Product details
Overview
DDZX13B-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 13.0 V nominal zener voltage (12.55–13.21 V range), 10 mA test current, 14 Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT, and 300 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB. It delivers tight voltage tolerance and low leakage (0.1 μA @ 10.0 V) for voltage reference and regulation in automotive-grade power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZX13B-7 datasheet, DDZX13B-7 pinout, DDZX13B-7 application, or DDZX13B-7 equivalent, this part is selected for stable low-power voltage clamping, precision biasing in sensor signal chains, and overvoltage protection in automotive body control modules where AEC-Q101 reliability and sharp breakdown characteristics are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with tightly controlled VZ tolerance (±2.0% typical at 13 V) and low dynamic impedance (14 Ω @ 10 mA), enabling accurate voltage referencing under varying load conditions. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 417 °C/W) and derating curve support operation up to +150 °C ambient.
The device features ultra-low reverse leakage (0.1 μA @ 10.0 V), sharp knee characteristics, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards-making it suitable for automotive applications requiring high reliability and long-term stability without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C13 | Wider VZ tolerance (±5%), higher ZZT (30 Ω), not AEC-Q101 qualified | Suitable for consumer-grade power supplies but lacks automotive reliability validation | Select when cost is primary constraint and AEC-Q101 compliance is not required |
| MMSZ4687 | VZ = 13.0 V ±5%, ZZT = 30 Ω, RθJA = 500 °C/W, same SOT23 package | Higher thermal resistance limits power handling in compact layouts; no automotive qualification | Prefer only for non-automotive industrial applications with relaxed thermal margins |
Compared with BZX84-C13 and MMSZ4687, DDZX13B-7 provides tighter voltage control, lower dynamic impedance, and verified AEC-Q101 reliability-making it the preferred choice for automotive and high-stability industrial references where long-term drift and transient immunity matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation for DDZX13B-7 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The DDZX13B-7 is rated for 300 mW power dissipation when mounted on an FR-4 PCB using Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout. This rating assumes natural convection cooling and drops linearly above +25 °C ambient per the published derating curve (417 °C/W thermal resistance).
Is DDZX13B-7 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-DDZX13B-7 is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including temperature cycling, high-acceleration stress testing, and humidity exposure. It is explicitly designed for automotive body electronics, infotainment power rails, and sensor interfaces requiring long-term stability and zero-defect reliability.
How does the zener impedance affect circuit performance?
With a maximum ZZT of 14 Ω at 10 mA, DDZX13B-7 maintains minimal voltage deviation (<140 mV) under ±10 mA load changes-critical for precision biasing in op-amp feedback networks and ADC reference buffers where regulation error must stay below 1%.
What is the polarity marking for DDZX13B-7 in SOT23 package?
The cathode is marked by a band on the top surface of the SOT23 package, aligned with Pin 2. Pin 1 is anode, Pin 2 is cathode, and Pin 3 is internally connected to the cathode-confirmed by Diodes Incorporated's top-view schematic and mechanical drawings in DS30408 Rev. 13-2.
