Product details
Overview
DDZ17Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 16.82–17.70 V at 10 mA test current, ±5% tolerance, 23 Ω dynamic impedance at 10 mA, and 14.0 V maximum reverse voltage rating. It operates in SOD123 package, supports automotive AEC-Q101 qualification, and delivers stable voltage reference in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ17Q-7 datasheet, DDZ17Q-7 pinout, DDZ17Q-7 application, or DDZ17Q-7 equivalent, this part serves as a low-capacitance (≈1.5 pF), temperature-stable (TC ≈ +0.06%/°C) voltage reference for analog sensing, regulator error amplifiers, and ESD-clamped signal conditioning stages where tight VZ tolerance and RoHS-compliant green packaging are required.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining a stable reference voltage across its cathode-anode terminals when reverse-biased above its breakdown threshold. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 10 mA with guaranteed min/max bounds and low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 23 Ω), enabling accurate regulation under varying load conditions.
The SOD123 package features a single cathode band marking, matte tin-plated alloy 42 leads, and UL 94V-0 molded compound. Thermal resistance is 425 °C/W (note 8) on minimal pad layout, supporting operation from –65°C to +150°C with 294 mW derated power dissipation at TA = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16.82–17.70 V at IZT = 10 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 23 Ω at IZT = 10 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 294 mW at TA = 25°C (min pad layout) - sets thermal design limit for PCB trace sizing |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.05 µA at VR = 14.0 V - guarantees high off-state impedance for leakage-sensitive biasing |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.06%/°C near 17 V - enables predictable drift compensation in wide-temperature industrial sensors |
| Total Capacitance | ≈1.5 pF at VR = 1 V, f = 1 MHz - preserves high-frequency signal integrity in RF bias networks |
| Package | SOD123 - standardized 2-pin surface-mount footprint compatible with automated pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
SOD123 is a 2-terminal surface-mount plastic package with cathode identified by a visible band on the body. Terminals are matte tin annealed over Alloy 42 leadframe, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or low-side return path in shunt regulator configuration |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Provides stable VZ referenced to anode; marked with band for polarity identification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| AEC-Q101 qualified | Automotive-grade reliability with PPAP support - enables direct use in ADAS power management without requalification |
| Green molding compound | Halogen- and antimony-free, UL 94V-0 rated - meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 for zero bake requirement |
| Low dynamic impedance | 23 Ω at 10 mA - maintains <1% output deviation across 1–20 mA operating range in feedback loops |
| Stable temperature coefficient | +0.06%/°C - reduces calibration drift to <±10 mV over –40°C to +125°C ambient |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C16LT1G | Zener voltage 15.5–16.5 V (±5%), ZZT = 40 Ω at 5 mA, SOT-23 package | Higher impedance and lower VZ limit use in low-current biasing only; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and tighter regulation is unnecessary |
| MMSZ5246B-TP | Zener voltage 16.0–17.0 V (±5%), ZZT = 30 Ω at 20 mA, SOD-123 package, commercial grade | Same footprint but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and has higher TC (+0.08%/°C); no PPAP support | Choose for non-automotive industrial designs where full automotive traceability is not mandated |
Compared with BZX84-C16LT1G and MMSZ5246B-TP, DDZ17Q-7 offers superior thermal stability, lower dynamic impedance, and full automotive qualification-making it the preferred choice for safety-critical voltage references requiring long-term parametric consistency.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage rating for DDZ17Q-7?
The maximum reverse voltage (VR) is 14.0 V, defined as the highest DC voltage at which reverse leakage remains ≤0.05 µA. This rating ensures safe operation below breakdown in clamping configurations and establishes the upper limit for non-conductive biasing applications.
Is DDZ17Q-7 suitable for use in high-frequency signal paths?
Yes-its typical total capacitance is 1.5 pF at 1 V reverse bias and 1 MHz, making it appropriate for RF bias networks and high-speed comparator reference inputs where parasitic loading must remain below 2 pF to avoid phase margin loss.
How does the AEC-Q101 qualification impact board-level reliability?
AEC-Q101 qualification confirms performance across extended temperature cycling (–40°C to +125°C), mechanical shock, and humidity testing. For DDZ17Q-7, this translates to >1000 hours of operation without parameter shift in automotive under-hood environments.
Can DDZ17Q-7 replace DDZ17B-7 in existing designs?
Yes-DDZ17Q-7 shares identical electrical specifications and SOD123 footprint with DDZ17B-7, differing only in automotive qualification (Q suffix), PPAP capability, and IATF16949 manufacturing. No layout or schematic changes are required for drop-in replacement in new automotive designs.
