Product details
Overview
BZX84C3V0-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0 V, 350 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications at 5 mA test current, with ±0.2 V tolerance (2.8–3.2 V), 95 Ω dynamic impedance, and −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient. It serves as a stable shunt voltage reference in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback paths, and overvoltage protection clamps.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C3V0-7 datasheet, BZX84C3V0-7 pinout, BZX84C3V0-7 application, or BZX84C3V0-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage accuracy, thermal coefficient stability, low reverse leakage (≤10 µA @ 1.0 V), SOT23 footprint compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across a 1.0–5.0 mA operating range. Its planar die construction ensures consistent parametric performance and robustness against transient stress.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. Thermal resistance is 357 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, free-air), supporting reliable operation up to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5223BS-7-F | 3.0 V Zener, 200 mW rating, 100 Ω ZZT, same SOT23 package | Lower power handling limits sustained current to ≤3 mA; less suitable for >5 mA regulation loads | Select when board space is constrained and thermal budget permits lower dissipation |
| BZX84-C3V0,115 | Identical electrical specs but packaged in 10,000-piece tape-and-reel (−13-F suffix); same AEC-Q101 qualification | No functional difference; only packaging and reel size differ | Choose for high-volume production runs requiring larger reels to reduce changeover frequency |
Compared with MMBZ5223BS-7-F, BZX84C3V0-7 delivers 75% higher power margin and tighter ZZT; versus BZX84-C3V0,115, it offers identical performance in smaller 3,000-piece reels-ideal for prototyping and mid-volume builds.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZX84C3V0-7 at 1.0 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 10 µA at VR = 1.0 V and TA = 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on monitoring circuits and preserves battery life in portable devices.
Is BZX84C3V0-7 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-BZX84C3V0-7 is AEC-Q101 qualified and manufactured with halogen- and antimony-free green molding compound. It meets automotive reliability requirements for under-hood and cabin electronics including body control modules and sensor interfaces.
How does the −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
This negative coefficient means output voltage decreases by 3.5 mV per degree Celsius rise. Designers use it to compensate for positive TC components (e.g., op-amp offsets) or apply linear correction in firmware-enabling stable references across −40°C to +125°C.
Can BZX84C3V0-7 replace BZX84C3V3 in a 3.3 V reference circuit?
No-BZX84C3V0-7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.0 V (2.8–3.2 V), while BZX84C3V3 is 3.3 V (3.1–3.5 V). Substituting would shift regulation point by ~300 mV, potentially causing undervoltage lockout or incorrect ADC scaling unless circuit tolerances accommodate the difference.
