ALED6001 eDesign dimming setting

Hi Sir,

​

ALED6001 eDesign show BJT is as the red rectangle.

0693W00000ANG4eQAH.pngHowever, most PNP BJT is show as below picture.

0693W00000ANG5IQAX.pngI search some data, they show exchanging BJT's E and C, BJT can work.

However, the hfe will decrease and the BJT cannot afford high voltage.

Below example is for NPN.

Why eDesign exchange E and C?

Thank you.

Please don't be confused by the different types of BJT: the eDesignSuite proposes a npn BJT but you are talking about a pnp.
