Product details
Overview
ZXLD1350ET5TA from Diodes Incorporated is a hysteretic-mode inductive step-down LED driver IC with integrated 30V NDMOS switch, high-side current sensing, and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification. It delivers up to 350mA output current across 7–30V input, supports DC/PWM brightness control (100:1 dimming range), and operates from −40°C to +105°C ambient - used in automotive exterior lighting and industrial status indicators.
For engineers reviewing the ZXLD1350ET5TA datasheet, ZXLD1350ET5TA pinout, ZXLD1350ET5TA application, or ZXLD1350ET5TA equivalent, key selection criteria include its internal 2Ω LX switch RDS(on), 100mV current-sense threshold accuracy, 4kHz internal PWM filter, 500µs startup time, and TSOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ZXLD1350ET5TA implements a self-oscillating buck converter architecture using hysteretic control: the comparator compares ISENSE voltage (VIN–VSENSE) against an adjustable ADJ-pin-referenced threshold, with ±15% hysteresis to set switching boundaries. Its internal 200kΩ pull-up to 1.25V reference enables direct DC or open-drain PWM drive on ADJ.
Current regulation relies on external RS (e.g., 0.33Ω → 300mA nominal), where VSENSE = 100mV defines IOUT = 0.1/RS. Shutdown occurs when ADJ < 0.2V, reducing quiescent current to 15µA while retaining VREF bias for fast wake-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7V to 30V - supports 12V/24V automotive rails and industrial power supplies without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 350mA - continuous average LED current with thermal derating per θJA = 200°C/W. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 100mV ±5% - sets IOUT = 0.1/RS with typical 4% output accuracy over temperature. |
| Switch RDS(on) | 1.5Ω to 2Ω - limits conduction loss at 350mA; enables >95% peak efficiency with proper L/C selection. |
| Operating Frequency | 250kHz typical - fixed by hysteretic loop dynamics; no external clock required. |
| Dimming Control | PWM (100:1 range at f<500Hz) or DC (0.3–2.5V on ADJ) - eliminates need for external DAC or microcontroller PWM peripherals. |
| Ambient Temp Range | −40°C to +105°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 2 for under-hood and dashboard lighting. |
Pinout & Package
TSOT23-5 surface-mount package (1.6mm × 2.9mm × 0.9mm), RoHS-compliant, green molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LX | Switch drain node | Connects to inductor and LED anode; handles 500mA peak current and 40V transients. |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Must be low-impedance plane; ties internal regulator, comparator, and shutdown circuit grounds. |
| ADJ | Multifunction control input | DC voltage (0.3–2.5V) or PWM signal adjusts output current; <0.2V forces shutdown (15µA IQ). |
| ISENSE | High-side current sense input | Measures voltage drop across external RS (VIN–VSENSE); defines IOUT = 0.1/RS. |
| VIN | Power input | 7–30V supply; requires ≥1µF X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 30V NDMOS switch | Eliminates external MOSFET and gate driver; reduces BOM count and layout area in TSOT23-5 footprint. |
| Internal 4kHz PWM filter | Enables direct microcontroller GPIO PWM drive without external RC filtering; supports flicker-free dimming down to 100Hz. |
| Open-circuit LED protection | Prevents LX overvoltage during LED string disconnection - no external clamp diode required. |
| Adjustable soft-start | 0.5ms base delay (500µs to 90% IOUT) extended by 0.5ms/nF via ADJ-to-GND capacitor - prevents inrush current in sensitive systems. |
| 100:1 PWM dimming range | Validated at f<500Hz; maintains color consistency in automotive lighting by avoiding high-frequency modulation artifacts. |
Applications
| Automotive Exterior Lighting | Industrial Panel Indicators |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL8862SP-13 | Fixed-frequency (1MHz) buck controller; requires external MOSFET; no integrated switch. | Higher switching frequency allows smaller inductors but increases EMI sensitivity; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification. | Select when board space permits external FET and higher-frequency operation is prioritized over qualification and integration. |
| LM3407MMX/NOPB | Constant-current buck controller with 1.25V reference; no internal switch; 0.5A max output. | Requires external N-channel MOSFET and feedback resistor network; wider input range (6–42V) but no automotive qualification. | Choose for non-automotive designs needing higher current or broader VIN, accepting added component count and layout complexity. |
Compared with AL8862SP-13 and LM3407MMX/NOPB, the ZXLD1350ET5TA offers superior integration (no external FET), guaranteed AEC-Q100 compliance, and simpler dimming implementation - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained automotive and industrial LED systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum external current sense resistor (RS) value for ZXLD1350ET5TA?
The minimum RS is 0.27Ω when the ADJ pin is floating, yielding 370mA nominal output current while keeping LX switch current below the 500mA absolute maximum rating. Using lower RS values risks exceeding safe operating area limits and requires ADJ pin voltage adjustment to limit IOUT.
Can ZXLD1350ET5TA drive multiple LEDs in series?
Yes - the device supports series-connected LEDs as long as the total forward voltage remains below VIN minus diode and inductor losses. With 30V max input and typical 3.4V per white LED, up to eight LEDs can be driven at 350mA using appropriate inductor and catch diode ratings.
How does the internal PWM filter affect dimming performance?
The third-order 4kHz filter smooths PWM signals applied to the ADJ pin, enabling flicker-free dimming down to 100Hz. At frequencies <500Hz, it produces true on/off LED current modulation (100:1 range); above 10kHz, it yields analog-like current scaling (5:1 range) with reduced ripple and EMI.
Is an input capacitor mandatory for ZXLD1350ET5TA operation?
Yes - a minimum 1µF X7R ceramic capacitor must be placed between VIN and GND, directly adjacent to the IC. This suppresses high-frequency switching noise, sustains peak inductor current, and prevents instability. Y5V dielectrics are explicitly prohibited due to voltage/temperature coefficient drift.
