Product details
Overview
DDZ9704-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount low-current Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 17 V (min 16.15 V, max 17.85 V), rated for 500 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB at TL = +75°C, specified at 50 µA test current, and housed in an SOD123 package. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable and battery-operated circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9704-7 datasheet, DDZ9704-7 pinout, DDZ9704-7 application, or DDZ9704-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 17 V zener voltage tolerance, 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 12.9 V, temperature coefficient behavior near zero crossing (~0.02 %/°C per Fig. 18), and SOD123 mechanical compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating element relying on controlled reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its low 50 µA test current enables stable regulation in micro-power bias networks where quiescent current must remain below 100 µA.
The SOD123 package delivers thermal resistance of 150 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and 340 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), supporting operation from –65 °C to +150 °C. Its cathode band marking and matte tin–annealed terminals ensure unambiguous polarity identification and reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 17 V nominal, 16.15–17.85 V range at IZT = 50 µA - defines stable clamping point for low-current reference nodes. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR-4 at TL = +75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling in standard PCB layout. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 12.9 V - ensures minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance bias chains. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - supports use as low-drop rectifier or ESD protection path in dual-role designs. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 150 °C/W - enables predictable junction temperature rise when lead-mounted heat sinking is applied. |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - validated for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which DDZ9704-7 guarantees ≤0.05 µA leakage?
DDZ9704-7 guarantees ≤0.05 µA reverse leakage current at VR = 12.9 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is derived from the 75% rule for zeners above 12 V and is measured under standard conditions (TA = +25°C, short pulse test to avoid self-heating).
Can DDZ9704-7 be used in automotive applications?
Yes - the automotive-grade variant DDZ9704Q-7 is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities. The standard DDZ9704-7 is not automotive-qualified but shares identical electrical and thermal specifications; only the Q-suffix version meets full automotive change control and traceability requirements.
How does the temperature coefficient behave near 17 V?
Per Figure 18 in DS30410 Rev. 17-2, the temperature coefficient of DDZ9704-7 is approximately +0.02 %/°C at 17 V - indicating very low drift and near-zero TC crossing between 16 V and 18 V, making it suitable for stable reference applications across –40 °C to +125 °C ambient ranges.
Is the SOD123 package compatible with reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes - DDZ9704-7's matte tin–annealed terminals meet J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 and are qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 20–40 sec). No pre-bake is required, and the UL 94V-0 mold compound withstands repeated thermal cycling without delamination.
