Product details
Overview
DDZX14-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 14.0 V nominal zener voltage (13.65–14.35 V range), 10 mA test current, 16 Ω zener impedance at IZT, and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 11.0 V. It delivers stable voltage reference in low-power analog monitoring circuits with AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the DDZX14-7 datasheet, DDZX14-7 pinout, DDZX14-7 application, or DDZX14-7 equivalent, this part is selected for precision biasing, overvoltage clamping, and reference generation where tight VZ tolerance (±2.5%), low dynamic impedance, and thermal stability across –65°C to +150°C are required.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with sharp knee characteristics, enabling accurate regulation under low-current conditions (IZK = 0.5 mA). Its 300 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB and 417°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance define its derating envelope up to +125°C ambient.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +0.08%/°C near 14 V (per Fig. 18), and total capacitance is <2.5 pF at VR = 1 V (inferred from Fig. 10 trend), supporting high-frequency noise suppression in signal conditioning paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13.65–14.35 V @ IZT = 10 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 12 V rail protection |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω @ IZT = 10 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 μA @ VR = 11.0 V - enables ultra-low standby current in battery-backed circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW on FR-4 PCB - supports continuous operation without heatsinking in compact layouts |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - meets stress-test requirements for automotive electronics reliability and lifetime validation |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - 3-terminal plastic surface-mount package with matte tin annealed terminals, UL 94V-0 rating, and 0.008 g weight. Moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal / cathode reference ground | Connected to system ground when used as shunt regulator; defines polarity for correct biasing |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input rail via series resistor; supplies stable reference voltage to downstream circuitry |
| No Connect (Pin 3) | Internal die attach pad - not electrically connected | Thermally conductive but isolated; must be left floating or tied to ground only for thermal relief (not electrical function) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very tight VZ tolerance | ±2.5% (13.65–14.35 V) - reduces calibration overhead in factory-trimmed sensor interfaces |
| Low zener impedance | 16 Ω @ 10 mA - maintains regulation accuracy during 1–5 mA load variations in feedback networks |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Qualified for automotive applications - eliminates need for additional reliability screening in Tier-1 BOMs |
| Halogen- and antimony-free | <900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - satisfies strict environmental compliance for EU and China RoHS markets |
| Automated assembly compatible | SOT23 footprint with J-STD-020-compliant terminations - supports high-yield pick-and-place and reflow |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C13-7 | VZ = 12.0–14.0 V (±5%), ZZT = 30 Ω @ 5 mA, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lower cost general-purpose replacement; lacks automotive reliability validation | Select only for non-automotive consumer or industrial prototypes where qualification is not mandated |
| MMSZ4688T1G | VZ = 13.0–14.0 V (±5%), ZZT = 25 Ω @ 1 mA, 500 mW rating on FR-4 | Higher power margin but looser tolerance and higher leakage (0.1 μA @ 11 V) | Prefer when thermal headroom is critical and ±5% VZ is acceptable in production calibration |
Compared with BZX84-C13-7 and MMSZ4688T1G, DDZX14-7 provides tighter voltage tolerance, lower dynamic impedance, and automotive-grade reliability-making it optimal for safety-critical or production-binned systems where reference stability directly impacts measurement integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DDZX14-7 on standard FR-4 PCB?
DDZX14-7 is rated for 300 mW continuous power dissipation when mounted on FR-4 PCB using Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout. Derating begins linearly above +25°C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at +125°C (per Fig. 1). Exceeding this limit risks thermal runaway and parametric shift.
Does DDZX14-7 have a specified zener impedance at low test currents like 1 mA?
No-datasheet specifies ZZT = 16 Ω only at IZT = 10 mA and ZZK = 110 Ω at IZK = 0.5 mA. Impedance rises sharply below 1 mA; typical curves (Figs. 5, 12) show >200 Ω at 100 μA, making it unsuitable for sub-mA reference applications.
Can DDZX14-7 replace DDZX13B-7 in an existing design?
DDZX14-7 has a higher nominal VZ (14.0 V vs. 13.0 V) and tighter tolerance (±2.5% vs. ±3.0%), but identical SOT23 package and thermal specs. Substitution requires verifying that 1.0 V higher clamping threshold does not violate downstream overvoltage limits or bias point stability.
Is there an automotive-qualified version of DDZX14-7 with extended temperature screening?
No-the DDZX14-7 itself is AEC-Q101 qualified per DS30408 Rev. 13–2. Diodes does not list a separate "Q" suffix variant for this voltage grade; the base part meets full automotive stress testing including HTOL, TC, and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev. D.
