Product details
Overview
MM5Z6V8ST1 from onsemi is a 200 mW, 6.65–6.93 V Zener diode in SOD−523 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained circuits. It delivers 15 Ω max Zener impedance at 5 mA test current, −40 °C to +125 °C operating range, and 16 kV ESD rating (HBM), used in smartphone power rail clamping and portable device reference stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z6V8ST1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its tight 5% Zener tolerance, low 155 pF capacitance at 0 V, 4.0 μA max leakage at 5.4 V, thermal resistance of 635 °C/W, and Pb-free SOD−523 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The MM5Z6V8ST1 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, maintaining stable reverse breakdown across 5 mA nominal test current with ±0.14 V tolerance (6.65–6.93 V). Its 160 Ω max dynamic impedance at IZK = 1 mA ensures predictable knee behavior during transient suppression.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR-4 boards, it features 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm body, 0.7 mm height, and MSL 1 reflow rating up to 260 °C. The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +1.2 mV/°C at 5 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C6V8 | Same 6.8 V nominal, but 350 mW rating and SOD-323 package (1.7 mm × 1.3 mm) | Higher power handling suits industrial 24 V systems; larger footprint incompatible with ultra-thin mobile PCBs | Select when >200 mW dissipation or higher surge immunity is required; verify layout clearance for larger body |
| MMSZ4687T1G | 6.8 V nominal, 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm), 200 Ω ZZT | Designed for general-purpose board-level protection; lacks Class 3 ESD rating and tight 5% tolerance | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial controls where ESD robustness and precision are secondary to power margin |
Compared with BZX584C6V8 and MMSZ4687T1G, the MM5Z6V8ST1 offers superior space efficiency and ESD resilience for consumer portables, while trading off absolute power headroom-making it optimal for battery-powered devices where board area and human-touch reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM5Z6V8ST1?
The MM5Z6V8ST1 has a specified Zener voltage range of 6.65 V to 6.93 V at 5 mA test current, representing a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 6.8 V rating. This tight tolerance ensures reliable clamping behavior in precision reference and protection circuits without requiring binning or calibration. The MM5Z6V8ST1 achieves this via process-controlled doping and laser trimming during manufacturing.
Does MM5Z6V8ST1 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the MM5Z6V8ST1 uses 100% matte tin lead finish and is qualified for MSL 1 handling with peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Its SOD−523 package meets IPC-J-STD-020 requirements for Pb-free assembly, and the device is explicitly marked as Pb-free in onsemi's ordering nomenclature (no "G" suffix needed). The MM5Z6V8ST1 is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MM5Z6V8ST1?
The MM5Z6V8ST1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 4.0 μA at VR = 5.4 V and TA = 25 °C. This low leakage supports extended battery life in always-on portable devices. At elevated temperatures (e.g., 125 °C), leakage increases predictably per datasheet derating curves, remaining below 50 μA-still suitable for most low-power monitoring functions involving the MM5Z6V8ST1.
Can MM5Z6V8ST1 be used for ESD protection on high-speed data lines?
Yes, the MM5Z6V8ST1 is rated for Class 3 HBM ESD (>16 kV) and exhibits only 155 pF capacitance at 0 V, making it suitable for protecting low-speed to mid-speed digital interfaces like I²C, UART, and USB 2.0 data lines. Its fast Zener turn-on and low dynamic impedance ensure effective clamping without distorting signal edges. For USB 2.0, the MM5Z6V8ST1 is typically deployed in parallel with the data pair to ground.
How does the temperature coefficient affect MM5Z6V8ST1 performance?
MM5Z6V8ST1 has a temperature coefficient of +1.2 mV/°C at 5 mA, meaning its Zener voltage increases linearly with junction temperature. This positive drift is beneficial in bias networks where thermal tracking with other silicon components is desired. Over the −40 °C to +125 °C range, total VZ shift is approximately ±200 mV-within specification for most non-critical regulation tasks. Designers using MM5Z6V8ST1 in precision references should account for this slope in system-level calibration.
