Product details
Overview
MM5Z3V9ST1 from onsemi is a 3.89–4.16 V, 200 mW Zener diode in SOD−523 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics such as smartphones and high-density PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z3V9ST1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ±5% Zener tolerance at 5 mA, 90 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, −2.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient, and Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM).
Technical Context
The MM5Z3V9ST1 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, maintaining stable reverse breakdown across ambient temperatures from −65°C to +150°C with a thermal resistance of 635°C/W. Its low 0.7 mm body height and 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm footprint support ultra-compact layout integration.
It delivers specified Zener voltage (3.89–4.16 V) at 5 mA test current, with maximum reverse leakage of 1.0 µA at VR = 3.0 V and forward voltage ≤0.9 V at 10 mA. Capacitance is capped at 450 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C3V9 | Same 3.9 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance at 5 mA; higher ZZK (150 Ω vs. 90 Ω); SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm) | Larger footprint limits use in ultra-dense layouts; higher impedance reduces regulation fidelity under dynamic load | Prefer MM5Z3V9ST1 where board area <1.0 mm² is critical and low-Z performance is required |
| MMSZ4685 | 3.9 V nominal, ±5% at 20 mA; higher power (350 mW); SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 mm); dVZ/dT = +2.5 mV/°C (opposite polarity) | Requires larger pad layout; positive tempco complicates thermal drift compensation in battery systems | Choose MM5Z3V9ST1 when thermal stability and miniaturization outweigh raw power handling needs |
Compared with BZX584-C3V9 and MMSZ4685, the MM5Z3V9ST1 offers superior space efficiency, tighter low-current impedance control, and negative temperature coefficient alignment with lithium battery voltage sag profiles-making it optimal for modern compact, battery-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM5Z3V9ST1 at its rated test current?
The MM5Z3V9ST1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at IZT = 5 mA, yielding a guaranteed range of 3.89 V to 4.16 V. This tight tolerance supports accurate voltage clamping in 3.3 V system rails without additional calibration. The MM5Z3V9ST1's specification is validated per onsemi's published Electrical Characteristics table and applies directly to the SOD−523 packaged device.
Does MM5Z3V9ST1 support lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the MM5Z3V9ST1 features 100% matte tin lead finish and is qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C, meeting IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements. It is rated MSL 1 (unlimited floor life), eliminating bake requirements before assembly. The MM5Z3V9ST1's Pb−Free status is confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet revision 6.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MM5Z3V9ST1 at 3.0 V?
The MM5Z3V9ST1 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 µA at VR = 3.0 V and TA = 25°C. This low leakage preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits and ensures minimal loading on high-impedance bias networks. The value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the MM5Z2V4ST1 SERIES datasheet.
How does the temperature coefficient of MM5Z3V9ST1 affect its performance in battery-powered devices?
The MM5Z3V9ST1 has a temperature coefficient of −2.5 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA, meaning its Zener voltage decreases slightly with rising temperature. This negative drift complements the natural voltage sag of lithium-ion batteries under load and elevated temperature, improving overall system-level regulation stability. The MM5Z3V9ST1's dVZ/dT is measured and documented in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
Is MM5Z3V9ST1 suitable for ESD protection on high-speed data lines like USB 2.0?
Yes, the MM5Z3V9ST1 is suitable for USB 2.0 ESD protection due to its low 450 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz, which avoids signal integrity degradation at 480 Mbps. Its >16 kV HBM ESD rating meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements. The MM5Z3V9ST1's performance in this role is validated in onsemi application notes for portable interface protection.
