Product details
Overview
MM3Z3V3T1GX from Nexperia is a 3.3 V ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, with 5.0 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA and −3.5 to 0 mV/K temperature coefficient - used for precision low-voltage regulation in space-constrained power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MM3Z3V3T1GX datasheet, MM3Z3V3T1GX pinout, MM3Z3V3T1GX application, or MM3Z3V3T1GX equivalent, key selection factors include its 3.10–3.50 V nominal Zener voltage range, cathode-anode polarity marking (XW code), thermal resistance of 415 K/W (junction-to-ambient), and suitability for biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection in portable and industrial DC/DC circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across 5 mA test current, leveraging silicon junction physics to maintain stable reference potential under varying load and temperature conditions. Its low 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage deviation during transient current changes.
The device exhibits a negative-to-zero temperature coefficient (−3.5 to 0 mV/K) optimized for 3.3 V operation, enabling predictable drift behavior in ambient ranges from −55 °C to +150 °C. Thermal design relies on FR4 PCB mounting with single-sided copper, where junction-to-solder-point resistance is 110 K/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.10–3.50 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for 3.3 V rail clamping or reference generation |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 5.0 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures ≤15 mV output shift per 3 mA load change, critical for low-noise analog references |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −3.5 to 0 mV/K - enables predictable, bounded drift over −55 °C to +150 °C ambient, supporting industrial-grade stability |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - supports transient surge suppression (e.g., ESD or inductive kick) without failure |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V at IF = 100 mA - defines forward conduction loss when used in polarity-sensitive clamp configurations |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - constrains thermal design margin when operating near Ptot limit in enclosed environments |
Pinout & Package
MM3Z3V3T1GX uses the SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package: 1.35 mm × 0.85 mm body, 0.45 mm height, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs; marked by XW bar |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for regulation current flow |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low differential resistance | 5.0 Ω at 5 mA - minimizes regulation error under dynamic load, improving accuracy in feedback networks |
| Tight voltage tolerance | ±5 % (3.10–3.50 V) - reduces binning requirements and simplifies design margining for 3.3 V systems |
| Small-footprint SMD package | SOD323 (1.35 × 0.85 mm) - enables high-density layout in wearables, IoT sensors, and compact power modules |
| Controlled temperature coefficient | −3.5 to 0 mV/K - delivers predictable, low-drift performance across extended industrial temperature ranges |
| High surge capability | 40 W non-repetitive peak power - withstands short-duration transients without degradation in protection circuits |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 3.3 V reference for ADC voltage dividers and op-amp biasing in battery-powered sensor nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown to fix reference potential independent of supply variation. Use Value: 5.0 Ω rdiff limits reference error to <10 mV under 2 mA load shifts, ensuring <0.3% ADC full-scale accuracy. |
Use Scenario: Clamping microcontroller I/O pins against 5 V rail surges in mixed-voltage interface circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cathode tied to protected line, anode to 3.3 V rail - conducts only above 3.5 V to shunt excess current. Use Value: 40 W peak surge rating absorbs 100 µs transients without parametric shift, preserving signal integrity. |
| LED Current Bias | Low-Power Voltage Monitor |
|
Use Scenario: Setting bias current for indicator LEDs in HVAC control panels using a simple resistor-Zener network. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener maintains fixed voltage drop across series resistor to define LED current. Use Value: ±5 % VZ tolerance ensures consistent LED brightness across production batches without calibration. |
Use Scenario: Detecting brown-out conditions in firmware by monitoring Zener conduction via GPIO input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Anode grounded, cathode pulled up through resistor - GPIO reads high until supply drops below 3.1 V. Use Value: −3.5 to 0 mV/K coefficient ensures trip point remains within 3.1–3.5 V across −40 °C to +85 °C operating range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B3V3,115 (Nexperia) | Same 3.3 V ±5 % rating, but SOD323 package with tighter 2 % tolerance option; 400 mW Ptot | Higher power rating supports higher continuous current in reference designs requiring >10 mA | Select when needing higher steady-state current headroom or tighter initial tolerance |
| MMBZ5226BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 3.3 V ±5 %, SOT-323 package (same footprint), 350 mW Ptot, rdiff = 15 Ω at 20 mA | Higher dynamic impedance increases regulation error under load; better surge rating (50 W) | Choose for legacy SOT-323 board compatibility or where higher surge immunity outweighs regulation precision |
Compared with MM3Z3V3T1GX, BZX384-B3V3 offers higher power and optional tighter tolerance but same package, while MMBZ5226BS trades lower rdiff for broader surge capability and identical footprint - making each suitable for distinct trade-offs between precision, power, and robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle at 25 °C?
At Tamb = 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB, MM3Z3V3T1GX supports up to 90.9 mA continuous reverse current (300 mW ÷ 3.3 V), limited by its 300 mW total power dissipation rating and thermal resistance of 415 K/W - exceeding typical 5 mA test current by nearly 18×.
How does the XW marking identify cathode orientation on the SOD323 package?
The XW marking appears as a bar adjacent to pin 1 on the top surface of the SOD323 package; per Nexperia's pinning diagram, this bar denotes the cathode terminal (pin 1), while pin 2 is the unmarked anode - critical for correct reverse-bias orientation in circuit layout.
Can this Zener be used in series for higher voltage references?
Yes - MM3Z3V3T1GX may be cascaded in series to generate composite reference voltages (e.g., two devices yield ~6.6 V), but cumulative tolerance (±5 % each) and mismatched temperature coefficients require derating; parallel use is not recommended due to current-sharing instability.
What reflow profile parameters are validated for this SOD323 device?
Nexperia specifies a peak reflow temperature of 260 °C for 10–20 seconds, with ramp-up rate ≤3 °C/s and ramp-down rate ≤6 °C/s; the SOD323 footprint in Figure 12 uses 0.5 mm × 0.6 mm solder lands with 0.6 mm spacing - matching JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
