Product details
Overview
PD3Z284C3V9-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.9 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in PowerDI323 (Type B) package, with ±0.2 V tolerance at 5 mA test current, 90 Ω maximum Zener impedance, and 3 µA maximum reverse leakage at 1.0 V. It delivers stable voltage reference in low-power analog monitoring circuits and ESD-protected I/O clamping networks.
For engineers reviewing the PD3Z284C3V9-7 datasheet, PD3Z284C3V9-7 pinout, PD3Z284C3V9-7 application, or PD3Z284C3V9-7 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and direct replacement guidance for automotive and industrial power-rail stabilization designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses planar die construction to ensure tight voltage distribution and low dynamic impedance across its 3.7–4.1 V nominal range. Its 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is specified under JEDEC-standard PCB mounting conditions with recommended pad layout.
The device operates over –65 °C to +150 °C and exhibits a temperature coefficient of –3.5 mV/°C at 5 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in precision biasing networks. Reverse current remains ≤3 µA up to 1.0 V, supporting low-leakage voltage regulation in battery-backed systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-C3V9 | Same 3.9 V nominal, but 300 mW rating and SOD323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm) | Lower power handling limits use in sustained-clamp scenarios; smaller footprint saves board space | Select when board area is constrained and peak power <300 mW; verify thermal margin on thin PCBs |
| MMSZ4685 | 3.9 V nominal, 500 mW, but ±5% tolerance (3.7–4.1 V same), higher ZZT = 120 Ω max | Looser impedance impacts regulation accuracy under dynamic loads; identical AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable where cost is prioritized over impedance-critical regulation; confirm system ripple budget |
Compared with BZX384-C3V9 and MMSZ4685, PD3Z284C3V9-7 offers superior thermal performance (250 °C/W vs. ~300 °C/W), tighter Zener impedance (90 Ω vs. 120 Ω), and identical AEC-Q101 compliance-making it optimal for thermally demanding automotive and industrial environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for PD3Z284C3V9-7 at 100°C ambient?
At 100°C ambient, the device's power dissipation must be derated linearly from 500 mW at 25°C using the 250 °C/W RθJA. This yields 500 mW × (1 − (100 − 25)/250) = 375 mW maximum continuous power. Derating follows Fig. 1 in DS30702 Rev. 11-2.
Is PD3Z284C3V9-7 suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - PD3Z284C3V9-7 is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias voltage regulation. For bidirectional ESD protection, Diodes Incorporated recommends the D3V3M1U2S series TVS diodes, which feature symmetrical clamping in both polarities.
How does the –3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit accuracy?
The negative temperature coefficient causes the Zener voltage to decrease by 3.5 mV per °C rise above 25°C. Over a –40°C to +125°C range, this produces a total shift of –525 mV, requiring compensation in precision references via resistor networks or complementary diodes.
Can PD3Z284C3V9-7 be used in place of PD3Z284C3V9 without the "-7" suffix?
No - the "-7" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (3000 units/reel) and PowerDI323 (Type B) package revision. The bare part number PD3Z284C3V9 is obsolete; only PD3Z284C3V9-7 is currently manufactured and qualified per DS30702 Rev. 11-2.
