Product details
Overview
DDZ9693T-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 7.5 V (min 7.13 V, max 7.88 V), 150 mW power dissipation, 50 µA maximum zener test current, 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 5.7 V, and SOD523 package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power biasing, reference, and protection circuits for portable power management and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9693T-7 datasheet, DDZ9693T-7 pinout, DDZ9693T-7 application, or DDZ9693T-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±4.5%), low leakage (<0.1 µA), sharp breakdown characteristics, thermal resistance (833 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near 7.5 V, minimizing drift in ambient-temperature-stable applications.
The SOD523 package enables high-density placement while maintaining thermal performance via optimized pad layout per Diodes' recommended footprint. The cathode band marking defines polarity, and the matte tin finish ensures reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C7V5 | Same 7.5 V nominal, but SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm); 200 mW rating; higher leakage (0.5 µA @ 5.7 V) | Larger footprint limits high-density layouts; higher power enables higher-current regulation | Select when board space permits and >150 mW dissipation is required |
| MMSZ4685 | 7.5 V nominal, SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 mm); 500 mW rating; leakage 1 µA @ 5.7 V; wider VZ tolerance (±5%) | Lower cost, easier hand-soldering, but occupies ~3× more area and less stable at low current | Select for prototyping, repair, or non-space-constrained industrial controls |
Compared with BZX584C7V5 and MMSZ4685, DDZ9693T-7 offers the smallest footprint and lowest leakage-critical for miniaturized battery-powered systems-while trading off absolute power handling for superior thermal efficiency per unit area.

FAQ
What is the maximum zener test current for DDZ9693T-7?
The datasheet specifies a zener test current (IZT) of 50 µA. This current establishes the nominal 7.5 V measurement point under thermal equilibrium at 30°C. Operation at higher currents is permitted up to the 150 mW power limit, but voltage regulation shifts slightly due to dynamic impedance and self-heating effects.
Does DDZ9693T-7 have a specified zener impedance?
Yes-Figure 11 shows typical zener impedance for DDZ9693T–DDZ9699T ranging from ~500 Ω at 0.1 mA to ~150 Ω at 1 mA. At the 50 µA test condition, impedance is approximately 800 Ω, directly impacting regulation accuracy under varying load current.
Can DDZ9693T-7 be used in reverse-biased avalanche mode for ESD protection?
No-it is not characterized or rated for ESD protection. Its 150 mW power rating and lack of specified IPP or TLP parameters make it unsuitable for transient suppression. Dedicated TVS diodes like DZ23C7V5 or PESD5V0S1BA should be used instead.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes-the matte tin annealed terminals meet J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity and are qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 30 sec max). Diodes Incorporated confirms compatibility with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D profile G.
