Product details
Overview
DDZ9707-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount low-current Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 20 V (min 19.0 V, max 21.0 V), rated power dissipation of 500 mW at TL = +75°C on FR-4 PCB, and specified test current of 50 µA - optimized for low-bias, battery-powered voltage reference and regulation in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9707-7 datasheet, DDZ9707-7 pinout, DDZ9707-7 application, or DDZ9707-7 equivalent, this device serves as a precision shunt voltage reference in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and analog sensor biasing where stable low-current operation and SOD123 footprint compatibility are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its 50 µA test current enables ultra-low quiescent current design, while its 15.2 V maximum reverse voltage rating at IR = 0.05 µA ensures tight leakage control in high-impedance bias networks.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +0.06 %/°C near 20 V (per Fig. 19), indicating positive drift with temperature - a key consideration when used in unbuffered references across industrial temperature ranges (-65°C to +150°C).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C20 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 20 V nominal, but rated at 300 mW and 5 mA IZT; higher leakage (5 µA @ 16 V) | Higher power and current suit higher-drive applications but increase quiescent loss in battery systems | Select if board space allows SO-323 and system requires higher surge energy absorption |
| MMSZ4684 (Vishay) | 20 V nominal, 500 mW, 50 µA IZT, but SOD-123 package with slightly different thermal resistance (RθJA = 300 °C/W) | Nearly identical electrical specs; minor thermal performance difference affects derating at elevated ambient | Drop-in replacement where tighter thermal margin is acceptable and Vishay sourcing is preferred |
Compared with BZX84-C20 and MMSZ4684, DDZ9707-7 offers the lowest leakage (0.05 µA) at its rated reverse voltage and matches MMSZ4684's power rating while maintaining Diodes Inc.'s AEC-Q101 qualified automotive-grade process control and traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage (VR) at which DDZ9707-7 maintains ≤0.05 µA leakage?
The datasheet specifies IR ≤ 0.05 µA at VR = 15.2 V (Electrical Characteristics table). This is not a breakdown voltage but a guaranteed leakage ceiling below the nominal 20 V zener point - critical for high-impedance bias networks where even femtoampere errors matter. Exceeding 15.2 V increases leakage exponentially per Fig. 3.
Can DDZ9707-7 be used in place of a 20 V Zener with 5 mA test current?
No - DDZ9707-7 is characterized at 50 µA, not 5 mA. Using it with 5 mA will cause excessive self-heating (ΔT ≈ 170°C rise at RθJA = 340 °C/W), shifting VZ and risking thermal runaway. It must be used with series resistance calculated for ~50 µA bias, e.g., 380 kΩ from 40 V supply.
Is DDZ9707-7 suitable for automotive applications?
The base DDZ9707-7 is standard-grade; however, the automotive-qualified variant DDZ9707Q-7 is AEC-Q101 certified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities. For automotive designs, DDZ9707Q-7 must be specified - it shares identical electrical specs but adds change control and extended reliability testing.
How does the SOD123 package affect thermal performance compared to DO-35 or SOD-323?
SOD123 offers 340 °C/W RθJA on FR-4 - significantly better than DO-35 (≈500 °C/W) but slightly worse than SOD-323 (≈280 °C/W). Its larger pad area improves solder joint reliability in automated assembly, while its 0.57 mm lead pitch ensures compatibility with standard pick-and-place nozzles - a balanced trade-off for cost-sensitive, medium-volume production.
