Product details
Overview
PD3Z284C4V7-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 0.5W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 4.7 V (min 4.4 V, max 5.0 V at IZT = 5 mA), zener impedance ≤80 Ω at 5 mA and ≤500 Ω at 1 mA, reverse current ≤3 µA at 2.0 V, and temperature coefficient −3.5 mV/°C - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the PD3Z284C4V7-7 datasheet, PD3Z284C4V7-7 pinout, PD3Z284C4V7-7 application, or PD3Z284C4V7-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, low dynamic impedance at low test current, AEC-Q101 qualification, PowerDI323 package thermal performance, and cathode-band polarity marking for PCB layout verification.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage. It operates within −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range and delivers regulated voltage with ±0.3 V tolerance at 5 mA test current and −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient.
Thermal resistance is 250°C/W (junction-to-ambient, on recommended polyimide PCB), enabling 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient - derating linearly to zero at 150°C. Reverse current remains ≤3 µA up to 2.0 V, supporting low-power biasing in sensor signal conditioning circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.7 V nominal, 4.4–5.0 V range at 5 mA - ensures stable reference under production tolerances |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤80 Ω at 5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤3 µA at VR = 2.0 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current in battery-backed circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at 25°C - supports compact layout without forced cooling in space-constrained modules |
| Temp. Coefficient (TC) | −3.5 mV/°C - provides predictable drift compensation in automotive ambient ranges |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| D3Z4V7BF-7 | Same 4.7 V nominal, but lower ZZT (≤50 Ω @ 5 mA), higher PD (1 W), SOD-323 package | Higher power handling supports surge-tolerant designs; larger footprint requires layout revision | Select when >500 mW transient dissipation or tighter impedance is required |
| BZX384-C4V7,115 | 4.7 V nominal, ZZT ≤90 Ω @ 5 mA, 300 mW rating, SOD-323, AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower power rating limits use in sustained regulation; identical footprint enables drop-in replacement | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 300 mW suffices and footprint compatibility is critical |
Compared with D3Z4V7BF-7 and BZX384-C4V7,115, PD3Z284C4V7-7 offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 reliability, 500 mW capability, and ultra-compact PowerDI323 size - making it preferred for space-constrained automotive modules requiring proven thermal robustness.

FAQ
Is PD3Z284C4V7-7 suitable for new automotive designs?
No - Diodes Incorporated explicitly marks this part as "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS" and directs users to the D3ZxxBF Series. The PD3Z284C4V7-7 remains available for legacy program support and repair, but new designs should adopt D3Z4V7BF-7 for improved impedance, power rating, and long-term supply assurance.
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown in PD3Z284C4V7-7?
The specified zener voltage is 4.7 V nominal with a guaranteed range of 4.4–5.0 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown occurs sharply within this band; operation below 4.4 V yields negligible reverse current (<3 µA at 2.0 V), while voltages above 5.0 V trigger full conduction with dynamic impedance ≤80 Ω.
How does the PowerDI323 package affect thermal performance?
Mounted on a polyimide PCB with Diodes' recommended pad layout, the PowerDI323 achieves 250°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. This allows full 500 mW dissipation only at 25°C ambient; derating is linear to zero at 150°C, requiring thermal design consideration in enclosed or high-temperature enclosures.
Can PD3Z284C4V7-7 replace BZX384-C4V7 in existing layouts?
No - although both are 4.7 V Zeners in small packages, PD3Z284C4V7-7 uses PowerDI323 (2.5 × 1.9 mm), while BZX384-C4V7 uses SOD-323 (1.7 × 1.3 mm). Footprint and solder pad dimensions differ significantly; mechanical redesign is required for substitution.
