Product details
Overview
MM5Z3V3T5GF from Nexperia is a 3.3 V ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) 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. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained low-power circuits such as USB port protection and microcontroller reset supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z3V3T5GF datasheet, MM5Z3V3T5GF pinout, MM5Z3V3T5GF application, or MM5Z3V3T5GF equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W), cathode-anode polarity marking, and SOD523 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable 3.3 V output across load variations by conducting reverse current above its breakdown threshold. Its low 5.0 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal voltage deviation under dynamic current changes from 1 mA to 5 mA.
The SOD523 package enables surface-mount integration with minimal board area (1.25 mm × 0.85 mm), while the −3.5 to 0 mV/K temperature coefficient guarantees predictable drift over −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range - critical for industrial sensor front-ends and battery-powered wearables.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.23 V to 3.37 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 3.3 V rail stabilization |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - enables accurate reference generation without post-production trimming |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 5.0 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - limits output voltage shift to ≤25 mV per 5 mA load change |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper - sets maximum continuous DC bias capability |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - supports transient surge suppression in ESD-coupled interfaces |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max at IF = 100 mA - defines forward conduction loss during polarity-reversal fault conditions |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - determines thermal derating curve for operation above 25 °C ambient |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small flat-lead plastic package: 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm body, 0.65 mm height, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal; carries reverse current during regulation |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt path for excess current during overvoltage events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C3V3 | Same 3.3 V ±5 % tolerance, SOD523 package, but higher rdiff = 90 Ω and Ptot = 350 mW | Less stable regulation under varying load; better suited for coarse clamping than precision reference | Select when cost priority outweighs voltage stability; avoid in ADC reference paths |
| MMSZ4685T1G | 3.3 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm), rdiff = 15 Ω, Ptot = 500 mW | Larger footprint and higher power handling, but looser tolerance and inferior thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 450 K/W) | Choose only if board layout allows larger package and higher power margin is required |
Compared with BZX584-C3V3 and MMSZ4685T1G, MM5Z3V3T5GF delivers tighter voltage control (±2 % vs. ±5 %), lower impedance regulation (5.0 Ω vs. ≥15 Ω), and superior thermal performance in ultra-dense layouts - making it optimal for precision 3.3 V reference and ESD-critical interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for stable 3.3 V regulation?
The MM5Z3V3T5GF maintains regulation up to 95 µA reverse current at VR = 3.0 V, and achieves full 3.23–3.37 V Zener voltage at IZ = 5 mA. For stable operation, design for 1–10 mA nominal Zener current to stay within specified differential resistance and temperature coefficient bounds.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance in high-density PCBs?
With Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W in free air and Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W to solder point, the SOD523 package relies heavily on cathode-side copper area. On standard FR4 with 35 mm² Cu at the cathode tab, junction-to-ambient rise is limited to ~105 °C at 300 mW - confirming suitability for thermally constrained IoT modules.
Can MM5Z3V3T5GF replace a 3.3 V TL431-based reference in low-current applications?
No - the MM5Z3V3T5GF is a passive two-terminal Zener diode, lacking the active feedback, adjustable output, and 1 mA minimum cathode current requirement of the TL431. It serves best as a simple shunt clamp or fixed reference where ±2 % accuracy suffices and no dynamic adjustment is needed.
What is the impact of reverse voltage below 3.23 V on leakage behavior?
At VR = 3.0 V, typical reverse current is ≤95 µA; at VR = 2.5 V, it drops to <1 µA. This low sub-knee leakage (≤100 nA at 1 V) ensures minimal quiescent drain in always-on battery monitors, preserving shelf life in medical patch devices.
