Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-C4V7-QX from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 4.7 V nominal regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±5 % tolerance, 830 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It serves as a precision voltage reference or low-bias regulator in battery-powered sensor nodes and microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-C4V7-QX datasheet, BZT5250H-C4V7-QX pinout, BZT5250H-C4V7-QX application, or BZT5250H-C4V7-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.7 V Zener voltage at low 50 µA bias, 80 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, -2.7 mV/K temperature coefficient, 140 pF capacitance at 0 V, and cathode/anode terminal configuration in compact SOD123F.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage under low-current conditions, with specified characteristics at Tj = 25 °C and test currents from 50 µA to 5 mA. Its intentional minor leakage rise (per AN90031) supports fast switching and noise reduction in signal conditioning paths.
The device features a negative temperature coefficient of -2.7 mV/K across its operating range, enabling predictable thermal drift compensation in analog front-ends. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 150 K/W on FR4 PCB with tin-plated copper, supporting reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 4.47 V to 4.94 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines regulation window for low-bias reference stability |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | 80 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | -2.7 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for thermal design margining |
| Diode Capacitance Cd | 140 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity |
| Forward Voltage VF | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - sets conduction loss when used in forward-biased protection |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - establishes maximum continuous power handling on standard FR4 layout |
| Reverse Current IR | 3.0 µA at VR = 4.7 V - confirms low leakage for battery-critical standby modes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52-C4V7,115 | Same SOD123F package and 4.7 V rating but ±5 % tolerance only; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive environments requiring stress-tested components | Select when cost is prioritized over automotive compliance and thermal robustness is secondary |
| MMSZ4705T1G | 4.7 V, ±5 %, SOD-123 package; 500 mW Ptot, 100 Ω rdiff, -2.5 mV/K TC | Lower power rating and higher impedance limit use in high-accuracy or high-temp applications | Choose for legacy designs already using ON Semiconductor footprint, accepting reduced thermal margin |
Compared with BZT5250H-C4V7-QX, BZT52-C4V7,115 lacks automotive qualification and has identical electrical specs but no optimized leakage profile, while MMSZ4705T1G offers comparable voltage but lower power handling and higher impedance-making the Nexperia part preferable for AEC-Q101-compliant, low-noise, thermally demanding designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for BZT5250H-C4V7-QX?
The "C" suffix denotes ±5 % tolerance, meaning the measured Zener voltage at 50 µA test current falls between 4.47 V and 4.94 V. This tolerance is verified per production lot and documented in Nexperia's AEC-Q101 qualification reports, not derived from typical curves or extrapolation.
Can BZT5250H-C4V7-QX be used in forward conduction mode?
Yes-it exhibits 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA, consistent with standard silicon diode behavior. However, its primary design purpose is reverse-bias Zener regulation; forward use is limited to protection or clamping roles where 0.9 V drop and 200 mA absolute maximum forward current are acceptable.
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" benefit circuit performance?
Per Application Note AN90031, this controlled leakage enhancement reduces switching transients and broadband noise during turn-on/turn-off transitions. In practice, it improves signal-to-noise ratio by >6 dB in low-level analog references compared to standard Zeners with identical VZ and tolerance.
Is thermal derating required above 25 °C ambient?
Yes-total power dissipation must be linearly derated above 25 °C at 6.6 mW/°C, based on Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W. At 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable Ptot drops to 432 mW. This derating curve is validated per IEC 60134 and included in Nexperia's thermal characterization data.
