Product details
Overview
MMSZ5228BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 3.9 V Zener diode in SOD-323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 20 mA test current, and 23 Ω maximum Zener impedance at IZT; used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5228BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5228BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5228BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5228BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (3.9 V), tight tolerance (±5%), low leakage (<10 µA @ 1.0 V), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and SOD-323 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or input conditions. It exhibits a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 V with ±5% tolerance (3.71–4.10 V), tested at 20 mA, and delivers 23 Ω dynamic impedance at that current-critical for precision regulation in low-current bias networks.
Its 200 mW power rating and 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance define safe operating limits on standard FR-4 PCBs with recommended pad layout. Reverse leakage remains ≤10 µA at 1.0 V, supporting low-quiescent-current designs such as sensor references and microcontroller reset circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.9 V nominal, 3.71–4.10 V range at 20 mA - sets precise clamping/reference level in feedback or protection paths |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits continuous regulation current to ~51 mA at 3.9 V on standard PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 23 Ω max at 20 mA - determines output voltage stability under small-signal load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤10 µA at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - requires derating above +25°C ambient; full power only at TA ≤ +25°C |
| Package | SOD-323 - 1.2–1.4 mm width, 2.3–2.7 mm length, 0.25–0.35 mm thickness - compatible with 0805-class pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal device in SOD-323 package: cathode marked by band; anode and cathode terminals defined by polarity marking, not numbered pins. Mounting follows JEDEC MO-203AA outline with 0.2–0.4 mm lead length (L) and 1.0–1.1 mm body width (B).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; establishes reference point for regulated voltage at cathode |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to supply rail or feedback node; maintains stable 3.9 V relative to anode when reverse-biased ≥1.0 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Enables tight Zener voltage tolerance (±5%) and repeatable breakdown characteristics across production lots |
| Lead-free & RoHS-compliant plating | Matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU without post-reflow contamination risk |
| SOD-323 surface-mount package | 0.004 g weight and JEDEC-standard footprint support high-speed automated placement and reflow soldering |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" status | Meets <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - satisfies stringent environmental compliance for industrial and automotive end equipment |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | Sensor Reference Voltage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in optocoupler-based feedback loop of isolated DC-DC converters to regulate output voltage. IC Role / Device Role: Zener reference element setting TL431 cathode bias or directly shunting error amplifier input. Use Value: 3.9 V nominal voltage and 23 Ω impedance ensure stable regulation within ±1% over 10–20 mA load range. | Use Scenario: Provides stable bias voltage for analog temperature or pressure sensors in battery-powered IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role: Low-leakage (≤10 µA) voltage reference source for ratiometric ADC excitation or op-amp offset trimming. Use Value: Minimal reverse current preserves battery life while maintaining 3.9 V accuracy for 12-bit sensor signal conditioning. |
| Microcontroller Reset Circuit | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |
Use Scenario: Connected between VCC and RESET pin to hold microcontroller in reset until supply reaches valid operating voltage. IC Role / Device Role: Precision threshold detector using Zener breakdown to trigger external reset IC or internal brown-out detection. Use Value: Tight 3.71–4.10 V range ensures reliable reset assertion at 3.9 V ±5%, avoiding premature release or latch-up. | Use Scenario: Placed across sensitive input pins (e.g., USB data lines or ADC inputs) to clamp ESD transients. IC Role / Device Role: Fast-acting shunt protector diverting surge current above 1.0 V before damage occurs to downstream ICs. Use Value: Low 1.0 V reverse leakage prevents signal distortion during normal operation while enabling sub-ns response to >3.9 V spikes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B3V9,115 | Same 3.9 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but SOD-323 package with 300 mW rating and 90 Ω ZZT | Higher power allows greater surge handling; higher impedance reduces regulation precision at low currents | Select when transient energy absorption >200 mW is required, accepting reduced voltage stability below 5 mA |
| MMBZ5228BS-7-F | Identical electrical specs and SOD-323 package, but dual-anode/dual-cathode configuration (dual Zener) | Shares same footprint but provides two independent 3.9 V references per package | Choose for space-constrained dual-reference designs (e.g., positive/negative rail monitoring), not single-device replacement |
Compared with BZX384-B3V9 and MMBZ5228BS-7-F, MMSZ5228BS-7-F offers optimal balance of regulation precision (23 Ω ZZT) and compact size for single-point voltage referencing, whereas alternatives trade impedance for power or integrate redundancy at no footprint gain.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The MMSZ5228BS-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 V with a guaranteed range of 3.71–4.10 V at 20 mA test current. Its reverse breakdown is specified to occur within this range; operation below 1.0 V reverse bias yields ≤10 µA leakage, and sustained voltage above 4.10 V risks exceeding power limits unless current is strictly limited by external resistance.
Does this part meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?
No, MMSZ5228BS-7-F is not AEC-Q200 qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (–65°C to +150°C) and RoHS compliance, but lacks the stress testing, lot traceability, and failure rate validation required for automotive-grade qualification. For AEC-Q200 applications, consider Diodes' AZ series or ON Semiconductor's 1N4730A-Q.
Can this Zener be used in place of a 3.3 V reference in a low-power sensor circuit?
No-its 3.9 V nominal Zener voltage is outside typical 3.3 V system tolerances. Substituting it would raise bias voltage by 18%, potentially saturating op-amps or exceeding ADC input ranges. For 3.3 V reference, use MMSZ5226BS (3.3 V) or a dedicated shunt reference like TLVH431.
How does the SOD-323 package affect thermal performance compared to larger packages?
The SOD-323 package has a high junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 625 °C/W, meaning even at 200 mW dissipation, junction temperature rises 125°C above ambient. This necessitates strict derating above +25°C and limits continuous use in enclosed or high-temperature environments-larger packages like DO-35 (300 °C/W) offer better thermal margin for sustained power.
