Product details
Overview
DDZ15CSF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 0.5W surface-mount Zener diode in SOD323F package, delivering tightly regulated 14.35–15.09V breakdown voltage at 10mA test current, with 40Ω max zener impedance and <0.07µA reverse leakage at 13.6V, used for voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ15CSF-7 datasheet, DDZ15CSF-7 pinout, DDZ15CSF-7 application, or DDZ15CSF-7 equivalent, this part supports stable low-power voltage regulation in space-constrained industrial and automotive subsystems where thermal resistance (250°C/W) and AEC-Q200-aligned manufacturing are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its 10mA zener test current and 40Ω dynamic impedance ensure predictable regulation under varying load conditions.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +5.5 mV/°C near 15V (per Fig. 3), enabling predictable drift compensation in analog circuits. It is rated for continuous operation from –65°C to +150°C with full derating above 75°C per the published power derating curve.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14.35–15.09 V at IZT = 10 mA - defines precise regulation window for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum steady-state power handling in standard layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤40 Ω at f = 1 kHz - ensures minimal output voltage variation under dynamic load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.07 µA at VR = 13.6 V - guarantees negligible error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 250 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise under given ambient and power conditions |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323F - ultra-compact surface-mount plastic package (2.50 mm × 1.70 mm × 1.25 mm), molded with halogen-free green compound, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or low-side reference point in shunt regulator topology |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage reference output | Connected to regulated node; voltage develops across cathode-to-anode when reverse biased |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Feedback | Automotive Body Control Module Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating 15V rail in isolated DC-DC converter secondary side. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference for TL431-like feedback loop. Use Value: Tight 14.35–15.09V tolerance minimizes output voltage deviation across temperature and line variations. |
Use Scenario: Providing stable reference for LIN bus transceiver biasing in door module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage clamp for analog sensor interface IC supply rails. Use Value: Sub-0.07µA leakage prevents loading of high-impedance bias networks at cold start (–40°C). |

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 | 14.3–15.7V range, 300mW rating, SOT-23 package, 50Ω ZZT | Higher power dissipation required due to lower PD; larger footprint limits board density | Select when legacy SOT-23 layout exists and 300mW suffices |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 14.25–15.75V range, 500mW, SOD-123 package, 30Ω ZZT, higher leakage (≤5µA @ 12.2V) | Lower impedance improves regulation but higher IR degrades high-Z reference accuracy | Prefer for low-impedance loads where leakage is not critical |
Compared with DDZ15CSF-7, BZX84-C15LT1G offers broader voltage tolerance but reduced power margin, while MMSZ5245B-TP delivers lower impedance at the cost of significantly higher reverse leakage-making DDZ15CSF-7 optimal for precision, low-leakage, thermally constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage that DDZ15CSF-7 can safely clamp?
The device is rated for continuous operation up to its nominal zener voltage range (14.35–15.09V) at 10mA. For clamping transients, it withstands peak reverse voltages up to 15.09V without breakdown deviation; sustained operation above this requires current limiting to stay within 500mW power limit and thermal derating curves.
Does DDZ15CSF-7 meet AEC-Q200 requirements for passive components?
While not individually qualified to AEC-Q200, DDZ15CSF-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities and designed for automotive applications requiring change control; Diodes states that parts qualified to AEC-Q200 are available upon request and PPAP capable-confirm specific qualification status with Diodes' automotive team before design-in.
How does the SOD323F package affect thermal performance compared to SOD-123?
SOD323F has higher thermal resistance (250°C/W vs. ~200°C/W for SOD-123) due to smaller pad area and thinner mold compound, resulting in ~25% greater junction temperature rise at 500mW; this necessitates careful PCB copper area design and ambient temperature derating above 75°C per Figure 1.
Can DDZ15CSF-7 replace DDZ15BSF in an existing design?
Yes-both share identical SOD323F package, 10mA test current, and 40Ω max zener impedance, but DDZ15CSF-7 offers a higher nominal zener voltage (14.35–15.09V vs. 13.89–14.62V for BSF), so verify system tolerance margins; forward voltage and thermal specs are identical, ensuring drop-in mechanical and thermal compatibility.
