Product details
Overview
DDZ10B-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 9.41–9.90 V at 20 mA, ±5% tolerance, 8 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA, and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 8.0 V. It operates in SOD123 package, rated for 470 mW power dissipation at +25°C ambient, and serves as a stable voltage reference in low-power analog monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ10B-7 datasheet, DDZ10B-7 pinout, DDZ10B-7 application, or DDZ10B-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tightness (±2.5% typical), low temperature coefficient (≈+0.05%/°C near 10 V), SOD123 footprint compatibility, and automotive-grade availability via DDZ10BQ-7 variant.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining a stable reference by operating in reverse breakdown. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 20 mA, with low dynamic impedance (8 Ω) ensuring minimal output variation under load current shifts.
Thermal performance is defined for two mounting conditions: 266°C/W junction-to-ambient (FR-4, 1 in² copper pad) and 425°C/W (minimum recommended pad). The cathode band identifies polarity, and the device exhibits negligible forward conduction below 0.9 V at 10 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.41–9.90 V @ IZT = 20 mA - defines stable regulation point with ±2.5% typical spread |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 8 Ω @ 1 kHz, 20 mA - ensures <16 mV output shift per 2 mA load change |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA @ VR = 8.0 V - enables ultra-low standby current in battery-backed references |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 470 mW @ TA = +25°C - supports continuous operation up to ~10 mA average zener current |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 266 °C/W - requires ≥1 in² copper pour for safe full-power operation at 75°C ambient |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.05 %/°C (typical near 10 V) - contributes <±1.25 mV/°C drift over –40 to +85°C range |
| Package | SOD123 - industry-standard 2-pin surface-mount outline, compatible with automated pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
DDZ10B-7 uses the SOD123 plastic molded package (1.55 mm × 2.65 mm × 1.05 mm), with matte tin–annealed terminals on Alloy 42 leadframe. Cathode is marked by a visible band on the body end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system GND; forms return path for zener current and defines 0 V reference plane |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Supplies stable voltage to load; polarity marked by cathode band; must be biased positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision Zener voltage tolerance | ±2.5% typical (9.41–9.90 V range) - reduces need for post-assembly trimming in voltage monitor designs |
| Low dynamic impedance | 8 Ω at 20 mA - maintains regulation stability across varying load currents in feedback networks |
| Ultra-low reverse leakage | 0.1 µA @ 8.0 V - minimizes error current in high-impedance reference dividers and sensor biasing |
| Automated assembly compatibility | SOD123 footprint with J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity - supports high-yield reflow without baking |
| Green, RoHS-compliant construction | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) - meets automotive and industrial environmental mandates |
Applications
| Power Supply Monitoring | ADC Reference Stabilization |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C10LT1G | Zener voltage 9.4–10.6 V (±5%), ZZT = 20 Ω @ 5 mA, SOT-23 package | Higher impedance and wider tolerance; smaller footprint but lower power handling (300 mW) | Preferred where board space is constrained and 5 mA operation suffices |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | Zener voltage 9.5–10.5 V (±5%), ZZT = 17 Ω @ 20 mA, SOD-123 package, same power rating | Nearly identical electrical specs but higher typical ZZT; no automotive qualification option | Valid drop-in for non-automotive designs requiring cost-optimized sourcing |
Compared with DDZ10B-7, BZX84-C10LT1G trades precision and power for size, while MMSZ5240B-TP matches package and rating but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification-making DDZ10B-7 the only choice for automotive-critical voltage references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous zener current for DDZ10B-7 at +75°C ambient?
At TL = +75°C, the maximum power dissipation is 500 mW (per Note 6). With VZ ≈ 9.65 V, the corresponding max continuous zener current is approximately 52 mA. This assumes proper PCB thermal relief (RθJL = 132°C/W) and does not exceed the 20 mA test condition used for specification - sustained operation above 20 mA requires derating analysis.
Is DDZ10B-7 suitable for use as a voltage reference in a 16-bit DAC buffer circuit?
Yes - its 8 Ω dynamic impedance and ±2.5% VZ tolerance support 16-bit accuracy when combined with external trimming or calibration. However, long-term drift (±1.5% over 1000 hrs) and temperature coefficient (+0.05%/°C) mean it's best suited for moderate-accuracy applications; for metrology-grade DACs, a buried-zener reference IC is preferred.
Does DDZ10B-7 have automotive qualification, and what does that entail?
Yes - the automotive variant DDZ10BQ-7 is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF16949-certified facilities. This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD, plus process controls ensuring lot-to-lot consistency required for safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
How does the SOD123 package affect thermal performance compared to larger packages like DO-35?
The SOD123 package has higher thermal resistance (266°C/W vs. ~200°C/W for DO-35 on equivalent PCBs), limiting its usable power at elevated ambient temperatures. Its compact size also reduces heat-sinking area - designs requiring >300 mW continuous dissipation should verify board layout meets Diodes' recommended 1 in² copper pad to avoid junction overheating.
