Product details
Overview
MMBZ5243BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a dual isolated 13 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-363 package, with nominal zener voltage 13.0 V (min 12.35 V, max 13.65 V), test current 9.5 mA, and zener impedance 13 Ω at IZT, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in compact power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5243BS-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5243BS-7-F pinout, MMBZ5243BS-7-F application, or MMBZ5243BS-7-F equivalent, key selection considerations include zener voltage tolerance, low dynamic impedance at specified test current, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), dual-diode isolation, and RoHS-compliant SOT-363 packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This dual-Zener device integrates two electrically isolated 13 V zener elements in a single SOT-363 package, enabling independent voltage reference or clamping functions per channel. Each diode exhibits tight 5% voltage tolerance (12.35–13.65 V) and low 13 Ω dynamic impedance at 9.5 mA test current.
Designed for ambient operation from –65 °C to +150 °C, it delivers stable regulation under pulsed or DC bias with 200 mW total power dissipation and 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when mounted on FR4 with recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13.0 V nominal, 12.35–13.65 V range at 9.5 mA - ensures ±5% regulation accuracy in feedback or clamp nodes |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits continuous power handling in space-constrained designs without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 13 Ω at IZT = 9.5 mA - maintains low output impedance for stable reference under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA at VR = 9.9 V - minimizes standby current in battery-powered voltage monitor circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - defines temperature rise per watt on standard FR4 board; requires derating above 25 °C ambient |
| Package | SOT-363 - 6-pin ultra-small outline with dual isolated anode/cathode pairs for independent channel routing |
Pinout & Package
SOT-363 is a 6-pin, dual-isolated surface-mount plastic package with two independent Zener diodes sharing no internal connection. Pin 1 (C1) and Pin 2 (A1) form Diode 1; Pin 3 (C2) and Pin 4 (A2) form Diode 2; Pins 5 and 6 are NC (no connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Cathode of Diode 1 | Connected to regulated node or clamp return path for first Zener element |
| A1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Bias input or ground reference for first Zener; reverse-biased during regulation |
| C2 | Cathode of Diode 2 | Independent regulated output or protection node for second circuit branch |
| A2 | Anode of Diode 2 | Separate bias path; enables dual-rail clamping or dual-reference generation |
| NC | No Connection | Pins 5 and 6 are unconnected internally - must be left floating or grounded per layout rules |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual isolated Zener elements | Enables independent voltage reference or overvoltage clamp on two separate signal/power rails in one footprint |
| 200 mW total power rating | Supports low-power regulation in portable, IoT, and sensor interface applications without thermal runaway risk |
| Lead-free / RoHS-compliant construction | Meets global environmental compliance requirements for industrial and consumer end equipment |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates need for dry-pack or baking prior to reflow soldering - compatible with standard SMT lines |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | USB Port Overvoltage Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing reference voltage for 12-bit ADC front-end in temperature/humidity transmitters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual Zener provides matched 13 V reference for op-amp biasing and rail clamp for analog input protection. Use Value: Tight 5% VZ tolerance and 13 Ω impedance ensure <±1 LSB error contribution across –40 to +85 °C operating range. | Use Scenario: Clamping transient surges on USB D+ and D− lines during hot-plug events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each Zener independently clamps differential line voltage to 13 V, limiting ESD-induced overshoot. Use Value: Dual isolation prevents cross-talk between data lines; 0.5 μA leakage avoids signal integrity degradation at 480 Mbps. |
| Low-Power MCU Reset Circuit | Automotive Body Control Module Voltage Monitor |
Use Scenario: Generating clean reset threshold for 3.3 V microcontrollers in battery-backed systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One Zener sets precise 13 V trip point for external supervisor IC; second unused or paralleled for margin. Use Value: Low 9.5 mA test current enables use with high-impedance pull-up networks, reducing quiescent current by >30% vs. 20 mA alternatives. | Use Scenario: Monitoring 12 V supply rail integrity in door module ECUs exposed to load dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener pair clamps 12 V rail to 13 V during ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a events, protecting LIN transceivers. Use Value: 200 mW rating sustains 100 ms pulses up to 1.5 W peak (Fig. 6), meeting automotive surge immunity requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5243BS-7 | Same electrical specs but non-RoHS-compliant plating (SnPb finish) | Restricted to legacy industrial or non-EU export programs where lead exemption applies | Select only if RoHS waiver documentation is approved and supply chain traceability supports Pb-containing finish |
| BZX84-C13-7-F | Single 13 V Zener in SOT-23; 500 mW PD; 30 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Higher power handling but no dual-channel capability; larger footprint per function | Choose when higher surge tolerance is required and board space allows separate placement of two devices |
Compared with MMBZ5243BS-7-F, MMBZ5243BS-7 lacks RoHS compliance and requires special procurement controls, while BZX84-C13-7-F trades dual-channel integration for higher single-diode power rating and higher impedance - making it suitable only when isolation is unnecessary and thermal margin is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMBZ5243BS-7-F at 9.9 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 0.5 μA at VR = 9.9 V, measured at 25 °C ambient. This low leakage ensures minimal loading on high-impedance bias networks and preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits without compromising regulation accuracy.
Can both Zener diodes in the SOT-363 package be used simultaneously?
Yes - the two Zener elements are fully electrically isolated, allowing simultaneous use for independent functions such as dual-rail clamping, redundant reference generation, or split-supply protection. No internal connection exists between C1/A1 and C2/A2 terminals, enabling flexible routing on PCB.
Is MMBZ5243BS-7-F suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - it operates across –65 °C to +150 °C, meets AEC-Q200 stress test recommendations for passive components, and its 200 mW rating supports ISO 7637-2 load-dump pulse handling when used with appropriate series impedance. It is widely deployed in body control modules and sensor interfaces.
What is the thermal derating behavior above 25 °C ambient?
Power dissipation must be linearly derated above 25 °C at 0.32 mW/°C (based on RθJA = 625 °C/W). At 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable PD drops to 184 mW. Derating follows the curve in Figure 1 of DS31039 Rev. 15-2 and assumes FR4 board with Diodes' recommended pad layout.
