Product details
Overview
BZB84-C11-QR from Nexperia is a dual Zener diode in SOT23 package with common-anode configuration, rated for 11 V nominal Zener voltage (±5 % tolerance), 300 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive voltage regulation. It provides stable reference and overvoltage protection in compact space-constrained circuits such as body control modules and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-C11-QR datasheet, BZB84-C11-QR pinout, BZB84-C11-QR application, or BZB84-C11-QR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-common-anode topology, 11 V ±5 % Zener tolerance, 85 mA non-repetitive peak reverse current, thermal resistance of 100 K/W to solder point, and automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This dual Zener diode integrates two independent Zener elements sharing a common anode terminal (Pin 3), enabling bidirectional voltage clamping or dual-rail reference generation from a single SMT footprint. Its design supports simultaneous regulation of two separate nodes at identical or asymmetric voltages within the 2.4–75 V E24 range.
Each diode operates with specified differential resistance (≤150 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), temperature coefficient (5.4–9.0 mV/K at 11 V), and low reverse leakage (≤0.1 μA at VR = 8.8 V), ensuring stable regulation across automotive ambient temperatures (−55 °C to +150 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 10.4–11.6 V at IZ = 5 mA; ensures precise 11 V regulation with ±5 % tolerance for supply rail monitoring |
| Total Power Dissipation | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C; defines maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current | 2.5 A at tp = 100 μs; supports transient surge suppression without device failure |
| Differential Resistance | ≤150 Ω at IZ = 5 mA; limits output voltage variation under load changes in reference applications |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤0.1 μA at VR = 8.8 V; minimizes standby power loss in battery-sensitive automotive systems |
| Thermal Resistance j-sp | 100 K/W; enables accurate junction temperature estimation using solder-point temperature in thermal design |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress test standard |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package: 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm lead pitch, 3-terminal configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | Cathode of Diode 1 | Connects to regulated node requiring 11 V clamping; polarity must match cathode-to-load orientation |
| 2 (K2) | Cathode of Diode 2 | Enables independent clamping of second circuit node; allows dual-rail or redundancy configurations |
| 3 (CA) | Common Anode | Shared return path for both Zeners; ties to system ground or negative rail in most implementations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-anode topology | Reduces PCB area by 50 % vs. two discrete SOT23 Zeners while maintaining independent cathode routing |
| ±5 % Zener tolerance (C-series) | Meets cost-optimized automotive subsystem requirements where tight voltage accuracy is secondary to robustness |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Guarantees operation over −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature with validated reliability for 15+ year vehicle life |
| Low thermal resistance (100 K/W j-sp) | Supports thermal-aware layout with direct copper pour under pins 1 and 2 for enhanced heat extraction |
| Non-repetitive 40 W surge rating | Withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a/5a transients without derating when used with appropriate series impedance |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating 12 V supply rails feeding microcontroller I/O and CAN transceiver biasing in door module electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual Zener provides redundant 11 V reference for ADC reference buffer and overvoltage clamp for LIN bus interface. Use Value: Eliminates need for two separate Zeners and reduces bill-of-materials count while maintaining fault-tolerant voltage supervision. |
Use Scenario: Stabilizing excitation voltage for strain-gauge bridges in factory-floor pressure transmitters operating from unregulated 24 V DC supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One Zener regulates bridge excitation; the other clamps amplifier input during ESD events on analog front-end traces. Use Value: Achieves <10 ppm/°C effective reference stability via matched thermal tracking of dual die in shared package. |
| Automotive Infotainment Power Sequencing | Consumer Appliance Motor Driver Protection |
Use Scenario: Controlling power-up sequence of display backlight IC and audio codec by generating clean enable signals from noisy 12 V battery line. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual Zener creates hysteresis window for brown-out detection and provides soft-start threshold for LDO control logic. Use Value: Enables deterministic power sequencing without external comparators or RC timing networks. |
Use Scenario: Protecting gate drivers in washing machine BLDC motor inverters from voltage spikes induced by inductive kickback during PWM switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One Zener clamps high-side driver supply; the other protects low-side bootstrap capacitor charging path. Use Value: Prevents driver latch-up and MOSFET shoot-through by limiting transient overvoltage to <13.2 V on both rails simultaneously. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5242BS | Single Zener (6.2 V), SOT363, no common-anode topology; 200 mW Ptot, ±5 % tolerance | Requires two devices for dual-rail use; lacks integrated thermal coupling between diodes | Select when only one regulated rail is needed and board space permits discrete placement |
| Vishay SMBZ5242-E3/52 | Single Zener (6.2 V), DO-214AA package; 500 mW Ptot, ±5 %, higher surge capability (100 W) | Larger footprint; unsuitable for dense automotive PCBs but preferred for high-energy industrial transients | Choose for legacy through-hole designs or where >40 W surge margin is mandatory |
Compared with BZB84-C11-QR, MMBZ5242BS requires duplication for dual functionality and offers no thermal coupling benefit, while SMBZ5242-E3/52 trades miniaturization for higher surge capacity-making BZB84-C11-QR optimal for space-constrained, AEC-Q101–compliant dual-rail regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZB84-C11-QR?
The absolute maximum forward current per diode is 200 mA, as defined in the limiting values table. However, sustained operation above 100 mA is not recommended due to thermal constraints-junction temperature must remain below 150 °C, and total device power dissipation is capped at 300 mW at 25 °C ambient.
Can BZB84-C11-QR be used for bidirectional TVS protection?
No-BZB84-C11-QR is a Zener diode, not a TVS device. It lacks the low dynamic impedance and fast response (<1 ns) required for ESD or lightning surge suppression. Its 100 µs surge rating applies only to non-repetitive transients and does not meet IEC 61000-4-2 or -4-5 standards for TVS applications.
How does the common-anode configuration affect PCB layout?
The common-anode (Pin 3) must be routed to a low-impedance ground or negative rail, while Cathode 1 (Pin 1) and Cathode 2 (Pin 2) connect independently to their respective regulated nodes. Thermal vias under Pins 1 and 2 improve heat transfer; avoid splitting the common-anode copper pour to prevent ground bounce between channels.
Is marking code UT% unique to BZB84-C11-QR?
Yes-UT% is the official marking code for BZB84-C11-QR per Nexperia's data sheet Table 4. It appears as laser-etched alphanumeric code on the top surface of the SOT23 package and distinguishes this 11 V ±5 % dual Zener from all other variants in the BZB84-Q series, including BZB84-B11-Q (UT% is not used for B-series parts).
