Product details
Overview
DDZ9709-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount low-current Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 24 V (min 22.8 V, max 25.2 V), rated for 500 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB at TL = +75°C, and specified at low test current of 50 µA - ideal for precision voltage reference and low-bias battery-powered circuits in portable instrumentation and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9709-7 datasheet, DDZ9709-7 pinout, DDZ9709-7 application, or DDZ9709-7 equivalent, this device serves as a stable, low-leakage (≤0.05 µA @ VR = 18.2 V) voltage clamp in power rail monitoring, overvoltage protection, and analog reference design where thermal stability and SOD123 footprint compatibility are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its 24 V nominal zener voltage exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +0.07 %/°C (per Fig. 14 & 19), indicating positive drift with rising junction temperature - a key consideration in ambient-varying applications.
The device uses a planar epitaxial construction in an SOD123 package with cathode band marking, optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering. Thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 150 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature when properly mounted on minimum recommended pad layout.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C24LT1G | Same 24 V nominal, but 300 mW rating and higher IR (0.1 µA @ 18.2 V); SOT-23 package | Higher power density but less thermal margin on FR-4; unsuitable for >75°C ambient without derating | Select when board space is constrained and thermal load is low; verify pad thermal relief matches SOT-23 layout |
| MMSZ5242BT1G | 24 V nominal, 500 mW rating, but 20 µA IZT and higher impedance (100 Ω typical); SOD-123 same | Higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation precision under varying load; requires larger bypass cap | Prefer for cost-sensitive non-precision applications; avoid in high-accuracy reference paths |
Compared with BZX84-C24LT1G and MMSZ5242BT1G, DDZ9709-7 delivers superior low-current regulation stability (50 µA IZT), tighter voltage tolerance (±5%), and verified thermal performance on FR-4 - making it optimal for precision, low-power, and thermally demanding designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for DDZ9709-7, and at what voltage is it measured?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 0.05 µA, measured at VR = 18.2 V (75% of nominal zener voltage). This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and confirmed in Figure 21 for ambient temperatures up to +125°C. It reflects minimal standby current draw critical for battery longevity.
Can DDZ9709-7 be used in automotive applications?
Yes - the automotive-grade variant DDZ9709Q-7 is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities. The standard DDZ9709-7 is not automotive-qualified but shares identical electrical and thermal specs; only the Q-suffix version meets automotive change control and traceability requirements.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for DDZ9709-7 on FR-4 PCB?
RθJA is 340 °C/W when mounted on FR-4 PCB with minimum recommended pad layout at TL = +75°C. This value assumes a 1-inch² copper pad and is derived from the Power Dissipation Derating curve (Figure 1). Actual RθJA will improve with enhanced copper area or thermal vias.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy across operating temperature?
DDZ9709-7 exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +0.07 %/°C (per Fig. 14 & 19), meaning its zener voltage increases ~16.8 mV/°C around 24 V. Over −40°C to +125°C, this results in ±1.1 V total drift - acceptable for non-critical clamping but requires compensation in precision reference designs.
