Product details
Overview
DDZ9678-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount low-current Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 1.8 V nominal zener voltage (min 1.71 V, max 1.89 V) at 50 µA test current, with 500 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB at TL = +75°C and 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA. It serves as a precision voltage reference or low-power clamp in portable battery-powered circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9678-7 datasheet, DDZ9678-7 pinout, DDZ9678-7 application, or DDZ9678-7 equivalent, this part is selected for ultra-low-bias voltage regulation where thermal stability, RoHS/Green compliance, and automated assembly compatibility are critical - especially in space-constrained, low-quiescent-current designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage tolerance (±5% at 1.8 V), specified at a low 50 µA test current to minimize self-heating and enable stable operation in micro-power systems. Its 0.01 g mass and SOD123 footprint support high-density PCB layouts.
Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 340 °C/W (FR-4, 1-inch² pad), and junction-to-lead is 150 °C/W, enabling predictable derating up to +150°C operating temperature. Reverse leakage is limited to 7.5 µA at VR = 1 V, confirming suitability for standby-mode voltage monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 1.8 V nominal (1.71–1.89 V range); enables precise low-voltage rail clamping or reference in 1.8 V logic domains. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 50 µA; allows stable regulation without loading weak bias sources in battery-backed or energy-harvesting circuits. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TL = +75°C on FR-4; supports continuous operation in thermally constrained consumer and IoT modules. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V @ 10 mA; ensures minimal conduction loss when used bidirectionally or in protection configurations. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 7.5 µA @ VR = 1 V; guarantees negligible standby current draw in always-on sensing nodes. |
| Package | SOD123; industry-standard 2-pin surface-mount outline (2.65 mm × 1.55 mm × 1.05 mm) compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow processes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123 - molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), cathode indicated by band marking; terminals are matte tin annealed over Alloy 42 leadframe, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side in reverse-bias regulation; forms reference ground return path in shunt regulator topologies. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage reference output | Marked with band; supplies stable 1.8 V reference when reverse-biased above breakdown threshold; ties to regulated rail or feedback node. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low test current operation | Specified at 50 µA - eliminates need for high-current bias networks, reducing system power overhead in coin-cell or energy-harvesting applications. |
| Automated assembly compatibility | SOD123 footprint and matte tin finish ensure reliable placement and solder joint formation in high-speed SMT lines without lead-free process adjustments. |
| Green & RoHS compliance | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb); meets EU RoHS 2015/863/EU and IATF 16949 manufacturing requirements. |
| Thermal performance | RθJA = 340 °C/W on FR-4 - enables accurate thermal modeling for compact PCBs with limited copper area. |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which DDZ9678-7 maintains ≤7.5 µA leakage?
DDZ9678-7 guarantees ≤7.5 µA reverse leakage current at VR = 1 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. At higher reverse voltages below breakdown (e.g., 1.5 V), leakage increases nonlinearly and is not characterized - operation above 1 V but below VZ is not recommended for precision biasing.
Can DDZ9678-7 be used in place of a 1N4728A (3.3 V Zener)?
No - DDZ9678-7 is a 1.8 V Zener diode with 50 µA test current, while 1N4728A is a 3.3 V device rated at 76 mA test current and 1 W power dissipation. Their voltage ratings, power handling, thermal design, and bias requirements are incompatible; substituting one for the other would cause under-regulation or thermal runaway.
Is the SOD123 package of DDZ9678-7 compatible with IPC-7351B density levels?
Yes - the SOD123 footprint matches IPC-7351B "SOD-123" generic land pattern (density level N). Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout (documented in their package outlines) specifies 0.90 mm pad width, 0.95 mm pad length, and 1.05 mm center-to-center spacing - fully compliant with IPC-7351B nominal dimensions.
Does DDZ9678-7 exhibit significant voltage drift over temperature?
At 1.8 V, DDZ9678-7 has a typical temperature coefficient of −0.06 %/°C (per Fig. 17), resulting in ≈−1.08 mV/°C drift. Over −40°C to +125°C, total VZ shift is approximately ±90 mV - acceptable for non-critical biasing but insufficient for metrology-grade references without compensation.
