Product details
Overview
DDZ9712Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount, low-current Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C on FR-4 PCB, with nominal zener voltage of 28 V (min 26.6 V, max 29.4 V) at IZT = 50 µA, and reverse leakage current ≤0.05 µA at VR = 21.2 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in battery-powered sensor nodes and automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9712Q-7 datasheet, DDZ9712Q-7 pinout, DDZ9712Q-7 application, or DDZ9712Q-7 equivalent, this part is selected for low-bias, high-stability voltage regulation where thermal drift, leakage, and AEC-Q101 qualification are critical - especially in automotive infotainment power rails and industrial IoT edge sensors requiring long-term calibration stability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage tolerance (±3.5% at 28 V), specified at ultra-low test current (50 µA), minimizing quiescent power draw. Its temperature coefficient is +0.08 %/°C (typical), optimized for stable regulation across –65°C to +150°C operating range.
The device uses alloy 42 leadframe with matte tin annealed terminals, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208, and features cathode band polarity marking. It is qualified to AEC-Q101, manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities, and rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nom) | 28 V - precise regulation point at 50 µA test current, ±3.5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping in low-power bias networks. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW - maximum steady-state power on FR-4 PCB with 1-inch² pad at TL = +75°C; derates linearly above 75°C ambient. |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤0.05 µA @ 21.2 V - enables microamp-level standby current in always-on circuits without compromising regulation accuracy. |
| Thermal Resistance (J–L) | 150 °C/W - low junction-to-lead resistance supports reliable operation under transient thermal loads in compact automotive PCB layouts. |
| Operating Temp Range | –65°C to +150°C - validated for under-hood and engine-control applications meeting AEC-Q101 stress requirements. |
| Package | SOD123 - industry-standard 2-pin surface-mount outline (1.55 mm × 2.65 mm × 1.05 mm), compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow. |
Pinout & Package
DDZ9712Q-7 is housed in a 2-terminal SOD123 plastic package with cathode band marking. The case is molded UL 94V-0 plastic; terminals are matte tin annealed over Alloy 42 leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms reference return path during reverse-bias regulation. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to voltage source or signal line being clamped; delivers stable 28 V reference when reverse-biased above breakdown threshold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use with PPAP capability and change control - required for body electronics and ADAS power management. |
| Low test current (50 µA) | Enables direct integration into micropower sensor biasing circuits without loading the source, ideal for coin-cell or energy-harvesting systems. |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Meets <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl (<1500 ppm total Br+Cl), <1000 ppm Sb - compliant with global environmental directives including RoHS 3. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No floor life limitation or baking requirement before assembly - simplifies manufacturing logistics and reduces handling overhead. |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which DDZ9712Q-7 guarantees ≤0.05 µA leakage?
DDZ9712Q-7 guarantees reverse leakage current ≤0.05 µA at VR = 21.2 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value corresponds to 75.7% of its nominal zener voltage (28 V), ensuring robust margin against unintended conduction in bias networks operating near but below breakdown.
Is DDZ9712Q-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - DDZ9712Q-7 uses matte tin annealed terminals over Alloy 42 leadframe and is rated for standard lead-free reflow (JEDEC J-STD-020). Its moisture sensitivity level is 1, so no pre-bake is required prior to assembly, supporting high-yield, high-throughput SMT processes.
How does the temperature coefficient of DDZ9712Q-7 compare to lower-voltage Zeners in the same family?
DDZ9712Q-7 exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +0.08 %/°C (Fig. 19), consistent with other 27–30 V parts in the DDZ97xx series. This is higher than 5–12 V Zeners (e.g., DDZ9690: +0.02 %/°C) but remains within designable limits for applications where 28 V regulation dominates thermal drift budget.
Can DDZ9712Q-7 be used as a substitute for a 27 V Zener like DDZ9711Q-7?
No - DDZ9712Q-7 has a nominal zener voltage of 28 V (26.6–29.4 V range), while DDZ9711Q-7 is 27 V (25.65–28.35 V). Their 1 V difference affects regulation accuracy and thermal drift behavior; substitution requires circuit-level validation of voltage margin, power dissipation, and leakage impact on downstream biasing.
