Product details
Overview
DDZ16ASF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 0.5W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 14.8–15.57V at 10mA test current, ±5% tolerance, 40Ω maximum zener impedance at 1kHz, and 0.07µA maximum reverse leakage at 14.1V. It operates across –65°C to +150°C and is used for voltage regulation and reference in power supply feedback loops, analog sensor biasing, and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ16ASF-7 datasheet, DDZ16ASF-7 pinout, DDZ16ASF-7 application, or DDZ16ASF-7 equivalent, this part serves as a stable, low-leakage, automotive-capable voltage reference in space-constrained PCB designs requiring tight VZ tolerance and high thermal reliability on FR-4 substrates.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs silicon planar epitaxial construction optimized for stable breakdown characteristics under pulsed and DC conditions. Its 10mA zener test current and low 0.07µA IR at VR = 14.1V enable accurate voltage referencing in low-power analog stages without significant error from leakage-induced loading.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient near zero crossing around 15V (per Fig. 3), minimizing drift in mid-range reference applications. Its SOD323F package delivers 250°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when mounted on a 10mm × 10mm pad, supporting reliable 500mW dissipation in compact layouts.

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 | 15V nominal, ±5%, 300mW rating, SOT-23 package, 50Ω ZZT | Lower power handling and higher impedance reduce stability in high-current reference paths | Select when board space allows SOT-23 and thermal budget permits <300mW dissipation |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 15V nominal, ±5%, 500mW, SOD-123 package, 30Ω ZZT, 0.1µA IR | Larger SOD-123 footprint and higher leakage limit use in ultra-low-power sensor nodes | Prefer where lower impedance is critical and PCB real estate accommodates wider 2.7mm body |
Compared with BZX84-C15LT1G and MMSZ5245B-TP, DDZ16ASF-7 offers superior thermal performance (250°C/W vs. ~350°C/W) in its SOD323F package and tighter leakage spec (0.07µA), making it optimal for high-reliability, space-constrained 15V reference designs demanding long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DDZ16ASF-7 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
DDZ16ASF-7 is rated for 500mW continuous power dissipation when mounted on an FR-4 PCB with a 10mm × 10mm copper pad and board dimensions of 35mm × 25mm. This rating assumes still-air conditions and is derated linearly above +25°C ambient per the published power derating curve (Fig. 1), reaching zero at +150°C.
How does the zener voltage tolerance affect circuit accuracy in a feedback loop?
With a guaranteed VZ range of 14.8–15.57V (±5%), DDZ16ASF-7 introduces ≤0.77V absolute error in open-loop reference applications. In closed-loop SMPS feedback, this translates to <±1.5% output voltage variation before compensation-acceptable for most industrial and consumer power supplies without additional trimming.
Is DDZ16ASF-7 suitable for automotive applications?
DDZ16ASF-7 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., DDZ16ASF-13) manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities with PPAP support. For non-safety-critical automotive subsystems, the standard part may be used pending internal qualification; consult Diodes' automotive product definitions page for change control details.
What is the significance of the "SF" suffix in DDZ16ASF-7?
The "SF" suffix denotes the SOD323F package variant with green molding compound and matte tin annealed terminals. The "-7" indicates tape-and-reel packaging with 3,000 units per reel. This distinguishes it from other package options (e.g., "-13" for 10,000-unit reels) and ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment.
