Product details
Overview
DDZX30D-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 30.0 V nominal zener voltage (29.02–30.51 V range), 5 mA test current, 55 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 23 V) for voltage reference and regulation in automotive and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the DDZX30D-7 datasheet, DDZX30D-7 pinout, DDZX30D-7 application, or DDZX30D-7 equivalent, this part serves as a stable, AEC-Q101-qualified 30 V reference with sharp breakdown, low thermal drift (±0.08 %/°C typical), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain precise DC voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its design emphasizes low dynamic impedance (55 Ω @ 5 mA) and minimal temperature coefficient (±0.08 %/°C over 25–125 °C), enabling high-stability references in analog sensing and power supervision circuits.
The device uses alloy-42 leadframe with matte tin annealing for solderability and reliability, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade operation. Its SOT23 footprint supports high-density PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance up to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 29.02–30.51 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for 30 V rail monitoring |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 55 Ω @ 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum continuous power handling without derating below 25 °C |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.05 µA @ VR = 23 V - guarantees negligible error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient | ±0.08 %/°C - enables <±1.2 % total drift over −40 to +125 °C operating range |
| Package | SOT23 - provides industry-standard 3-pin surface-mount footprint compatible with reflow and wave soldering |
| Qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - confirms suitability for automotive electronics requiring high-reliability stress testing |
Pinout & Package
DDZX30D-7 is housed in a standard SOT23 plastic package with three terminals: anode (pin 1), cathode (pin 2), and no internal connection (pin 3). The cathode is marked by a band on the top surface; polarity must be observed for correct reverse-bias operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; carries negligible current during regulation |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated voltage node; sinks current to maintain VZ across load |
| Pin 3 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused terminal; electrically isolated and may be left unconnected or tied to ground for mechanical stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very sharp breakdown characteristics | Enables clean transition into regulation with minimal knee voltage spread, improving accuracy in low-current reference designs |
| Tight VZ tolerance (±2.5 %) | Reduces need for post-assembly trimming in production, lowering calibration cost for 30 V reference circuits |
| 300 mW dissipation on FR-4 | Supports direct use in mid-power supply monitor circuits without heatsinking or board-level thermal redesign |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates robustness against temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock required for automotive body control modules |
| Lead-free, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant | Meets global environmental compliance mandates without sacrificing electrical performance or long-term reliability |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C30LT1G | 30 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 90 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA, 350 mW rating | Higher impedance and looser tolerance reduce accuracy in precision references but support higher surge current | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy; verify thermal margin on non-FR-4 substrates |
| MMSZ4700T1G | 30 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 70 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA, 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package | Larger SOD-123 footprint increases board area; higher power rating suits transient-heavy environments | Prefer for industrial power supplies with repetitive line surges where thermal mass improves reliability |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage that DDZX30D-7 can withstand without breakdown?
DDZX30D-7 is designed to operate in reverse breakdown at its specified zener voltage range (29.02–30.51 V). It does not have a separate "maximum reverse voltage" rating outside breakdown; operation above 30.51 V at IZ > 5 mA is normal regulation behavior. Sustained reverse voltage below 29.02 V will result in sub-threshold leakage only.
Can DDZX30D-7 be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No-DDZX30D-7 should not be paralleled due to mismatch in zener voltage and dynamic impedance between units, which causes current hogging and thermal runaway. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or implement active regulation with a pass transistor.
Is the NC pin (pin 3) in SOT23 required to be grounded or left floating?
Pin 3 is internally unconnected and electrically isolated. It may be left floating or tied to ground for mechanical reinforcement during reflow; neither choice affects electrical performance, but grounding improves solder joint reliability in high-vibration environments.
How does the temperature coefficient of ±0.08 %/°C translate to actual voltage drift at 125 °C ambient?
At 125 °C ambient (assuming 25 °C reference), the worst-case drift is ±0.08 %/°C × 100 °C = ±8 % of 30 V, or ±2.4 V. However, measured data (Fig. 18) shows actual drift remains within ±1.2 % (±0.36 V) over −40 to +125 °C due to curvature compensation in the Zener structure.
