Product details
Overview
MMBZ5223B-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.7V, 350mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and low-power reference applications at 20mA test current with 2.57–2.84V tolerance and 1.3kΩ dynamic impedance. It operates across –65°C to +150°C and is used in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage clamping, and analog sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5223B-7 datasheet, MMBZ5223B-7 pinout, MMBZ5223B-7 application, or MMBZ5223B-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage range, thermal resistance (357°C/W), reverse leakage (75µA @ 1.0V), junction-to-ambient rating, and JEDEC-compliant reliability data - all critical for low-voltage rail stabilization and ESD-robust signal conditioning designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and low temperature coefficient. Its 20mA zener test current and 1.3kΩ impedance at 1kHz ensure predictable regulation under light-load conditions typical in reference and protection circuits.
Rated for 350mW dissipation on FR-4 PCB with RθJA = 357°C/W, it supports operation up to +150°C ambient and maintains <75µA reverse leakage at VR = 1.0V - enabling reliable use in battery-powered and thermally constrained industrial modules.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nom) | 2.7V - precise reference point for 2.5–3.0V rail regulation |
| Zener Voltage Range | 2.57–2.84V @ IZT = 20mA - ensures production yield compliance with ±5% tolerance |
| Zener Impedance | 1.3kΩ @ 1kHz - defines voltage deviation under small-signal AC load variation |
| Power Dissipation | 350mW on FR-4 - sets maximum continuous DC current limit (~130mA at 2.7V) |
| Reverse Leakage | 75µA @ VR = 1.0V - confirms low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 357°C/W - determines junction temperature rise under PCB-mounted thermal conditions |
| Operating Temp | –65°C to +150°C - supports automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |

Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | Sensor Bias Reference |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing output voltage in low-current linear regulators and switching converter feedback dividers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing accurate 2.7V setpoint to error amplifier inputs. Use Value: Maintains ±2% output regulation over line/load variations due to low dynamic impedance and tight VZ tolerance. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, low-drift voltage source replacing higher-cost bandgap references in analog front-ends. Use Value: Delivers <75µA leakage and <1.3kΩ impedance to minimize sensor measurement error and self-heating effects. |
| Overvoltage Clamp | ESD Protection Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Limiting transient voltages on microcontroller I/O lines during hot-swap or inductive kick events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp absorbing surge energy before downstream logic reaches damage threshold. Use Value: Activates at 2.7V nominal with sub-100ns response, protecting 3.3V GPIO against >4V transients without crowbar action. |
Use Scenario: Front-end protection for USB, I²C, and UART signal lines exposed to human-body-model (HBM) ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (<2pF) Zener clamp diverting ESD current away from sensitive transceivers. Use Value: With 350mW rating and 1.0V reverse standoff, it suppresses 8kV HBM pulses while preserving signal integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C2V7 | Same 2.7V nominal, but 300mW rating and higher ZZT (1.5kΩ); SOT23 package with different marking and traceability | Limited to lower-power clamping; less suitable for precision biasing where thermal drift matters | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer designs where 50mW margin reduction is acceptable |
| MMBZ5223BS-7-F | Same electrical specs, but "S" suffix denotes enhanced surge rating (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3) and tighter IR screening (<50µA) | Required for industrial equipment subject to conducted transients or extended lifetime requirements | Choose when system-level EMC testing or >10-year field reliability is mandated |
Compared with BZX84-C2V7 and MMBZ5223BS-7-F, the MMBZ5223B-7 offers optimal balance of regulation accuracy, thermal robustness, and supply-chain maturity - making it ideal for general-purpose voltage referencing where JEDEC reliability and RoHS 3 compliance are baseline requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for MMBZ5223B-7 at 25°C ambient?
The device supports up to ~130mA continuous DC current at 25°C ambient, calculated from its 350mW power rating and 2.7V nominal Zener voltage (IZMAX = PD/VZ). Derating begins above 25°C per the published curve - at 70°C ambient, max current drops to ~90mA to maintain safe junction temperature.
Does MMBZ5223B-7 meet AEC-Q200 for automotive use?
MMBZ5223B-7 itself is not AEC-Q200 qualified, but Diodes offers the automotive-grade MMBZ5223BQ-7-F variant - manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities, PPAP-capable, and tested to AEC-Q200 stress requirements. The base part shares identical electrical specs and SOT23 packaging.
How does the 1.3kΩ Zener impedance affect regulation accuracy under load variation?
At 1kHz, 1.3kΩ impedance means a 1mA change in Zener current causes ~1.3mV output shift - critical for maintaining <0.5% regulation in precision analog circuits. This value is measured at 20mA test current and remains stable across –40°C to +85°C per characterization data.
Can MMBZ5223B-7 be used in place of a 2.5V Zener like MMBZ5221B?
No - MMBZ5223B-7 has a nominal 2.7V Zener voltage (2.57–2.84V range), while MMBZ5221B is 2.4V (2.28–2.52V). Substituting them risks undershoot or overshoot in feedback loops or bias networks. Always verify target voltage tolerance and thermal coefficient match before cross-replacement.
