Product details
Overview
MMBZ5245BS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-isolated 15 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-363 package, rated for 8.5 mA test current and 16 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog sensor interfaces and portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5245BS-7 datasheet, MMBZ5245BS-7 pinout, MMBZ5245BS-7 application, or MMBZ5245BS-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (15 V), max reverse leakage (0.1 μA at 11 V), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and dual-diode isolation in ultra-small SOT-363 for space-constrained biasing and clamping circuits.
Technical Context
This dual-Zener device integrates two independent 15 V Zener junctions in a single SOT-363 package, enabling bidirectional clamping or split-rail reference generation without external pairing. Each diode operates with tight tolerance (±5%: 14.25–15.75 V) and exhibits low leakage (≤0.1 μA at VR = 11 V).
Its planar die construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics across -65°C to +150°C, and the 200 mW power rating supports continuous regulation under low-current conditions typical in signal conditioning and ADC reference stabilization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nom) | 15 V - precise DC reference point for analog circuit biasing and feedback loops |
| Zener Voltage Range | 14.25–15.75 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping threshold in ESD protection |
| Test Current (IZT) | 8.5 mA - operating point where Zener voltage and impedance are specified |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω at 1 kHz - low dynamic resistance maintains stable voltage under small-signal load variation |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 0.1 μA at 11 V - negligible standby current for battery-powered sensor nodes |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - limits thermal rise on FR4 PCB with recommended pad layout |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W - defines junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt under natural convection |
Pinout & Package
SOT-363 (SC-70-6) plastic surface-mount package with six terminals: two anodes (A1, A2), two cathodes (C1, C2), and two no-connect (NC) pins. Dual isolated structure enables independent use of each Zener pair.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Cathode of Zener 1 | Connected to regulated output node for forward-biased clamping or reverse-biased reference |
| A1 | Anode of Zener 1 | Ground or lower-potential rail connection for standard Zener operation |
| C2 | Cathode of Zener 2 | Enables second independent 15 V reference or bidirectional transient suppression |
| A2 | Anode of Zener 2 | Allows separate biasing path; supports differential or complementary clamping topologies |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded internal terminal; must remain unconnected in PCB layout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C15LT1G | Single 15 V Zener, SOT-23, 300 mW, 30 Ω Zzt | Lacks dual-diode integration; requires two devices for same functionality | Preferred when higher power margin or legacy SOT-23 footprint is required |
| MMBZ5245B-7-F | Same electrical specs but in SOT-23-3 (single Zener), no dual isolation | Cannot provide independent dual-clamp paths; unsuitable for differential protection | Select only if board space allows separate placement and thermal decoupling is not critical |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for MMBZ5245BS-7?
The nominal Zener voltage is 15 V with a guaranteed range of 14.25 V to 15.75 V at 8.5 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this band; operation below 14.25 V yields minimal conduction (<0.1 μA at 11 V), confirming sharp knee behavior essential for precision reference use.
Can both Zener diodes in MMBZ5245BS-7 be used simultaneously without interference?
Yes-the device features fully isolated junctions with separate anode and cathode terminals (A1/C1 and A2/C2). Electrical and thermal coupling between diodes is negligible, enabling concurrent use in independent circuits such as dual-rail clamping or redundant reference paths.
Is MMBZ5245BS-7 suitable for automotive applications per AEC-Q200?
No-MMBZ5245BS-7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it operates from -65°C to +150°C and meets RoHS/green requirements, Diodes Incorporated does not list this part in its AEC-Q200 stress-tested portfolio; automotive designs require verified qualified alternatives like BZX84-A15Q.
How does the SOT-363 package affect thermal performance compared to SOT-23?
SOT-363 has higher thermal resistance (625 °C/W) than typical SOT-23 variants (~300–400 °C/W) due to smaller copper pad area and thinner leadframe. Derating is required above 70°C ambient; full 200 mW dissipation is only valid at TA ≤ 25°C with recommended FR4 pad layout per AP02001.
