Product details
Overview
BZB84-B3V0-QR from Nexperia is a dual Zener diode in SOT23 package with common-anode configuration, rated for 3.0 V nominal Zener voltage (±2 % tolerance), 300 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive voltage regulation and clamping functions.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-B3V0-QR datasheet, BZB84-B3V0-QR pinout, BZB84-B3V0-QR application, or BZB84-B3V0-QR equivalent, this device serves as a space-efficient dual-voltage reference for rail clamping, overvoltage protection, and precision biasing in compact automotive ECUs and sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
This dual common-anode Zener diode integrates two independent 3.0 V Zener junctions sharing one anode terminal, enabling bidirectional clamping or dual-rail referencing from a single footprint. It operates with 5 mA test current and exhibits 95 Ω typical differential resistance at that condition.
Its temperature coefficient is 0.0 mV/K at 5 mA, indicating near-zero voltage drift across temperature for stable reference performance. The device supports non-repetitive surge handling up to 40 W (100 µs square wave) and operates within −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 2.94 V to 3.06 V at IZ = 5 mA - tight ±2 % tolerance enables accurate 3.0 V reference without trimming |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 95 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - low impedance ensures stable regulation under load variation |
| Reverse Current IR | 10 µA max at VR = 1.0 V - low leakage preserves battery life in always-on automotive modules |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sufficient for continuous regulation in small-signal power rails |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - handles ESD transients and load-dump spikes in automotive environments |
| Junction Temperature | 150 °C max - supports operation in engine bay and under-hood applications |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, and ESD testing |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package: 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm lead pitch, FR4-compatible footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | Cathode of Diode 1 | Connects to regulated node requiring 3.0 V clamping or reference; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 (K2) | Cathode of Diode 2 | Independent cathode for second 3.0 V Zener path - enables dual-rail or bidirectional clamp topology |
| 3 (CA) | Common Anode | Shared anode connection; ties both Zener junctions to system ground or reference potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-anode Zener topology | Reduces PCB area by 50 % vs. two discrete SOT23 Zeners while maintaining independent cathode control |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance (B-series) | Eliminates need for post-assembly calibration in 3.0 V reference circuits for CAN transceivers or ADC references |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Meets automotive stress test requirements including 1000-cycle temperature cycling and 1000-hour HTOL |
| Low thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) | 100 K/W from junction to solder point - improves power handling in thermally constrained layouts |
| 100 µs surge rating | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a transients without derating when used with appropriate series impedance |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Voltage clamping on LIN bus transceiver supply rail subject to load dump and battery reversal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-Zener clamps both positive overvoltage (via K1–CA) and negative transients (via K2–CA) using shared anode grounding strategy. Use Value: Prevents transceiver latch-up during 24 V load dump events while occupying only one SOT23 footprint. |
Use Scenario: Providing matched 3.0 V reference for dual-channel analog front-end in pressure/temperature sensor module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies identical, tightly-toleranced reference voltage to two independent ADC inputs via separate cathodes. Use Value: Ensures <1 LSB gain error between channels without requiring two matched discrete Zeners or external trimming. |
| Automotive Camera ECU Power Sequencing | USB-C Port Overvoltage Protection |
Use Scenario: Biasing reset supervisor IC requiring stable 3.0 V reference during cold-crank (5.5 V battery sag). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as low-current shunt regulator to maintain clean 3.0 V for supervisor enable input during brown-out conditions. Use Value: Maintains reset assertion integrity down to 2.8 V input due to low dynamic impedance and minimal knee curvature. |
Use Scenario: Clamping VBUS line against 20 V USB PD fault conditions in portable automotive accessories. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting dual-Zener limits VBUS to 3.0 V above ground and 3.0 V below ground relative to common reference plane. Use Value: Protects downstream USB controller ICs from destructive overvoltage without adding TVS capacitance that degrades signal integrity. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZB84-C3V0-Q | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %); higher max IR (10 µA → 20 µA); same VZ range and package | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision; less suitable for ADC reference or high-accuracy biasing | Select when budget constraints dominate and 3.0 V stability > ±50 mV is sufficient |
| MMBZ5226BS | Single Zener (3.0 V, ±5 %), SOT323 package; no dual-cathode capability; lower Ptot (200 mW) | Cannot implement bidirectional clamping or dual-rail referencing; requires two devices for equivalent function | Choose only if board space allows two devices and dual functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with BZB84-C3V0-Q, the BZB84-B3V0-QR offers tighter voltage control critical for reference accuracy; versus MMBZ5226BS, it delivers integrated dual functionality and higher surge robustness in the same footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive voltage management.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZB84-B3V0-QR can sustain at 25 °C?
The device supports a maximum continuous forward current of 200 mA per diode, but for Zener operation, the recommended DC test current is 5 mA. At this level, it maintains 2.94–3.06 V regulation with 95 Ω dynamic impedance. Sustained operation above 5 mA requires thermal derating per the 300 mW total power limit and ambient temperature.
Can BZB84-B3V0-QR be used for bidirectional ESD protection on a data line?
No - while its dual cathodes allow symmetrical clamping, it lacks the low capacitance (<1 pF) and fast response (<1 ns) required for high-speed data line ESD protection. Its typical capacitance is 450 pF at 0 V, making it suitable only for low-frequency power rail clamping, not signal-line protection.
How does the common-anode configuration affect PCB layout compared to dual discrete Zeners?
The common-anode pin (Pin 3) must connect to a low-impedance ground or reference plane. This eliminates the need for two separate anode traces, reduces loop area for transient currents, and simplifies routing in dense layouts - especially beneficial in multi-layer automotive PCBs where ground plane access is prioritized.
Is the 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating applicable to both diodes simultaneously?
No - the 40 W rating applies per diode, not per package. When both diodes conduct simultaneously (e.g., during bipolar surge), total dissipation must remain within the 300 mW steady-state limit. The 40 W surge rating assumes only one diode is active during the 100 µs pulse, with junction pre-heated to 25 °C.
