Product details
Overview
ZTX753STZ from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP silicon planar medium-power bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for linear amplification and switching in industrial power control circuits. It delivers −100 V VCEO, −2 A continuous collector current, 140 MHz transition frequency, low −0.3 V typical VCE(sat) at −2 A/−200 mA drive, and operates up to +200 °C junction temperature - used in DC-DC converter output stages and relay drivers.
For engineers reviewing the ZTX753STZ datasheet, ZTX753STZ pinout, ZTX753STZ application, or ZTX753STZ equivalent, key selection criteria include verified PNP polarity, TO-92-compatible package thermal resistance (Rth(j-amb) = 116 °C/W on PCB), safe operating area (SOA) limits at 10 ms–1 s pulse widths, and saturation voltage performance under −2 A load conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a medium-power PNP BJT with fixed emitter-base and collector-base breakdown ratings (V(BR)EBO = −5 V, V(BR)CBO = −120 V) and exhibits gain (hFE) of 75–225 at IC = −1 A, VCE = −2 V. Its fT = 140 MHz supports high-speed switching in pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuits.
Thermal design relies on Rth(j-case) = 70 °C/W and Rth(j-amb) = 116 °C/W (on 1 in² copper PCB), enabling stable operation up to Tj = +200 °C. Switching times are ton = 40 ns and toff = 600 ns under −500 mA load and −10 V VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −100 V: Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before avalanche in common-emitter configuration. |
| IC (continuous) | −2 A: Sustained collector current rating defining linear and switching load capability. |
| VCE(sat) | −0.3 V typ. at −2 A/−200 mA: Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss in high-current switches. |
| fT | 140 MHz: Transition frequency enabling use in >100 kHz PWM and analog signal amplification. |
| Rth(j-amb) | 116 °C/W on 1 in² PCB: Thermal resistance determines required heatsinking for 1 W dissipation at ambient. |
| toff | 600 ns: Turn-off delay critical for minimizing switching losses in high-frequency power stages. |
| Safe Operating Area | Rated for 10 ms pulses at −2 A/−100 V: Defines maximum simultaneous voltage/current stress without second breakdown. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92 compatible (E-Line), epoxy-molded, through-hole mounting. Dimensions and lead spacing match standard TO-92 footprint for drop-in PCB replacement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter (E) | Current sink terminal for PNP operation | Connected to higher potential rail; defines reference for base drive and collector current direction. |
| Base (B) | Control input for minority-carrier injection | Requires negative current relative to emitter to forward-bias BE junction and enable conduction. |
| Collector (C) | Output current terminal | Carries load current from emitter; voltage swing limited by V(BR)CEO = −100 V rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High VCEO rating | −100 V enables use in 48 V and 72 V industrial bus systems with margin. |
| Low VCE(sat) | −0.3 V typical at full −2 A load reduces power loss to ≤ 0.6 W in saturated switch mode. |
| High fT | 140 MHz supports clean square-wave switching up to ~10 MHz with minimal rise/fall degradation. |
| Extended Tj range | +200 °C max junction temperature allows operation in sealed enclosures or near heat sources. |
| Robust SOA | 10 ms pulse rating at −2 A/−100 V supports motor stall and inductive kickback protection. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Stage | Industrial Relay Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-side switching in non-isolated buck or flyback converters delivering 1–3 A loads at 24–48 V input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP pass transistor controlling current flow from input rail to output inductor, driven by complementary NPN/PNP gate driver. Use Value: −100 V VCEO and −2 A IC support 48 V bus designs; low VCE(sat) keeps conduction loss below 0.6 W at full load. | Use Scenario: Driving 24 VDC industrial relays with coil resistance 100–500 Ω in PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-power switch sinking relay coil current when base is pulled low by microcontroller GPIO. Use Value: −2 A rating handles peak inrush currents; 600 ns toff ensures fast de-energization and contact bounce suppression. |
| Motor Control H-Bridge Leg | Overvoltage Protection Circuit |
Use Scenario: Upper-leg PNP switch in discrete H-bridge for 12–24 V brushed DC motors in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side current source controlled via level-shifted base drive; paired with N-channel MOSFET or NPN low-side switch. Use Value: 140 MHz fT and 40 ns ton allow PWM frequencies ≥20 kHz to eliminate audible noise; SOA withstands motor back-EMF transients. | Use Scenario: Crowbar circuit clamping supply rails during overvoltage events in power supplies or battery management systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turn-on PNP shunt switch triggered by comparator detecting >50 V rail excursion. Use Value: −120 V V(BR)CBO provides headroom above 100 V fault thresholds; 600 ns toff ensures rapid recovery after transient clearance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP medium-power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD2955G | TO-220 package, higher Ptot = 115 W, VCEO = −70 V, slower fT = 3 MHz | Better thermal handling for >5 A continuous loads; unsuitable for >100 kHz switching | Select when board space permits TO-220 and thermal budget exceeds 1 W. |
| ZTX757 | Same TO-92 package, VCEO = −120 V, IC = −1.5 A, VCE(sat) = −0.4 V typ. at −1 A | Higher voltage margin but lower current and higher saturation loss | Select when system requires >100 V blocking but load current stays ≤1.5 A. |
Compared with MJD2955G and ZTX757, ZTX753STZ uniquely balances TO-92 mountability, 140 MHz speed, and −100 V/−2 A ratings - making it optimal for space-constrained, medium-frequency industrial switching where thermal load remains ≤1 W.

FAQ
Is ZTX753STZ RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, ZTX753STZ meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is certified halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The device uses lead-free matte tin plating on leads and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 for unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/85% RH.
What is the maximum safe continuous power dissipation at 70°C ambient?
At Tamb = 70 °C, derated power is calculated as Ptot = 1 W − [(70 − 25) × 5.7 mW/°C] = 0.74 W. This assumes standard PCB mounting with ≥1 in² copper; exceeding this requires forced air or heatsink to maintain Tj ≤ +200 °C.
Can ZTX753STZ replace ZTX752STZ in existing designs?
Yes, ZTX753STZ is a direct upgrade: it offers higher VCEO (−100 V vs. −80 V), higher V(BR)CBO (−120 V vs. −100 V), identical pinout and package, and same −2 A IC rating. No layout or drive changes are needed; improved voltage margin enhances robustness in noisy industrial environments.
Does ZTX753STZ require base current limiting in switching applications?
Yes - base current must be limited to prevent damage. For −2 A IC, minimum IB = −200 mA (hFE ≥ 10). With VBE(sat) ≈ −1.25 V, a series resistor from microcontroller (e.g., 3.3 V GPIO) should be ≥ (3.3 − 1.25)/0.2 = 10.3 Ω to avoid excessive base drive and secondary breakdown risk.
