Product details
Overview
MMBZ5229BS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-isolated 4.3 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-363 package, rated for 20 mA test current with 22 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz and 5.0 μA reverse leakage at 1.0 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5229BS-7 datasheet, MMBZ5229BS-7 pinout, MMBZ5229BS-7 application, or MMBZ5229BS-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), dual-diode isolation integrity, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and SOT-363 footprint compatibility with automated PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This dual-Zener device integrates two electrically isolated 4.3 V Zener junctions in a single SOT-363 package, enabling independent voltage clamping or reference functions on separate signal paths without cross-coupling. Each diode exhibits tightly controlled 4.09–4.52 V breakdown range at 20 mA and maintains stable regulation down to 0.25 mA knee current.
Its planar die construction ensures repeatable Zener characteristics across temperature (−65 to +150 °C), while the 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires careful PCB copper area allocation per Diodes Inc.'s AP02001 layout guidelines to sustain full 200 mW dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.3 V nominal, 4.09–4.52 V min/max at 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at TA = 25 °C - maximum continuous power before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 22 Ω at IZT = 20 mA, f = 1 kHz - indicates regulation stiffness against load current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5.0 μA at VR = 1.0 V - quantifies off-state conduction loss in clamping applications |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - determines required PCB copper area to limit junction temperature rise |
| Operating Temperature | −65 to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
SOT-363 (SC-88) plastic surface-mount package with six terminals: two anodes (A1, A2), two cathodes (C1, C2), and two no-connect (NC) pins. Molded UL 94V-0 plastic case weighs 0.006 g and supports lead-free reflow soldering per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Cathode of Zener 1 | Connected to regulated node; reverse-biased during clamping or reference operation |
| A1 | Anode of Zener 1 | Reference ground or return path for first Zener element |
| C2 | Cathode of Zener 2 | Independent regulated node; electrically isolated from C1/A1 pair |
| A2 | Anode of Zener 2 | Separate return path enabling dual-rail or differential reference use |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded internal terminal; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded internal terminal; must remain unconnected on PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual isolated Zener elements | Enables independent voltage regulation or clamping on two signal paths without shared thermal or electrical coupling |
| Planar die construction | Delivers tight ±5% Zener voltage tolerance and stable long-term parameter drift under thermal cycling |
| Lead-free / RoHS-compliant plating | Matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe meets global environmental compliance without solderability compromise |
| Ultra-small SOT-363 footprint | Reduces board space by >40% versus SOIC-8 dual Zeners while maintaining full 200 mW per element rating |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | USB Port Overvoltage Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing bias voltage for 4–20 mA transmitter front-end op-amps in harsh factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual Zener provides independent 4.3 V references for excitation and feedback paths. Use Value: Eliminates need for two discrete SOT-23 Zeners, reducing BOM count and layout area while ensuring matched thermal drift. |
Use Scenario: Clamping transient surges on USB D+ and D− lines during hot-plug events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each Zener clamps its respective data line to 4.3 V relative to GND. Use Value: Prevents ESD damage to USB transceivers with <5.0 μA leakage at 1.0 V, minimizing standby current impact. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Medical Wearable Battery Monitoring |
|
Use Scenario: Regulating supply to microcontroller I/O buffers exposed to 12 V battery transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One Zener regulates 4.3 V rail; second serves as overvoltage detector via comparator input. Use Value: Dual functionality in one package improves system-level fault coverage without adding component count. |
Use Scenario: Providing stable reference for ADC measurement of lithium-ion cell voltage in compact patches. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener establishes precise 4.3 V reference for ratiometric ADC conversion. Use Value: 22 Ω impedance ensures <1 LSB error contribution across 0–20 mA sensor current range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C4V3LT1G | Single 4.3 V Zener in SOT-23; no dual isolation; 30 Ω ZZT; 100 nA IR at 1 V | Requires two devices for dual-path use; lower leakage but higher impedance degrades regulation accuracy | Select when only one reference rail is needed and ultra-low leakage dominates design priority |
| MMBZ5229B-7-F | Same electrical specs but in SOT-23 package; single Zener; no dual-element capability | Cannot support independent dual-rail clamping or referencing; occupies larger PCB area than SOT-363 | Choose only if legacy SOT-23 footprint compatibility is mandatory and dual functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX84-C4V3LT1G and MMBZ5229B-7-F, the MMBZ5229BS-7 uniquely delivers two thermally coupled yet electrically isolated 4.3 V Zeners in the smallest possible footprint-critical for space-constrained dual-reference or differential clamping designs where matched characteristics matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for MMBZ5229BS-7 at 70°C ambient?
At 70°C ambient, the device's power dissipation must be derated linearly from 200 mW at 25°C using the 625 °C/W thermal resistance. The allowable power is 200 mW × (1 − (70 − 25)/625) = 140 mW. This assumes adherence to Diodes Inc.'s recommended FR4 pad layout per AP02001.
Are both Zener elements in MMBZ5229BS-7 electrically isolated from each other?
Yes - the SOT-363 package contains two fully isolated PN junctions with separate anode and cathode terminals (A1/C1 and A2/C2). No internal connection exists between the two Zener structures, enabling independent biasing and true dual-channel operation.
Does MMBZ5229BS-7 meet JEDEC moisture sensitivity level requirements?
Yes - it is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020D, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/85% RH without baking prior to reflow. This eliminates pre-assembly moisture mitigation steps in standard SMT processes.
Can MMBZ5229BS-7 be used for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - it is a unidirectional Zener diode configured for reverse-bias clamping only. For bidirectional ESD protection, a dedicated TVS array like the D3V3Z5U2SOT-7 is required; this part lacks symmetrical breakdown in forward conduction mode.
