Product details
Overview
DDZ3V0ASF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 3.0 V Zener diode in SOD323F package, designed for voltage regulation and reference applications with ±3.6% tolerance (2.85–3.07 V at 20 mA), 120 Ω dynamic impedance, and 50 µA reverse leakage at 1 V. It delivers stable 3.0 V reference in low-power analog circuits, sensor biasing, and overvoltage protection on FR-4 PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ3V0ASF-7 datasheet, DDZ3V0ASF-7 pinout, DDZ3V0ASF-7 application, or DDZ3V0ASF-7 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, SOD323F terminal mapping, automotive-grade packaging compliance, and direct alternatives for 3.0 V Zener reference design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a precise DC reference voltage under controlled current conditions. Its 20 mA test current ensures stable VZ measurement with minimal self-heating, and its 120 Ω Zener impedance reflects low AC voltage variation across load changes.
The device uses a planar silicon junction optimized for tight VZ distribution and low temperature coefficient (≈−2 mV/°C near 3.0 V, per Fig. 3). It is rated for −65°C to +150°C operation and exhibits 500 mW power dissipation on standard FR-4 board layout with defined pad dimensions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.85–3.07 V at IZT = 20 mA - defines usable reference window for precision analog circuits |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 120 Ω at f = 1 kHz - limits AC ripple coupling into reference node |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 50 µA at VR = 1 V - determines minimum bias current needed to avoid forward conduction in series-reference topologies |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR-4 (10 mm × 10 mm pad) - sets maximum continuous current (IZ ≤ 166 mA at 3.0 V) |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 250 °C/W - requires ambient derating above 75°C per Fig. 1 (e.g., 375 mW at +100°C) |
| Package | SOD323F - 2-pin surface-mount outline with cathode band marking and 0.004 g mass |
| RoHS & Green Compliance | Fully lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free per Diodes' "Green" definition (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323F - ultra-small plastic molded case (2.50 mm × 1.70 mm × 1.25 mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin-plated copper alloy leadframe, cathode indicated by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system GND or lowest potential point in shunt regulator configuration |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Provides stabilized 3.0 V when reverse-biased; connects to load and current-limiting resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3.0 V Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V0 (ON Semiconductor) | VZ = 2.8–3.2 V (±6.7%), ZZT = 90 Ω, PD = 350 mW, SOT-23 package | Higher tolerance and lower power rating limit use in high-stability or high-current reference roles | Select when SOT-23 footprint is required and ±6.7% VZ is acceptable |
| MMSZ4677 (Diodes Inc.) | VZ = 2.85–3.15 V (±5.0%), ZZT = 150 Ω, PD = 500 mW, SOD-123 package | Larger SOD-123 footprint and higher ZZT reduce board density and increase reference noise | Choose only if SOD-123 is already standardized in legacy designs and tighter impedance is not critical |
Compared with BZX84-C3V0 and MMSZ4677, DDZ3V0ASF-7 offers the narrowest VZ tolerance (±3.6%) and smallest footprint (SOD323F) among 3.0 V Zeners with 500 mW rating, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-accuracy analog references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for DDZ3V0ASF-7 at 25°C?
The maximum continuous Zener current is calculated from its 500 mW power rating and nominal 3.0 V Zener voltage: IZ(max) = 500 mW ÷ 3.0 V ≈ 167 mA. However, thermal derating applies above 75°C ambient (per Fig. 1), reducing allowable current to 125 mA at 100°C and 83 mA at 125°C.
Does DDZ3V0ASF-7 meet AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use?
DDZ3V0ASF-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation, but it is not explicitly listed as AEC-Q101 qualified in DS31987 Rev. 23–2. For automotive applications requiring formal AEC-Q101 certification, contact Diodes Incorporated directly to confirm qualification status and change control process.
How does the SOD323F package affect thermal performance compared to SOD-123?
SOD323F has higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 250 °C/W) than SOD-123 (typically ~200 °C/W) due to smaller pad area and reduced copper exposure. This results in ~12.5°C higher junction temperature at identical power dissipation, requiring stricter ambient temperature limits or reduced operating current in thermally constrained layouts.
Can DDZ3V0ASF-7 be used in series with another Zener to achieve higher reference voltage?
Yes - stacking multiple DDZ3V0ASF-7 devices in series yields additive Zener voltages (e.g., two in series ≈ 6.0 V), but total tolerance accumulates (±5.1% for two units), and dynamic impedance sums linearly (240 Ω). Ensure current-limiting resistor accounts for combined VZ and verify thermal margin for total power dissipation.
