Product details
Overview
DDZX22D-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 22 V nominal zener voltage (21.52–22.63 V), 5 mA test current, 30 Ω zener impedance at 5 mA, and 300 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB. It delivers tight voltage tolerance and low leakage (0.05 µA at 17 V) for voltage reference and regulation in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the DDZX22D-7 datasheet, DDZX22D-7 pinout, DDZX22D-7 application, or DDZX22D-7 equivalent, this part is selected for stable low-power voltage clamping, precision biasing in analog front-ends, and overvoltage protection where ±2.5% VZ tolerance and AEC-Q101 qualification are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with sharp knee characteristics, enabling accurate voltage regulation at low currents (5 mA IZT). Its 30 Ω dynamic impedance at test current ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes.
Thermal resistance of 417 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, FR-4 PCB) and operating range of –65 to +150 °C support deployment in thermally constrained automotive ECUs and industrial sensors without derating below 85 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 21.52–22.63 V at 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 24 V rail monitoring |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 30 Ω at 5 mA - limits output voltage shift to ≤150 mV for ±5 mA load variation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW on FR-4 - supports continuous operation at 13.6 mA @ 22 V without heatsinking |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA at 17 V - ensures negligible current draw in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Operating Temperature | –65 to +150 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q101 |
| Package | SOT23 - enables automated placement and 0.008 g board weight for space-constrained modules |
Pinout & Package
DDZX22D-7 uses the standard SOT23 plastic package (3-terminal, anode-cathode-anode configuration). Pin 1 is anode, Pin 2 is cathode, Pin 3 is anode - consistent with Diodes Incorporated's SOT23 Zener marking convention and top-view schematic.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode) | Anode connection | Common anode node for dual-anode construction; tied to ground or low-side reference point |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Zener cathode | Primary voltage reference node; connects to regulated rail or feedback path |
| Pin 3 (Anode) | Anode connection | Redundant anode terminal; electrically identical to Pin 1 for mechanical stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very sharp breakdown | Enables clean voltage clamping with <100 mV knee region width at 1–10 mA |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control and body electronics |
| Halogen- and antimony-free | Meets EU "Green" requirements (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) for eco-compliant designs |
| Low moisture sensitivity | MSL Level 1 - no bake requirement before reflow, simplifying SMT line integration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C22-7 | 22 V ±5% tolerance, 625 mW PD, 55 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Higher power rating but looser VZ tolerance and higher impedance | Select when higher surge capability is needed and ±5% regulation is acceptable |
| MMSZ4686-7 | 22.1 V ±5%, 500 mW PD, 45 Ω ZZT at 5 mA, non-AEC-Q101 | Lacks automotive qualification and has wider VZ spread | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with BZX84-C22-7 and MMSZ4686-7, DDZX22D-7 provides tighter voltage tolerance (±2.5% vs. ±5%), lower dynamic impedance (30 Ω vs. ≥45 Ω), and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for automotive and high-precision analog reference use cases where stability and reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) that DDZX22D-7 can withstand before breakdown?
DDZX22D-7 begins controlled reverse breakdown at its specified zener voltage range of 21.52–22.63 V when tested at 5 mA. Below 17 V reverse bias, leakage remains ≤0.05 µA - confirming it holds off up to 17 V reliably without significant conduction. This 17 V value is the rated maximum reverse voltage (VR) per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
Is DDZX22D-7 suitable for use in high-frequency noise suppression?
No - DDZX22D-7 is not optimized for high-frequency noise suppression. Its typical total capacitance is ~2.5 pF at 22 V (inferred from Fig. 10 trend), and its zener impedance rises sharply above 1 kHz (see Fig. 13). It functions as a DC/low-frequency voltage reference or clamping device, not an RF bypass or EMI filter.
How does the SOT23 package affect thermal performance in compact PCB layouts?
Mounted on FR-4 with recommended pad layout, DDZX22D-7 achieves 417 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. In compact layouts with limited copper area, power must be limited to ≤150 mW above 85 °C ambient to avoid exceeding 150 °C junction temperature - verified by derating curve (Fig. 1).
Does DDZX22D-7 have polarity markings, and how is cathode identified?
Yes - DDZX22D-7 uses standard SOT23 polarity marking: a single bar or notch on the package top surface aligns with Pin 2 (cathode). The device schematic shows Pin 2 as cathode, and the top-view diagram confirms cathode identification via marking code "2K" adjacent to the cathode terminal.
