Product details
Overview
ZXTP2013ZTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 100V PNP medium-power bipolar junction transistor in SOT89 package, rated for -3.5A continuous collector current, with VCE(SAT) < -85mV at -1A, hFE ≥ 100 at -1A, and RSAT = 57mΩ - used as a high-current power switch in DC motor drivers and MOSFET/IGBT gate drivers.
For engineers reviewing the ZXTP2013ZTA datasheet, ZXTP2013ZTA pinout, ZXTP2013ZTA application, or ZXTP2013ZTA equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed low saturation voltage under high IC, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability, and complementary pairing with ZXTN2011Z for push-pull topologies.
Technical Context
This PNP transistor operates in linear and switching modes with BVCEO = -100V and VBE(SAT) = -970mV at -4A/-400mA, enabling robust gate drive for high-side N-channel MOSFETs. Its fT = 125MHz supports fast turn-on/turn-off transitions in PWM-controlled loads.
The device delivers stable hFE across temperature (−55°C to +150°C) and current (up to −10A), with specified gain down to −10A for hold-up capability in sustained overload conditions - critical for emergency lighting and fan control circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −100 V - ensures safe operation in 48V and 60V industrial bus systems with margin against transients |
| IC (continuous) | −3.5 A - supports medium-power switching without external heatsinking on 25×25mm PCB |
| VCE(SAT) | < −85 mV @ −1A - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle applications |
| hFE | ≥ 100 @ −1A - enables low-base-drive-current control of high collector loads |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W (50×50mm PCB) - defines thermal derating slope for sustained power dissipation up to 2.1W |
| fT | 125 MHz - supports sub-100ns switching in gate driver and inverter applications |
| Package | SOT89 - surface-mount, thermally enhanced plastic case with exposed emitter tab for PCB heat sinking |
Pinout & Package
SOT89 package with molded green plastic housing, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, matte tin-plated leads, and exposed emitter pad for thermal conduction to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Emitter) | Current sink terminal / thermal path | Exposed metal tab - must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal management |
| Pin 2 (Collector) | Main current output node | Connected to load return path; electrically isolated from tab but thermally coupled via package |
| Pin 3 (Base) | Control input | Low-impedance drive required; base resistor sizing must ensure IB/IC ≤ 0.1 for saturation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive power electronics with PPAP support and IATF 16949 manufacturing |
| Low VCE(SAT) at high IC | < −300 mV @ −4A ensures <1.2W conduction loss in 4A motor drive stages |
| High hFE up to −10A | Maintains gain stability during surge currents - reduces base drive circuit complexity |
| Green, halogen-free construction | <900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - meets global environmental compliance without performance trade-offs |
| Complementary NPN pairing | ZXTN2011Z shares identical SOT89 footprint and matched gain/saturation specs for balanced push-pull designs |
Applications
| Emergency Lighting Control | DC Fan Motor Driver |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP medium-power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTP2021ZTA | VCEO = −60V, IC = −2.5A, VCE(SAT) = −110mV @ −1A | Limited to 24V systems; lower current capacity reduces thermal margin in fan drivers | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage/current headroom requirements |
| MJD2955T4G | TO-220 package, VCEO = −70V, IC = −10A, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Requires heatsink; unsuitable for automotive or space-constrained PCBs | Choose only for non-automotive, high-current legacy designs where thermal mass compensates for lower efficiency |
Compared with ZXTP2013ZTA, ZXTP2021ZTA trades voltage/current headroom for lower cost in 24V applications, while MJD2955T4G offers higher current but lacks automotive qualification and surface-mount compatibility - making ZXTP2013ZTA optimal for AEC-Q101-compliant, thermally constrained, medium-power switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for ZXTP2013ZTA?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, with continuous operation permitted from −55°C to +150°C. Derating begins at +25°C ambient: power dissipation drops linearly at 16.8mW/°C when mounted on a 50×50mm 1oz copper PCB, limiting usable power to 2.1W at 25°C ambient.
Is ZXTP2013ZTA pin-compatible with ZXTN2011Z?
Yes - both devices use identical SOT89 packages with matching pinout (Emitter–Collector–Base), enabling direct layout reuse in complementary push-pull or H-bridge configurations without PCB redesign.
Does ZXTP2013ZTA require a base resistor, and how is it calculated?
Yes - a base resistor is mandatory to limit IB. For saturation at −1A, use IB ≥ −100mA (IC/IB ≤ 10); with VBE(SAT) ≈ −970mV, a 10Ω resistor is typical when driven from a 0V/−5V logic source.
Can ZXTP2013ZTA replace older PNP transistors like BD139 in new designs?
No - BD139 uses TO-126 package, has VCEO = −80V and IC = −1.5A, and lacks AEC-Q101 qualification. ZXTP2013ZTA offers superior voltage rating, current capability, thermal performance, and automotive compliance, but requires SOT89 footprint adaptation.
