Product details
Overview
DDZX33-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 33 V nominal zener voltage (32.14–33.79 V at 5 mA), 300 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB, and 75 Ω zener impedance at test current - used for voltage regulation and reference in automotive and industrial power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the DDZX33-13 datasheet, DDZX33-13 pinout, DDZX33-13 application, or DDZX33-13 equivalent, this part is selected for stable low-leakage (<0.05 µA at 27 V), tight-tolerance (±2.5% VZ) voltage reference in space-constrained, AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring sharp breakdown and low thermal drift.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with precisely controlled reverse-breakdown behavior. Its 33 V nominal zener voltage is specified at IZT = 5 mA, with maximum zener impedance of 75 Ω at that current and 250 Ω at knee current (IZK = 0.5 mA), ensuring predictable regulation across load transients.
Designed for high-reliability environments, it meets AEC-Q101 stress-test requirements and features <0.05 µA reverse leakage at 27 V, low temperature coefficient (≈+0.08 %/°C near 33 V), and halogen/antimony-free "Green" construction compliant with RoHS 2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 32.14–33.79 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum continuous power handling without derating below +25°C ambient |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 75 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 27 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 417 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt, critical for thermal design on standard PCBs |
| Operating Temperature | −65 to +150 °C - supports extended-range operation in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic case with matte tin-annealed terminals, moisture sensitivity level 1, weight ≈0.008 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal / cathode reference ground | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node when used in shunt regulation |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Provides stable 33 V reference relative to anode; carries full zener current in regulation mode |
| NC / Heat Sink (Pin 3) | Non-connected leadframe tab | Not electrically connected; serves mechanical anchoring and minor thermal conduction path in SOT23 layout |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C33 (ON Semiconductor) | Same SOT23 package; wider VZ tolerance (±5%), higher ZZT (100 Ω), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to commercial-grade consumer or non-safety-critical industrial use | Select when cost is primary constraint and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| MMSZ5257ET1G (onsemi) | 33 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 100 Ω ZZT, 500 mW PD, but only qualified to JESD22 standards (not AEC-Q101) | Suitable for general-purpose regulation where thermal margin >300 mW is required | Choose if higher power headroom is needed and automotive reliability is not mandated |
Compared with BZX84-C33 and MMSZ5257ET1G, DDZX33-13 delivers tighter voltage tolerance, lower dynamic impedance, and certified AEC-Q101 reliability - making it the preferred choice for automotive and mission-critical industrial voltage reference applications where long-term stability and stress resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DDZX33-13 on standard FR-4 PCB?
The DDZX33-13 is rated for 300 mW power dissipation when mounted on FR-4 PCB using Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout. Derating begins above +25°C ambient, following the curve in Figure 1 of DS30408 Rev. 13–2, reaching zero dissipation at +150°C.
Does DDZX33-13 have automotive qualification?
Yes - DDZX33-13 is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for high-reliability automotive applications. It undergoes stress testing including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing per the AEC specification.
What is the zener voltage tolerance and test condition for DDZX33-13?
The zener voltage is guaranteed between 32.14 V and 33.79 V (±2.5%) when measured at IZT = 5 mA, TA = +25°C, with pulse duration <40 ms to minimize self-heating effects, per Note 8 in the datasheet.
How does the temperature coefficient behave near 33 V nominal zener voltage?
Per Figure 19 of DS30408 Rev. 13–2, the temperature coefficient of VZ for DDZX33-13 is approximately +0.08 %/°C, indicating a positive, linear drift with rising temperature - typical for Zeners in the 30–40 V range and enabling predictable compensation in reference designs.
