Product details
Overview
MM3Z3V9ST1 from onsemi is a 3.9 V ±3.5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD−323 package, rated for 200 mW steady-state power dissipation, 90 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and 3.0 μA reverse leakage at 3.0 V, used for precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM3Z3V9ST1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±3.5%), low-profile SOD−323 footprint (1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), thermal resistance (635 °C/W), and tight VZ temperature coefficient (−2.5 mV/°C).
Technical Context
This Zener regulator operates in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage with stable reference behavior across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Its 5 mA test current and 90 Ω dynamic impedance ensure predictable regulation under moderate load transients.
The device features cathode polarity marking, Pb-free plating options, UL 94 V−0 flammability rating, and 260 °C soldering tolerance for reflow compatibility. It delivers 3.89–4.16 V nominal Zener voltage with −2.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient at IZT = 5 mA.

Use Scenario: Protects 3.3 V I/O rails from transient overvoltage during hot-plug events in compact smartphone mainboards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener voltage clamp placed between VIO and GND to shunt surge energy before it reaches SoC pins. Use Value: 3.89–4.16 V breakdown range aligns with 3.3 V rail margin, while 200 mW rating handles short-duration ESD pulses without degradation. | Use Scenario: Stabilizes CC line voltage during USB-C cable insertion to prevent false detection or port latch-up. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (≤450 pF) Zener referenced to ground, limiting CC pin swing to safe levels. Use Value: 450 pF capacitance avoids signal integrity issues on 100 kHz CC communication, and −2.5 mV/°C tempco maintains accuracy across ambient temperature shifts. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt regulator supplying clean reference to sensor signal chain, operating at microamp-level quiescent current. Use Value: ≤3.0 μA leakage at 3.0 V minimizes battery drain, and SOD−323 size fits within 3 mm² board area constraints. | Use Scenario: Clamps input to 3.3 V LDO in remote environmental sensor nodes powered by variable solar harvesters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pre-regulator protecting LDO input from voltage spikes exceeding absolute maximum ratings. Use Value: 90 Ω Zener impedance ensures fast response to input surges, and 635 °C/W thermal resistance allows reliable operation without heatsinking. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B3V9,115 | Same 3.9 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, SOD-323, but higher ZZT (120 Ω) and lower ESD rating (8 kV HBM) | Less suitable for ESD-prone interfaces; acceptable where tighter VZ tolerance is not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and ESD robustness needs |
| MMSZ4685T1G | 3.9 V nominal, ±5%, SOD-123 package (larger: 2.7 mm × 1.4 mm), 200 mW rating, ZZT = 100 Ω | Requires PCB layout change due to different footprint; better thermal dissipation (RJA ≈ 500 °C/W) | Choose when board space permits larger package and higher thermal margin is prioritized |
Compared with BZX384-B3V9,115 and MMSZ4685T1G, MM3Z3V9ST1 offers superior Zener voltage tolerance (±3.5% vs. ±5%), highest ESD immunity (>16 kV), and smallest footprint-making it optimal for miniaturized, high-reliability consumer electronics where precision and robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range specified for MM3Z3V9ST1?
The MM3Z3V9ST1 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 3.89 V to 4.16 V when tested at 5 mA (IZT), per the official onsemi datasheet Rev. 15. This 3.9 V nominal rating with ±3.5% tolerance reflects tight process control optimized for precision reference applications, and the value is validated at TA = 25 °C with no derating applied.
Does MM3Z3V9ST1 support lead-free assembly processes?
Yes, MM3Z3V9ST1 is available in a Pb-free version denoted by the "G" suffix (e.g., MM3Z3V9ST1G), with Sn-only plating compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device supports standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, and its SOD−323 package is qualified for both SnPb and Pb-free soldering without reliability degradation.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MM3Z3V9ST1 and at what condition?
The MM3Z3V9ST1 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 3.0 μA when biased at 3.0 V (VR), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This parameter is measured at TA = 25 °C and confirms low standby power consumption-critical for battery-powered devices using MM3Z3V9ST1 as a shunt reference or clamp.
How does the temperature coefficient of MM3Z3V9ST1 affect its performance in varying ambient conditions?
The MM3Z3V9ST1 has a temperature coefficient of −2.5 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA, meaning its Zener voltage decreases by approximately 2.5 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This predictable negative drift allows designers to compensate circuit thresholds in MM3Z3V9ST1-based references across −65 °C to +150 °C operating range without additional components.
Can MM3Z3V9ST1 be used as a substitute for older Zener diodes like 1N4728A in new designs?
No, MM3Z3V9ST1 is not a direct substitute for through-hole Zeners such as 1N4728A due to fundamental differences: MM3Z3V9ST1 is a 3.9 V, 200 mW SOD−323 surface-mount device with ±3.5% tolerance and −2.5 mV/°C tempco, whereas 1N4728A is a 3.3 V, 1 W DO-41 part with ±5% tolerance and different thermal characteristics. Board redesign and validation are required if replacing 1N4728A with MM3Z3V9ST1.
