Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z9V1ST1G from onsemi is a 9.1 V ±3.8% Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation, 15 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and 0.5 µA reverse leakage at 6.0 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z9V1ST1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±3.8%), low-profile SOD-523 footprint (1.20 mm × 0.80 mm), AEC-Q101 qualification, 16 kV HBM ESD rating, and tight thermal coefficient (3.8 mV/°C).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with cathode-anode polarity, designed for reverse-bias regulation. Its 9.1 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with 15 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and 0.5 µA leakage (IR) at VR = 6.0 V - enabling stable clamping in low-power signal conditioning paths.
The SOD-523 package supports reflow soldering up to 260 °C and meets MSL 1 requirements. With −65 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature range and 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, it delivers reliable performance in thermally demanding handheld and automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.85 V to 9.23 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for protection circuits |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA - ensures minimal voltage deviation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA max at VR = 6.0 V - guarantees low standby power loss in battery-powered systems |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TA = 25 °C - supports continuous regulation without forced cooling on FR-4 PCB |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - provides robust handling during assembly and end-use in consumer devices |
| Temp Coefficient (dVZ/dT) | +3.8 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-varying applications |
| Capacitance (C) | 130 pF max at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - limits high-frequency noise coupling in RF-adjacent layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C9V1LT1G | Same 9.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW rating, SOD-523 package | Lower power rating limits use in sustained-clamp scenarios; higher ZZK (30 Ω) increases regulation error | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and thermal margin requirements |
| MMSZ5240BT1G | 9.1 V nominal, ±5%, 500 mW, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm) | Larger footprint incompatible with ultra-dense layouts; same thermal resistance but higher mounting mass | Choose only if existing SOD-123 land pattern must be reused and board rework is prohibitive |
Compared with BZX584C9V1LT1G and MMSZ5240BT1G, SZMM5Z9V1ST1G offers tighter voltage tolerance (±3.8% vs. ±5%), superior thermal performance in minimal area (SOD-523), and automotive qualification - making it optimal for next-gen portable and automotive edge nodes where size, accuracy, and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z9V1ST1G?
The SZMM5Z9V1ST1G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±3.8% around its nominal 9.1 V rating, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 8.85 V and 9.23 V when tested at 5 mA (IZT). This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the onsemi datasheet and enables accurate voltage clamping without post-production calibration. The SZMM5Z9V1ST1G achieves this spec using process-controlled doping and laser trimming during manufacturing.
Is SZMM5Z9V1ST1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z9V1ST1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the "Specification Features" section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. This qualification covers stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - confirming suitability for under-hood and cabin electronics where reliability is mission-critical. The SZMM5Z9V1ST1G meets these standards in its native SOD-523 package.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMM5Z9V1ST1G at 75°C ambient?
At 75°C ambient temperature, the SZMM5Z9V1ST1G's maximum power dissipation is 300 mW. This is calculated using the 4.0 mW/°C derating factor from the Maximum Ratings table: 500 mW − (75 − 25) × 4.0 mW = 300 mW. The derating applies to FR-4 boards with single-sided 1 cm² copper pads, per Note 1. Exceeding this limit risks thermal runaway and permanent degradation of the SZMM5Z9V1ST1G's Zener characteristics.
Does SZMM5Z9V1ST1G have a defined forward voltage specification?
Yes, the SZMM5Z9V1ST1G has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.9 V at 10 mA forward current (IF), as specified in both the "Electrical Characteristics" summary and footnote on page 2 of the onsemi datasheet. This parameter is consistent across the entire MM5ZxxxST1G/SZMM5ZxxxST1G series and reflects the diode's silicon junction behavior in forward conduction. While not its primary operating mode, this VF value matters for bidirectional ESD protection configurations where forward conduction may occur during negative transients.
What is the cathode identification method for SZMM5Z9V1ST1G?
The cathode of SZMM5Z9V1ST1G is identified by a polarity band (marking stripe) located at terminal 1, as shown in the "MARKING DIAGRAM" on page 4 and confirmed in the "Mechanical Characteristics" section. In the SOD-523 package, this band appears as a visible dark stripe near one end of the rectangular body. The datasheet explicitly states "PIN 1. CATHODE (POLARITY BAND)" - meaning correct orientation requires routing the banded end to the higher-potential node during reverse-bias operation. Misorientation renders the SZMM5Z9V1ST1G nonfunctional as a Zener regulator.
