can both NPN and PNP transistors operate simultaneously in the ZDT6702TC?
Yes, both transistors can conduct simultaneously, but total power dissipation is limited to 2.75 W (not 4.5 W), and thermal resistance drops to 45.5 °C/W. Simultaneous operation increases junction temperature faster; design must verify TJ remains ≤150°C using actual duty cycle and ambient conditions.
Why does the datasheet state "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS"?
This notice indicates Diodes has introduced newer-generation alternatives (e.g., higher-efficiency, smaller-footprint, or AEC-Q101-qualified successors). The ZDT6702TC remains fully supported for existing production and legacy designs, with no announced obsolescence date or last-time-buy announcement.
