DXTN80030DFG Transistor Data
Key transistor data for the DXTN80030 transistor including key electrical parameters, pinout, package type and many other key transistor datasheet details.
The DXTN80030DFG is one of a series of modern very low on resistance bipolar transistors from Diodes Inc. which are intended for high performance automotive circuits, although there are many other uses.
The DXTN80030DFG is similar to the DXTN78030DFG and DXTN78060DFG but it has a higher voltage capability opening its use out to more applications.
However the current capability is lower, the saturation voltage is slightly higher, amd hFE is lower.

Differences between DXTN78030 and DXTN80030
It might appear that the DXTN78030 and DXTN80030 are very similar devices, but there are some significant differences between the two which may alter a decision about which device to select.
1. Voltage Handling:
The DXTN80030 is the "higher voltage" version of the two. It offers a VCEO of 100V, compared to the 80V of the DXTN78030.
If your circuit operates near or above 60V, the DXTN80030 provides a larger safety margin against transient voltage spikes.
2. Saturation Characteristics:
Both transistors are marketed as "Ultra-Low Saturation." This means that when the transistor is fully turned on (saturated), the voltage drop between the collector and emitter is exceptionally small.
Thermal Efficiency: Because P=V×I, a lower saturation voltage results in significantly less heat dissipation within the transistor.
Efficiency: This makes both ideal for battery-powered devices where maximizing efficiency is critical.
3. AEC-Q101 Qualification
The DXTN80030 will often be listed as DXTN80030DFGQ, where the "Q" indicates it is AEC-Q101 qualified. This means it has undergone rigorous testing for automotive applications.
While DXTN78030 versions exist with this qualification, the 100V rating of the 80030 makes it a more common choice for automotive 48V systems.
Summary: Which one should you use?
Use the DXTN78030 if your operating voltage is strictly below 80V and you want the most cost-effective option for high-speed switching or power management.
Use the DXTN80030 if you require a higher breakdown voltage (up to 100V) or if you are designing for automotive systems that require an extra layer of voltage protection and AEC-Q101 compliance.
