Product details
Overview
ZXTN10150DZTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 150V NPN bipolar junction transistor optimized for LED TV backlight driving, featuring VCEO = 150 V, continuous collector current IC = 1 A, DC current gain hFE ≥ 100 at IC = 150 mA / VCE = 0.25 V, and SOT-89 surface-mount package with thermal resistance RθJL = 6.36 °C/W.
For engineers reviewing the ZXTN10150DZTA datasheet, ZXTN10150DZTA pinout, ZXTN10150DZTA application, or ZXTN10150DZTA equivalent, key selection criteria include high-voltage switching capability (150 V), robust pulsed current handling (ICM = 3 A), low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) ≤ 0.95 V @ IC = 150 mA), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This NPN transistor operates as a high-voltage linear or switched-mode current sink in constant-current LED driver stages. Its 150 V VCEO rating enables direct connection to boosted backlight supplies up to 120 V, while its 1 A continuous current supports multi-string configurations.
The device delivers fast switching performance with tr = 562 ns and tf = 52 ns under specified test conditions (VCC = 110 V, IC = 150 mA), and exhibits fT = 135 MHz, confirming suitability for high-frequency PWM dimming control loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 150 V - Supports operation in LED boost converter outputs up to 120 V with safety margin. |
| IC (cont) | 1 A - Enables driving of 3–5 parallel LED strings at 200–300 mA each in TV backlight modules. |
| hFE | 100 min @ IC = 150 mA - Ensures stable base drive design with low IB overhead in linear regulation mode. |
| VCE(sat) | 0.95 V max @ IC = 150 mA - Limits conduction loss to <143 mW per transistor, critical for thermal management in sealed enclosures. |
| RθJL | 6.36 °C/W - Enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pour, supporting >1 W dissipation with minimal temperature rise. |
| fT | 135 MHz - Validates adequate bandwidth for closed-loop PWM dimming feedback up to 100 kHz. |
| tf | 52 ns @ VCE(ON) = 4 V - Reduces switching transition losses during high-frequency dimming cycles. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-89-3L, surface-mount plastic case with matte tin terminals, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Emitter) | Current return path | Connected to ground or current-sense resistor; lowest impedance terminal for thermal and electrical return. |
| Pin 2 (Base) | Control input | Receives TTL- or CMOS-compatible drive; requires ~1.5 mA base current for full saturation at 150 mA collector load. |
| Pin 3 (Collector) | High-side current output | Connected to LED anode string; handles full 150 V reverse bias when off and 1 A forward current when on. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage NPN transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTN2015F | VCEO = 150 V, IC = 1.5 A, but hFE = 70 min @ IC = 500 mA - lower gain at high current. | Higher current capability suits larger LED arrays; reduced hFE demands stronger base drive circuitry. | Select when higher IC is required and base drive can be increased by 30%. |
| MJD122G | VCEO = 100 V, IC = 8 A, TO-252 package - lower voltage rating, higher current, larger footprint. | Not suitable for 120 V boost rails; better for low-voltage, high-current industrial lighting. | Choose only if system voltage is ≤80 V and PCB space allows DPAK package. |
Compared with ZXTN10150DZTA, ZXTN2015F offers higher current headroom but requires more base drive, while MJD122G trades voltage capability for current and thermal mass-making ZXTN10150DZTA optimal for compact, high-voltage LED backlight designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for ZXTN10150DZTA in continuous DC mode?
The ZXTN10150DZTA is rated for VCEO = 150 V and VCBO = 150 V under DC conditions at TA = 25 °C. Derating applies above 25 °C ambient: voltage capability decreases linearly to ~120 V at +100 °C case temperature per the SOA curve in DS35096 Rev 1–2, page 3.
Can ZXTN10150DZTA be used in linear (analog) dimming mode without thermal runaway?
Yes - its hFE variation is tightly controlled (200–450 at IC = 30 mA), and VBE(on) shows minimal drift (0.701–0.95 V) across IC = 150 mA. Combined with RθJL = 6.36 °C/W, stable linear operation is achievable up to 750 mW dissipation with proper PCB copper area.
Does ZXTN10150DZTA support 100 kHz PWM dimming without switching loss penalties?
Yes - measured tr = 562 ns and tf = 52 ns (at VCC = 110 V) yield total switching time < 1 µs, enabling clean 100 kHz PWM with < 0.1% dead-time penalty. The 135 MHz fT confirms sufficient small-signal bandwidth for gate-drive fidelity.
Is the SOT-89 package of ZXTN10150DZTA compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - it is qualified to J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. The matte tin finish and "Green" molding compound meet IPC-J-STD-020D requirements for Pb-free soldering without delamination or popcorning.
