Product details
Overview
DDZ9684-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount low-current Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 3.3 V nominal zener voltage (3.13–3.47 V), 50 µA test current, and 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C on FR-4 PCB. It features low reverse leakage (7.5 µA @ VR = 1.5 V), cathode band polarity marking, and is optimized for low-bias voltage regulation in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9684-7 datasheet, DDZ9684-7 pinout, DDZ9684-7 application, or DDZ9684-7 equivalent, this device serves as a precision low-power reference or clamp in space-constrained, thermally sensitive designs where stable 3.3 V regulation at microamp bias is required - especially in wearables, sensor nodes, and IoT endpoint power rails.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage tolerance (±5% at IZT = 50 µA) and exhibits low dynamic impedance (typ. 120 Ω at IZ = 1 mA, TJ = 25°C). Its thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 150 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature.
The device uses alloy 42 leadframe with matte tin annealed finish, complies with J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and is fully RoHS 3 compliant with halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nom) | 3.3 V - Stable reference point for 3.3 V rail clamping or biasing |
| Zener Voltage Range | 3.13–3.47 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable regulation across production lot |
| Test Current (IZT) | 50 µA - Enables ultra-low quiescent current operation in battery-critical applications |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 7.5 µA @ VR = 1.5 V - Minimal standby power loss during non-regulation state |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TL = +75°C - Sufficient headroom for transient overvoltage clamping on standard FR-4 |
| Thermal Resistance (J-to-L) | 150 °C/W - Supports direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for passive cooling |
| Operating Temp Range | −65 to +150 °C - Validated for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which DDZ9684-7 guarantees ≤7.5 µA leakage?
DDZ9684-7 guarantees ≤7.5 µA reverse leakage current at VR = 1.5 V, per Electrical Characteristics Table in DS30410 Rev. 17–2. This value is measured at TA = +25°C with short-duration pulse testing to minimize self-heating effects.
Can DDZ9684-7 be used in place of a 3.3 V voltage reference IC in precision applications?
No - DDZ9684-7 is a Zener diode, not a buffered reference IC. It lacks active regulation, temperature compensation, or low-output-impedance drive. It provides adequate stability for clamping and coarse biasing but not for high-accuracy DAC/ADC references requiring <10 ppm/°C drift.
Is DDZ9684-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - only the Q-suffix variants (e.g., DDZ9684Q-7) are AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. DDZ9684-7 is the standard industrial-grade version and is not certified for automotive use.
What is the typical zener impedance (ZZT) of DDZ9684-7 at 1 mA test current?
The typical zener impedance (ZZT) of DDZ9684-7 is 120 Ω at IZ = 1 mA and TJ = 25°C, as shown in Figure 11 of DS30410. This value increases significantly below 100 µA and rises with temperature.
