Product details
Overview
DDZ9703S-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 16 V, ±3.1% tolerance (15.2–16.8 V), 50 μA test current, and 0.05 μA maximum reverse leakage at 12.1 V. It delivers sharp breakdown characteristics and low thermal resistance (625 °C/W) in SOD-323 package, used for voltage regulation and reference in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9703S-7 datasheet, DDZ9703S-7 pinout, DDZ9703S-7 application, or DDZ9703S-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, temperature coefficient (≈+0.07 %/°C per Fig. 18), low leakage, SOD-323 footprint compatibility, and RoHS-compliant "Green" construction for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference, maintaining stable reverse-biased conduction above its specified Zener voltage. Its sharp breakdown and tight 3.1% VZ tolerance enable accurate regulation in low-power analog circuits and feedback networks.
Designed for thermal stability, it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (~+0.07 %/°C) typical for 16 V Zeners (per Fig. 18), and derates linearly to zero power at 150 °C ambient when mounted on FR-4 with recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V nominal, 15.2–16.8 V range at IZT = 50 μA - ensures precise voltage clamping in reference designs |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 12.1 V - minimizes error current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at TA = 25 °C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with adequate copper area |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - defines junction-to-ambient rise per watt; requires thermal pad design per AP02001 |
| Package | SOD-323 - 2.3–2.7 mm length, 1.2–1.4 mm width, 0.25–0.35 mm thickness - compatible with 0805-class pick-and-place |
| Operating Temperature | −65 to +150 °C - suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
SOD-323 plastic surface-mount package with cathode band marking; terminals are anode and cathode, with cathode identified by molded band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; establishes reference potential for Zener conduction path |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Provides stable 16 V relative to anode when reverse biased above VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very sharp breakdown | Low dynamic impedance (<150 Ω at 1 mA, per Fig. 13) enables fast transient response in regulation |
| Tight VZ tolerance | ±3.1% (15.2–16.8 V) reduces need for post-production trimming in voltage reference circuits |
| Low leakage current | ≤0.05 μA at 12.1 V allows use in nanoampere-bias applications like precision comparators |
| RoHS & "Green" compliant | Lead-free matte tin finish and halogen-free molding compound meet IPC-1752 and JEDEC J-STD-020 |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Reference | Overvoltage Protection Clamp |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in isolated flyback converters using optocoupler feedback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode provides precise 16 V reference to TL431 shunt regulator input. Use Value: Tight 3.1% VZ tolerance directly improves overall output voltage accuracy to ±1.5% without calibration. |
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from ESD-induced transients on 15 V sensor lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamps voltage spikes above 16 V to prevent latch-up or gate oxide damage. Use Value: 0.05 μA leakage avoids loading high-impedance sensor outputs during normal operation. |
| Temperature-Stable Voltage Reference | Low-Power Battery Monitor Threshold |
|
Use Scenario: Generating stable bias for op-amp input stages in industrial instrumentation amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fixed 16 V reference with +0.07 %/°C TC, compensated via resistor network. Use Value: Sharp knee and low impedance (<200 Ω) minimize drift-induced offset errors across −40 to +85 °C. |
Use Scenario: Detecting end-of-charge condition in 12 V LiFePO4 battery packs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Triggers comparator when battery voltage exceeds 16 V threshold during charging. Use Value: SOD-323 footprint enables placement near battery connector with minimal trace inductance for fast response. |

FAQ
What is the Zener test current (IZT) for DDZ9703S-7?
The Zener test current is 50 μA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This current establishes the nominal 16 V Zener voltage measurement point under thermal equilibrium at 30 °C, and is the standard condition for verifying VZ tolerance and dynamic impedance.
Does DDZ9703S-7 have AEC-Q101 qualification?
No - DDZ9703S-7 is not listed among the AEC-Q101 qualified parts in the datasheet (only DDZ9705S carries that qualification). It meets industrial-grade reliability per JESD22-A108 but is not certified for automotive under-hood applications requiring AEC-Q101 stress testing.
What is the typical Zener impedance (ZZT) at 16 V?
Per Figure 13 (Typical Zener Impedance Characteristics, DDZ9699S–DDZ9705S), ZZT is approximately 120 Ω at 1 mA and ~150 Ω at 50 μA for 16 V devices. This low impedance ensures minimal voltage deviation under varying load currents in reference applications.
Can DDZ9703S-7 replace a 1N4745A in existing designs?
No - the 1N4745A is a 16 V, 1 W through-hole Zener in DO-41 package, while DDZ9703S-7 is a 200 mW SOD-323 surface-mount device. Differences in power rating, thermal behavior, and package size require PCB redesign and thermal validation before substitution.
