Product details
Overview
BZB84-C47-QR from Nexperia is a dual common-anode Zener diode pair in SOT23 package, rated for 47 V nominal Zener voltage (±5 % tolerance), 300 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage regulation. It delivers stable reference voltage in compact space-constrained designs such as ECU power rail clamping and sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-C47-QR datasheet, BZB84-C47-QR pinout, BZB84-C47-QR application, or BZB84-C47-QR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-Zener topology with shared anode, ±5 % VZ tolerance at IZ = 2 mA, 375 Ω typical differential resistance, and non-repetitive peak reverse current of 0.5 A.
Technical Context
This dual-Zener device integrates two independent Zener junctions sharing a common anode terminal (Pin 3), enabling bidirectional voltage clamping or dual-rail reference generation from a single footprint. Its design supports simultaneous regulation of two circuits requiring matched thermal tracking and identical packaging constraints.
Operating at 47 V nominal Zener voltage with 0.05 μA max reverse current at VR = 37.6 V, it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +42.0 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA and 375 Ω typical dynamic impedance - characteristics optimized for precision analog sensing and automotive-grade transient suppression.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 44.0 V to 50.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines clamping threshold with ±5 % tolerance for reliable overvoltage protection |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 375 Ω typical at IZ = 2 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage deviation under load variation |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +42.0 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA - enables predictable VZ drift compensation in wide-temperature automotive environments |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current IZSM | 0.5 A for tp = 100 μs - supports surge immunity against ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a transients in vehicle electronics |
| Forward Voltage VF | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - ensures low-loss forward conduction when used as clamp or level shifter |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55 °C to +150 °C - validated for under-hood automotive operation per AEC-Q101 stress testing |
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 1) | Anode-referenced Zener junction for first 47 V regulation path; connects to protected node 1 |
| 2 | K2 (Cathode 2) | Independent anode-referenced Zener junction for second 47 V regulation path; enables dual-rail use |
| 3 | CA (Common Anode) | Shared anode connection; ties both Zeners to system ground or reference potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-anode topology | Enables compact dual-voltage clamping without discrete component duplication or routing complexity |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics |
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance (C-series) | Provides cost-optimized regulation accuracy suitable for non-critical biasing and protection functions |
| Low 0.05 μA reverse leakage at VR = 37.6 V | Minimizes quiescent current draw in always-on automotive subsystems |
| Thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 100 K/W | Supports reliable heat transfer to PCB solder points during transient overload events |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current rating for BZB84-C47-QR?
The device has no specified continuous reverse current rating; its operation is defined by Zener test current IZ = 2 mA for parameter characterization. Continuous dissipation must stay within 300 mW total power limit, corresponding to ~6.4 mA average reverse current at 47 V - but actual safe operating current depends on ambient temperature and PCB thermal design.
Can BZB84-C47-QR be used in series or parallel configurations?
No - the dual common-anode structure prohibits series connection of the internal diodes. Parallel use of multiple BZB84-C47-QR units is not recommended due to mismatched Zener voltages causing current hogging; each unit must operate independently with dedicated current-limiting resistors.
How does the +42.0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit stability?
This positive coefficient means VZ increases linearly with junction temperature - useful for compensating negative tempcos in associated circuitry (e.g., op-amp input stages). At 100 °C ΔT, VZ rises by ~4.2 V, which must be factored into worst-case tolerance stack-up for precision references.
Is the SOT23 footprint compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) systems?
Yes - the standardized SOT23 outline (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm, 1.9 mm pitch) and defined solder paste stencil openings (0.6 mm × 0.6 mm pads per Fig. 12) meet IPC-7351B Class L requirements, ensuring reliable AOI detection of solder joint integrity and component placement accuracy.
