Product details
Overview
MM5Z4V3ST1G from onsemi is a 4.3 V ±3% tolerance 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 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 3.0 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics such as smartphone power rail clamping and USB interface overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z4V3ST1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its tight 4.17–4.43 V Zener voltage window, 16 kV HBM ESD rating, SOD-523 footprint compatibility, and automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification when ordered as SZ variant.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference and transient clamp, leveraging silicon PN junction avalanche breakdown. Its thermal resistance of 250 °C/W (Junction-to-Ambient) and 4.0 mW/°C derating above 25 °C define safe operating limits on FR-4 PCBs with 1 cm² copper pad.
The MM5Z4V3ST1G exhibits a temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C at 5 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks. Its 450 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz supports high-frequency noise suppression without compromising signal integrity in RF front-end protection.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C4V3 | 4.3 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 × 0.9 mm) | Larger footprint; lower power handling; identical voltage range but looser tolerance | Select when board space permits larger package and ±5% regulation suffices |
| MMSZ4V3ET1G | 4.3 V ±5%, 500 mW, SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm); no AEC-Q101 option | 3× larger area; lacks automotive qualification; higher thermal resistance (300 °C/W) | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with BZX584C4V3 and MMSZ4V3ET1G, the MM5Z4V3ST1G delivers tighter voltage control (±3% vs. ±5%), smaller footprint (SOD-523), and automotive qualification path via SZ prefix-making it optimal for next-gen portable and automotive edge nodes where size, precision, and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM5Z4V3ST1G?
The MM5Z4V3ST1G has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 4.17 V to 4.43 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to ±3% tolerance around the nominal 4.3 V rating. This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the onsemi datasheet and enables direct use in 3.3 V rail protection without calibration. The MM5Z4V3ST1G achieves this via process-controlled doping and laser trimming during wafer sort.
Does MM5Z4V3ST1G support automotive applications?
The MM5Z4V3ST1G itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its automotive-grade counterpart SZMM5Z4V3ST1G is fully qualified and PPAP-capable. Both share identical electrical specs and SOD-523 packaging, differing only in traceability, lot control, and qualification documentation. For non-automotive designs, MM5Z4V3ST1G remains suitable; for automotive Tier 1 programs, the SZ prefix version must be specified.
What is the maximum power dissipation for MM5Z4V3ST1G at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient, the MM5Z4V3ST1G's maximum power dissipation is 260 mW. This is calculated using the 4.0 mW/°C derating factor from the datasheet: 500 mW − (85 − 25) × 4.0 = 260 mW. Operation above this limit risks exceeding the 150 °C max junction temperature and accelerated parametric shift. The MM5Z4V3ST1G's thermal resistance of 250 °C/W assumes a 1 cm² FR-4 copper pad.
How is polarity identified on the MM5Z4V3ST1G SOD-523 package?
The MM5Z4V3ST1G uses a cathode band (dark stripe) on the SOD-523 body to identify Pin 1 (cathode); Pin 2 (anode) is the unmarked end. This marking aligns with the generic SOD-523 marking diagram in the datasheet (page 4), and the device marking "T8" appears adjacent to the band. Correct orientation is critical-reversing the MM5Z4V3ST1G will result in forward conduction instead of Zener regulation.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for MM5Z4V3ST1G at 3.0 V?
The MM5Z4V3ST1G specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 µA at VR = 3.0 V and TA = 25 °C, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent current draw in always-on sensor nodes and battery-backed systems. At elevated temperatures, leakage increases exponentially-e.g., ~5 µA at 85 °C-so system-level validation is recommended for extended temperature operation of MM5Z4V3ST1G.
