Product details
Overview
PD3Z284C5V1Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 0.5W surface-mount Zener diode in PowerDI323 (Type B) package, rated for 5.1V nominal zener voltage at 5mA test current, with ±0.3V tolerance (4.8–5.4V), 60Ω maximum zener impedance at 5mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive power rail regulation and ESD protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PD3Z284C5V1Q-7 datasheet, PD3Z284C5V1Q-7 pinout, PD3Z284C5V1Q-7 application, or PD3Z284C5V1Q-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (250°C/W), low leakage (<2µA @ 2V), temperature coefficient (−2.7 to +1.2 mV/°C), and IATF 16949-certified manufacturing traceability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses planar die construction for stable voltage reference performance under transient load conditions. It operates across −65°C to +150°C, with 500mW power dissipation derated linearly above +25°C ambient per Fig. 1 - delivering ~300mW at +85°C.
The device exhibits low capacitance (~100pF at VR = 1V, f = 1MHz) and reverse leakage ≤2µA at 2V, enabling use in precision biasing and noise-sensitive analog monitoring nodes where low parasitic capacitance and tight voltage regulation are required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.1 V nominal at IZT = 5 mA; min/max 4.8–5.4 V ensures stable 5V rail clamping in automotive microcontroller supply monitoring. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 60 Ω max at 5 mA; low dynamic resistance maintains regulation accuracy during fast load transients. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TA = 25°C; derates to zero at ~150°C, supporting compact PCB layouts without forced cooling. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 250 °C/W on standard polyimide board; defines junction-to-ambient rise per watt, critical for thermal margin in sealed enclosures. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤2 µA at VR = 2 V; enables low-power standby mode integrity in battery-backed systems. |
| Temp. Coefficient (TCVZ) | −2.7 to +1.2 mV/°C; negative coefficient dominates near 5.1V, allowing predictable drift compensation in sensor bias networks. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI323 (Type B) - ultra-small surface-mount plastic package (2.50 × 1.25 × 0.30 mm), matte tin-plated copper leadframe, cathode band polarity marking, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path; establishes reference node for regulated voltage output. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Voltage clamp input | Connected to protected node (e.g., MCU VDD line); conducts when voltage exceeds 5.1V, shunting excess current to ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Enables repeatable zener voltage distribution and long-term stability under thermal cycling (−65°C to +150°C). |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics applications requiring PPAP documentation and change control. |
| PowerDI323 (Type B) footprint | 0.005 g weight and 2.5 × 1.25 mm outline allow high-density placement in space-constrained ADAS camera modules and infotainment ECUs. |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | UL 94V-0 rated molding material with <900 ppm Br/Cl and <1000 ppm Sb meets global environmental compliance mandates. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B5V1,115 | Same 5.1V nominal, but SOD-323 package (RθJA = 350°C/W), higher ZZT (90Ω), non-AEC-Q101. | Limited to commercial-grade consumer products; unsuitable for automotive thermal or reliability requirements. | Select when cost is primary and AEC-Q101/PPAP not required. |
| MMSZ5222BS-7-F | 5.1V nominal, SOD-123 package, RθJA = 300°C/W, ZZT = 60Ω, AEC-Q101 qualified but no IATF 16949 facility certification stated. | Acceptable for industrial control, but lacks documented PPAP capability and automotive change control process. | Select when AEC-Q101 suffices but full automotive production traceability is not mandated. |
Compared with BZX384-B5V1,115 and MMSZ5222BS-7-F, PD3Z284C5V1Q-7 delivers superior thermal performance (250°C/W), guaranteed PPAP support, and IATF 16949 manufacturing - making it the only choice for safety-critical automotive ECU voltage supervision where supply chain continuity and audit readiness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for PD3Z284C5V1Q-7 at 2V?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 2 µA at VR = 2 V and TA = +25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains ≤5 µA up to +125°C per thermal derating curves, ensuring reliable operation in battery-powered sensor nodes where standby current must stay below 10 µA.
Is PD3Z284C5V1Q-7 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - the device uses matte tin annealed terminals over copper leadframe and is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C per JEDEC J-STD-020, with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), fully compliant with IPC-J-STD-020D and RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU).
Does PD3Z284C5V1Q-7 have a specified total capacitance value?
Yes - total capacitance is 100 pF typical at VR = 1 V and f = 1 MHz, as shown in Figure 4 of DS43436. This low capacitance supports use in high-frequency analog sensing circuits without introducing phase shift or signal attenuation in 100kHz–1MHz bandwidth applications.
Can PD3Z284C5V1Q-7 be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and mismatched VZ tolerances, causing current hogging when paralleled. The datasheet does not recommend parallel operation; instead, select a single higher-power Zener (e.g., PD3Z284C5V1Q-13 with 1W rating) or use an active shunt regulator for >500mW requirements.
