Product details
Overview
BZB984-C3V3,115 from Nexperia is a dual Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT663 package with nominal 3.3 V regulation, ±5% tolerance, 350 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, and 5 µA maximum reverse current at VR = 2.5 V - used for low-power voltage reference and ESD clamping in space-constrained consumer and industrial PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the BZB984-C3V3,115 datasheet, BZB984-C3V3,115 pinout, BZB984-C3V3,115 application, or BZB984-C3V3,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include common-anode dual-Zener topology, 425 mW total power dissipation (2 diodes), thermal resistance to solder point of 125 K/W, and SOT663 footprint compatibility with high-density routing.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Zener diodes sharing a common anode terminal, enabling bidirectional voltage clamping or dual-rail reference generation in a single ultra-small SMD package. It operates within a -55 °C to +150 °C ambient range and supports non-repetitive surge handling up to 40 W for 100 µs pulses.
The BZB984-C3V3 exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of -1.8 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, stable junction capacitance of 450 pF at 1 MHz and 0 V, and forward voltage ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - confirming suitability for low-voltage rail stabilization and transient suppression in 3.3 V systems.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5226BS-7-F | Single Zener (3.3 V), SOT-363 package, 200 mW Ptot, no common-anode topology | Requires two devices for dual-clamp function; higher board area and assembly cost | Select when only single-rail clamping is needed and space permits discrete placement |
| BZX84-C3V3,215 | Single Zener (3.3 V), SOT-23 package, 300 mW Ptot, no integrated dual-diode structure | Lacks shared anode; cannot provide matched dual-node clamping without external wiring | Prefer for legacy designs where SOT-23 footprint is fixed and dual functionality is implemented externally |
Compared with MMBZ5226BS-7-F and BZX84-C3V3,215, the BZB984-C3V3,115 delivers true dual-Zener integration in one SOT663 footprint, reducing layout complexity and improving matching between clamping paths - critical for differential signal protection and rail-to-rail reference generation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZB984-C3V3,115 on a standard FR4 PCB?
The device supports 425 mW total power dissipation when both diodes are loaded on a single-sided, tin-plated FR4 PCB per IEC 60134 limiting values. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient, with thermal resistance to ambient of 294 K/W for two-diode operation.
Can BZB984-C3V3,115 be used for bidirectional TVS protection?
Yes - its common-anode dual-cathode structure enables symmetrical clamping between either cathode and ground. With 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating at 100 µs, it meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 when combined with appropriate series impedance and PCB layout.
What is the forward voltage specification and how is it relevant in design?
Forward voltage is guaranteed ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA. This value matters when using the diode in forward conduction mode - for example, as a low-drop voltage shifter or precision clamp in low-voltage analog circuits where forward conduction occurs during signal excursions.
How does the -1.8 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy?
At IZ = 5 mA, the coefficient causes VZ to decrease by 1.8 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. Over a 125 K junction range (25 °C to 150 °C), this yields ~225 mV shift - meaning system-level thermal design must limit ΔTj to maintain regulation within ±2% of 3.3 V.
