Product details
Overview
BZB784-C4V7-Q from Nexperia is a dual Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, configured as two cathodes sharing a common anode. It delivers 4.7 V ±5% nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 425 Ω typical differential resistance and 3 µA reverse current at 1 V, used for precision low-power voltage reference and ESD protection in automotive signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the BZB784-C4V7-Q datasheet, BZB784-C4V7-Q pinout, BZB784-C4V7-Q application, or BZB784-C4V7-Q equivalent, this device supports dual-channel clamping in space-constrained automotive ECUs, CAN transceiver biasing, and I/O rail stabilization where tight tolerance and AEC-Q101 qualification are required.
Technical Context
This dual-Zener diode integrates two independent 4.7 V regulation paths sharing one anode terminal, enabling bidirectional clamping across differential or complementary signal pairs. Its thermal resistance of 140 K/W (2 diodes loaded) and 150 °C max junction temperature support sustained operation in under-hood environments.
The device exhibits a −1.2 mV/K temperature coefficient at 5 mA and 300 pF capacitance at 0 V, making it suitable for low-frequency regulation and transient suppression without signal integrity degradation in 12 V automotive domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 4.7 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA - ensures stable reference within 0.235 V tolerance for sensor biasing and ADC reference scaling |
| Differential Resistance | 425 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - limits regulation error under load variation in low-current (<10 mA) circuits |
| Reverse Current | 3 µA max. at VR = 1 V - enables ultra-low leakage in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation | 350 mW max. at Tamb = 25 °C (2 diodes loaded) - supports dual-channel operation on standard FR4 PCBs without heatsinking |
| Thermal Resistance j-a | 355 K/W (2 diodes loaded, free air) - defines derating curve for ambient temperatures up to +105 °C in engine control modules |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - provides surge immunity against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a transients in automotive power nets |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mount package: 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm body, 1.3 mm lead pitch, FR4-compatible footprint per Fig. 5.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | Cathode of Diode 1 | Connects to regulated node or protected signal line requiring 4.7 V clamping toward common anode |
| 2 (K2) | Cathode of Diode 2 | Enables independent clamping of second signal path (e.g., complementary CAN_H/CAN_L or RS-485 A/B) |
| 3 (CA) | Common Anode | Single tie-point for bias supply or ground-referenced clamp return; simplifies layout in dual-rail protection schemes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensors |
| ±5% Zener tolerance | Reduces calibration overhead in factory-trimmed systems and enables tighter closed-loop feedback margins |
| Low 300 pF capacitance | Maintains signal integrity above 1 MHz in LIN bus and low-speed CAN interfaces without added filtering |
| Common-anode dual configuration | Eliminates need for two discrete Zeners and matching passives in differential signal protection layouts |
| 150 °C max junction temperature | Supports placement near heat sources in compact ECU modules without thermal derating penalties |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Biasing | CAN Transceiver Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5230BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 4.7 V ±5%, SOT-363 package, 200 mW total Ptot, higher rdiff (600 Ω typ.) | Larger footprint (2.2 mm × 1.35 mm), lower surge rating (25 W), not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and thermal performance requirements |
| BZX84-C4V7 (Nexperia) | Single 4.7 V Zener, SOT23, 350 mW, same VZ tolerance and leakage but no dual-cathode topology | Requires two devices and extra routing for dual-rail use; increases board area by 2.5× | Select only for single-channel applications where layout density is not constrained |
Compared with MMBZ5230BS-7-F, BZB784-C4V7-Q offers superior surge immunity and automotive qualification; versus BZX84-C4V7, it reduces component count and layout area by integrating dual regulation into one SOT323 device.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZB784-C4V7-Q?
The device is rated for 200 mA maximum forward current per diode under limiting conditions, but its primary operation is in reverse-bias Zener mode. Forward conduction is limited to brief surge events; sustained forward current above 10 mA risks exceeding thermal limits due to 680 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance in single-diode mode.
Can BZB784-C4V7-Q be used for bidirectional TVS protection?
No - it is not designed as a bidirectional TVS. Its common-anode configuration supports unidirectional clamping from either cathode to the shared anode. For true bidirectional protection, two devices or a dedicated bidirectional TVS array would be required.
How does the −1.2 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
At 5 mA, the Zener voltage shifts −1.2 mV per Kelvin rise; over −40 °C to +125 °C (165 K span), total drift is −198 mV, resulting in 4.502 V minimum regulation. This is within acceptable bounds for non-precision biasing but requires compensation in high-accuracy sensor references.
Is the SOT323 footprint compatible with reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes - Nexperia specifies a reflow footprint (Fig. 5) with 0.55 mm solder paste stencil openings and 1.325 mm pad length, fully compliant with J-STD-020D peak temperature profiles up to 260 °C for lead-free processes, validated for automotive-grade reliability.
