Product details
Overview
MMBZ5243BTS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a triple-surface-mount Zener diode array in SOT363 package, providing three isolated 13 V ±5% Zener junctions with 9.5 mA test current, 13 Ω dynamic impedance at 9.5 mA, and 0.5 µA reverse leakage at 9.9 V. It delivers precision voltage regulation and overvoltage clamping in compact power management circuits for automotive ECUs and industrial sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5243BTS-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5243BTS-7-F pinout, MMBZ5243BTS-7-F application, or MMBZ5243BTS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (13 V), Zener impedance (13 Ω), reverse leakage (0.5 µA @ 9.9 V), power dissipation (200 mW), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability.
Technical Context
This device integrates three electrically isolated Zener diodes in a single ultra-small SOT363 package, enabling space-constrained multi-rail voltage reference or clamping without inter-device coupling. Each diode operates independently with identical electrical specs: 13 V nominal Zener voltage, 9.5 mA test current, and 13 Ω impedance at that current.
Designed for high-reliability environments, it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and features halogen/antimony-free "Green" construction with matte tin lead finish. Thermal resistance is 625 °C/W, supporting operation from –65 °C to +150 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13 V nominal, 12.35–13.65 V range at 9.5 mA - ensures stable reference under production tolerance |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 13 Ω at IZT = 9.5 mA - low dynamic resistance enables tight regulation during load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA max at VR = 9.9 V - minimal standby current preserves battery life in always-on circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - supports continuous operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| Package | SOT363 - 6-pin, 2.1 mm × 1.3 mm footprint ideal for automated placement and high-density routing |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive applications including engine control and body electronics |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT363 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic case (2.10 × 1.30 × 0.90 mm), UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Connects to cathode of external series resistor for Zener biasing; referenced to ground or lower potential rail |
| A2 | Anode of Diode 2 | Independent anode node - enables separate biasing for dual-voltage clamping or reference generation |
| A3 | Anode of Diode 3 | Third isolated anode terminal - allows triple-rail protection without shared current paths |
| C1 | Cathode of Diode 1 | Provides regulated 13 V output when A1 is grounded; used for precision voltage reference |
| C2 | Cathode of Diode 2 | Second independent cathode - supports redundant clamping or differential reference topologies |
| C3 | Cathode of Diode 3 | Third cathode node - enables simultaneous protection of three signal lines or supply rails |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple isolated Zener diodes | Three independent 13 V regulation elements in one package - eliminates board space and assembly cost vs. discrete solutions |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock - suitable for under-hood ECU use |
| Low Zener impedance (13 Ω) | Minimizes output voltage deviation under varying load currents - critical for ADC reference stability |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Meets strict environmental compliance (Br+Cl <1500 ppm, Sb <1000 ppm) - required for EU automotive OEMs |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating reference voltage for analog front-end circuitry in diesel ECU modules exposed to wide temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode array provides stable 13 V reference for op-amp biasing and ADC input scaling.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as overvoltage protector for MCU GPIO pins interfacing with VBUS sensing resistors. Use Value: Low 0.5 µA leakage at 9.9 V avoids loading the sense divider, maintaining measurement resolution down to ±1%. | Use Scenario: Generating stable bias voltages for low-noise amplifiers in portable ultrasound probe front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies clean 13 V reference to op-amps driving piezoelectric transducers. Use Value: 13 Ω Zener impedance ensures <10 mV output variation under 1 mA load changes - critical for SNR preservation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C13-7-F | Single 13 V Zener in SOT23; no multi-diode integration | Requires three separate placements for equivalent functionality; higher assembly cost and board area | Select when only one Zener is needed or when SOT23 footprint compatibility is mandatory |
| MMBZ5243BS-7-F | Same electrical specs but in SOT323 (single-diode variant); no triple-array configuration | Lacks integrated isolation - unsuitable for multi-rail clamping without external layout separation | Choose only if triple-diode integration is unnecessary and smaller single-diode footprint is prioritized |
Compared with BZX84-C13-7-F and MMBZ5243BS-7-F, MMBZ5243BTS-7-F uniquely delivers three isolated 13 V Zeners in one SOT363 package - reducing component count by 67%, minimizing PCB area by >40%, and eliminating inter-diode coupling risks in noise-sensitive analog systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation for MMBZ5243BTS-7-F?
The absolute maximum power dissipation is 200 mW at +25 °C ambient, derating linearly above 25 °C at 0.8 mW/°C per the published derating curve. This limit assumes mounting on FR4 PCB with Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout (AP02001), and accounts for thermal resistance of 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient.
How are the three Zener diodes arranged internally?
The device contains three fully isolated p-n junctions sharing no internal connection - each has its own anode (A1/A2/A3) and cathode (C1/C2/C3). There is no common cathode or anode; all six terminals are electrically independent, enabling flexible biasing configurations across separate signal paths or supply rails.
Is MMBZ5243BTS-7-F suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - this is a unidirectional Zener diode array optimized for forward-biased anode-to-cathode conduction and reverse-biased Zener breakdown. For bidirectional ESD protection, TVS diodes such as D3V3F1U2SO-7 or SP1003-01UTG are required; MMBZ5243BTS-7-F provides only clamping in one polarity direction per diode.
What does the "-7-F" suffix indicate in the part number?
The "-7-F" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging: 3000 units per reel, with lead-free (matte tin) plating and RoHS/REACH compliance. The "7" specifies the tape-and-reel format, and "F" indicates full compliance with Diodes Incorporated's green manufacturing standards, including halogen and antimony restrictions.
