Product details
Overview
DDZ9692-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount low-current Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 6.8 V (min 6.46 V, max 7.14 V), rated for 500 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB at TL = +75°C, and specified at low test current (50 µA) - ideal for precision voltage reference and low-bias battery-powered circuits in portable instrumentation and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9692-7 datasheet, DDZ9692-7 pinout, DDZ9692-7 application, or DDZ9692-7 equivalent, this part serves as a stable, low-leakage (0.1 µA @ VR = 5.1 V) voltage clamp in power supply feedback paths, analog front-end protection, and microcontroller reset supervision where thermal stability and SOD123 footprint compatibility are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable reference voltage across its cathode–anode terminals. Its 6.8 V nominal zener voltage exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +0.03 %/°C (per Fig. 17), enabling predictable drift behavior over –65°C to +150°C operating range.
Designed for low-current biasing, it delivers tight voltage tolerance (±5%) at IZT = 50 µA and maintains low dynamic impedance (~150 Ω at IZ = 1 mA per Fig. 11), supporting accurate regulation in high-impedance sensing nodes and low-power supervisory circuits.

Applications
| Portable Sensor Reference | Microcontroller Reset Supervision |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Precision analog sensor (e.g., thermistor bridge or RTD interface) requires stable 6.8 V reference for ADC excitation in battery-powered IoT node. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing low-drift excitation voltage independent of supply variation. Use Value: 0.1 µA leakage and ±5% voltage tolerance ensure >12-bit effective resolution and multi-year battery life. |
Use Scenario: Microcontroller-based smart meter needs reliable reset assertion during brown-out conditions below 4.5 V supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener-clamped voltage divider feeding RC network to reset IC input. Use Value: Tight 6.46–7.14 V range and low TC enable consistent reset threshold across –40°C to +85°C operating range. |
| Low-Power Power Supply Feedback | ESD-Sensitive Analog Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Isolated flyback converter uses optocoupler feedback with secondary-side shunt regulator for tight output regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener reference in TL431-like discrete shunt regulator configuration. Use Value: 500 mW rating and 150 °C/W RθJL allow direct PCB copper heatsinking without thermal vias in space-constrained designs. |
Use Scenario: High-impedance op-amp input stage in medical-grade biosignal amplifier requires robust overvoltage clamping. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (<2 pF at 1 V, per Fig. 10) shunt clamp protecting input against ESD transients. Use Value: Sub-1 µA leakage preserves DC accuracy while clamping fast transients up to ±8 kV (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C6V8 (ON Semiconductor) | Same SOD-123 package, 6.8 V nominal, but rated at 300 mW and higher IR (0.5 µA @ VR = 5.1 V). | Higher leakage limits use in nanoampere-bias circuits; lower power rating restricts use in sustained 500 mW thermal environments. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs leakage and thermal performance requirements. |
| MMSZ4687 (Vishay) | 6.8 V nominal, 500 mW rating, but specified at IZT = 5 mA (not 50 µA); higher dynamic impedance (~200 Ω at 1 mA). | Less suitable for low-current references; better suited for higher-current clamp or transient suppression roles. | Prefer only if design already uses 5 mA bias and requires legacy second-source availability. |
Compared with BZX84-C6V8 and MMSZ4687, DDZ9692-7 uniquely balances ultra-low leakage (0.1 µA), low-current regulation (50 µA IZT), and full 500 mW thermal capability - making it optimal for precision, low-power, and thermally constrained Zener reference implementations.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which DDZ9692-7 guarantees ≤0.1 µA leakage?
DDZ9692-7 guarantees ≤0.1 µA reverse leakage current at VR = 5.1 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured at TA = +25°C and defines the upper limit of applied reverse voltage before significant conduction begins - critical for setting safe operating margins in reference and clamp circuits.
Can DDZ9692-7 be used in place of a 5.1 V Zener diode in a reset circuit?
No - DDZ9692-7 has a nominal zener voltage of 6.8 V (6.46–7.14 V range), not 5.1 V. Using it in a 5.1 V reset circuit would cause incorrect threshold detection and potential system malfunction. For 5.1 V applications, DDZ9690-7 (5.6 V) or DDZ9689-7 (5.1 V) from the same series are appropriate alternatives.
Is DDZ9692-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - DDZ9692-7 is the standard industrial version. The automotive-qualified variant is DDZ9692Q-7, which carries AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and is manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities. Only the "Q" suffix denotes automotive compliance.
What is the typical zener impedance (ZZT) of DDZ9692-7 at 1 mA test current?
Per Figure 11 in the datasheet, DDZ9692-7 exhibits typical zener impedance of ~150 Ω at IZ = 1 mA and TJ = +25°C. This value reflects dynamic resistance in breakdown and directly impacts regulation accuracy under varying load or line conditions.
