Product details
Overview
DDZ9716-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount low-current Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 39 V (min 37.05 V, max 40.95 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, battery-operated circuits such as portable sensor nodes and wearables.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9716-7 datasheet, DDZ9716-7 pinout, DDZ9716-7 application, or DDZ9716-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 39 V zener tolerance (±5%), ultra-low reverse leakage (≤0.05 µA @ 29.6 V), temperature coefficient (~+0.08 %/°C), and SOD123 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation under low bias conditions. Its 50 µA test current enables accurate characterization in micro-power systems where traditional 5–20 mA zener test currents are impractical.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +0.08 %/°C near 39 V, indicating voltage increases with junction temperature - a critical factor when designing thermal-stable references across -65°C to +150°C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nom) | 39 V - precise clamping/reference point for 3.3 V or 5 V rail monitoring circuits |
| Zener Voltage Range | 37.05 V to 40.95 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable trip points in protection designs |
| Test Current (IZT) | 50 µA - enables use in nanoamp-bias circuits without loading sensitive sources |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA @ 29.6 V - negligible current draw preserves battery life in always-on applications |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TL = +75°C - supports moderate transient energy absorption on standard FR-4 layouts |

Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Low-Power Sensor Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring Li-ion cell voltage in wearable health trackers with 3.3 V MCU and coin-cell supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener provides stable 39 V reference for resistive divider scaling cell voltage into ADC input range. Use Value: 50 µA test current avoids draining µA-level sleep current; ±5% tolerance ensures accurate SOC estimation within 2% error. |

Use Value: Tight 37.05–40.95 V range ensures consistent trip point across temperature; cathode-band polarity simplifies layout verification. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C39LT1G | Same 39 V nominal, but rated at 300 mW and tested at 5 mA - higher leakage (1 µA @ 30.4 V) and wider tolerance (±5% vs ±5%, but tighter min/max spread) | Less suitable for sub-µA bias circuits; better for higher-current regulator feedback paths | Select when board space allows SO-23 and thermal design accommodates lower power rating |
| MMSZ5241B-7-F | 39 V nominal, 500 mW rating, but specified at 20 mA test current and higher leakage (1 µA @ 29.6 V); SOD-123 same footprint | Higher bias requirement limits use in nanoamp systems; slightly inferior tempco stability | Prefer when legacy BOM alignment with Microchip portfolio is required and leakage budget permits |
Compared with BZX84-C39LT1G and MMSZ5241B-7-F, DDZ9716-7 uniquely delivers 50 µA test current capability and 0.05 µA leakage - making it the only option among the three viable for true ultra-low-power voltage supervision and battery monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for DDZ9716-7?
The DDZ9716-7 begins controlled zener breakdown at its nominal voltage of 39 V, with guaranteed operation between 37.05 V (minimum) and 40.95 V (maximum) at 50 µA test current. It is not rated for continuous operation above 40.95 V in reverse bias without exceeding power or thermal limits.
Can DDZ9716-7 be used in automotive applications?
Yes - the automotive-grade variant DDZ9716Q-7 is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities. The standard DDZ9716-7 is not automotive-qualified and should not be deployed in safety-critical vehicle systems.
How does the 50 µA test current affect circuit design?
The 50 µA test current means the diode achieves its specified zener voltage with minimal bias - enabling direct use in high-impedance divider networks or with nanoamp-level current sources. This eliminates the need for additional bias resistors that would otherwise load sensitive analog nodes or drain battery capacity.
Is the SOD123 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOD123 package has J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions and processed using standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C) without pre-baking, supporting high-throughput automated assembly.
