Product details
Overview
DZ23C9V1-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual common-cathode 300mW surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 9.1V (8.5–9.6V range), max zener impedance 10Ω at 5mA, and positive temperature coefficient +0.065%/°C; used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the DZ23C9V1-7 datasheet, DZ23C9V1-7 pinout, DZ23C9V1-7 application, or DZ23C9V1-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include matched dual-zener tracking (≤5% ΔVZ), SOT23 package compatibility with automated assembly, and thermal resistance of 417°C/W on FR4 board.
Technical Context
This dual Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with two anodes sharing one cathode terminal, enabling independent voltage regulation paths within a single SOT23 footprint. Its matched VZ tolerance ensures consistent clamping across both diodes under identical bias conditions.
The device exhibits a +0.065%/°C temperature coefficient and maintains stable regulation down to 7.0V minimum reverse voltage at IR = 0.1µA, supporting low-leakage sensing and reference applications where thermal drift must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 9.1V nominal (8.5–9.6V range); defines precise clamping threshold for feedback or protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 300mW; limits continuous current to ~33mA at 9.1V without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance | 10Ω max at IZT = 5mA; ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.065%/°C; enables predictable VZ drift compensation in temperature-sensitive designs |
| Reverse Leakage | <0.1µA at 7.0V; supports ultra-low-power standby and battery-backed reference applications |
| Thermal Resistance | 417°C/W junction-to-ambient; requires careful PCB copper area planning for sustained power operation |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic case with matte tin-plated alloy 42 lead frame, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Anode 2 (Pin 3) | Second Zener anode | Independent reverse-biased input for second regulated path; enables dual-rail or redundancy schemes |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX79-C9V1 (Nexperia) | Single Zener, DO-35 package, 400mW, ±5% VZ tolerance, no dual configuration | Requires two devices and extra board space; lacks matched tracking | Select only when dual-channel operation is unnecessary and through-hole mounting is preferred |
| DZ23C9V1-Q-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Identical electrical specs; AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP-capable, manufactured in IATF 16949 facility | Mandatory for automotive production; supports change control and long-term supply assurance | Choose for OEM automotive programs requiring qualified components and documented traceability |
Compared with BZX79-C9V1, DZ23C9V1-7 saves 40% board area and guarantees ≤5% inter-diode VZ mismatch; versus DZ23C9V1-Q-7-F, it offers commercial-grade cost and availability but excludes automotive qualification documentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for DZ23C9V1-7 at 25°C ambient?
At 25°C ambient and with recommended FR4 pad layout, the maximum continuous Zener current is approximately 33mA, calculated from 300mW / 9.1V. Derating begins above 25°C per the 417°C/W thermal resistance curve, reaching zero dissipation at ~100°C ambient.
Can DZ23C9V1-7 be used as a single Zener by leaving one anode unconnected?
Yes - Anode 1 or Anode 2 may be left floating without affecting the other diode's regulation performance. However, the unused anode must be electrically isolated (not shorted or tied to any potential), as unintended biasing could alter leakage or breakdown behavior.
Does DZ23C9V1-7 meet AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements?
No - DZ23C9V1-7 is the commercial-grade variant. The automotive-qualified version is DZ23C9V1-Q-7-F, which undergoes full AEC-Q101 qualification including HTGB, TCT, and ESD testing, and is produced in IATF 16949-certified facilities.
How does the +0.065%/°C temperature coefficient impact accuracy over –40°C to +125°C?
Over that range, total VZ drift is approximately ±0.95%, calculated as 165°C × 0.065%/°C. This corresponds to ±0.086V shift around 9.1V nominal, making it suitable for non-critical references but not metrology-grade applications without external compensation.
