Product details
Overview
MMSZ5229BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 4.3 V Zener diode in SOD-323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, with nominal Zener voltage 4.3 V (min 4.09 V, max 4.52 V) at 20 mA test current, 22 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 5.0 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5229BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5229BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5229BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5229BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), SOD-323 footprint compatibility, and low-leakage performance at sub-breakdown bias.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under controlled current. Its planar die construction ensures consistent voltage regulation and low temperature coefficient, while the SOD-323 package supports high-density PCB layouts and automated reflow assembly.
It is characterized at 25 °C with 20 mA test current and exhibits 22 Ω Zener impedance at IZT, 2000 Ω at knee current (0.25 mA), and 5.0 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V - confirming suitability for low-current reference and protection roles where stability and low standby loss are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nom) | 4.3 V - precise DC reference point for biasing or clamping |
| Zener Voltage Range | 4.09 V to 4.52 V - ±5% tolerance band at 20 mA, enabling predictable circuit margining |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - limits maximum continuous Zener current to ~46 mA at 4.3 V |
| Zener Impedance | 22 Ω at 20 mA - low dynamic resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load shifts |
| Reverse Leakage | 5.0 µA at 1.0 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current in standby monitoring circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W - defines junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt, critical for derating above 25 °C |
| Package | SOD-323 - 1.7 mm × 1.3 mm footprint with cathode band marking, compatible with IPC-7351B standard |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal device in SOD-323 package: anode and cathode marked by a visible cathode band on the top surface. No internal bonding wires or multi-pin configuration - polarity must be observed during placement to ensure proper reverse-bias operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to lower-potential side of circuit; forms return path for Zener current |
| Cathode | Reverse-bias input / regulated output node | Connected to higher-potential rail; delivers stabilized 4.3 V when reverse-biased above breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Ensures tight Zener voltage distribution 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-solder contamination risk |
| SOD-323 mechanical outline | 0.004 g weight and 1.3 mm width enable use in space-constrained portable electronics |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No bake requirement prior to reflow - simplifies manufacturing flow for high-volume SMT lines |
Applications
| Voltage Reference for ADC Biasing | Overvoltage Clamp in Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 4.3 V reference to bias the input stage of a 12-bit SAR ADC in a battery-powered environmental sensor node. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown to generate fixed reference voltage independent of supply variation. Use Value: Enables <±0.5 LSB offset error over 2.8–3.6 V supply range due to tight 4.3 V tolerance and low 22 Ω impedance. | Use Scenario: Protecting a 3.3 V I²C bus line from ESD transients induced by nearby RF modules in a smart home hub. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance shunt clamp limiting voltage excursion to ≤4.52 V during fast-rising events. Use Value: Limits transient overshoot below IC absolute maximum rating (5.5 V) while adding <0.5 pF parasitic capacitance to preserve 400 kHz timing integrity. |
| Low-Power Microcontroller Reset Threshold | Current-Limited LED Biasing |
Use Scenario: Setting brown-out detection threshold for an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU running from a single-cell Li-ion battery (2.8–4.2 V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener + resistor divider generating hysteresis-free reset trigger at ~3.8 V. Use Value: Achieves deterministic reset assertion at 3.8 V (93% of 4.3 V nominal) with <1 µA quiescent draw from 3.3 V auxiliary rail. | Use Scenario: Biasing a red indicator LED in a medical wearable with strict current control and minimal component count. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series Zener providing constant 4.3 V drop to set forward current through LED and series resistor. Use Value: Maintains ±3% LED brightness across 3.0–3.6 V supply variation using only two passive components. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B4V3,115 | Same 4.3 V nominal, but SOD-323 package with tighter 2% tolerance (4.21–4.39 V); 300 mW rating | Higher power handling allows >60 mA Zener current; better for moderate-load references | Select when tighter voltage tolerance and higher power margin are required, and board layout accommodates identical footprint |
| MMBZ5229BS-7-F | Identical electrical specs and SOD-323 package, but dual-diode configuration (two anodes, shared cathode) | Enables dual-rail clamping or matched reference pairs; requires different routing and decoupling | Choose only if dual-Zener functionality is explicitly needed; otherwise not a drop-in replacement due to pinout mismatch |
Compared with BZX384-B4V3,115 and MMBZ5229BS-7-F, the MMSZ5229BS-7-F offers optimal balance of cost, availability, and 5% tolerance for general-purpose voltage referencing - whereas BZX384-B4V3,115 suits precision needs and MMBZ5229BS-7-F serves dual-channel designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for MMSZ5229BS-7-F at 25°C?
The device is rated for 200 mW power dissipation. At nominal 4.3 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum continuous Zener current of approximately 46.5 mA (200 mW ÷ 4.3 V). Derating is required above 25°C per the 625 °C/W thermal resistance curve.
Does MMSZ5229BS-7-F have a specified temperature coefficient?
While the datasheet does not list a numeric temperature coefficient, Figure 2 shows typical Zener breakdown curves across temperature, and the 4.3 V nominal value is specified at 25°C. For applications requiring TC data, Diodes' AP02003 application note provides characterization methods for Zener drift in this series.
Can MMSZ5229BS-7-F be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - it is a 4.3 V Zener diode with a minimum breakdown of 4.09 V. Substituting it for a 3.3 V part would result in failure to regulate at the intended voltage and potential circuit malfunction. Use MMSZ5226BS-7-F (3.3 V) instead for that voltage level.
Is the SOD-323 package of MMSZ5229BS-7-F compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the device is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020D with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, meaning it can be placed directly onto PCBs without baking and processed using standard Pb-free peak profiles (e.g., JEDEC Level 3, peak 260°C).
