Product details
Overview
ZXTN4002ZTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 100V NPN bipolar junction transistor optimized for LED backlight driving in LCD TVs, featuring BVCEO ≥ 100 V, IC(cont) = 1 A, hFE > 100 at 150 mA / 200 mV, SOT89 package, and AEC-Q101 qualification for high-reliability industrial and display applications.
For engineers reviewing the ZXTN4002ZTA datasheet, ZXTN4002ZTA pinout, ZXTN4002ZTA application, or ZXTN4002ZTA equivalent, key selection criteria include high-voltage switching capability (100 V), robust continuous current handling (1 A), low VBE(on) (0.72–0.95 V), fast switching times (ts = 1540 ns, tf = 251 ns), and thermal performance (RθJL = 22.44 °C/W) in SOT89.
Technical Context
This NPN transistor operates as a high-voltage, medium-current switch in constant-current LED string drivers. Its 100 V VCEO rating supports operation across wide input rails (e.g., 48–80 V DC bus), while its hFE ≥ 100 at 150 mA ensures stable base drive efficiency under typical backlight bias conditions.
Thermal design leverages the SOT89 package's low RθJL (22.44 °C/W) to sustain 1.5 W power dissipation on standard FR4 PCBs. Switching behavior is characterized under pulsed conditions (300 µs, ≤2% duty cycle), with measured td/tr/ts/tf enabling predictable timing in PWM-dimmed LED drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 100 V - Enables direct switching of LED strings powered from 48–80 V supplies without external voltage clamping. |
| IC(cont) | 1 A - Supports driving up to 8–12 parallel LED strings at 80–120 mA each in TV backlight modules. |
| hFE | ≥100 @ 150 mA/0.2 V - Reduces required base drive current, easing MCU GPIO or driver IC loading in compact designs. |
| VBE(on) | 0.72–0.95 V @ 150 mA - Minimizes base power loss and improves efficiency in high-duty-cycle PWM dimming. |
| RθJL | 22.44 °C/W - Allows 1.5 W dissipation with <10 °C rise above solder point, simplifying thermal layout on single-layer PCBs. |
| ts + tf | 1791 ns total - Ensures clean turn-off transitions in 1–5 kHz PWM dimming, reducing LED current overshoot and EMI. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT89 - surface-mount plastic package with exposed collector tab for enhanced thermal conduction and mechanical anchoring; UL 94V-0 rated, MSL Level 1, matte tin terminals, 0.052 g weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Emitter) | Current sink node | Connected to ground or current-sense resistor; low-impedance path for full LED string return current. |
| Pin 2 (Base) | Control input | Receives TTL- or CMOS-compatible drive; requires ~1.5 mA for full saturation at 150 mA load. |
| Pin 3 (Collector) | High-side switch output | Connected to LED anode(s); electrically and thermally tied to exposed metal tab for heat spreading. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability (−55°C to +150°C TJ), supporting industrial display and transportation lighting use. |
| 100 V breakdown rating | Eliminates need for external snubbers or TVS diodes in 48–80 V LED supply rails, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| SOT89 thermal performance | RθJL = 22.44 °C/W enables 1.5 W operation without heatsink on standard FR4, lowering system cost and assembly complexity. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Complies with RoHS and Diodes Inc.'s "Green" policy - no antimony, bromine, or intentionally added lead. |
Applications
| LED TV Backlight Driver | Industrial Panel Display |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 6–10 parallel white LED strings in 32–55 inch LCD TVs with PWM dimming at 1–3 kHz. IC Role / Device Role: High-voltage NPN switch controlling LED cathode current path; operated in saturation for minimal conduction loss. Use Value: 100 V VCEO withstands transient surges on 72 V bus; 1 A rating supports multi-string scalability without paralleling devices. | Use Scenario: Constant-current LED array control in factory HMIs, medical displays, and outdoor kiosks operating at −40°C to +85°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role: Robust discrete switch replacing less reliable MOSFETs in high-temp, high-humidity environments. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and −55°C to +150°C TJ range ensure long-term stability where conformal coating and thermal cycling are critical. |
| Commercial Signage Lighting | Automotive Interior Lighting |
Use Scenario: Modular LED strip drivers in retail signage with 24–48 V input and analog/PWM dimming interfaces. IC Role / Device Role: Primary current-switching element in linear or quasi-resonant LED driver stages. Use Value: Low VBE(on) (0.72 V) minimizes base drive power; hFE ≥ 100 ensures consistent gain across production lots. | Use Scenario: Dome light and map light drivers in passenger vehicles requiring ISO 16750-compliant surge immunity and extended temperature operation. IC Role / Device Role: High-reliability switching transistor in non-safety-critical interior lighting modules. Use Value: Qualified to AEC-Q101 and rated for 150°C junction temperature - exceeds automotive cabin thermal requirements without derating. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage NPN switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTN2002ZTA | VCEO = 60 V, IC = 1 A, hFE ≥ 100 - lower voltage rating, same package and gain. | Suitable only for ≤48 V LED supplies; not recommended for 72 V bus systems. | Select when input voltage is capped at 48 V and cost sensitivity outweighs voltage margin. |
| MJD122G | VCEO = 100 V, IC = 1.5 A, hFE = 40–120 - higher current but wider hFE spread and TO-252 package. | Requires larger PCB footprint and different thermal layout; less precise gain control in closed-loop drivers. | Prefer when peak current >1 A is needed and SOT89 thermal constraints are not limiting. |
Compared with ZXTN2002ZTA and MJD122G, ZXTN4002ZTA uniquely balances 100 V capability, tight hFE consistency, SOT89 thermal efficiency, and AEC-Q101 compliance - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability LED backlighting where voltage margin and gain predictability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for ZXTN4002ZTA?
The ZXTN4002ZTA has a specified junction temperature range of −55°C to +150°C and is qualified per AEC-Q101. Under continuous 1 A operation on a 25 mm × 25 mm FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper, junction temperature remains below 125°C when ambient is ≤85°C - verified by RθJA = 83 °C/W and RθJL = 22.44 °C/W data.
Can ZXTN4002ZTA be used in linear regulator configurations?
No - ZXTN4002ZTA is optimized for switching operation in saturation/cutoff modes, not linear regulation. Its SOA curve and thermal resistance are validated for pulsed and switched loads, not continuous linear dissipation. For linear applications, Diodes' ZTX series or dedicated LDOs are recommended.
Does ZXTN4002ZTA require a base resistor in PWM-driven LED circuits?
Yes - a series base resistor is mandatory to limit IB and ensure saturation. With hFE ≥ 100 at 150 mA, ~1.5 mA base current is required; using a 3.3 kΩ resistor with 5 V drive yields ~1.5 mA, providing sufficient overdrive while avoiding excessive base power loss.
Is ZXTN4002ZTA compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - ZXTN4002ZTA is RoHS-compliant and rated for MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can withstand multiple reflow cycles up to 260°C peak without preconditioning. The matte tin finish and green molding compound are fully compatible with standard lead-free soldering processes.
