Product details
Overview
DDZ27DQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 27.0 V (min 26.29 V, max 27.64 V), 5 mA test current, 45 Ω zener impedance at 5 mA, and 21.0 V maximum reverse voltage rating. It operates within -65°C to +150°C, features tight ±2.5% VZ tolerance, and is used for voltage regulation and reference in power supply feedback loops and analog sensing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ27DQ-7 datasheet, DDZ27DQ-7 pinout, DDZ27DQ-7 application, or DDZ27DQ-7 equivalent, this part serves as a stable, low-capacitance (≈1.8 pF) automotive-grade voltage reference requiring minimal board space in SOD123 package with cathode band polarity marking.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs silicon planar epitaxial construction optimized for stable breakdown characteristics under low-current conditions (IZT = 5 mA). Its temperature coefficient is +0.075%/°C (typical), enabling predictable drift compensation in mid-voltage reference designs.
The device is rated for 294 mW power dissipation on minimal pad layout (Note 8) and 470 mW on 1-in² copper area (Note 7), with thermal resistance of 425°C/W and 266°C/W respectively - confirming its suitability for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 26.29–27.64 V @ IZT = 5 mA - defines precise regulation window for 27 V rail stabilization |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 45 Ω @ 5 mA - ensures low dynamic resistance for stable reference under load transients |
| Maximum Reverse Voltage (VR) | 21.0 V - sets safe non-conduction threshold below zener knee for input protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 294 mW (minimal pad) - limits thermal rise in compact layouts without heatsinking |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +150°C - supports under-hood and industrial ambient operation |
| Capacitance (CT) | ≈1.8 pF @ VR = 1 V - enables high-frequency noise filtering without signal loading |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.05 µA @ VR = 21.0 V - guarantees ultra-low leakage in battery-backed reference nodes |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123 - surface-mount plastic case (1.55 mm × 2.65 mm × 1.05 mm), cathode marked by band, matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.

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 (25.65–28.35 V), 80 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package | Higher VZ spread and impedance reduce accuracy in closed-loop regulation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision; requires larger layout area and lacks AEC-Q101 certification |
| MMSZ5258ET1G | 27 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 35 Ω ZZT, SOD-123 package, commercial grade only | No automotive qualification; 0.1 µA IR at 21 V - 2× higher leakage than DDZ27DQ-7 | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial use where leakage <0.1 µA is acceptable and PPAP not required |
Compared with BZX84-C27LT1G and MMSZ5258ET1G, DDZ27DQ-7 delivers tighter tolerance, lower leakage, and automotive qualification - making it the sole choice for safety-critical or production automotive voltage references where long-term stability and traceability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DDZ27DQ-7 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
DDZ27DQ-7 dissipates up to 294 mW when mounted on an FR-4 board with minimum recommended pad layout (per Note 8), and 470 mW with 1-in² copper area (per Note 7). Derating begins above +25°C ambient per Figure 1 - at +75°C, maximum power drops to 500 mW only if lead temperature (TL) is controlled to that level via thermal vias or heatsinking.
Is DDZ27DQ-7 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - DDZ27DQ-7 uses matte tin annealed terminals over Alloy 42 leadframe and is fully RoHS 3 compliant (≤1000 ppm antimony, ≤900 ppm Br/Cl). It withstands JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, matching standard lead-free SAC305 profiles.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over -40°C to +125°C?
DDZ27DQ-7 exhibits +0.075%/°C typical TC (Figure 18), resulting in ≈±1.25% VZ shift across -40°C to +125°C. At 27 V nominal, this equals ±338 mV total drift - acceptable for non-critical references but requires firmware compensation in high-accuracy ADC applications.
Can DDZ27DQ-7 replace DDZ27D-7 in existing designs?
Yes - DDZ27DQ-7 is the automotive-qualified variant of DDZ27D-7, sharing identical electrical specs, SOD123 package, and marking code "2M". The "Q" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF16949 manufacturing - no layout or schematic changes are needed for drop-in replacement in automotive designs.
