Product details
Overview
DDZ9682-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount low-current Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 2.7 V (min 2.565 V, max 2.835 V), rated for 500 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB at TL = +75°C, specified at low test current of 50 µA, and packaged in SOD123. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in portable battery-powered sensor circuits and low-power microcontroller reset supervision.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9682-7 datasheet, DDZ9682-7 pinout, DDZ9682-7 application, or DDZ9682-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7 V nominal zener voltage tolerance (±5%), ultra-low reverse leakage (≤1 µA @ VR = 1 V), SOD123 package thermal resistance (RθJA = 340 °C/W), and suitability for automated assembly in space-constrained consumer and industrial IoT nodes.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation under low-bias conditions. Its 50 µA test current enables accurate characterization in micropower systems where quiescent current must remain below 100 µA.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient near 2.7 V (≈ –0.05 %/°C per Fig. 17), requiring thermal-aware layout in precision references. Its SOD123 package delivers 0.01 g mass and UL 94V-0 flammability rating, supporting high-density PCB designs with IPC-compliant reflow profiles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Zener Voltage (Nom) | 2.7 V - Stable regulation point for 2.8 V rail monitoring or 3.3 V LDO feedback |
| Zener Voltage Tolerance | ±5% (2.565–2.835 V) - Enables tight threshold setting without external trimming |
| Test Current (IZT) | 50 µA - Matches typical bias currents in CMOS reset ICs and low-power comparators |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 µA @ VR = 1 V - Ensures <100 nA system standby current contribution in battery-critical apps |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW - Supports transient clamping up to 185 mA at 2.7 V without derating below +75°C board temp |

Applications
| Portable Sensor Node Power Supervision | Microcontroller Reset Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring coin-cell voltage (2.0–3.0 V range) in BLE temperature sensors to trigger low-battery alert before cutoff. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener acts as analog voltage comparator threshold element feeding into GPIO or ADC input. Use Value: ±5% VZ tolerance ensures consistent 2.7 V trip point across temperature; 1 µA IR prevents measurable battery drain during 10-year shelf life. |
Use Scenario: Generating clean reset signal for ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU operating from 3.3 V supply with brown-out detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides precise 2.7 V reference to reset IC (e.g., MAX809) or internal BOD circuit. Use Value: Low 50 µA IZT avoids disturbing reset IC's internal bias network; SOD123 size fits within 2 mm² PCB area budget. |
| Low-Power Analog Front-End Reference | USB-C Port Overvoltage Clamp |
Use Scenario: Biasing op-amp input stage in wearable ECG amplifier powered from single 3.0 V Li-ion cell. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies stable 2.7 V common-mode voltage to instrumentation amplifier inputs. Use Value: Negative TC (–0.05 %/°C) partially compensates for op-amp input offset drift; 340 °C/W RθJA supports continuous operation at ambient up to +60°C. |
Use Scenario: Clamping VBUS line against transient surges during USB-C hot-plug events in portable docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp limiting VBUS to 2.835 V peak during 100 ns transients. Use Value: 500 mW PD rating handles 1 A × 2.7 V = 2.7 W surge for <200 ms; SOD123 thermal mass absorbs short pulses without failure. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C2V7LT1G | Same 2.7 V nominal, but ±6% tolerance (2.54–2.86 V); higher IR (2 µA @ 1 V); SOT-23 package | SOT-23 offers better thermal dissipation (RθJA = 300 °C/W) but requires larger footprint and different pick-and-place setup | Select if board layout permits SOT-23 and tighter thermal management is needed |
| MMSZ4677T1G | 2.7 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but rated at 350 mW PD and 5 mA IZT - higher bias requirement | Higher IZT increases standby current; less suitable for sub-100 µA systems; same SOD123 package | Select only if existing design already uses 5 mA bias and thermal margin exceeds 350 mW |
Compared with BZX84-C2V7LT1G and MMSZ4677T1G, DDZ9682-7 uniquely balances ±5% tolerance, 50 µA test current, and 500 mW rating in SOD123 - making it optimal for battery longevity and space-constrained micropower designs where both accuracy and ultra-low bias matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable reverse voltage before breakdown for DDZ9682-7?
The DDZ9682-7 begins controlled zener breakdown at its nominal 2.7 V, with guaranteed regulation between 2.565 V and 2.835 V at 50 µA. It is not rated for sustained operation above 2.835 V in reverse bias - exceeding this risks unregulated conduction or thermal runaway without current limiting.
Can DDZ9682-7 be used in forward-bias mode like a standard diode?
Yes - its forward voltage is 0.9 V at 10 mA (per DS30410 Rev. 17-2, page 2), making it usable as a low-VF clamp or level shifter. However, its primary design intent and characterization are for reverse-bias zener operation; forward characteristics are secondary and not optimized for switching speed or surge handling.
Does DDZ9682-7 meet automotive qualification requirements?
No - the standard DDZ9682-7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Only variants suffixed with "Q" (e.g., DDZ9682Q-7) are automotive-grade, manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities and PPAP-capable. The -7 suffix alone indicates commercial-grade tape-and-reel packaging.
How does ambient temperature affect the zener voltage accuracy of DDZ9682-7?
DDZ9682-7 exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of approximately –0.05 %/°C near 2.7 V (per Fig. 17). From 25°C to 85°C, this results in ~–0.3 V drift (–11% of nominal), so system-level compensation or layout isolation is required for applications demanding better than ±2% regulation across temperature.
