Product details
Overview
DDZ30DQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision Zener diode in SOD123 package, designed for voltage regulation and reference applications with tight 5% tolerance (29.02 V to 30.51 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA), low dynamic impedance (55 Ω at 5 mA), and low reverse leakage (0.05 µA at 23.0 V). It operates across –65°C to +150°C and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive power supply monitoring and ECU reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ30DQ-7 datasheet, DDZ30DQ-7 pinout, DDZ30DQ-7 application, or DDZ30DQ-7 equivalent, this part serves as a stable, low-capacitance (≈1.5 pF) voltage reference in space-constrained, high-reliability designs requiring precise clamping or biasing under varying thermal conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs silicon planar construction with controlled avalanche breakdown for stable reverse-biased operation. Its 30 V nominal Zener voltage falls within the optimal range for low-temperature-coefficient performance (±0.08%/°C typical), minimizing drift over industrial and automotive temperature ranges.
The device delivers 470 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient on standard FR-4 PCB layout and exhibits 425°C/W thermal resistance when mounted with minimum recommended pad area-enabling predictable thermal derating up to 125°C ambient without forced cooling.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C30LT1G | 30 V ±5%, 90 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA, SOT-23 package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Higher impedance limits regulation accuracy in precision feedback; smaller SOT-23 footprint reduces thermal mass | Select for cost-sensitive consumer designs where automotive qualification and low ZZT are not required |
| MMSZ5257ET1G | 30 V ±5%, 35 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA, SOD-123, no AEC-Q101, 500 mW PD | Lower ZZT improves regulation but requires higher test current; lacks automotive traceability and PPAP support | Prefer for non-automotive industrial applications needing tighter dynamic regulation at higher bias currents |
Compared with BZX84-C30LT1G and MMSZ5257ET1G, DDZ30DQ-7 offers superior thermal stability, automotive-grade process control, and lower impedance at its specified 5 mA test current-making it the only option qualified for safety-critical vehicle subsystems requiring documented change control and IATF16949 traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum Zener test current for DDZ30DQ-7?
The datasheet specifies a Zener test current (IZT) of 5 mA for parameter characterization. At this current, the device achieves its rated Zener voltage range (29.02 V to 30.51 V) and dynamic impedance (55 Ω). Operation beyond 5 mA is permissible up to the 470 mW power limit, but voltage regulation accuracy degrades due to self-heating and impedance rise.
Is DDZ30DQ-7 suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No-DDZ30DQ-7 is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias voltage regulation. It lacks symmetric breakdown characteristics and has no specified forward surge rating. For bidirectional ESD protection, purpose-built TVS diodes such as the D28V0L4B2P or SMAJ30A should be used instead.
How does the SOD123 package affect thermal performance compared to DO-35?
The SOD123 package provides 425°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance with minimum pad layout-significantly higher than DO-35's ~200°C/W-but enables automated assembly and saves >60% board area. Its lower thermal mass also improves transient thermal response, making it preferable for pulsed regulation despite reduced steady-state power handling.
Does DDZ30DQ-7 require external series resistance in typical applications?
Yes-a current-limiting resistor is mandatory to prevent thermal runaway. For example, with a 36 V supply and 5 mA target Zener current, a 1.2 kΩ resistor sets safe operating point. The resistor value must be calculated using (VIN − VZ) / IZ, accounting for worst-case VZ tolerance and supply variation to ensure IZ stays within 0.5 mA to 10 mA recommended range.
