Product details
Overview
DZ23C22-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a dual common-cathode 300mW surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 22V (20.8–23.3V range), ±5% matching between diodes, and 55Ω maximum zener impedance at 5mA. It operates from −65°C to +150°C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops and analog sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DZ23C22-7-F datasheet, DZ23C22-7-F pinout, DZ23C22-7-F application, or DZ23C22-7-F equivalent, key selection factors include matched dual-zener tolerance, SOT23 thermal resistance (417°C/W), temperature coefficient (+0.09%/°C), reverse leakage (<0.1µA at 17V), and JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial control and instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
This dual-Zener device integrates two independent zener elements sharing a common cathode terminal in a single SOT23 package. Its matched voltage tolerance (≤5% ΔVZ) enables differential reference generation and rail-to-rail clamping without external trimming.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.09%/°C above 10V and maintains stable regulation under 5mA test current, with low dynamic impedance (55Ω) ensuring minimal output variation across load transients in feedback networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage Range | 20.8V to 23.3V at IZT = 5mA - defines usable regulation window for 22V nominal reference |
| Max Zener Impedance | 55Ω at IZT = 5mA - ensures <±110mV output shift under ±5mA load change |
| Power Dissipation | 300mW - supports continuous operation up to 13.6mA at 22V in FR4 layout with recommended pads |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.09%/°C - predicts +19.8mV/°C drift near 22V, critical for high-accuracy analog systems |
| Reverse Leakage | <0.1µA at VR = 17V - guarantees negligible current draw in standby mode of voltage monitor circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 417°C/W junction-to-ambient - requires thermal pad design to sustain full power at >85°C ambient |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX79-C22 (ON Semiconductor) | Single 22V Zener in DO-35; no dual configuration or matching spec | Requires two devices and external matching; higher board area and assembly cost | Only suitable when dual-channel integration is unnecessary and legacy through-hole assembly is retained |
| DZ23C24-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 24V nominal (22.8–25.6V), identical package and matching performance | Used where 24V rail regulation or higher clamp threshold is required | Select when system nominal voltage shifts to 24V; pin-compatible drop-in with identical layout and thermal behavior |
Compared with BZX79-C22 and DZ23C24-7-F, DZ23C22-7-F uniquely delivers matched dual-zener functionality in SOT23, enabling space-constrained differential references and bidirectional clamping unattainable with single-diode alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this device can handle at 22V?
At 22V and 25°C ambient, the device dissipates 300mW maximum. Using P = V × I, the absolute maximum continuous reverse current is 13.6mA. Derating applies above 25°C per Figure 1: at 85°C ambient, max current drops to ~9.2mA to stay within thermal limits on standard FR4.
Can Pin 1 and Pin 3 be used simultaneously for independent regulation paths?
Yes - Pin 1 and Pin 3 serve as independent anodes tied to the common cathode (Pin 2). Each can regulate separate 22V rails, provided total power dissipation remains ≤300mW and thermal design accommodates combined heat generation.
Is DZ23C22-7-F qualified for automotive applications?
No - DZ23C22-7-F is commercial-grade. For automotive use, Diodes offers the Q-suffix variant DZ23C22Q-7-F, which is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP-capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities.
How does the +0.09%/°C temperature coefficient affect long-term stability in a 0–70°C operating range?
Over 70°C span, the coefficient causes ~6.3mV/°C × 70°C = ±441mV total drift from nominal 22V - i.e., regulation shifts from ~21.56V to ~22.44V. This must be factored into reference accuracy budgets for high-precision ADC or DAC biasing.
