Product details
Overview
PD3Z284C3V3-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in PowerDI™323 package, with ±0.2 V tolerance at 5 mA test current, 95 Ω maximum Zener impedance, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power biasing and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PD3Z284C3V3-7 datasheet, PD3Z284C3V3-7 pinout, PD3Z284C3V3-7 application, or PD3Z284C3V3-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (3.3 V), power rating (500 mW), thermal resistance (250 °C/W), and compliance with AEC-Q101 for harsh-environment deployment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or supply conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low leakage, with a temperature coefficient of –3.5 mV/°C near 3.3 V.
The device is rated for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C and exhibits 1.0 µA maximum reverse current at 1.0 V, supporting low-quiescent-current designs. Its ultra-small PowerDI323 footprint enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance via optimized pad layout per AP02001.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| D3Z3V3BF-7 | Same 3.3 V rating, 500 mW, but in SOD-323 package; slightly higher ZZT (110 Ω) | Larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-dense automotive modules | Prefer when legacy SOD-323 layout compatibility is required over space savings |
| BZX384-C3V3,115 | 3.3 V, 300 mW, SOD-323; lower power rating and higher ZZT (150 Ω) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to commercial-grade applications | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 500 mW headroom is unnecessary |
Compared with D3Z3V3BF-7 and BZX384-C3V3,115, PD3Z284C3V3-7 offers superior thermal performance (250 °C/W vs. ≥300 °C/W), tighter voltage tolerance, and automotive qualification-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for PD3Z284C3V3-7 at 1.0 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 5 µA at VR = 1.0 V and TA = +25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of DS32239 Rev. 10–3. This low leakage supports energy-efficient bias networks in always-on subsystems.
Is PD3Z284C3V3-7 suitable for reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes - the device is qualified to Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020D and features matte tin-plated terminals compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles. No pre-baking is required prior to assembly.
Does PD3Z284C3V3-7 have a defined temperature coefficient, and how does it affect regulation accuracy?
Yes - its temperature coefficient is –3.5 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA. Over a –40 °C to +125 °C range, this results in approximately ±0.58 V total drift, which must be accounted for in high-accuracy reference designs using external compensation or calibration.
Why is PD3Z284C3V3-7 marked as "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS" in the datasheet?
Diodes Incorporated recommends migrating to the newer D3ZxxBF series due to enhanced process control, tighter parametric distribution, and improved long-term stability. PD3Z284C3V3-7 remains fully supported for existing designs and legacy production, with no obsolescence timeline published.
