Product details
Overview
BZB84-B33-QR from Nexperia is a dual Zener diode in SOT23 package with common-anode configuration, rated for 33 V nominal working voltage (±2 % tolerance), 300 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It provides precision voltage regulation in compact space-constrained designs such as ECU power rail clamping and sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-B33-QR datasheet, BZB84-B33-QR pinout, BZB84-B33-QR application, or BZB84-B33-QR equivalent, key selection factors include its dual-diode topology, ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance at 5 mA, 45 pF capacitance at 0 V, and non-repetitive peak reverse current of 0.9 A - critical for transient suppression and dual-rail reference design.
Technical Context
This dual common-anode Zener diode integrates two independent 33 V Zener elements sharing a single anode terminal, enabling symmetrical clamping or dual-voltage reference generation from one footprint. Its differential resistance is 80 Ω at IZ = 2 mA, supporting stable regulation under moderate load variation.
The device operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient temperature, with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 417 K/W on FR4 PCB. Its temperature coefficient is +23.1 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, indicating predictable positive drift over temperature - essential for high-accuracy analog sensing circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VZ) | 32.3 V to 33.7 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 3.3 V logic rails and 33 V auxiliary supplies. |
| Tolerance | ±2 % (B-series) - ensures tight voltage matching between dual diodes for balanced reference or redundancy schemes. |
| Total Power Dissipation | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in low-power automotive modules without forced cooling. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current | 0.9 A (tp = 100 µs) - enables robust ESD/ISO 7637-2 pulse suppression in vehicle networks. |
| Diode Capacitance | 45 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - minimizes signal distortion in high-frequency sensor interfaces and clock line conditioning. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | < 0.05 µA at VR = 27 V - ensures negligible leakage in battery-backed circuits and always-on monitoring nodes. |
| Junction Temperature | 150 °C maximum - allows operation in engine compartment environments without derating below full power. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm pitch); 3-terminal configuration with gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | Cathode of Diode 1 | Connects to regulated node 1; reverse-biased during Zener operation to clamp or reference at 33 V. |
| 2 (K2) | Cathode of Diode 2 | Independent cathode for second 33 V path - enables dual-rail protection or split-supply biasing. |
| 3 (CA) | Common Anode | Shared anode connection; ties both Zener elements to ground or negative rail for bidirectional clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-anode Zener topology | Enables compact dual-channel voltage regulation or clamping in single SOT23 footprint - reduces PCB area by 40 % vs. discrete diodes. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD - suitable for ASIL-B subsystems without additional qualification. |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Ensures matched performance between dual diodes for differential reference generation or redundant sensing paths. |
| Low 45 pF capacitance | Maintains signal integrity in CAN FD and LIN bus termination networks where parasitic loading must stay below 50 pF. |
| 150 °C max junction temperature | Supports uninterrupted operation in under-hood ECUs exposed to sustained 125 °C ambient with internal self-heating. |
Applications
| Automotive ECU Power Rail Clamping | Industrial Sensor Bias Reference |

FAQ
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation for BZB84-B33-QR?
The device supports 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation at tp = 100 µs (square wave), with junction temperature held at 25 °C prior to surge. This rating enables reliable handling of ISO 7637-2 load-dump pulses without permanent degradation.
How does the common-anode configuration affect circuit implementation?
The shared anode (Pin 3) simplifies grounding in clamping applications - both cathodes (Pins 1 and 2) connect to protected nodes while CA ties directly to system ground or negative rail. This eliminates need for separate anode routing and ensures matched thermal coupling between diodes.
Is BZB84-B33-QR suitable for use in high-frequency signal paths?
Yes - with only 45 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz, it introduces minimal loading on signals up to 100 MHz. Its low differential resistance (80 Ω) also maintains sharp clamping edges, making it appropriate for CAN FD bus termination and RF front-end bias networks.
What marking code identifies BZB84-B33-QR on the SOT23 package?
The top-side marking is "PZ%", per Table 4 of the datasheet. This laser-etched code is standardized across the BZB84-B33-Q series and verifiable under 20× magnification during incoming inspection or rework verification.
