QZX363C5V6-7-G

Overview

The QZX363C5V6-7-G is a quad common anode Zener diode array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It integrates four independent Zener diodes within a single SOT-363-6 surface-mount package, providing a compact solution for voltage reference and regulation tasks. The device features a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance of 5%. It operates with a test current of 5 mA and dissipates up to 200 mW of power. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA and a Zener impedance of 40 Ohms. The component is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, supporting operation across a temperature range from -65°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four Zener diodes in a single quad common anode configuration for space-efficient circuit design.
• Qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards for enhanced reliability in demanding environments.
• Utilizes a low-profile SOT-363-6 surface-mount package suitable for automated assembly.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring multiple stable potential levels.
• Clamping applications in automotive electronic control units.
• Over-voltage protection stages in industrial signal conditioning.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm halogen-free status or lead-free plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the SOT-363-6 package. Confirm that the AEC-Q101 qualification meets project requirements. Check for end-of-life status or alternative sourcing options due to potential supply chain variations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a multi-channel voltage reference is needed in a minimal footprint. The 5.6 V nominal voltage suits logic-level referencing. The AEC-Q101 qualification makes it appropriate for automotive systems. Compare the 40 Ohm impedance against load requirements. Consider the 200 mW total power dissipation limit for thermal management in dense assemblies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QZX363 series of quad Zener arrays from Diodes Incorporated. Similar variants exist with different Zener voltages, such as the QZX363C20-7-F (20 V) and QZX363C5V6-7 (5.6 V). The series shares the same SOT-363-6 package and common anode topology, allowing for pin-compatible design flexibility across different voltage requirements.
