Product details
Overview
DDZ5V6B-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 5.6 V (min 5.45 V, max 5.73 V), 20 mA test current, 11 Ω zener impedance at 1 kHz, and 0.5 µA reverse leakage at 2.5 V. It operates in SOD123 package and serves as a stable voltage reference in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and overvoltage protection clamping.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ5V6B-7 datasheet, DDZ5V6B-7 pinout, DDZ5V6B-7 application, or DDZ5V6B-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include tight VZ tolerance (±2.3%), low dynamic impedance, thermal stability across -65°C to +150°C, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses silicon planar construction with controlled doping to achieve precise breakdown characteristics. Its 5.6 V nominal voltage places it in the low-noise, low-temperature-coefficient region of the Zener curve (TC ≈ +0.02%/°C), minimizing drift in reference applications.
The device is rated for 470 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient on standard FR-4 board layout and exhibits 266°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under defined copper pad conditions - critical for thermal design in compact power management circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.45–5.73 V @ IZT = 20 mA - ensures ±2.3% regulation accuracy for precision references |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 11 Ω @ f = 1 kHz - maintains low output impedance under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA @ VR = 2.5 V - minimizes error current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 470 mW @ TA = +25°C - supports continuous operation in space-constrained PCB layouts |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 266 °C/W - defines temperature rise per watt on standard 1-in² copper pad |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +150°C - enables use in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Package | SOD123 - 2-pin surface-mount outline compatible with IPC-7351B footprint standards |

Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Reference | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in isolated flyback or buck-boost converters via optocoupler-coupled feedback loop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides stable 5.6 V reference for TL431-like comparator input or shunt regulator node. Use Value: Tight VZ tolerance and low ZZT ensure ±1% output regulation without trimming resistors. |
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins or ADC inputs from transient overvoltage events (e.g., ESD, inductive kick). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as bidirectional clamp: forward conducts at ~0.9 V, reverse breaks down at 5.6 V. Use Value: Low leakage (0.5 µA) avoids loading sensitive sensor nodes; fast response limits voltage overshoot to <6.0 V. |
| Temperature-Stable Voltage Reference | Low-Power Sensor Biasing |
|
Use Scenario: Generating fixed bias for op-amp input stages or RTD bridge excitation in industrial temperature transmitters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies precision reference voltage to analog front-end circuitry operating across -40°C to +125°C. Use Value: Near-zero TC (~+0.02%/°C) minimizes drift-induced offset errors in 16-bit measurement systems. |
Use Scenario: Providing regulated excitation current to MEMS pressure sensors or thermistors in battery-powered IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as constant-current source when combined with series resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ for ~560 µA). Use Value: 470 mW rating allows sustained operation at 20 mA while maintaining <100 mW dissipation in typical bias configurations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C5V6 | ±5% VZ tolerance (5.32–5.88 V); higher ZZT = 40 Ω; SOT-23 package | Lower cost but reduced accuracy; less suitable for closed-loop regulation requiring tight setpoint control | Select when budget constraints outweigh precision needs and board space permits SOT-23 footprint |
| MMSZ5232BS | ±5% VZ; ZZT = 17 Ω; 500 mW rating; SOD-123 same package | Higher power rating but looser tolerance; no AEC-Q101 automotive variant available | Prefer for non-automotive designs needing marginally higher dissipation without changing layout |
Compared with BZX84-C5V6 and MMSZ5232BS, DDZ5V6B-7 delivers superior voltage accuracy and lower dynamic impedance in identical SOD123 packaging - making it optimal for high-fidelity feedback and reference applications where regulation stability is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for DDZ5V6B-7?
The DDZ5V6B-7 has a nominal zener voltage of 5.6 V, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 5.45 V and 5.73 V at 20 mA test current. Below 2.5 V reverse bias, leakage remains ≤0.5 µA - confirming no significant conduction occurs prior to the specified zener knee.
Can DDZ5V6B-7 be used in place of a 5.1 V Zener diode?
No - DDZ5V6B-7 is specifically characterized for 5.6 V operation and is not interchangeable with 5.1 V devices like DDZ5V1B. Substituting alters feedback setpoints, reference levels, and protection thresholds, potentially causing regulation failure or insufficient clamping margin.
Does DDZ5V6B-7 require derating above 25°C ambient?
Yes - its power dissipation must be linearly derated above 25°C at 3.77 mW/°C (based on RθJA = 266°C/W). At 75°C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 300 mW, and at 125°C, it falls to 113 mW to maintain safe junction temperature.
Is there an automotive-grade version of DDZ5V6B-7?
Yes - the DDZ5V6BQ-7 is the AEC-Q101 qualified variant, manufactured in IATF16949-certified facilities, PPAP-capable, and designed for automotive applications including body control modules, infotainment power rails, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
