Product details
Overview
AZ23C6V2-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a dual common-anode 6.2 V Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 300 mW power dissipation, with ±5% matching between zener voltages and 10 Ω typical zener impedance at 5 mA. It provides precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained DC bias and regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the AZ23C6V2-7-F datasheet, AZ23C6V2-7-F pinout, AZ23C6V2-7-F application, or AZ23C6V2-7-F equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, JEDEC-qualified reliability data, and real-world use cases for dual-zener voltage stabilization in industrial sensor interfaces and automotive power management subsystems.
Technical Context
This dual Zener operates in common-anode configuration: Pin 1 and Pin 3 are cathodes, Pin 2 is the shared anode. Each diode exhibits a nominal 6.2 V breakdown (5.8–6.6 V range), with +0.030 %/°C temperature coefficient and 200 Ω max zener impedance at knee current (1 mA).
Thermal resistance is 417 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, FR-4 board), enabling stable operation from –65 °C to +150 °C. The device meets AEC-Q101 (HBM 8 kV, MM 400 V) and IEC 61000-4-2 (air 15 kV, contact 8 kV) ESD requirements, and is fully RoHS-compliant, halogen- and antimony-free.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.8–6.6 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines tight regulation window for reference stability |
| Max Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW - sets absolute thermal limit for continuous DC operation on standard PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 10 Ω typical at 5 mA - ensures low dynamic resistance for minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +0.030 %/°C - enables predictable, low-drift voltage reference across industrial temperature range |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at 2.0 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 417 °C/W - determines required board copper area and airflow for safe thermal margin |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-Zener provides matched 6.2 V reference for ADC driver and overvoltage clamp on analog input line. Use Value: Eliminates need for two separate Zeners while maintaining ≤5% inter-channel VZ mismatch for ratiometric accuracy. |
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus transceiver inputs against load-dump transients in door module ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-anode configuration clamps both high-side and low-side signal lines to battery rail during surge events. Use Value: Single-device dual-clamp reduces BOM count and PCB area versus discrete TVS + Zener solutions. |
| Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Analog Input Protection | Medical Infusion Pump Power Rail Monitoring |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 4–20 mA loop receiver circuitry from field-wiring faults and ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One cathode regulates reference for current-to-voltage conversion; the other clamps input to 6.2 V above ground. Use Value: Enables simultaneous precision biasing and fault tolerance within <1.5 mm² footprint. |
Use Scenario: Providing redundant 6.2 V reference for microcontroller brown-out detection and pump motor driver enable logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual cathodes feed independent monitoring paths to ensure fail-safe shutdown if either rail deviates.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX79-C6V2 (Nexperia) | Single Zener, DO-35 package, 500 mW rating, ±5% tolerance, no dual configuration | Requires two devices and additional routing for dual-reference use; lacks common-anode integration | Select when higher power (500 mW) is needed and board space allows discrete implementation |
| DZ23C6V2-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Common-cathode dual Zener, same SOT23 package, identical 6.2 V rating and 300 mW rating | Reverses polarity: cathodes shared, anodes independent - suited for positive-rail clamping vs. negative-rail referencing | Choose for designs requiring cathode-referenced biasing or complementary layout to AZ23 series |
Compared with BZX79-C6V2 and DZ23C6V2-7-F, AZ23C6V2-7-F uniquely supports common-anode referencing - critical for ground-referenced voltage sources and dual-rail clamping where shared negative terminal simplifies return path design and improves thermal coupling.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for AZ23C6V2-7-F at 25°C?
The device is rated for 300 mW total power dissipation. At nominal 6.2 V, this corresponds to ~48 mA maximum average Zener current (IZ = PD/VZ). Derating applies above 25°C per Fig. 1: at 85°C ambient, max IZ drops to ~22 mA. Operation must remain within the 5.8–6.6 V VZ band and avoid exceeding 200 Ω ZZK at 1 mA.
Can AZ23C6V2-7-F be used for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - it is a unidirectional Zener diode pair configured for forward-biased anode and reverse-biased cathodes. For bidirectional ESD clamping, a dedicated TVS array like D3V3F1U2UP-7 is required. AZ23C6V2-7-F provides only cathode-to-anode breakdown (6.2 V) and conducts only when cathodes are driven positive relative to the common anode.
Is there a recommended PCB pad layout for optimal thermal performance?
Yes - Diodes specifies a 0.9 mm × 2.9 mm pad layout (X=0.8 mm, Y=0.9 mm, X1=1.35 mm, Y1=2.9 mm, C=2.0 mm). Using this layout on 1-oz FR-4 achieves the rated 417 °C/W RθJA. Reducing pad size or omitting thermal relief vias increases junction temperature and risks exceeding 150°C TJ at full 300 mW.
Does AZ23C6V2-7-F meet AEC-Q200 stress testing requirements?
No - it is qualified to AEC-Q101 (for discrete semiconductors), not AEC-Q200 (for passive components). Its qualification covers HBM/MM ESD, temperature cycling, and high-temperature operating life relevant to active devices. For passive-grade stress testing (e.g., vibration, humidity bias), consult the automotive-grade Q-suffix variant AZ23C6V2Q-7-F.
