Product details
Overview
DDZ9684Q-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 AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive PPAP capability, and is optimized for low-bias voltage regulation in battery-powered sensor nodes and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9684Q-7 datasheet, DDZ9684Q-7 pinout, DDZ9684Q-7 application, or DDZ9684Q-7 equivalent, this part delivers stable low-current zener reference performance with tight voltage tolerance, ultra-low leakage (<7.5 µA @ VR = 1.5 V), and IATF 16949-certified manufacturing - critical for automotive body electronics, wearables, and precision analog front-ends.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified zener voltage of 3.3 V at 50 µA test current, exhibiting low dynamic impedance (typ. ~120 Ω at IZ = 5 mA) and temperature coefficient near zero crossing (~0.02 %/°C at 3.3 V). Its thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 150 °C/W, enabling reliable operation under moderate ambient conditions when mounted per recommended SOD123 pad layout.
The device uses alloy-42 leadframe with matte tin annealed finish, compliant with MIL-STD-202 solderability requirements. Moisture sensitivity level is J-STD-020 Level 1, and it carries cathode band marking for unambiguous polarity identification - essential for automated optical inspection and high-yield SMT assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.3 V nominal (3.13–3.47 V range at IZT = 50 µA); enables precise low-voltage rail clamping and reference generation. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TL = +75°C on FR-4; supports continuous regulation in compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <7.5 µA at VR = 1.5 V; ensures minimal quiescent current draw in always-on battery systems. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 150 °C/W junction-to-lead; allows direct thermal path to PCB copper for improved reliability in automotive under-hood modules. |
| Package | SOD123 surface-mount case; compatible with standard 0805 footprint and reflow profiles (MSL Level 1). |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive applications including body control modules and infotainment power rails. |
Pinout & Package
DDZ9684Q-7 uses the SOD123 plastic molded package (UL 94V-0), with cathode indicated by a visible band on the case. The device has two terminals: anode and cathode - no internal connections beyond the PN junction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Reverse-biased terminal during zener operation | Connected to regulated voltage node; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction and regulation failure. |
| Anode | Reference/ground return path | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms current path with series resistor for biasing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low test current operation | Specified at 50 µA - reduces bias resistor power loss and extends battery life in IoT sensors. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use with full PPAP documentation and IATF 16949 manufacturing traceability. |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Meets <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - satisfies global environmental compliance mandates. |
| Lead-free and RoHS 3 compliant | Fully compliant with EU Directive 2015/863/EU - suitable for export-controlled and medical-adjacent designs. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Portable Medical Sensor Node |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-current zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V3-7-F | Same 3.3 V nominal, but rated at 300 mW PD and 10 mA IZT; higher leakage (≤5 µA @ VR = 1 V). | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive change control; not PPAP-capable. | Select for cost-sensitive industrial consumer designs where automotive traceability is unnecessary. |
| MMSZ4683T1G | 3.3 V nominal, 500 mW PD, but specified at 10 mA IZT; higher dynamic impedance (~170 Ω) and wider VZ tolerance (2.97–3.63 V). | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; moisture sensitivity Level 1 but no IATF 16949 manufacturing statement. | Prefer for non-automotive applications requiring broader VZ tolerance and legacy design reuse. |
Compared with BZX84-C3V3-7-F and MMSZ4683T1G, DDZ9684Q-7 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 50 µA low-current specification, and tight 3.13–3.47 V tolerance - making it the only choice for automotive-grade, battery-sensitive zener references demanding production traceability and thermal stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for DDZ9684Q-7 at 1.5 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 7.5 µA at VR = 1.5 V and TA = +25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains stable up to +85°C per Figure 21, making it suitable for low-quiescent-current designs where standby power budget is critical.
Is DDZ9684Q-7 compatible with standard SOD123 reflow profiles?
Yes - DDZ9684Q-7 is rated for MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports industry-standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 30 sec max). Its matte tin annealed finish ensures robust solder wetting, and the SOD123 outline matches IPC-7351B generic footprint recommendations.
Does DDZ9684Q-7 require derating above +75°C ambient?
Yes - power dissipation must be linearly derated above +75°C ambient per Figure 1. At +100°C, maximum allowable PD drops to approximately 368 mW (derate 3.92 mW/°C beyond +75°C), based on its 340 °C/W RθJA and 150 °C/W RθJL thermal characteristics.
How is the cathode identified on DDZ9684Q-7?
The cathode is marked by a distinct dark band on the SOD123 case body, aligned with the cathode terminal. This band is visible in top-view orientation per the marking diagram (XX YM format), and corresponds to the banded end shown in the SOD123 mechanical drawing on page 7 of DS30410 Rev. 17-2.
