Product details
Overview
DDZ9693Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount, low-current, AEC-Q101 qualified Zener diode in SOD123 package, with nominal zener voltage 7.5 V (min 7.13 V, max 7.88 V) at 50 µA test current, 500 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB, and reverse leakage ≤0.1 µA at 5.7 V. It serves as precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in automotive sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9693Q-7 datasheet, DDZ9693Q-7 pinout, DDZ9693Q-7 application, or DDZ9693Q-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, temperature coefficient (≈+0.03 %/°C), SOD123 mechanical dimensions, and automotive-grade sourcing context - all critical for low-power biasing and ESD-protected analog front-ends.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage tolerance (±5% at 25°C) and ultra-low test current (50 µA), enabling stable regulation in micro-power systems where quiescent current must remain below 100 µA. Its 150 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports reliable operation under localized heating in dense automotive PCB layouts.
The device exhibits positive temperature coefficient (+0.03 %/°C typical near 7.5 V), minimizing drift across –40°C to +125°C ambient range. Its 0.01 g mass and SOD123 footprint (2.65 mm × 1.55 mm × 1.05 mm) are optimized for high-speed pick-and-place and reflow compatibility per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C7V5-7-F | Same 7.5 V nominal, but ±6% tolerance (vs. ±5%), higher IR (1 µA @ 5.7 V), not AEC-Q101 qualified | Acceptable for industrial non-automotive designs; lacks PPAP documentation and IATF 16949 traceability | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where automotive compliance is unnecessary |
| MMSZ5235B-TP | 7.5 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but rated at 350 mW (vs. 500 mW), RθJA = 390 °C/W, no AEC-Q101 certification | Lower power handling limits sustained clamping in 12 V automotive transients; requires larger copper area for thermal management | Choose only if footprint compatibility with existing SOD-123 layout is required and automotive qualification is waived |
Compared with BZX84-C7V5-7-F and MMSZ5235B-TP, DDZ9693Q-7 delivers superior thermal robustness (500 mW rating), tighter leakage (0.1 µA), and full automotive qualification - making it the sole choice for safety-critical, high-reliability 12 V system monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for DDZ9693Q-7 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
DDZ9693Q-7 delivers 500 mW power dissipation when mounted on FR-4 with minimum recommended pad layout at lead temperature (TL) = +75°C. Derating begins linearly above +75°C, reaching zero at +150°C ambient, per Figure 1 in DS30410 Rev. 17-2.
Does DDZ9693Q-7 have a defined zener impedance, and what is its typical value at 7.5 V?
Yes - typical zener impedance (ZZT) is 350 Ω at IZT = 50 µA and TJ = 25°C, as shown in Figure 12 of DS30410. This value increases at lower currents and decreases slightly at higher currents, remaining below 500 Ω across the 10 µA–1 mA operating range.
Can DDZ9693Q-7 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficient mismatch and unequal current sharing when paralleled. The datasheet does not recommend parallel operation; instead, use a single higher-rated device or external series resistor to limit current during transient events.
Is the SOD123 package of DDZ9693Q-7 compatible with IPC-7351B land pattern Class G?
Yes - Diodes Incorporated's official SOD123 outline (documented in DS30410 p.7) specifies pad dimensions matching IPC-7351B Class G: 1.2 mm pad length, 0.7 mm pad width, 1.8 mm center-to-center spacing, and 0.3 mm solder mask expansion - validated for reflow and automated optical inspection.
