Product details
Overview
DDZ9697T-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 10 V (9.50–10.50 V range), 150 mW power dissipation, and ultra-low reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 7.6 V. Packaged in SOD523, it delivers sharp breakdown characteristics and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained DC-DC feedback loops and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9697T-7 datasheet, DDZ9697T-7 pinout, DDZ9697T-7 application, or DDZ9697T-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (833 °C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, low leakage performance at VR = 7.6 V, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 boards.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 10 V nominal rating targets mid-range voltage regulation where temperature coefficient is minimized - Fig. 16 shows TCZ ≈ +0.02 %/°C near 10 V, enabling stable performance across –65°C to +150°C.
The device uses an alloy-42 leadframe with matte tin annealed finish, rated for solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208. Its SOD523 package (0.85 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.65 mm) supports high-density layouts while maintaining 833 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-4 PCBs.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C10L-7-F | Same 10 V nominal, but SOD-323 package (larger footprint, 170 mW rating) | Higher power margin allows higher IZ in high-current references; less suitable for 0402-limited layouts | Select when thermal headroom >150 mW is required and board area permits 1.7 mm × 1.3 mm footprint |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | 10 V nominal, SOD-123 package (3.5 mm × 1.8 mm), 500 mW rating, ±5% tolerance | Designed for higher-power industrial supplies; incompatible with fine-pitch automated placement | Choose only for through-hole or hand-soldered prototypes where thermal robustness outweighs size constraints |
Compared with BZX584C10L-7-F and MMSZ5240B-TP, DDZ9697T-7 uniquely balances ultra-small SOD523 size, 0.1 µA leakage, and automotive-grade temperature range - making it optimal for miniaturized, low-power, high-reliability voltage referencing where board space is constrained below 1 mm².

FAQ
What is the maximum zener test current (IZT) for DDZ9697T-7?
The datasheet specifies IZT = 50 µA for DDZ9697T-7. This is the standardized test current used to measure nominal zener voltage (10 V) under thermal equilibrium at 30°C. Operation above this current is permitted up to 15 mA (limited by 150 mW power dissipation), but voltage regulation accuracy degrades outside the 1–10 mA typical operating range shown in Fig. 3.
Does DDZ9697T-7 have a specified zener impedance (ZZT)?
Yes - Fig. 11 shows typical zener impedance for the 7–12 V group (including DDZ9697T-7) ranging from ~150 Ω at 1 mA to ~30 Ω at 10 mA. At IZ = 50 µA (IZT), ZZT is approximately 450 Ω. This value directly impacts regulation stability under dynamic load changes in feedback applications.
Can DDZ9697T-7 be used in place of a 1N4740A?
No - the 1N4740A is a 10 V, 1 W through-hole Zener in DO-41 package. DDZ9697T-7 is a 10 V, 150 mW surface-mount device with different thermal behavior, leakage (0.1 µA vs. 5 µA), and package geometry. Substitution requires redesign of PCB layout, power derating, and validation of transient response due to higher impedance and lower power handling.
Is the cathode band orientation consistent across all DDZ96xxT-7 devices?
Yes - all devices in the DDZ9689T–DDZ9717T family use identical SOD523 packaging with cathode identified by a single black band at one end of the rectangular body. Top-view marking "HQ" (for DDZ9697T) appears adjacent to the cathode band, confirming polarity alignment per Diodes' package outline drawing SOD523.
