Product details
Overview
DDZ9692T-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 6.8 V (min 6.46 V, max 7.14 V), 150 mW power dissipation, 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 5.1 V, and SOD523 package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power biasing, reference, and protection circuits for portable electronics and sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9692T-7 datasheet, DDZ9692T-7 pinout, DDZ9692T-7 application, or DDZ9692T-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, low leakage at rated VR, thermal resistance (833 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs using standard SOD523 pad layout.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its sharp breakdown characteristic and low leakage (0.1 µA @ 5.1 V) enable high-accuracy voltage referencing in low-current applications such as ADC references and microcontroller reset supervision.
The device uses an alloy-42 leadframe with matte tin annealed finish, rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020D, and achieves thermal resistance of 833 °C/W when mounted on FR-4 with recommended pad layout - critical for derating above +25°C ambient.

Applications
| ADC Reference Voltage Source | Microcontroller Reset Supervisor |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 6.8 V reference for 12-bit SAR ADC in battery-powered sensor node. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acts as shunt voltage reference, sinking excess current to maintain fixed voltage at ADC REF+ pin. Use Value: Low 0.1 µA leakage prevents loading of high-impedance divider network; ±5% VZ tolerance meets 1 LSB error budget for 3.3 V full-scale conversion. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring 5 V supply rail to assert reset signal when voltage drops below 4.75 V in embedded controller system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener configured in series with resistor and transistor base to trigger reset at defined threshold. Use Value: Sharp breakdown enables clean transition; 833 °C/W RθJA allows reliable operation up to +85°C ambient without thermal runaway. |
| ESD Protection Clamp | Low-Power Bias Network |
Use Scenario: Protecting I²C data line against ±8 kV HBM ESD events in industrial gateway module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener placed between SDA and ground to clamp transient overvoltage while preserving signal integrity. Use Value: 150 mW rating handles short-duration ESD pulses; SOD523 size fits inline with 0.4 mm pitch routing. |
Use Scenario: Generating bias voltage for op-amp input stage in ultra-low-power wearable health monitor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener supplies stable 6.8 V to high-impedance op-amp non-inverting input via current-limiting resistor. Use Value: Sub-microamp leakage avoids drift in picoampere-level input bias currents; −65°C to +150°C range supports body-worn thermal cycling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C6V8 | Same 6.8 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and 200 mW rating in SOD323 package | Larger footprint (1.7 mm × 1.3 mm) and higher power allow higher current regulation but reduce board density | Select when higher power margin or legacy SOD323 layout reuse is required |
| MMSZ4687 | 6.8 V nominal, ±5%, 500 mW rating in SOD123 package; VF = 0.9 V same, but IR = 1 µA @ 5.1 V | Higher leakage and larger package limit use in nanoampere-bias or space-constrained designs | Prefer only where higher power handling outweighs leakage and size penalties |
Compared with BZX584-C6V8 and MMSZ4687, DDZ9692T-7 offers the smallest footprint (SOD523), lowest leakage (0.1 µA), and tightest thermal resistance control for FR-4 mounting - making it optimal for miniaturized, low-quiescent-current applications where board area and precision are prioritized over raw power capacity.

FAQ
What is the maximum zener test current (IZT) for DDZ9692T-7?
The datasheet specifies IZT = 50 µA for DDZ9692T-7. This is the standardized test current used to measure nominal zener voltage (6.8 V) and define the voltage range (6.46 V to 7.14 V). Operation outside this current may shift VZ due to dynamic impedance effects shown in Figure 10.
Can DDZ9692T-7 be used in forward-bias applications?
Yes - its forward voltage is 0.9 V at 10 mA, making it suitable for low-drop rectification or polarity protection. However, it is not optimized for continuous forward conduction; maximum forward current is limited by 150 mW power dissipation and thermal resistance, requiring derating above +25°C ambient.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOD523 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D, with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH). Recommended peak reflow temperature is 260°C for ≤30 seconds, matching standard Pb-free profiles used in high-volume SMT lines.
How does temperature affect the zener voltage of DDZ9692T-7?
Figure 16 shows the temperature coefficient for 6.2–9.1 V devices (including DDZ9692T-7) ranges from approximately −0.02%/°C to +0.08%/°C. At 6.8 V, typical TC is +0.04%/°C - meaning VZ increases ~2.7 mV/°C over the −65°C to +150°C range, critical for high-accuracy reference designs.
