Product details
Overview
DDZ9683Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount, low-current Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 3.0 V nominal zener voltage (2.85–3.15 V), 50 µA test current, and 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C. It features 0.8 µA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 1 V and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications including battery voltage monitoring and low-power reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9683Q-7 datasheet, DDZ9683Q-7 pinout, DDZ9683Q-7 application, or DDZ9683Q-7 equivalent, this device is selected for precision low-bias voltage regulation in space-constrained, thermally stable automotive and portable electronics where tight zener tolerance and low leakage are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage under low-current conditions (IZT = 50 µA), minimizing self-heating and enabling use in ultra-low-power systems. Its 340 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance reflects FR-4 PCB mounting with standard pad layout.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately –0.02 %/°C near 3.0 V, supporting stable regulation across –65°C to +150°C operating range. Cathode-band polarity marking and matte tin–annealed terminals ensure compatibility with automated reflow assembly and RoHS-compliant manufacturing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V0-7-F | Same 3.0 V nominal, but ±6% tolerance (2.85–3.15 V), 350 mW rating, SOT-23 package | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (450 °C/W); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and thermal performance needs |
| MMSZ4683T1G | 3.0 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package, but only industrial-grade (–65°C to +150°C not validated) | No PPAP support or IATF 16949 traceability; leakage 1.0 µA @ VR = 1 V | Select for non-automotive industrial designs requiring identical electrical specs and package |
Compared with BZX84-C3V0-7-F and MMSZ4683T1G, DDZ9683Q-7 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 0.8 µA leakage, and full IATF 16949 traceability-making it the only choice for production automotive voltage reference nodes requiring zero-defect reliability and change-controlled sourcing.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for DDZ9683Q-7 at 25°C?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 0.8 µA at VR = 1 V and TA = +25°C, measured per DS30410 Rev. 17–2. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and applies to all units within specification; no derating is required at room temperature.
Is DDZ9683Q-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - its matte tin–annealed terminals meet MIL-STD-202 Method 208 solderability requirements and are qualified for standard JEDEC J-STD-020 lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak, with Level 1 moisture sensitivity ensuring no pre-bake is needed.
Does DDZ9683Q-7 require external current limiting in series with the cathode?
Yes - like all Zener diodes, it requires a series current-limiting resistor to set IZT = 50 µA for nominal regulation. The resistor value is calculated using (VSUPPLY − VZ) / 50 µA, where VSUPPLY must exceed 3.15 V to ensure breakdown across tolerance.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over –40°C to +125°C?
At 3.0 V, the typical temperature coefficient is –0.02 %/°C (Fig. 17), resulting in ≈±15 mV drift over 165°C span. For applications requiring tighter stability, this drift must be compensated in system-level calibration or paired with temperature-sensing firmware correction.
