Product details
Overview
MM5Z6V8ST1G from onsemi is a 500 mW, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD-523 package, with nominal Zener voltage 6.8 V at 5 mA test current, maximum Zener impedance 160 Ω at IZT, and ESD rating >16 kV (HBM). It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z6V8ST1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include its tight-tolerance 6.65–6.93 V breakdown range, low-profile 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm footprint, 155 pF capacitance at 0 V, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference and overvoltage clamp, leveraging silicon PN junction Zener breakdown. Its thermal resistance of 250 °C/W and 4.0 mW/°C derating above 25 °C define power handling limits on FR-4 PCBs.
The MM5Z6V8ST1G exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +1.2 mV/°C at 5 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks. Its 2.0 µA max reverse leakage at VR = 5.44 V supports low-power standby regulation without excessive quiescent drain.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.65–6.93 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines regulated output range under nominal bias |
| Power Rating (PD) | 500 mW at TA = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous dissipation on standard FR-4 board |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 160 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2.0 µA max at VR = 5.44 V - ensures minimal standby current in undervoltage protection circuits |
| Capacitance (C) | 155 pF max at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity in RF bias paths |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM - enables direct integration into handheld device front-end interfaces without external protection |
| Package | SOD-523 (1.20 mm × 0.80 mm × 0.70 mm) - fits 0402-class board real estate with automated placement compatibility |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM5Z6V8ST1G?
The MM5Z6V8ST1G has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 6.65 V to 6.93 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance. This tight tolerance is specified per the onsemi datasheet Rev. 15 and enables precise voltage reference design without calibration in production systems using the MM5Z6V8ST1G.
Is MM5Z6V8ST1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MM5Z6V8ST1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet. While the base MM5Z6V8ST1G part is not prefixed "SZ", its manufacturing flow and testing meet AEC-Q101 requirements-making it suitable for automotive infotainment, body control, and ADAS subsystems where the MM5Z6V8ST1G serves as a voltage clamp or reference.
What is the maximum power dissipation of MM5Z6V8ST1G on a standard PCB?
The MM5Z6V8ST1G has a steady-state power rating of 500 mW at 25 °C ambient on an FR-4 board with 1 cm² copper pad. Power must be derated linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above 25 °C, reaching zero dissipation at 150 °C junction temperature. This thermal behavior is defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the MM5Z6V8ST1G datasheet.
Does MM5Z6V8ST1G have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, the MM5Z6V8ST1G features Class 3 HBM ESD rating (>16 kV), verified per JEDEC JS-001. This intrinsic robustness eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in many handheld and portable designs using the MM5Z6V8ST1G for voltage regulation or clamping, reducing BOM count and board area.
What is the forward voltage drop of MM5Z6V8ST1G at 10 mA?
The forward voltage (VF) of MM5Z6V8ST1G is guaranteed ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low VF supports efficient use of the MM5Z6V8ST1G in dual-role applications such as reverse-polarity protection combined with Zener clamping, especially in battery-powered devices.
