Product details
Overview
BZX84B3V3Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101-qualified, ±2% tolerance, 3.3 V precision Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation and 5 mA test current, used for voltage regulation and reference in automotive power supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84B3V3Q-7-F datasheet, BZX84B3V3Q-7-F pinout, BZX84B3V3Q-7-F application, or BZX84B3V3Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2%), low reverse leakage (5.0 µA @ 1.0 V), temperature coefficient (-3.5 mV/°C), and automotive-grade reliability qualification.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal zener voltage of 3.3 V at 5.0 mA test current, exhibiting a maximum zener impedance of 95 Ω at IZT and 600 Ω at knee current (IZK = 1.0 mA). Its temperature coefficient is -3.5 mV/°C, indicating stable low-voltage reference behavior over temperature.
Designed for surface-mount automated assembly, it features a lead-free, halogen-free "Green" SOT23 package with UL 94V-0 flammability rating and moisture sensitivity level 1. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 357 °C/W under specified mounting conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5226BS-7-F | 3.3 V, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW, SOT23 - looser tolerance and lower power rating | Acceptable for non-critical consumer power rails but not AEC-Q101 automotive systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and qualification requirements |
| BZX84-C3V3-7-F | 3.3 V, ±5% tolerance, 350 mW, SOT23 - same package and power, but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification | Suitable for industrial control but excluded from automotive production due to missing stress-test validation | Choose only for non-automotive designs where qualification documentation is not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can sustain before breakdown?
The BZX84B3V3Q-7-F has a nominal zener voltage of 3.3 V at 5 mA test current, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 3.23 V and 3.37 V. It is not rated for sustained operation above its specified VZ range; exceeding 3.37 V risks uncontrolled current rise unless externally limited by series resistance.
Is this device suitable for use in a 5 V logic system?
No - the BZX84B3V3Q-7-F is optimized for 3.3 V reference and clamping applications. Using it in a 5 V system would result in insufficient headroom for reliable regulation and excessive power dissipation due to higher reverse current at 5 V, potentially exceeding its 350 mW rating.
Does the "Q" suffix indicate AEC-Q101 qualification for this part?
Yes - the "Q" in BZX84B3V3Q-7-F explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per Diodes Incorporated's ordering nomenclature. This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and high-temperature operating life, validating suitability for automotive under-hood and cabin applications.
How does the -3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
The negative temperature coefficient means the zener voltage decreases by 3.5 mV per degree Celsius rise. In 3.3 V systems, this results in ~11.5 mV total drift over a -40°C to +125°C automotive range - a known, bounded error that can be compensated in firmware or accommodated in analog design margins.
