Product details
Overview
DDZ31Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 31.0 V (min 30.32 V, max 31.88 V), 5 mA test current, 65 Ω zener impedance at IZT, 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 25.0 V, and ±5% voltage tolerance. It operates in SOD123 package, delivers stable voltage reference in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ31Q-7 datasheet, DDZ31Q-7 pinout, DDZ31Q-7 application, or DDZ31Q-7 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, temperature coefficient data, automotive qualification status (AEC-Q101), and real-world design context for voltage reference selection in space-constrained, high-reliability systems.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device, operating in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled VZ tolerance (±5%) and low dynamic impedance (65 Ω @ 5 mA). Its 0.05 µA reverse current at 25 V ensures minimal standby power loss in bias networks.
Designed for stable operation across –65°C to +150°C, it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (~0.09%/°C at 31 V) per Figure 19, enabling predictable drift compensation in analog sensing front-ends and regulated power supplies where thermal stability is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30.32 V to 31.88 V @ IZT = 5 mA - defines precise regulation window for feedback node referencing |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 65 Ω @ 5 mA - determines output voltage ripple rejection under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA @ VR = 25 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current in battery-backed monitoring circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 294 mW @ TA = 25°C (Note 8) - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard FR-4 PCB with minimal copper |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 425 °C/W - indicates sensitivity to ambient temperature rise; requires thermal pad layout per recommended footprint |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.09 %/°C (typ.) - quantifies VZ drift magnitude over industrial temperature range |
| Package | SOD123 - 2.65 mm × 1.55 mm surface-mount outline compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 nominal, ±5%, 90 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA, SOT-23 package | Higher impedance limits regulation accuracy in high-bandwidth feedback; smaller SOT-23 footprint reduces thermal mass | Select when board space is constrained and ±2% regulation suffices; avoid in high-transient-load scenarios |
| MMSZ5256B-TP | 30 V nominal, ±5%, 30 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA, SOD-123 package | Lower impedance but requires 20 mA test current - increases quiescent power by 4× vs. DDZ31Q-7's 5 mA | Prefer for low-noise analog references where power budget allows; not suitable for ultra-low-power sensor nodes |
Compared with BZX84-C30LT1G and MMSZ5256B-TP, DDZ31Q-7 uniquely balances low leakage (0.05 µA), moderate impedance (65 Ω), and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for automotive and industrial applications demanding reliability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance in one package.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DDZ31Q-7 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
DDZ31Q-7 dissipates up to 294 mW at 25°C ambient when mounted on a single-sided FR-4 board with minimum recommended pad layout (per Note 8). Derating begins linearly above 25°C at 0.706 mW/°C, reaching zero at 150°C ambient.
Is DDZ31Q-7 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - DDZ31Q-7 is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF16949-certified facilities. Its SOD123 package, –65°C to +150°C operating range, and green material composition meet automotive electronics requirements for under-hood and cabin modules.
How does the temperature coefficient affect voltage stability in a 31 V reference design?
At ~+0.09%/°C, DDZ31Q-7 exhibits a +28 mV/°C drift near room temperature. Over a 100°C span (–40°C to +60°C), this yields ~2.8 V total shift - acceptable for non-critical biasing but requires compensation in high-accuracy metering applications.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for optimal thermal performance?
Use the Diodes-recommended SOD123 footprint: X = 0.900 mm, X1 = 4.050 mm, Y = 0.950 mm. For thermal improvement, extend copper beyond pads using thermal spokes to inner ground planes - increasing effective RθJA margin by up to 30% versus minimum layout.
