Product details
Overview
DDZ23Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 22.61–23.77 V at 5 mA test current, ±5% tolerance, 35 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, and 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 19.0 V. It operates in SOD123 package and serves as voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply feedback loops and analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ23Q-7 datasheet, DDZ23Q-7 pinout, DDZ23Q-7 application, or DDZ23Q-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tightness (±2.5% typical), low thermal resistance (425 °C/W on minimal pad), AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable voltage regulation under reverse bias. Its breakdown mechanism combines avalanche and Zener effects, with temperature coefficient near +0.08 %/°C in the 22–24 V range - enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs.
The SOD123 package supports high-density PCB layouts and features matte tin-annealed terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. Moisture sensitivity level is Level 1 (J-STD-020), eliminating bake requirements prior to reflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.61–23.77 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 35 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA at VR = 19.0 V - enables low-power standby operation without significant quiescent loss |
| Power Dissipation | 294 mW at TA = 25°C on minimal pad - sets practical continuous current limit (~13 mA at 23 V) |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 425 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise under ambient-limited conditions |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.08 %/°C (typ.) - allows predictable voltage drift modeling across –65 to +150°C operating range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C24 | 24.0 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 85 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA, SOT-23 package | Higher impedance limits regulation accuracy in precision feedback; smaller SOT-23 thermal mass reduces power handling | Select when board space is constrained and ±5% VZ tolerance suffices without low-Z requirement |
| MMSZ5248B | 22.0 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 35 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA, SOD-123 package, non-automotive grade | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter IR spec (0.1 µA vs. 0.05 µA); same footprint but no automotive change control | Acceptable for industrial/commercial designs where automotive reliability and traceability are not mandated |
Compared with BZX84-C24 and MMSZ5248B, DDZ23Q-7 delivers superior regulation stability (lower ZZT at lower test current), guaranteed automotive qualification, and tighter leakage - making it optimal for safety-critical or thermally demanding reference nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for reliable operation of DDZ23Q-7?
At 25°C ambient and using the minimal recommended pad layout, DDZ23Q-7 supports up to 12.6 mA continuous reverse current before exceeding its 294 mW power limit (23.77 V × 12.6 mA ≈ 294 mW). Derating is required above 25°C per the 425 °C/W RθJA.
Does DDZ23Q-7 require external series resistance in standard voltage reference configurations?
Yes - a current-limiting resistor is mandatory to set IZ within 5–20 mA for optimal regulation. For example, with a 28 V supply and target IZ = 10 mA, a 470 Ω resistor provides ~10.6 mA while maintaining VZ stability and staying within power limits.
How does the AEC-Q101 qualification impact the manufacturing process for DDZ23Q-7?
DDZ23Q-7 is produced in IATF 16949-certified facilities with PPAP documentation, lot-level traceability, and extended reliability testing (including HTOL, TC, and HAST), ensuring consistent performance across automotive temperature ranges (–40 to +125°C junction) and lifetime requirements.
Can DDZ23Q-7 be used in place of a 24 V Zener like DDZ24C-7 in existing designs?
No - DDZ23Q-7's 22.61–23.77 V range is 0.23–1.39 V lower than DDZ24C-7's 23.12–24.31 V range. Substitution requires verification of system margin, especially in overvoltage clamp roles where 0.5 V headroom may affect protection threshold integrity.
