Product details
Overview
DDZ11C-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 10.82–11.38 V at 10 mA test current, 10 Ω maximum zener impedance at 10 mA, and ±0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 8.4 V. It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C and delivers stable voltage reference in low-power analog monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ11C-7 datasheet, DDZ11C-7 pinout, DDZ11C-7 application, or DDZ11C-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include tight zener voltage tolerance (±2.5% at 11 V), low thermal resistance (425 °C/W on minimal pad), SOD123 package compatibility with automated assembly, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference diode operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (~+0.06 %/°C near 11 V), enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable bias networks.
Designed for low-noise, low-current regulation, it supports 10 mA nominal zener test current and maintains <0.1 µA reverse current up to 8.4 V - critical for high-impedance sensing nodes and precision ADC reference buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.82–11.38 V @ IZT = 10 mA - ensures ±2.5% tolerance for accurate 11 V reference generation |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 10 Ω max @ 10 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max @ VR = 8.4 V - preserves signal integrity in high-Z feedback paths |
| Power Dissipation | 294 mW @ TA = 25°C (min pad layout) - defines safe continuous operation without heatsinking |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 425 °C/W - requires careful PCB copper area planning for thermal management |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions |
| Package | SOD123 - 2.65 mm × 1.55 mm footprint compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
DDZ11C-7 uses the SOD123 surface-mount package: cathode indicated by a band on the body; anode and cathode are the only two terminals. The device is unidirectional and polarity-sensitive in circuit placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Breakdown terminal | Connected to higher potential node; reverse-biased to establish regulated voltage drop |
| Anode | Reference return | Typically tied to system ground or low-side bias point; completes zener conduction path |
Key Features

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-C11LT1G | 10.4–11.6 V range (±5%), 20 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package | Higher zener impedance and looser tolerance; smaller footprint but lower power rating (300 mW) | Select when board space is constrained and ±5% VZ is acceptable; avoid in high-precision feedback loops |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | 10.5–11.5 V range (±5%), 15 Ω ZZT, SOD-123 package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Same package but lacks automotive qualification and has wider VZ spread | Use in commercial-grade instrumentation where cost is prioritized over automotive reliability and tight tolerance |
Compared with BZX84-C11LT1G and MMSZ5240B-TP, DDZ11C-7 offers superior voltage accuracy (±2.5% vs. ±5%), lower dynamic impedance (10 Ω vs. ≥15 Ω), and guaranteed AEC-Q101 qualification - making it the preferred choice for safety-critical or high-accuracy 11 V reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of DDZ11C-7 at 75°C ambient?
DDZ11C-7 delivers 500 mW maximum power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) = +75°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value applies when the device is mounted with optimized thermal conduction - such as on a large copper plane - and reflects its capability under controlled thermal boundary conditions, not ambient-only derating.
Does DDZ11C-7 have automotive qualification?
Yes - the DDZ11C-7 is part of the automotive-grade DDZQ series (e.g., DDZ11CQ-7). While the "-7" suffix denotes commercial tape-and-reel packaging, the underlying die and process are AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP-capable, and manufactured in IATF16949-certified facilities, enabling drop-in use in automotive designs with proper documentation.
How does the temperature coefficient affect DDZ11C-7's stability?
DDZ11C-7 exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +0.06 %/°C near 11 V, meaning its zener voltage increases ~6.6 mV per °C rise. This predictable positive drift allows designers to compensate for thermal effects in reference chains or select complementary components to achieve net-zero TC in multi-diode configurations.
Can DDZ11C-7 replace older Zener diodes like 1N4740A?
No - DDZ11C-7 is not a direct replacement for through-hole 1N4740A (10 V, ±5%, DO-41). It differs in voltage range (10.82–11.38 V), tolerance (±2.5%), package (SOD123 vs. DO-41), and thermal performance. Substitution requires validation of PCB layout, thermal margin, and circuit gain/offset adjustments due to tighter VZ and lower ZZT.
