Product details
Overview
AZ23C47-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a dual common-anode 300 mW surface-mount Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 47 V (44–50 V range), ±5% matching between diodes, and 750 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 1 mA. It operates from −65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the AZ23C47-7-F datasheet, AZ23C47-7-F pinout, AZ23C47-7-F application, or AZ23C47-7-F equivalent, this dual Zener supports matched-clamp designs in isolated DC-DC converters, rail-to-rail voltage monitoring circuits, and dual-threshold detection systems where thermal tracking and low leakage (<0.1 µA at 35 V) are critical.
Technical Context
This device integrates two Zener diodes sharing a common anode terminal in a single SOT23 package, enabling compact dual-reference or symmetrical clamping without discrete pairing. Its matched voltage tolerance (≤5% ΔVZ) and stable temperature coefficient (+0.110 %/°C) support tightly coupled regulation paths.
Designed for automated assembly and high-reliability industrial use, it meets JEDEC reliability standards, features halogen/antimony-free "Green" molding compound (UL 94V-0), and carries AEC-Q101 qualification readiness via automotive-grade variants (Q-suffix).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage Range | 44 V to 50 V at IZT = 1 mA - defines usable clamping window under standard test conditions |
| Max Zener Impedance | 750 Ω at IZK = 1 mA - limits regulation error under light-load transient conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 300 mW - sets absolute thermal limit on PCB with recommended pad layout |
| Temp Coefficient | +0.110 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius above 25 °C |
| Reverse Leakage | <0.1 µA at 35 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Operating Temp | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports extended-range industrial and under-hood automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1, weight 0.008 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Common Anode Node | Shared cathode return path for both Zeners; connects to system ground or reference node |
| Cathode A (Pin 2) | Zener A Cathode | First Zener output; reverse-biased to clamp or regulate at 44–50 V |
| Cathode B (Pin 3) | Zener B Cathode | Second Zener output; enables matched dual-threshold or redundancy configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Zener, Common Anode | Enables space-efficient dual-reference generation with intrinsic thermal tracking |
| ≤5% ΔVZ Matching | Guarantees tight voltage correlation between diodes for differential or redundant sensing |
| 300 mW Power Rating | Supports sustained clamping in 5–10 mA feedback paths without derating below 70 °C ambient |
| AEC-Q101 Ready | Validated HBM ESD rating (8 kV), MM (400 V), and IEC 61000-4-2 (Air 15 kV / Contact 8 kV) |

Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Isolated DC-DC Output Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating secondary-side output voltage in flyback or forward converters using optocoupler-coupled feedback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual Zener provides matched reference and overvoltage clamp on TL431 cathode path. Use Value: Eliminates need for two separate Zeners, reducing BOM count and improving thermal tracking of reference thresholds. |
Use Scenario: Detecting overvoltage on isolated 48 V telecom rails before enabling downstream load switches. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One Zener clamps at 47 V; second acts as backup threshold detector with identical tempco. Use Value: Enables fault-tolerant monitoring with <5% inter-diode VZ mismatch, minimizing false trips across temperature. |
| Rail-to-Rail Voltage Supervisor | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Monitoring dual supply rails (e.g., ±15 V analog stages) for undervoltage/overvoltage faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-anode configuration allows independent cathode connections to each rail's sense node. Use Value: Single-component solution replaces two discrete Zeners while maintaining matched breakdown behavior. |
Use Scenario: Protecting ADC inputs from transients in 4–20 mA loop-powered sensor interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamps input to 47 V during surge events; low leakage preserves signal integrity at rest. Use Value: 0.1 µA max reverse leakage at 35 V prevents loading of high-impedance sensor outputs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX79-C47,113 | Single Zener, DO-35 through-hole, 500 mW, 44–50 V, no matching spec | Requires two devices for dual function; lacks thermal coupling and ΔVZ guarantee | Choose only when through-hole mounting or higher power (>300 mW) is mandatory |
| DZ23C47-7-F | Dual Zener, common cathode configuration, same SOT23 package, identical VZ range | Reverses polarity logic - cathodes shared instead of anodes; requires PCB layout change | Select when circuit topology favors common-cathode biasing (e.g., NPN-based shunt regulators) |
Compared with BZX79-C47,113 and DZ23C47-7-F, AZ23C47-7-F uniquely delivers matched dual-Zener performance in a common-anode SOT23 footprint - essential for compact, thermally coupled reference and clamp functions where layout symmetry matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for AZ23C47-7-F at 25°C?
The device is rated for 300 mW total power dissipation. At 47 V nominal Zener voltage, this corresponds to approximately 6.4 mA maximum continuous current (300 mW ÷ 47 V). Derating begins above 70°C ambient per the published power derating curve.
Does AZ23C47-7-F support automotive qualification?
The base part is not automotive-qualified, but Diodes offers a pin-compatible Q-suffix variant (AZ23C47-Q-7-F) qualified to AEC-Q101, manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities, and PPAP-capable - available upon request for automotive design-in.
How is polarity identified on the SOT23 package?
The SOT23 package uses standard Diodes Incorporated top-marking: "31" denotes AZ23C47. Pin 1 (anode) is located at the end with the cathode band indicator (notch or beveled edge); pins are numbered counter-clockwise with Pin 1 at bottom-left when marking faces up.
Can AZ23C47-7-F replace a single 47 V Zener in existing designs?
Yes - one cathode (Pin 2 or Pin 3) can be used independently while leaving the other cathode unconnected. The unused cathode exhibits typical Zener leakage (<0.1 µA), introducing negligible error in most reference applications.
