Product details
Overview
DDZX43-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 43 V (min 42.14 V, max 43.86 V), 5 mA test current, 90 Ω zener impedance at 1 kHz, 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 33 V, and 300 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB. It is used for voltage regulation and reference in automotive-grade power supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZX43-13 datasheet, DDZX43-13 pinout, DDZX43-13 application, or DDZX43-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include tight VZ tolerance (±2%), low temperature coefficient (≈+0.09%/°C per Fig. 19), AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT23 package compatibility, and stable regulation under low-current bias conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference, relying on controlled avalanche breakdown in silicon to maintain stable reverse-biased voltage across its terminals. Its sharp knee characteristic enables accurate regulation even at low currents (IZK = 0.5 mA) and low power levels.
The SOT23 package supports automated assembly and delivers thermal resistance of 417 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on FR-4), enabling reliable operation up to +150 °C junction temperature. Its halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction complies with RoHS 2 and AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 42.14–43.86 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 90 Ω at f = 1 kHz - determines AC ripple rejection and load regulation stability |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 μA at VR = 33 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum continuous DC or pulsed power handling without derating |
| Operating Temperature | −65 to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| Temperature Coefficient | ≈+0.09 %/°C near 43 V (Fig. 19) - quantifies drift over temperature for precision reference design |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount, 3-terminal 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 in shunt regulator configuration |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input via series resistor and supplies stable reference voltage to feedback or sensing circuitry |
| No-Connect (Pin 3) | Internal die attach flag / mechanical support | Not electrically connected; serves structural role in SOT23 leadframe; must remain unconnected in layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very tight VZ tolerance | ±2% (42.14–43.86 V) - reduces need for post-production calibration in voltage reference designs |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Qualified for automotive applications - meets stress tests for temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per AEC standard |
| Low leakage current | 0.05 μA @ 33 V - minimizes error in high-resistance divider networks and battery-monitoring circuits |
| Sharp breakdown knee | Defined ZZK = 480 Ω @ IZK = 1 mA - enables stable regulation down to sub-mA bias currents |
| Lead-free & Green construction | <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - satisfies global environmental compliance without performance trade-offs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DDZX43-13 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The DDZX43-13 is rated for 300 mW continuous power dissipation when mounted on an FR-4 printed circuit board using the recommended pad layout. This rating assumes ambient temperature of +25°C and drops linearly above +25°C per the derating curve in Figure 1, reaching zero at +150°C ambient.
Is DDZX43-13 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-DDZX43-13 is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing. It is explicitly designed for automotive power rail monitoring and control systems requiring high reliability under extended temperature and vibration stress.
How does the zener impedance of DDZX43-13 affect its performance in a reference circuit?
With ZZT = 90 Ω at 1 kHz, DDZX43-13 exhibits low dynamic impedance, minimizing output voltage variation due to load or supply ripple. This enables stable reference behavior in feedback networks where series resistance or DAC output impedance could otherwise cause gain error or noise coupling.
What is the polarity marking convention for the SOT23 package of DDZX43-13?
The DDZX43-13 uses standard SOT23 pinout: Pin 1 (anode) is marked by a beveled corner or notch on the package top view; Pin 2 (cathode) is adjacent and carries the zener voltage; Pin 3 is internally unconnected. Polarity is confirmed in the "Top View Device Schematic" on page 2 of DS30408 Rev. 13-2.
