Product details
Overview
MMBZ5233BS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual isolated 6.0 V ±5% Zener diode pair in SOT-363 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 7 Ω zener impedance at 20 mA, and 5.0 μA reverse leakage at 3.5 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5233BS-7 datasheet, MMBZ5233BS-7 pinout, MMBZ5233BS-7 application, or MMBZ5233BS-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage tolerance (±5%), low dynamic impedance (7 Ω), dual-diode isolation, SOT-363 thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
Technical Context
This device integrates two electrically isolated Zener diodes on a single planar silicon die, enabling bidirectional voltage regulation or independent reference generation within one ultra-small surface-mount footprint. Each diode operates with a test current of 20 mA and exhibits tight 5.70–6.30 V breakdown range at 25°C.
The SOT-363 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering, with UL 94V-0 mold compound and moisture sensitivity level 1. Thermal performance is specified for FR4 PCB mounting using Diodes Inc.'s recommended pad layout (AP02001).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 6.0 V nominal, 5.70–6.30 V min/max - ensures stable reference under ±5% tolerance at 20 mA test current |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - defines maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 board |
| Zener Impedance | 7 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - enables low-voltage droop during transient load changes |
| Reverse Leakage | 5.0 μA at VR = 3.5 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby clamp configurations |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient - determines temperature rise per milliwatt under natural convection |
| Package | SOT-363 - 6-pin ultra-small outline with dual isolated anode/cathode terminals |
Pinout & Package
SOT-363 is a 6-pin, dual-row surface-mount plastic package with dual isolated Zener structures. Pin 1 (C1) and Pin 2 (A1) form the first Zener (cathode/anode); Pin 3 (C2) and Pin 4 (A2) form the second Zener; Pins 5 and 6 are no-connect (NC).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (C1) | Cathode of Zener 1 | Connected to higher-potential node for forward-biased clamping or reverse-biased regulation |
| Pin 2 (A1) | Anode of Zener 1 | Reference or ground return path for first Zener element |
| Pin 3 (C2) | Cathode of Zener 2 | Independent cathode terminal enabling separate voltage reference or bidirectional protection |
| Pin 4 (A2) | Anode of Zener 2 | Isolated anode node allowing differential or dual-rail regulation schemes |
| Pins 5 & 6 | No Connect (NC) | Unbonded internal terminals - must remain unconnected in PCB layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual isolated Zener elements | Enables independent voltage references or complementary clamping without shared substrate coupling |
| Planar die construction | Ensures repeatable breakdown characteristics and improved long-term stability vs. diffused junctions |
| 200 mW total power rating | Supports moderate-current regulation in portable and low-power sensor interface designs |
| Lead-free / RoHS compliant | Meets global environmental compliance requirements with matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | USB Port ESD Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing ADC reference voltage in 4–20 mA loop-powered transmitters operating across -40°C to +85°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-Zener provides ratiometric reference for op-amp gain-setting and overvoltage protection on supply rail. Use Value: Tight 6.0 V ±5% tolerance and 7 Ω impedance maintain <0.5% reference error under 1–5 mA load variation. | Use Scenario: Protecting USB 2.0 D+ and D− lines from ±8 kV contact ESD per IEC 61000-4-2. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping diode pair shunts transient energy to VBUS and GND rails simultaneously. Use Value: Dual-isolation prevents cross-talk between data lines while maintaining <1 ns response time due to low capacitance (<2 pF typical). |
| Low-Power IoT Node Voltage Supervisor | Automotive Body Control Module Reset Circuit |
Use Scenario: Monitoring 3.3 V system rail in battery-operated BLE sensor nodes with wake-on-voltage-drop functionality. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener-based comparator input bias network generating precise hysteresis thresholds. Use Value: 5.0 μA leakage at 3.5 V ensures <100 nA additional current draw in deep sleep mode. | Use Scenario: Generating clean 5.0 V reset threshold for microcontroller supervision in 12 V automotive subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamped reference source feeding RC delay network into dedicated reset IC input. Use Value: 625 °C/W thermal resistance allows operation up to +125°C junction temperature with no derating below 150 mW. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C6V2-7-F | Single 6.2 V Zener, SOT-23, 350 mW rating, 10 Ω ZZT | Lacks dual isolation; higher power but no second independent Zener | Select when only one reference is needed and higher surge tolerance is required |
| MMBZ5234BS-7-F | 6.2 V nominal (5.89–6.51 V), same SOT-363 package and dual structure | 0.2 V higher nominal voltage; identical pinout and thermal behavior | Choose for marginally higher clamping threshold where 6.2 V improves noise immunity |
Compared with BZX84-C6V2-7-F and MMBZ5234BS-7-F, MMBZ5233BS-7 offers tighter 6.0 V regulation with lower dynamic impedance (7 Ω vs. 10 Ω) and dual-element isolation-critical for differential sensing and multi-rail protection where channel crosstalk must be avoided.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this device can withstand before breakdown?
The MMBZ5233BS-7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.0 V with a guaranteed range of 5.70 V to 6.30 V at 20 mA test current. Its reverse breakdown is sharply defined within this band; operation above 6.30 V under sustained DC conditions exceeds specification and risks thermal runaway if power dissipation exceeds 200 mW.
Can both Zener diodes be used simultaneously in the same circuit?
Yes - the two Zeners are fully isolated, allowing simultaneous use for independent functions such as dual-rail clamping (e.g., VCC and VIO lines) or complementary reference generation. Pins 1/2 and 3/4 operate as separate cathode/anode pairs; no internal connection exists between them.
Is the SOT-363 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOT-363 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Diodes Inc. specifies peak temperatures up to 260°C for 30 seconds, with ramp rates and soak profiles aligned to IPC/JEDEC standards for SnAgCu solder paste.
Does this part meet AEC-Q200 stress testing requirements for automotive use?
No - the MMBZ5233BS-7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it operates across -65°C to +150°C and is RoHS-compliant, Diodes Inc. does not list it in their AEC-Q200-certified portfolio. For automotive applications requiring qualification, consider the AZ23C6V2 or BZX84-A6V2 series.
