Product details
Overview
DDZ9698T-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 11 V (min 10.45 V, max 11.55 V), 150 mW power dissipation, 833 °C/W thermal resistance, 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 8.4 V, and SOD523 package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power biasing and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9698T-7 datasheet, DDZ9698T-7 pinout, DDZ9698T-7 application, or DDZ9698T-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, low leakage at rated VR, sharp breakdown knee, thermal derating behavior, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or supply conditions. Its sharp breakdown characteristic and low dynamic impedance (<25 Ω at IZT = 5 mA) support high-accuracy voltage referencing.
The device is optimized for thermal stability with a temperature coefficient of approximately +0.04 %/°C near 11 V and is rated for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C. Its SOD523 package enables compact placement while maintaining adequate power handling for signal-level regulation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C11L | Same 11 V nominal, but SOD323 package (larger footprint, 200 mW rating) | Higher power handling suits higher-current biasing; less space-efficient | Select when >150 mW dissipation or legacy SOD323 board compatibility is required |
| MMSZ5240BT1G | 10 V nominal, SOD123 package, 500 mW rating, ±5% tolerance | Lower voltage and higher power-used where tighter regulation at 10 V is needed | Choose only if system requires 10 V reference and can accommodate larger 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm footprint |
Compared with BZX584C11L and MMSZ5240BT1G, DDZ9698T-7 offers the smallest footprint (SOD523), lowest leakage (0.05 µA), and best fit for ultra-compact, low-quiescent designs needing exact 11 V regulation without thermal derating penalties.

FAQ
What is the maximum zener test current (IZT) for DDZ9698T-7?
The datasheet specifies IZT = 5 mA for all devices in the DDZ9689T–DDZ9717T series, including DDZ9698T-7. At this current, the zener voltage is measured and guaranteed within the 10.45 V to 11.55 V range. Operation outside this current may shift VZ but remains within specified dynamic impedance limits.
Can DDZ9698T-7 be used in place of a 12 V Zener like DDZ9699T?
No-DDZ9698T-7 is rated for 11 V nominal (10.45–11.55 V), while DDZ9699T is 12 V (11.40–12.60 V). Substituting them alters regulation voltage by ~9%, potentially causing undervoltage lockout or overvoltage stress in sensitive circuits. Always match nominal VZ to circuit requirements.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-DDZ9698T-7 has Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020D and is qualified for standard lead-free reflow (peak 260 °C). Its matte tin annealed terminals meet MIL-STD-202 solderability requirements, and no pre-baking is required prior to assembly.
Does DDZ9698T-7 have a specified zener impedance (ZZT)?
While not explicitly tabulated for each part, Figure 11 shows typical zener impedance for DDZ9693T–DDZ9699T at 11 V is ~20–25 Ω at IZT = 5 mA. This value reflects AC impedance near the operating point and supports stable regulation in feedback or reference paths.
