Product details
Overview
M3Z3V3C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount 3.3 V ±5% Zener diode rated for 200 mW power dissipation, operating across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature, and used as a precision voltage reference in low-power DC/DC converters and LED lighting drivers.
For engineers reviewing the M3Z3V3C datasheet, M3Z3V3C pinout, M3Z3V3C application, or M3Z3V3C equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.1–3.5 V zener voltage range at 5 mA test current, 85 Ω maximum zener impedance, 20 µA leakage at 1 V reverse bias, SOD-323F package compatibility, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance.
Technical Context
The M3Z3V3C functions as a single-die, cathode-banded silicon Zener diode optimized for stable voltage regulation under low-current conditions. It delivers specified breakdown behavior with pulse-tested zener voltage (PW = 10 ms) and meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance.
Its electrical performance is characterized at TA = 25°C unless otherwise noted, with thermal derating defined up to 150°C junction temperature. The device exhibits 0.9 V typical forward voltage at 10 mA and maintains ≤20 µA leakage current at VR = 1 V, supporting reliable operation in battery-powered and thermally constrained designs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B3V3,115 (Nexperia) | Same 3.3 V nominal VZ, ±5%, but rated for 300 mW and uses SOD-323 package (not SOD-323F) | Slightly higher power margin; identical footprint but different mold compound flammability rating (UL 94 V-0 not explicitly stated) | Select when higher power headroom is required and UL 94 V-0 is not mandated |
| MMBZ5226BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 3.3 V ±5%, 200 mW, SOD-323 package, but leakage is 50 µA at 1 V vs. M3Z3V3C's 20 µA | Higher leakage may affect ultra-low-power sensor biasing; same thermal rating and moisture sensitivity level | Select when cost optimization is prioritized and leakage sensitivity is low |
Compared with BZX384-B3V3,115 and MMBZ5226BS-7-F, the M3Z3V3C offers superior leakage performance (20 µA @ 1 V) and certified UL 94 V-0 molding, making it preferred for safety-critical and battery-constrained designs where long-term stability and flame resistance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for M3Z3V3C at 5 mA test current?
The M3Z3V3C has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 3.1 V (minimum) to 3.5 V (maximum) when tested at IZ = 5 mA and TA = 25°C. This ±5% tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the official datasheet revision B2008. The M3Z3V3C achieves this specification using silicon process control calibrated for the 3.3 V nominal point within the broader M3Z2V0C–M3Z75VC family.
Does M3Z3V3C meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the M3Z3V3C is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. These certifications are explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the datasheet and verified through material declarations. The M3Z3V3C uses lead-free matte tin plating and halogen-free molding compound, making it suitable for environmentally regulated markets including EU and China RoHS.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for M3Z3V3C and how does it derate with temperature?
The M3Z3V3C is rated for 200 mW maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C. Derating begins linearly above 25°C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 150°C case temperature, as shown in Figure 7 (Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature). This thermal profile is intrinsic to the SOD-323F package's thermal resistance and applies identically across the M3Z series, including the M3Z3V3C.
Is M3Z3V3C compatible with standard SOD-323 footprint layouts?
Yes, the M3Z3V3C uses the SOD-323F package, which shares identical pad layout dimensions with industry-standard SOD-323. The datasheet provides suggested pad dimensions matching JEDEC MO-203-AB, ensuring compatibility with existing stencil and placement tooling. While SOD-323F includes minor mold compound refinements, the M3Z3V3C's mechanical outline and terminal positioning align fully with legacy SOD-323 designs.
What is the leakage current specification for M3Z3V3C and under what conditions is it measured?
The M3Z3V3C specifies a maximum leakage current (IR) of 20 µA at VR = 1 V and TA = 25°C. This value is measured under reverse-bias conditions with no zener conduction occurring, and is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table. The M3Z3V3C's low leakage supports precision biasing in high-impedance circuits such as sensor front-ends and battery-monitoring paths.
