Product details
Overview
ZXTP749FTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 25V PNP low-saturation transistor in SOT23 package, rated for -3A continuous collector current, -25V VCEO, and VCE(sat) < -150 mV at -1A. It serves as a high-current switching element in MOSFET gate drive and automotive power control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ZXTP749FTA datasheet, ZXTP749FTA pinout, ZXTP749FTA application, or ZXTP749FTA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified -25V VCEO, -150mV saturation voltage at -1A, AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT23 thermal resistance (RθJA = 172°C/W), and complementary pairing with ZXTN649F.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates with forward blocking up to -35V (VCBO) and supports pulsed base currents up to -2A. Its hFE is characterized from -100mA to -6A, maintaining ≥100 at -6A under VCE = -2V, enabling stable gain in high-current switching.
The device delivers RCE(sat) = 87 mΩ and integrates matte tin-plated leads compliant with MIL-STD-202 solderability. Thermal performance is specified for 15mm × 15mm × 1.6mm FR4 PCB with single-sided 1 oz. copper, yielding RθJL = 79°C/W to collector lead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -25 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter reverse bias before breakdown in common-emitter configuration |
| IC (continuous) | -3 A - Sustained DC current handling capability without thermal runaway on standard PCB layout |
| VCE(sat) | < -150 mV @ -1A, -100mA - Ensures minimal conduction loss in high-side switch or gate driver pull-down stage |
| PD | 725 mW - Power dissipation limit at TA = +25°C with defined PCB copper area and airflow |
| hFE | 100 min @ -6A, VCE = -2V - Confirmed current gain retention under full-rated load for predictable base drive sizing |
| RθJA | 172 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance defining temperature rise per watt on reference board |
| ESD HBM | 4,000 V - Human Body Model rating confirming robustness during board assembly and handling |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - Surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals, 0.008 g mass, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current source terminal in PNP operation | Connected to higher potential rail; carries full load current into external circuit |
| 2 (Base) | Control input for minority-carrier injection | Receives negative current to turn on; requires -100mA for full saturation at -1A IC |
| 3 (Collector) | Current sink terminal in PNP operation | Connected to load return path; voltage swing limited to -25V maximum relative to emitter |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | < -150 mV @ -1A ensures ≤150 mW conduction loss in gate-drive pull-down stage |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive power switching applications including engine control and body electronics |
| Complementary NPN pairing | ZXTN649F enables matched push-pull output stages with symmetrical switching characteristics |
| Green construction | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) meets global environmental compliance |
| High pulse current capability | ICM = -6A supports short-duration motor stall or inrush current events without failure |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTP2026F | VCEO = -20V, IC = -2A, VCE(sat) = -180mV @ -1A | Lower voltage/current rating; suitable only for ≤20V systems | Select when lower cost and reduced performance margin are acceptable |
| MBT3906DW1T1G | VCEO = -40V, IC = -200mA, VCE(sat) = -300mV @ -50mA | Higher voltage rating but insufficient current capacity for gate drive or motor loads | Use only in low-power signal-level switching, not power switching |
Compared with ZXTP749FTA, ZXTP2026F trades 5V/1A headroom for cost reduction, while MBT3906DW1T1G offers higher blocking voltage but cannot support >200mA continuous loads-making ZXTP749FTA uniquely balanced for 24V industrial gate driving and AEC-Q101-compliant automotive switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage for ZXTP749FTA?
The absolute maximum VCEO is -25V at TA = +25°C. This rating applies in common-emitter configuration with base open. Exceeding this value risks avalanche breakdown and permanent device damage, especially under transient conditions without clamping.
Does ZXTP749FTA require a heatsink in standard SOT23 mounting?
No external heatsink is required for ≤725 mW steady-state dissipation on a 15mm × 15mm × 1.6mm FR4 PCB with 1 oz. copper. The RθJA of 172°C/W results in ~125°C junction rise at full power-within the -55°C to +150°C operating range if ambient stays below +25°C.
Is ZXTP749FTA pin-compatible with ZXTN649F?
No-ZXTP749FTA (PNP) and ZXTN649F (NPN) share identical SOT23 pinout (Emitter-Base-Collector), but their polarity and biasing requirements differ fundamentally. They are complementary types intended for paired use in push-pull circuits, not direct replacements.
Can ZXTP749FTA be used in linear amplification mode?
It is not optimized for linear operation. The datasheet specifies hFE and VCE(sat) under switching conditions (pulsed, duty cycle ≤2%). No small-signal parameters (e.g., fT, Cobo) are guaranteed for analog gain applications, and thermal instability may occur under sustained linear bias.
