AZ23C6V8-TP

Overview

The AZ23C6V8-TP is a dual common anode Zener diode array manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device operates in an SOT-23-3 surface-mount package, measuring 3.04 mm in length, 1.4 mm in width, and 1.12 mm in height. It supports a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW and functions within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Key electrical parameters include a test current of 5 mA, a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA, and a Zener impedance of 8 Ohms.

Feature Summary

• Dual common anode configuration integrates two Zener diodes into a single compact package for space-constrained designs.
• Low Zener impedance of 8 Ohms ensures stable voltage regulation under varying load conditions.
• High thermal stability allows reliable operation across an extended industrial temperature range.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring precise dual-channel regulation.
• Clamping applications for protecting sensitive input lines from transient overvoltages.
• Signal conditioning stages in analog-to-digital converter interfaces.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and manufacturer documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and pinout configurations before integration. Ensure that the sourcing channel provides authentic components with traceable manufacturing data to prevent counterfeit risks. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history for any updates to mechanical dimensions or testing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener solution is required in an SOT-23-3 footprint. Compare the 8 Ohm impedance against circuit requirements for noise sensitivity. Consider the 300 mW power rating relative to expected peak currents and ambient thermal conditions to ensure safe operating area compliance during continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ23C series of dual Zener arrays from Micro Commercial Components. It shares the SOT-23-3 form factor with other variants like the AZ23C12-TP but differs in voltage specifications. The series is designed for general-purpose signal processing and protection tasks where board space is limited.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 6.8 V Zener voltage, dual common anode configuration, and SOT-23-3 package. Verify equivalent impedance and leakage current specifications to maintain circuit performance integrity without redesigning surrounding passive components.
