Product details
Overview
DDZ27CSF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 0.5W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 25.63–26.95 V at 5 mA test current, 70 Ω maximum zener impedance at 1 kHz, and ±0.07 µA reverse leakage at 24.3 V. 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 DDZ27CSF-7 datasheet, DDZ27CSF-7 pinout, DDZ27CSF-7 application, or DDZ27CSF-7 equivalent, this part is selected for stable low-power voltage reference design where tight VZ tolerance (±2.6%), low thermal resistance (250°C/W), and SOD323F package compatibility with automated assembly are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining a stable reverse-biased breakdown voltage across its cathode–anode terminals under controlled current conditions. Its 5 mA zener test current and 70 Ω dynamic impedance ensure predictable regulation behavior in low-current reference paths.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient near zero at ~27 V (per Fig. 3), minimizing drift over ambient temperature (–65°C to +150°C). Its SOD323F package delivers 250°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR-4 PCBs with standard 10 mm × 10 mm copper pads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 25.63–26.95 V @ IZT = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW - supports continuous operation at up to 18.5 mA at 27 V without derating below 25°C |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω max @ 1 kHz - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.07 µA @ VR = 24.3 V - enables high-impedance reference nodes with negligible error current |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 250°C/W - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in space-constrained designs |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C27LT1G | 27 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 80 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package | Higher VZ tolerance and impedance reduce regulation accuracy in precision feedback | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage stability requirements and SOT-23 board space is available |
| MMSZ5256ET1G | 27 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 35 Ω ZZT, SOD-123 package | Lower impedance improves transient response but wider tolerance increases calibration burden | Prefer for lower-noise references where tighter ZZT matters more than VZ spread |
Compared with DDZ27CSF-7, BZX84-C27LT1G trades precision for cost and MMSZ5256ET1G trades tolerance control for lower dynamic impedance-making DDZ27CSF-7 optimal for applications demanding both tight VZ and known thermal performance in compact SOD323F layout.

FAQ
What is the recommended minimum and maximum zener test current for stable regulation?
The DDZ27CSF-7 is characterized at IZT = 5 mA, with stable regulation maintained between 1 mA and 18.5 mA. Below 1 mA, dynamic impedance rises sharply; above 18.5 mA, thermal derating begins per the power curve in Figure 1. For best stability, operate within 2–10 mA.
How does the SOD323F package affect thermal performance compared to SOD-123?
The SOD323F package has higher thermal resistance (250°C/W vs. ~300°C/W for SOD-123 in same layout), due to smaller pad area and optimized leadframe geometry. Its 2.5 mm × 1.7 mm footprint enables denser layouts while maintaining adequate dissipation for ≤500 mW operation on standard FR-4.
Is DDZ27CSF-7 qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q101?
Yes - Diodes Incorporated qualifies the DDZ27CSF-7 to AEC-Q101 for discrete semiconductors. It is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. Full qualification data is available upon request through authorized Diodes representatives.
Can DDZ27CSF-7 be used in series or parallel configurations for higher voltage or current handling?
Series connection is acceptable for higher voltage references if matched units are used to minimize current imbalance. Parallel use is not recommended due to VZ mismatch causing current hogging; for higher current, select a single higher-power Zener or use active regulation instead.
