Product details
Overview
MM5Z3V9T5G from onsemi is a 3.9 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25°C, with 90 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 3 μA reverse leakage at 1 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics such as smartphone power rail clamping and USB interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z3V9T5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.9 V nominal Zener voltage, low-profile 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm SOD−523 footprint, Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp or regulate voltage at its specified Zener voltage (3.7–4.2 V). Its thermal resistance of 250°C/W and derating slope of 4.0 mW/°C above 25°C define its safe operating envelope on FR-4 PCBs.
The MM5Z3V9T5G exhibits a temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C at IZT, enabling predictable drift behavior across −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range. Its 450 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz supports high-frequency noise suppression in signal line protection circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C3V9 | Same 3.9 V nominal Zener voltage but in SOD-323 package (1.7 mm × 1.3 mm); 350 mW power rating | Larger footprint and lower power limit reduce suitability for ultra-dense PCBs requiring 500 mW headroom | Select when legacy SOD-323 layout reuse is prioritized over space savings and thermal margin |
| MMSZ5227BT1G | 3.9 V Zener in SOD-123 package (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm); 500 mW rating but no AEC−Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and has higher 100 Ω ZZT, limiting use in safety-critical or high-reliability systems | Select for cost-sensitive industrial control boards where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX584-C3V9 and MMSZ5227BT1G, the MM5Z3V9T5G delivers superior space efficiency (40% smaller footprint than SOD-323), full automotive qualification, and tighter Zener impedance-making it optimal for next-generation portable and automotive electronics where board area and reliability are constrained.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage of the MM5Z3V9T5G and its tolerance?
The MM5Z3V9T5G has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls within 3.7 V to 4.2 V at 5 mA test current (IZT). This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping performance across production units and supports reliable 3.3 V rail protection in portable electronics where voltage margins are narrow.
Is the MM5Z3V9T5G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MM5Z3V9T5G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including infotainment power conditioning and cabin sensor interface protection. Its −65°C to +150°C operating temperature range and robust ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM) meet stringent automotive reliability requirements, making MM5Z3V9T5G appropriate for under-hood and interior module designs.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the MM5Z3V9T5G and how does it derate with temperature?
The MM5Z3V9T5G has a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 500 mW at 25°C ambient temperature on an FR-4 PCB. It derates linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above 25°C, reaching zero dissipation at 150°C ambient. This derating curve-documented in Figure 1 of the datasheet-must be applied during thermal design to ensure safe operation in enclosed or high-temperature environments where MM5Z3V9T5G is deployed.
Does the MM5Z3V9T5G have a specified Zener impedance, and why does it matter?
Yes, the MM5Z3V9T5G specifies a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 90 Ω at 5 mA test current. This parameter quantifies how tightly the device maintains its Zener voltage under varying current loads; lower impedance means less voltage variation during transient surges. For MM5Z3V9T5G, this ensures stable clamping during fast-rising ESD events or load-switching transients in USB and sensor interfaces.
How is polarity identified on the MM5Z3V9T5G SOD−523 package?
The MM5Z3V9T5G uses a cathode band (dark stripe) on the SOD−523 package to identify Pin 1 (Cathode); Pin 2 (Anode) is the unmarked end. This marking aligns with JEDEC standard SOD−523 orientation and is visible under 10× magnification. Correct orientation is critical-reversing MM5Z3V9T5G in circuit causes forward conduction instead of Zener regulation, potentially damaging downstream components.
