Product details
Overview
MMBZ5223BT-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.7 V, 150 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-523 package, rated for 20 mA test current, 30 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, and 75 μA reverse leakage at 1.0 V reverse bias. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power signal conditioning and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5223BT-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5223BT-7-F pinout, MMBZ5223BT-7-F application, or MMBZ5223BT-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±4.4%), thermal resistance (833 °C/W), power derating above 25 °C, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses planar die construction to ensure stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage across -65 °C to +150 °C operating range. Its 2.7 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 20 mA test current with ±4.4% tolerance (2.57–2.84 V), and exhibits 1300 Ω maximum knee impedance at 0.25 mA.
Designed for general-purpose voltage regulation and overvoltage clamping, it delivers 75 μA max reverse leakage at VR = 1.0 V and maintains 30 Ω typical Zener impedance at IZT, supporting stable DC reference generation in space-constrained analog subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for MMBZ5223BT-7-F?
The device exhibits nominal Zener breakdown at 2.7 V with a guaranteed range of 2.57 V to 2.84 V at 20 mA test current. Below 1.0 V reverse bias, leakage remains ≤75 μA; no defined "maximum reverse voltage" exists prior to breakdown-it operates as a controlled avalanche device once voltage exceeds the specified Zener range.
Can MMBZ5223BT-7-F be used in place of a 2.5 V Zener diode?
No-MMBZ5223BT-7-F is strictly a 2.7 V device with ±4.4% tolerance. Substituting it for a 2.5 V Zener introduces a 8% systematic offset, potentially causing incorrect biasing or trip-point errors in reference or protection circuits. Use MMBZ5221BT-7-F (2.4 V nominal) if 2.5 V is required.
Is thermal derating required for operation above 25 °C ambient?
Yes-its 833 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires linear derating: power must decrease by 0.18 mW/°C above 25 °C. At 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable dissipation drops to 39 mW, limiting usable Zener current to ~14.4 mA at 2.7 V.
Does MMBZ5223BT-7-F have a specified capacitance value?
No specific capacitance is listed in the datasheet, but Figure 4 shows typical total capacitance for 2.7 V Zeners is <5 pF. This low value supports use in high-frequency clamping and RF-bias applications where parasitic loading must be minimized.
