Product details
Overview
ZXTR2105FQ from Diodes Incorporated is a monolithic 5V ±5% linear regulator transistor in SOT23, integrating an emitter-follower transistor, zener reference, and bias resistor. It delivers 15mA regulated output across 7–60V input, supports automotive AEC-Q101 qualification, and replaces discrete 3-component regulator solutions in space-constrained 12V/24V-to-5V rails.
For engineers reviewing the ZXTR2105FQ datasheet, ZXTR2105FQ pinout, ZXTR2105FQ application, or ZXTR2105FQ equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (7–60V), output accuracy (±5%), thermal resistance (200°C/W on 25mm² copper), quiescent current (450–6700µA), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive power rail regulation.
Technical Context
This device implements a series linear regulator using an integrated emitter-follower stage with internal zener-based voltage reference and fixed bias network. Regulation occurs via base-emitter voltage drop tracking of the internal zener, enabling stable 5V output without external feedback components.
It operates over -65°C to +150°C junction temperature, supports up to 320mA continuous output current at low VIN, and maintains regulation only when VIN ≥7V - below that, VOUT follows VIN–1V. ESD robustness includes 4kV HBM and 400V MM ratings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±5% - ensures compatible logic-level supply for MCU peripherals and sensors in automotive 5V domains. |
| Input Voltage Range | 7V to 60V - enables direct regulation from 12V/24V/48V vehicle batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 15mA nominal / 89mA max @VIN=12V - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensor biasing. |
| Line Regulation | 33–700mV - quantifies output drift across input voltage sweep; critical for stable operation during battery transients. |
| Quiescent Current | 450–6700µA - increases with VIN; impacts standby power in always-on automotive modules. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 200°C/W - defines maximum power dissipation (625mW) on 25mm×25mm 1oz copper PCB. |
| PSRR | 46dB @100Hz - suppresses low-frequency ripple from alternator or switching supply noise. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic package (2.4mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm), RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV71350PDBVR | Lower IQ (45µA typ), tighter VOUT tolerance (±1%), but max VIN = 5.5V - requires pre-regulation stage. | Not suitable for direct 12V/24V input; limited to post-regulated 5V domains. | Select when ultra-low standby power and high accuracy outweigh input voltage constraints. |
| LM2936Z-5.0/NOPB | Higher VIN limit (60V), wider temp range (-40°C to +125°C), but larger SOIC-8 package and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Lacks automotive qualification; unsuitable for PPAP-managed production programs. | Select for industrial applications needing same voltage specs but no automotive compliance. |
Compared with TLV71350PDBVR and LM2936Z-5.0/NOPB, ZXTR2105FQ uniquely combines 60V input capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT23 footprint - enabling single-chip 12V/24V-to-5V regulation in space- and reliability-critical automotive modules without external components.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation?
The ZXTR2105FQ requires a minimum input voltage of 7V to maintain regulated 5V output. Below 7V, the output follows VIN minus approximately 1V (VOUT ≈ VIN – 1V). This threshold is defined by the internal zener reference and emitter-base voltage drop, and is verified across temperature and load conditions per datasheet Section 4.
Can ZXTR2105FQ drive a 50mA load?
No - the device is rated for 15mA nominal output and 89mA maximum at VIN = 12V (derated at higher VIN). Attempting 50mA operation exceeds safe operating area limits, risking thermal shutdown or permanent damage. For >20mA loads, use a pass transistor or switching regulator.
Is an output capacitor mandatory?
Yes - a minimum 10µF ceramic or tantalum capacitor is required between VOUT and GND to ensure stability and transient response. The datasheet specifies this for maintaining regulation and preventing oscillation, especially under load step changes. Omitting it causes output voltage instability and potential device failure.
Does ZXTR2105FQ require a minimum load current?
Yes - a minimum load of 10µA must be drawn from VOUT to maintain regulation. This ensures proper biasing of the internal transistor and zener. Applications with intermittent or zero-load states (e.g., deep sleep modes) must include a bleeder resistor or active load to meet this requirement.
