Product details
Overview
DDZ8V2CQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision automotive-grade Zener diode in SOD123 package, with nominal zener voltage 8.2 V (min 8.03 V, max 8.45 V), zener test current 20 mA, dynamic impedance 8 Ω at IZT, and reverse leakage ≤0.5 µA at 6.5 V. It serves as a stable voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply feedback loops and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ8V2CQ-7 datasheet, DDZ8V2CQ-7 pinout, DDZ8V2CQ-7 application, or DDZ8V2CQ-7 equivalent, this part is selected for AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring tight VZ tolerance (±2.7%), low thermal drift, and robust solderability in automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its cathode–anode terminals. Its 8.2 V nominal zener voltage falls in the medium-voltage range where temperature coefficient crosses zero - confirmed at +0.02 %/°C per Figure 16 - enabling minimal drift over -65°C to +150°C operating range.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR-4 PCBs, it delivers 470 mW power dissipation at TA = +25°C with RθJA = 266 °C/W (Note 7 layout) and supports high-reliability automotive applications via IATF16949 manufacturing, PPAP capability, and AEC-Q101 qualification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.03–8.45 V at IZT = 20 mA - ensures ±2.7% tolerance for accurate voltage regulation in feedback networks. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 8 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - maintains low output impedance for stable reference under varying load conditions. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at VR = 6.5 V - minimizes parasitic current draw in high-impedance bias or sensing nodes. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 470 mW at TA = +25°C - supports continuous operation in compact power management circuits without forced cooling. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 266 °C/W - defines junction-to-ambient rise per watt; requires ≥1 in² copper pad for rated derating per Note 7. |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +150°C - enables deployment in engine control units, ADAS sensors, and under-hood electronics. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive applications with change control, PPAP documentation, and IATF16949 production. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C8V2LT1G | Same VZ range (8.0–8.5 V), but ±5% tolerance and no AEC-Q101 qualification; RθJA = 350 °C/W. | Commercial-grade only; unsuitable for automotive or extended-temperature industrial use. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs reliability requirements and ambient temperature stays <85°C. |
| MMSZ5236B-TP | VZ = 8.2 V ±5%, SOD-123 package, but only RoHS-compliant (not halogen-free); PD = 350 mW. | Lacks automotive qualification and green material certification; lower power rating limits sustained regulation duty. | Choose for legacy commercial designs where Diodes' green process and PPAP are not mandated. |
Compared with BZX84-C8V2LT1G and MMSZ5236B-TP, DDZ8V2CQ-7 offers tighter tolerance, AEC-Q101 validation, halogen-free construction, and higher power handling - making it the sole choice for safety-critical automotive voltage references requiring long-term stability and supply-chain traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of DDZ8V2CQ-7 at +75°C ambient?
At TL = +75°C, DDZ8V2CQ-7 supports 500 mW power dissipation per DS30407 Rev. 21-2, page 2. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal relief (e.g., 1 in² copper pad) and applies to leadframe temperature, not ambient - critical for high-power regulator feedback designs.
Is DDZ8V2CQ-7 suitable for use in a 12 V automotive battery monitoring circuit?
Yes - its 8.2 V zener voltage and 6.5 V reverse test voltage allow safe clamping of transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump). Combined with AEC-Q101 qualification and -65°C to +150°C operation, it meets requirements for direct connection to unregulated vehicle battery rails.
How does the temperature coefficient of DDZ8V2CQ-7 compare to lower-voltage Zeners?
DDZ8V2CQ-7 exhibits +0.02 %/°C TC (Figure 16), near the zero-TC crossover point for silicon Zeners (~6–8 V). This is significantly more stable than 5.1 V parts (e.g., DDZ5V1B at -0.06 %/°C) and avoids the rising positive TC seen above 10 V, making it optimal for wide-temperature reference designs.
Can DDZ8V2CQ-7 replace a TL431 in a shunt regulator configuration?
No - DDZ8V2CQ-7 is a two-terminal passive Zener diode, lacking the three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator functionality, internal reference, and op-amp gain of TL431. It can serve as a fixed-voltage reference in simple feedback dividers but cannot replicate programmable threshold or current-sink behavior.
