Product details
Overview
MMBZ5244ELT1G from onsemi is a 14 V, 225 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, with 9 Ω dynamic impedance at 9 mA test current, 0.1 µA leakage at 10 V reverse bias, and ±5% voltage tolerance. It regulates voltage in low-power analog rails, ESD protection clamps, and reference circuits for portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5244ELT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, SOT-23 terminal mapping, and validated alternative parts for voltage reference and overvoltage clamp designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its nominal 14 V Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 9 mA with temperature coefficient of +3.5 mV/°C (typical), enabling stable regulation across −65°C to +150°C junction range.
It features Class 3 HBM ESD rating (>16 kV), 225 W peak pulse power handling (8 × 20 µs), and 556 °C/W thermal resistance on FR-5 board - confirming suitability for space-constrained, high-density PCB layouts where transient suppression and precision biasing coexist.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C15LT1G | 15 V nominal, ±6% tolerance, 300 mW PD, 30 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Higher power but looser voltage tolerance and higher impedance; less stable under variable load | Select when wider voltage margin is acceptable and higher surge energy must be absorbed |
| MMBZ5243ELT1G | 13 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 9.5 mA IZT, 13 Ω ZZT | Lower regulation voltage with tighter impedance spec; better for 12 V system references | Choose for 12–13 V rail stabilization where lower forward drop and reduced thermal stress are prioritized |
Compared with MMBZ5244ELT1G, BZX84-C15LT1G trades regulation precision for higher pulse robustness, while MMBZ5243ELT1G offers improved low-current impedance at 13 V - making each suitable for distinct voltage-tier and stability-critical design points.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for MMBZ5244ELT1G?
The MMBZ5244ELT1G has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 13.3 V to 14.7 V at IZT = 9 mA and TA = 25°C, corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the nominal 14 V rating. This tolerance remains valid across the full −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range per datasheet specifications.
Can MMBZ5244ELT1G replace MMBZ5243ELT1G in a 13 V reference circuit?
No - MMBZ5244ELT1G is not a direct replacement for MMBZ5243ELT1G in a 13 V reference circuit because its nominal Zener voltage is 14 V (min 13.3 V, max 14.7 V), whereas MMBZ5243ELT1G is rated at 13 V (min 12.35 V, max 13.65 V). Using MMBZ5244ELT1G would raise the regulated voltage by ~1 V, potentially exceeding downstream IC absolute maximum ratings.
What is the maximum continuous reverse current MMBZ5244ELT1G can handle at 25°C ambient?
At TA = 25°C on an FR-5 board, MMBZ5244ELT1G supports up to 15.9 mA continuous reverse current, calculated from PD = 225 mW and VZ ≈ 14 V (225 mW ÷ 14 V ≈ 16.1 mA), with derating applied above 25°C at 1.8 mW/°C per the datasheet's thermal specification.
Does MMBZ5244ELT1G have a built-in capacitor or require external filtering?
MMBZ5244ELT1G is a discrete Zener diode with no integrated capacitance; its typical junction capacitance is <2 pF at 0 V bias. External RC filtering is optional and application-dependent - used only when high-frequency noise rejection is needed beyond the inherent bandwidth limitation imposed by its 15 Ω dynamic impedance and package parasitics.
Is MMBZ5244ELT1G qualified for automotive applications?
MMBZ5244ELT1G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; only the SZMMBZ5244ELT1G variant (with SZ prefix) meets AEC-Q101 requirements and PPAP capability for automotive use. The standard MMBZ5244ELT1G is intended for commercial and industrial applications per its datasheet classification and qualification scope.
