Product details
Overview
DDZ9708Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount, low-current, AEC-Q101 qualified Zener diode in SOD123 package, with nominal zener voltage 22 V (min 20.9 V, max 23.1 V), 50 µA test current, and 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C on FR-4 PCB. It delivers stable voltage reference in automotive body control modules and portable battery-powered sensor interfaces where low-bias operation and thermal reliability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9708Q-7 datasheet, DDZ9708Q-7 pinout, DDZ9708Q-7 application, or DDZ9708Q-7 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical characteristics, SOD123 terminal mapping, automotive-grade qualification status, and real-world design context for low-power voltage regulation and overvoltage protection circuits.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal, cathode-banded, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for precision low-current regulation. Its breakdown behavior is characterized at 50 µA test current, enabling accurate voltage clamping in micro-power standby modes and low-leakage bias networks.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 150 °C/W and RθJA = 340 °C/W on standard FR-4 layout, supporting operation from –65 °C to +150 °C ambient. The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of ~+0.07 %/°C near 22 V, confirmed in Fig. 18 of DS30410 Rev. 17–2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal, 20.9–23.1 V range at IZT = 50 µA - defines tight tolerance for reference stability in low-power analog monitoring. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TL = +75°C on FR-4 - supports continuous operation in thermally constrained automotive PCBs without forced cooling. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 16.7 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in battery-backed systems. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables predictable forward conduction for dual-purpose clamp/rectifier use cases. |
| Package | SOD123 - industry-standard 2-pin surface-mount outline (3.65 mm × 1.55 mm × 1.05 mm) compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow. |
| Qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities - meets automotive electronics reliability and traceability requirements. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123 package: molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), cathode band marking, matte tin annealed terminals over Alloy 42 leadframe, weight ≈ 0.01 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias; connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias regulation. | Provides low-resistance path for forward conduction; must be routed to ground or common return in shunt regulator topology. |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; connected to regulated voltage node in reverse-bias operation. | Terminal where zener breakdown occurs; marked with band; connects to supply rail needing voltage stabilization or overvoltage clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low test current (50 µA) | Enables stable regulation in µA-level bias networks - critical for coin-cell and energy-harvesting applications. |
| 500 mW power rating on FR-4 | Delivers usable headroom for transient surges without derating beyond +75°C board temperature - simplifies thermal design in dense layouts. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates robustness against temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD - required for under-hood and chassis-mounted ECUs. |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Meets automotive OEM environmental mandates (<900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) without compromising solderability or long-term reliability. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Portable Gas Sensor Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C22-7-F | Same 22 V nominal, but rated at 300 mW PD, higher IR (0.1 µA @ 17 V), SOT-23 package. | Limited to non-automotive consumer designs due to lack of AEC-Q101 qualification and lower power handling. | Select when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is not required. |
| MMSZ5248B-7-F | 22 V nominal, 500 mW rating, but specified at IZT = 20 mA - higher test current increases dynamic impedance and reduces low-current stability. | Less suitable for µA-bias circuits; better for higher-current shunt regulators where thermal mass stabilizes VZ. | Prefer for industrial power supplies with >1 mA bias current and no automotive compliance needs. |
Compared with BZX84-C22-7-F and MMSZ5248B-7-F, DDZ9708Q-7 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 50 µA test current, and 500 mW FR-4-rated dissipation - making it the only option validated for automotive low-power reference and clamp functions requiring both reliability and microampere-level leakage control.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which DDZ9708Q-7 guarantees ≤0.05 µA leakage?
Per DS30410 Rev. 17–2 Table "Electrical Characteristics", DDZ9708Q-7 guarantees IR ≤ 0.05 µA at VR = 16.7 V. This value is fixed per part number and reflects the voltage below which leakage remains within specification - critical for low-power standby design.
Is DDZ9708Q-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes. The device uses matte tin annealed terminals over Alloy 42 leadframe and is rated for soldering per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. Its SOD123 package supports standard JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and typical Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak.
Does the "Q" suffix indicate AEC-Q101 qualification for the entire tape-and-reel reel?
Yes. The "Q" in DDZ9708Q-7 denotes full AEC-Q101 qualification applied to every unit on the reel. Each lot undergoes stress testing per AEC-Q101 requirements, and PPAP documentation is available upon request for automotive customers.
Can DDZ9708Q-7 be used in place of a 1N4748A in an existing design?
No - direct substitution is not recommended. While both are 22 V Zeners, 1N4748A is through-hole, rated at 1 W, tested at 21 mA, and lacks AEC-Q101 qualification. DDZ9708Q-7's lower test current and SOD123 footprint require circuit recalibration and layout revision for thermal and bias compatibility.
