Product details
Overview
DDZ9693-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount low-current Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C on FR-4 PCB, with nominal zener voltage of 7.5 V (min 7.13 V, max 7.88 V) at 50 µA test current, and reverse leakage current ≤0.1 µA at VR = 5.7 V. It is optimized for low-bias, battery-powered sensing and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9693-7 datasheet, DDZ9693-7 pinout, DDZ9693-7 application, or DDZ9693-7 equivalent, this device serves as a precision voltage reference in portable instrumentation, power supply feedback paths, and overvoltage protection clamping where low test current and tight voltage tolerance are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation under low-current conditions (IZT = 50 µA), with thermal resistance junction-to-lead of 150 °C/W enabling reliable operation on standard PCB layouts. Its specified leakage current (≤0.1 µA at 5.7 V) ensures minimal quiescent power draw in always-on monitoring circuits.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +0.04 %/°C near 7.5 V (per Fig. 17), supporting predictable drift behavior in ambient-temperature-varying applications. Its SOD123 package complies with J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and features matte tin annealed terminals for robust solderability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation for DDZ9693-7 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
DDZ9693-7 is rated for 500 mW power dissipation when mounted on FR-4 PCB with minimum recommended pad layout at lead temperature TL = +75°C. Derating is required above this temperature per Figure 1; at TA = +85°C, maximum power drops to approximately 425 mW based on RθJA = 340 °C/W.
Does DDZ9693-7 have automotive qualification?
No - DDZ9693-7 is the standard industrial-grade variant. The automotive-qualified version is DDZ9693Q-7, which is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities. DDZ9693-7 lacks automotive change control and qualification documentation.
How is the cathode identified on the DDZ9693-7 SOD123 package?
The cathode is marked by a visible band on the body of the SOD123 package, located adjacent to the cathode terminal. This band aligns with the cathode symbol in the top-view diagram in DS30410 Rev. 17–2, page 2, and corresponds to the terminal designated "Cathode" in the Pinout & Package table.
What is the typical zener impedance of DDZ9693-7 at 50 µA?
Per Figure 12 in DS30410 Rev. 17–2, the typical dynamic impedance (ZZT) of DDZ9693-7 is approximately 450 Ω at IZT = 50 µA and TJ = +25°C. This value increases significantly at lower currents and decreases slightly at higher currents within the specified operating range.
