Product details
Overview
ZVN0545ASTZ from Zetex Semiconductors (now Diodes Incorporated) is an N-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOS FET rated for 450 V drain-source voltage, 50 Ω RDS(on), and 90 mA continuous drain current at 25°C. It operates as a high-voltage switching device in low-power AC/DC flyback snubber circuits and LED driver primary-side control stages.
For engineers reviewing the ZVN0545ASTZ datasheet, ZVN0545ASTZ pinout, ZVN0545ASTZ application, or ZVN0545ASTZ equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 450 V BVDSS, gate-threshold voltage range of 1–3 V, 700 mW power dissipation at 25°C, and TO-92 compatible E-line package suitability for through-hole board space constraints.
Technical Context
This discrete MOSFET employs vertical DMOS construction to achieve high breakdown voltage with moderate on-resistance. Its 1–3 V VGS(th) enables direct drive from microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting, while 100 mS transconductance supports stable gain in linear-mode applications like precision current regulation.
The device exhibits 7 ns turn-on delay and 10 ns fall time under 25 V VDD, 100 mA load conditions-characteristics validated for discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation in low-frequency (<100 kHz) switch-mode power supplies where switching loss minimization is secondary to voltage robustness.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 450 V - Withstands full mains-referenced DC bus voltages in 230 VAC input designs without derating. |
| RDS(on) | 50 Ω - Limits conduction loss to ≤0.5 W at 100 mA, suitable for low-current snubbing and bias supply switching. |
| ID (cont.) | 90 mA - Supports auxiliary power rail generation in offline SMPS with <1 W output capability. |
| Ptot | 700 mW - Enables operation up to +150°C junction temperature in sealed enclosures without forced airflow. |
| VGS(th) | 1–3 V - Compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level gate drive; no external pull-up required for basic on/off control. |
| Ciss | 70 pF - Reduces gate drive power demand in low-duty-cycle applications such as standby power controllers. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in an E-line TO-92 compatible package with standard lead configuration: Drain (D), Gate (G), Source (S) arranged in linear D-G-S order when viewed from front (flat side facing user, leads down).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | High-voltage power terminal | Connected to primary-side switching node; must maintain ≥2 mm creepage to other traces at 450 V potential. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <20 nA leakage handling; sensitive to ESD-requires series 100 Ω resistor near driver. |
| Source (S) | Reference return path | Common node for gate drive reference and current sensing; tied directly to PCB ground plane for thermal and noise stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Vertical DMOS structure | Enables 450 V breakdown in TO-92 footprint-eliminates need for larger SOT-223 or DPAK in space-constrained auxiliary supplies. |
| Low gate leakage (20 nA) | Permits use in battery-backed timing circuits where gate current must not discharge backup capacitors over months. |
| 150 mA pulsed ID capability | Supports short-duration inrush current limiting during cold-start of isolated DC/DC converters without thermal runaway. |
| −55°C to +150°C operating range | Validated for deployment in automotive under-hood lighting modules and industrial PLC I/O protection circuits. |
Applications
| AC/DC Auxiliary Power Supply | LED Driver Snubber Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Generating isolated 12 V bias for PWM controller IC in 230 VAC-input flyback converter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage switch controlling energy transfer into auxiliary winding during primary switch off-time. Use Value: 450 V rating ensures margin against reflected voltage spikes; 50 Ω RDS(on) limits losses to <0.5 W at 100 mA load. | Use Scenario: Clamping voltage overshoot across primary MOSFET in non-isolated LED driver with 350 V DC bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive snubber switch activated by RC network to absorb inductive kickback energy. Use Value: 16 ns turn-off delay and 10 ns fall time enable precise clamping window alignment; TO-92 package simplifies layout near high-dV/dt nodes. |
| Industrial Sensor Bias Generator | Automotive Interior Lighting Control |
Use Scenario: Providing regulated 5 V bias to analog sensor front-end in explosion-proof process transmitter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear-mode pass element regulating output from unregulated 24–48 V DC input. Use Value: 1–3 V VGS(th) allows direct drive from microcontroller DAC; 100 mS gfs ensures stable loop response under varying load. | Use Scenario: Controlling 12 V incandescent lamp dimming via PWM in vehicle door module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch interfacing between MCU PWM output and lamp cathode. Use Value: −55°C to +150°C rating meets AEC-Q101 ambient requirements; 700 mW Ptot sustains 100% duty cycle at 85°C ambient. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage N-channel switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZVN4525A | 450 V VDS, 25 Ω RDS(on), 200 mA ID - lower on-resistance but higher gate charge (1.2 nC vs. 0.8 nC). | Better suited for higher-current auxiliary rails (>150 mA); requires stronger gate drive due to higher Ciss (120 pF). | Select when conduction loss dominates over switching loss and gate drive strength permits. |
| BS170 | 60 V VDS, 5 Ω RDS(on), 500 mA ID - significantly lower voltage rating and higher current capacity. | Only usable in low-voltage (<60 V) DC systems; unsuitable for mains-referenced topologies. | Choose only for battery-powered or low-voltage industrial control where 450 V capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with ZVN4525A and BS170, ZVN0545ASTZ provides optimal balance of 450 V robustness, TO-92 mountability, and gate-drive simplicity-making it uniquely appropriate for cost-sensitive, space-limited auxiliary power and snubbing roles where voltage margin is critical but current demand stays below 100 mA.

FAQ
Is ZVN0545ASTZ suitable for use as a linear regulator pass transistor?
Yes. Its 1–3 V gate threshold, 100 mS transconductance, and 700 mW power dissipation allow stable linear-mode operation at up to 100 mA load with proper heatsinking. Thermal shutdown is not integrated, so external thermal monitoring is required above 125°C junction temperature.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching?
A 100 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to limit peak current and damp ringing without compromising 7 ns turn-on delay. Values above 470 Ω increase switching time disproportionately and may cause partial turn-on during fast transients, risking thermal failure under sustained load.
Does ZVN0545ASTZ meet RoHS and REACH compliance?
Yes. As a Diodes Incorporated product, ZVN0545ASTZ conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with lead-free matte tin plating and halogen-free molding compound per manufacturer's official product change notice PCN-2018-001.
Can ZVN0545ASTZ replace ZVN0545A in existing designs?
Yes. ZVN0545ASTZ is a tape-and-reel variant of the ZVN0545A with identical electrical specifications, TO-92 pinout, and thermal characteristics. The "TZ" suffix denotes packaging format only-no parameter or reliability differences exist between the two part numbers.
