Product details
Overview
DDZ15BSF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 0.5W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 14.25 V (min 13.89 V, max 14.62 V) at 10 mA test current, 40 Ω maximum zener impedance, and ±0.07 µA reverse leakage at 13.2 V. It delivers tight voltage tolerance for voltage regulation and reference applications in power supply feedback loops and analog sensing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ15BSF-7 datasheet, DDZ15BSF-7 pinout, DDZ15BSF-7 application, or DDZ15BSF-7 equivalent, this device is selected for stable low-power voltage reference design where thermal stability (TC ≈ +3.5 mV/°C), SOD323F footprint compatibility, and AEC-Q200-readiness are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable reference voltage across its cathode–anode terminals under controlled current conditions. Its 10 mA zener test current and 40 Ω dynamic impedance ensure predictable regulation behavior in low-current bias networks.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (~+3.5 mV/°C near 15 V), enabling predictable drift compensation in multi-device references. Its SOD323F package supports automated placement and provides 250°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-4 PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13.89 V to 14.62 V @ IZT = 10 mA - defines regulation window for feedback or reference use |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤ 40 Ω @ 1 kHz - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤ 0.07 µA @ VR = 13.2 V - guarantees negligible error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR-4 - supports continuous operation up to ~35 mA at 14.25 V without derating |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 250 °C/W - enables thermal design with ≤ 12.5°C rise at full rated power on standard layout |
| Package | SOD323F - 1.25 mm × 1.70 mm surface-mount outline compatible with 0402-class pick-and-place |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323F - ultra-compact plastic-molded surface-mount package with matte tin–annealed copper alloy leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1, and UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to lower potential in Zener regulation | Provides return path for bias current; must be tied to ground or common reference in shunt regulator topology |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; higher-potential terminal in Zener operation | Connected to regulated node; voltage at this terminal is clamped to VZ when reverse-biased above breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C15LT1G | 15 V nominal (14.3–15.7 V), 30 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package, 350 mW rating | Larger footprint, higher thermal resistance (350°C/W), lower power handling | Select when board space permits larger package and lower power dissipation suffices |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 15 V nominal (14.25–15.75 V), 17 Ω ZZT, SOD-123 package, 500 mW rating | Wider VZ tolerance, lower impedance, but 1.8 mm × 1.4 mm body vs. SOD323F's 1.25 mm × 1.70 mm | Choose for tighter impedance-critical references where SOD-123 layout is acceptable |
Compared with BZX84-C15LT1G and MMSZ5245B-TP, DDZ15BSF-7 offers superior voltage tolerance control (±2.5% vs. ±5–6.7%) and optimized thermal performance in the smallest footprint, making it preferred for high-density automotive and medical PCBs requiring long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle without exceeding its 500 mW rating?
At its nominal zener voltage of 14.25 V, DDZ15BSF-7 supports up to 35.1 mA continuous reverse current (500 mW ÷ 14.25 V) before reaching thermal limits on a standard FR-4 PCB. Derating begins above 25°C ambient per the published power derating curve, reaching zero dissipation at 150°C.
Does this part meet AEC-Q200 stress testing requirements?
DDZ15BSF-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and qualified to AEC-Q200 for passive components. While not explicitly marked "AEC-Q200 qualified" in the datasheet, Diodes confirms this series is PPAP-capable and intended for automotive applications requiring change control and traceability.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40°C to +125°C?
With a typical TC of +3.5 mV/°C near 14.25 V, DDZ15BSF-7 exhibits ~0.31% VZ drift over a 90°C span (−40°C to +125°C). This translates to ±45 mV absolute shift, which is accounted for in system-level calibration routines used in automotive and medical designs.
Can this Zener be used in series or parallel configurations for higher voltage or current capability?
Series connection is viable for higher reference voltages (e.g., two DDZ15BSF-7 yield ~28.5 V), but requires matched units to avoid imbalance. Parallel use is not recommended due to negative resistance characteristics and thermal runaway risk-external current balancing resistors would be mandatory.
