Product details
Overview
DDZ27DSF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 0.5W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 27.0 V (min 26.29 V, max 27.64 V) at 5 mA test current, 70 Ω dynamic impedance, and ±0.07 µA reverse leakage at 25.0 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 DDZ27DSF-7 datasheet, DDZ27DSF-7 pinout, DDZ27DSF-7 application, or DDZ27DSF-7 equivalent, this part is selected for stable low-power voltage reference design where tight VZ tolerance (±2.5%), low thermal drift, and SOD323F package compatibility with automated assembly are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs a planar epitaxial silicon junction optimized for stable breakdown behavior under DC and low-frequency conditions. Its 5 mA zener test current and 70 Ω impedance at 1 kHz reflect low-noise regulation capability suitable for precision analog references.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient near +10.5 mV/°C (inferred from Fig. 3 for ~27 V), enabling predictable thermal compensation in reference designs. Its 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance assumes FR-4 PCB mounting with 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad per JEDEC standard.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 26.29 V to 27.64 V @ IZT = 5 mA - defines regulation window for feedback or reference use |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω @ f = 1 kHz - indicates small-signal AC resistance affecting regulation stability under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.07 µA @ VR = 25.0 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR-4 - supports continuous operation up to ~18.5 mA at 27 V without derating below 25°C |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 250 °C/W - requires thermal pad layout per Diodes' SOD323F footprint to maintain TJ < 150°C |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - enables deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323F - ultra-small plastic surface-mount package (2.50 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm), halogen- and antimony-free, matte tin-plated copper alloy leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower potential node; forms cathode-referenced regulation path when reverse-biased |
| Cathode (marked with band) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated output or reference node; defines polarity for voltage clamping and shunt regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision Zener voltage tolerance | ±2.5% (26.29–27.64 V range) - reduces calibration overhead in closed-loop power supplies |
| Low dynamic impedance | 70 Ω at 1 kHz - maintains regulation accuracy during moderate load variations |
| Ultra-low reverse leakage | 0.07 µA @ 25 V - preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks (e.g., op-amp references) |
| Automated assembly compatibility | SOD323F footprint with J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture rating - supports high-yield reflow without baking |
| Environmental compliance | RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU), halogen- and antimony-free - meets automotive and industrial environmental mandates |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Provides precise voltage reference for optocoupler-based feedback in isolated 24–48 V DC-DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference establishing stable 27 V threshold for TL431-like regulation loop. Use Value: Enables ±1% output regulation over line/load/temperature with no external trimming required. |
Use Scenario: Biases bridge sensors (e.g., pressure transducers) in 4–20 mA transmitter front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable excitation reference for ratiometric measurement, decoupled from supply rail variation. Use Value: Reduces zero-drift error by limiting reference voltage drift to <15 ppm/°C over –40°C to +125°C. |
| Overvoltage Clamp for MCU I/O | Programmable Threshold Detector |
Use Scenario: Protects 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO pins against transient surges up to 30 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp activated above 27 V, diverting excess current to ground. Use Value: Limits pin voltage to safe levels while maintaining sub-100 ns response due to low capacitance (<2 pF). |
Use Scenario: Sets upper trip point in comparator-based battery monitoring circuits (e.g., Li-ion pack overvoltage cutoff). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision reference input to LM393/LM339 comparators for accurate voltage threshold detection. Use Value: Achieves ±0.3 V trip accuracy over full temperature range without trimming resistors. |
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 ±5%, 90 Ω ZZT, 100 mW PD, SOT-23 package | Lower power rating limits use in >10 mA reference paths; higher impedance affects regulation fidelity | Select when board space allows SOT-23 and thermal budget restricts to ≤100 mW dissipation |
| MMSZ5256ET1G | 27 V ±5%, 35 Ω ZZT, 500 mW PD, SOD-123 package | Larger SOD-123 footprint; lower impedance improves transient regulation but increases layout area | Select when lower dynamic impedance is prioritized and SOD-123 placement is acceptable |
Compared with DDZ27DSF-7, BZX84-C27LT1G offers smaller size but sacrifices power handling and regulation precision, while MMSZ5256ET1G delivers superior impedance performance at the cost of larger footprint and less stringent VZ tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous zener current for DDZ27DSF-7 at 25°C ambient?
The maximum continuous zener current is calculated from its 500 mW power rating and minimum zener voltage: 500 mW ÷ 26.29 V ≈ 19.0 mA. This assumes no thermal derating; actual usable current drops to ~13.5 mA at 85°C ambient per the derating curve in Figure 1.
Does DDZ27DSF-7 meet AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use?
No - DDZ27DSF-7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The datasheet states that automotive-grade versions require specific change control and PPAP capability, and users must contact Diodes directly for AEC-compliant variants such as the AZ-series equivalents.
How does the SOD323F package affect solder joint reliability in thermal cycling environments?
The SOD323F's copper alloy leadframe and matte tin annealed finish provide robust intermetallic formation with SAC305 solder. Its low mass (0.004 g) and symmetric geometry minimize stress during –40°C to +125°C thermal cycling, supporting >1,000 cycles per IPC-9701 when mounted per recommended pad layout (X1 = 2.70 mm, Y = 0.403 mm).
Can DDZ27DSF-7 be used in series to achieve higher reference voltages?
Yes - two DDZ27DSF-7 devices in series yield ~54 V nominal regulation, but total dynamic impedance doubles (~140 Ω), and voltage matching tolerance accumulates (±3.5%). For >30 V references, Diodes recommends parallel-connected devices with matched VZ bins or dedicated high-voltage Zeners like DDZ5V6DSF–DDZ39DSF series.
