Product details
Overview
DDZ8V2C-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 8.2 V, ±2.5% tolerance (8.03–8.45 V), 20 mA test current, 8 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, and 0.5 µA maximum reverse leakage at 6.5 V. It operates in SOD123 package and serves as voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ8V2C-7 datasheet, DDZ8V2C-7 pinout, DDZ8V2C-7 application, or DDZ8V2C-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal stability (TC ≈ +0.05%/°C near 8.2 V), low dynamic impedance for regulation fidelity, SOD123 footprint compatibility, and automotive-grade qualification status (AEC-Q101 not applicable - this is commercial-grade variant).
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal, reverse-biased silicon Zener diode optimized for stable voltage reference generation under fixed-current bias. Its breakdown mechanism is predominantly avalanche-dominated above 6 V, yielding low temperature coefficient and predictable knee characteristics.
Designed for operation at IZT = 20 mA, it delivers tight VZ tolerance and low ZZT, enabling high-accuracy regulation in space-constrained PCB layouts. The SOD123 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering while maintaining thermal resistance of 425 °C/W on minimal copper pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.03–8.45 V @ IZT = 20 mA - defines regulated output range for reference or clamping |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 8 Ω @ f = 1 kHz - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA @ VR = 6.5 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 294 mW @ TA = 25°C (min. pad) - sets max continuous bias current to ~36 mA at 8.2 V |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 425 °C/W - requires careful thermal layout for ambient >75°C operation |
| Operating Temperature | −65 to +150 °C - supports industrial and extended-temperature applications |
| Package | SOD123 - 2.65 mm × 1.55 mm × 1.05 mm surface-mount outline with cathode band marking |
Pinout & Package
DDZ8V2C-7 uses a two-terminal SOD123 package: anode and cathode are accessed via the two metallized end terminals. Cathode is identified by a visible band on the component body. No internal connections beyond these two terminals exist.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to circuit common or lower-potential rail; forms return path during reverse breakdown |
| Cathode | Zener voltage output terminal / regulated node | Provides stable 8.2 V reference when biased with current-limiting resistor; marked with band |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision Zener voltage tolerance | ±2.5% (8.03–8.45 V) - enables direct replacement in 8.2 V reference designs without recalibration |
| Low dynamic impedance | 8 Ω @ 1 kHz - maintains regulation accuracy under varying load or source impedance |
| Automated assembly compatibility | SOD123 footprint with matte tin annealed terminals - ensures reliable solder wetting and IPC Class 3 process compliance |
| Green compound packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (UL 94V-0) - meets RoHS 3 and automotive environmental requirements |
| Stable temperature coefficient | ≈+0.05%/°C near 8.2 V - minimizes drift across −40°C to +125°C operating range |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | USB-C Power Delivery Feedback |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C8V2 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 8.2 V nominal, ±5% tolerance (7.79–8.61 V), 15 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package | Larger footprint (SOT-23 vs SOD123), higher thermal resistance (~625 °C/W), no automotive qualification path | Select if board already uses SOT-23 library; avoid where space or thermal performance is constrained. |
| MMSZ5236B (Vishay) | 8.2 V nominal, ±5% tolerance (7.79–8.61 V), 10 Ω ZZT, SOD-123 package, RoHS-compliant | Identical package but looser tolerance and higher leakage (1.0 µA @ 6.5 V) | Acceptable for non-critical references; not recommended where <0.5 µA leakage or ±2.5% VZ is required. |
Compared with BZX84-C8V2 and MMSZ5236B, DDZ8V2C-7 offers tighter voltage tolerance, lower dynamic impedance, and lower leakage-making it preferable for high-accuracy analog references and compact industrial designs where SOD123 real estate is optimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DDZ8V2C-7 at 75°C ambient?
At TA = 75°C, DDZ8V2C-7 is rated for 500 mW power dissipation when mounted with lead temperature controlled to 75°C (Note 6). This corresponds to a maximum average current of ~61 mA at 8.2 V, assuming ideal thermal coupling to the PCB leads. Derating must follow Figure 1 in DS30407 Rev. 21-2.
Is DDZ8V2C-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - DDZ8V2C-7 is the commercial-grade variant. Automotive qualification requires the "Q" suffix (e.g., DDZ8V2CQ-7), which is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF16949-certified facilities. The "C" grade denotes tighter voltage binning but no automotive change control or stress testing.
How does the temperature coefficient behave near 8.2 V?
Per Figure 16–19 in DS30407, the temperature coefficient of DDZ8V2C-7 is approximately +0.05%/°C - positive and relatively flat across −40°C to +125°C. This reflects its avalanche-dominated breakdown, minimizing drift in mid-voltage Zeners compared to lower-voltage (e.g., 5.1 V) devices with negative TC.
Can DDZ8V2C-7 be used in series or parallel configurations?
Series connection is permissible for higher reference voltages, but matching unit-to-unit VZ tolerance and TC is critical to avoid imbalance. Parallel use is not recommended due to mismatched knee characteristics causing current hogging; dedicated reference ICs or matched arrays should be used instead for parallel stability.
