It's not often you see new pnp power transistors

In the world of mosfets and hemts, new pnp power transistors are rarely seen.

Earlier this year, Diodes did this. It uses about 2.5W dual pnp bipolar for switching car lighting, especially matrix headlights. This kind of headlights that will be available soon project an image of a high fill factor square array Change the beam shape. Late at night led lights-allowing immersion and main patterns, while any other form of onboard computer seems very useful and dazzling.

In any case, the parts start with ZXT. So I can't help thinking that they are matrix diodes (different from the headlights, but a usage of "matrix"), the same as the Lancashire parts of Diodes that were once Zetex.

These transistors have low saturation and can use silicon efficiently, so they have a smaller die (and therefore cheaper) compared to MOSFETs-the disadvantage is that they have a slower switching speed and require some base current-despite the gain Usually not more than 100, even close to saturation.

These parts are

ZXTP56060FDBQ 60V 2A

ZXTP56020FDBQ 20V 2A (Vce(sat)<200mV when Ic = 700mA)

The package adopts 2 x 2 x 0.6mm surface mount, and the parts meet the automotive standards of AEC-Q101 and PPAP.
