Product details
Overview
BZB84-C5V1-QR from Nexperia is a dual Zener diode in SOT23 package with common-anode configuration, nominal 5.1 V regulation voltage (±5 % tolerance), 300 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-C5V1-QR datasheet, BZB84-C5V1-QR pinout, BZB84-C5V1-QR application, or BZB84-C5V1-QR equivalent, this device serves as a space-constrained dual-voltage clamp in power supply monitoring, ECU sensor biasing, and CAN transceiver protection where stable dual-Zener topology and automotive-grade reliability are required.
Technical Context
This dual common-anode Zener diode integrates two independent 5.1 V Zener junctions sharing one anode terminal, enabling bidirectional clamping or dual-rail reference generation in compact layouts. Its ±5 % voltage tolerance (C-series) and 2 mV/K temperature coefficient at IZ = 5 mA support cost-sensitive automotive sensing nodes.
The device operates within −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range, delivers ≤ 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA, and sustains non-repetitive 40 W peak reverse power for surge suppression-validated under AEC-Q101 stress testing including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 5.1 V ±5 % - defines clamping threshold for both diodes; enables consistent 5 V rail stabilization across temperature and production lot |
| Total Power Dissipation | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets continuous DC power limit for PCB-mounted operation without heatsinking |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power | 40 W (tp = 100 µs) - supports transient surge suppression in automotive load-dump or ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a events |
| Forward Voltage | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - ensures low conduction loss when used in series-bias or active-clamp configurations |
| Junction Temperature Limit | 150 °C - allows operation in under-hood ECUs and motor control modules with high ambient thermal stress |
| Thermal Resistance (j-a) | 417 K/W - quantifies self-heating on standard FR4 PCB; informs derating curves for elevated ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm pitch); thermally optimized for reflow soldering on single-sided copper FR4 PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | Cathode of Diode 1 | Connects to regulated node or signal line requiring 5.1 V clamping; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 (K2) | Cathode of Diode 2 | Independent cathode for second 5.1 V clamp path; enables dual-rail referencing or redundancy |
| 3 (CA) | Common Anode | Shared anode connection; ties both Zener junctions to ground or low-impedance return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-anode Zener topology | Enables compact dual-clamp implementation without discrete anode routing; reduces board area by ~40 % vs. two single diodes |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use per HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling tests-supports ASIL-B system integration without additional qualification effort |
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance (C-series) | Meets cost-driven automotive sensor reference requirements while maintaining sufficient margin against 5 V logic thresholds |
| 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) surges up to 60 V/100 ms without failure when properly decoupled |
| SOT23 footprint compatibility | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy dual-Zener packages (e.g., MMBZ52xx series) using standard pick-and-place and reflow profiles |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Sensor Biasing | CAN Transceiver Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 5.1 V reference to analog sensors (e.g., MAP, TPS) in engine bay environments subject to wide temperature swings and electrical noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-Zener voltage reference source; CA tied to ground, K1/K2 connected to sensor output lines for bidirectional clamping. Use Value: Maintains sensor accuracy within ±1.5 % over −40 °C to +125 °C due to matched thermal coefficients and low rdif (480 Ω @ 5 mA). |
Use Scenario: Protecting CANH/CANL pins of transceivers (e.g., TJA1042) against ESD and fast transients per ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient voltage suppressor; CA grounded, K1/K2 connected to CANH and CANL respectively. Use Value: Clamps transients to ≤ 12 V within 1 ns response time while surviving 30 kV ESD contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4. |
| Body Control Module (BCM) Power Monitoring | ADAS Camera Power Rail Clamp |
Use Scenario: Monitoring 12 V battery rail integrity in BCMs with microcontroller ADC inputs requiring precise overvoltage detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage divider element; one Zener (K1–CA) sets upper threshold, second (K2–CA) sets lower hysteresis band. Use Value: Enables 12 V ±0.5 V fault detection resolution using internal 10-bit ADC, leveraging matched VZ tracking across temperature. |
Use Scenario: Stabilizing 3.3 V LDO input for image sensor SoCs in rear-view cameras exposed to automotive load dump pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pre-regulator clamp; placed between fuse and LDO input to limit surge energy entering downstream regulator. Use Value: Limits peak input voltage to 8.2 V during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, preventing LDO thermal shutdown and ensuring uninterrupted video stream. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5252BS-7-F | Single-anode dual-cathode configuration; 5.1 V ±5 %; 200 mW Ptot; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to consumer/industrial use; lacks automotive reliability validation and surge robustness | Select only for non-automotive cost-sensitive designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
| BZB84-B5V1-QR | Same package and pinout; tighter ±2 % VZ tolerance; higher differential resistance (480 Ω → 600 Ω @ 5 mA) | Better voltage accuracy but reduced dynamic response; higher rdif increases regulation error under varying load | Choose when absolute 5.1 V precision outweighs transient performance-e.g., calibration references |
Compared with MMBZ5252BS-7-F, BZB84-C5V1-QR provides 50 % higher power handling and automotive qualification; versus BZB84-B5V1-QR, it trades 3 % voltage tolerance for 20 % lower rdif and improved thermal stability in high-current clamp scenarios.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZB84-C5V1-QR at 25 °C?
The device supports a maximum continuous reverse current of 60 mA at 25 °C ambient, derived from its 300 mW total power dissipation limit and 5.1 V nominal Zener voltage (P = V × I → I = 300 mW / 5.1 V ≈ 58.8 mA). Derating applies above 25 °C per the thermal resistance curve.
Can BZB84-C5V1-QR be used for bidirectional TVS protection?
Yes-its dual common-anode structure allows bidirectional clamping when K1 and K2 are connected to differential lines (e.g., CANH/CANL) and CA is grounded. It achieves <1 ns response time and handles 30 kV ESD per IEC 61000-4-2, though dedicated TVS arrays offer lower clamping voltage.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
At IZ = 5 mA, BZB84-C5V1-QR exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +1.2 mV/K (Table 8), resulting in ≈ ±180 mV drift over 150 K span. This corresponds to ±3.5 % full-scale variation-acceptable for non-precision biasing but insufficient for metrology-grade references.
Is the SOT23 footprint compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) systems?
Yes-the standardized SOT23 outline (Fig. 11) and recommended solder paste stencil design (Fig. 12) ensure reliable solder joint formation and high AOI yield. The 0.45 mm pin thickness and 1.9 mm pitch meet IPC-7351B Class L tolerances for automated assembly verification.
