Product details
Overview
BZV55-B5V6,115 from Nexperia is a low-power Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed glass SOD80C surface-mount package, rated for 5.6 V nominal regulation at 5 mA with ±2 % tolerance, 80 Ω typical differential resistance, and −2.0 mV/K temperature coefficient. It delivers stable reference voltage in low-current bias networks, power supply feedback paths, and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZV55-B5V6,115 datasheet, BZV55-B5V6,115 pinout, BZV55-B5V6,115 application, or BZV55-B5V6,115 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior under transient surge, SOD80C footprint compatibility, and validated alternatives for precision voltage reference design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 5.6 V output across a 1–10 mA working current range, with low dynamic impedance (80 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA) enabling tight regulation under varying load conditions. Its negative temperature coefficient (−2.0 mV/K) compensates for ambient drift in reference circuits.
The device supports non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation up to 40 W for 100 µs pulses and sustains continuous total power dissipation of 500 mW on a ceramic substrate. Reverse leakage remains ≤1 µA at VR = 2 V, ensuring minimal quiescent current draw in battery-sensitive designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 5.6 V at IZ = 5 mA - precise reference point for feedback and clamping |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - enables high-accuracy voltage setting without post-calibration |
| Differential Resistance | 80 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA - ensures <1% output deviation across 1–10 mA load variation |
| Temperature Coefficient | −2.0 mV/K - predictable, linear drift for compensated reference designs |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤1 µA at VR = 2 V - preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power | 40 W for 100 µs - withstands ESD transients and switching spikes |
| Total Power Dissipation | 500 mW on ceramic substrate - supports continuous operation in compact SMT layouts |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed glass SOD80C package: 3.3–3.7 mm length, 1.45–1.60 mm width, 0.3 mm height; cathode indicated by marking band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal during Zener operation |
| 2 | Anode | Ground or low-side return path; establishes reference potential for voltage clamp |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass SMD construction | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid environments |
| Low differential resistance | 80 Ω typ. ensures <50 mV output shift across 5 mA load change - critical for ADC reference stability |
| Controlled temperature coefficient | −2.0 mV/K allows predictable compensation when paired with positive-TC components |
| Two-tolerance series | ±2 % (B-series) and ±5 % (C-series) support cost-performance trade-offs in volume production |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in isolated flyback or buck-boost converters via optocoupler-coupled feedback loop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener reference sets error amplifier threshold; defines regulation setpoint independent of IC internal reference. Use Value: ±2 % tolerance and low rdif ensure ±1.5% overall output accuracy across line/load/temperature. |
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from transient overvoltage events exceeding 5.6 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp that conducts above 5.6 V, diverting surge current away from sensitive logic inputs. Use Value: 40 W non-repetitive surge rating absorbs 100 µs ESD pulses without degradation. |
| Reference Voltage Source | Current-Limited Bias Network |
|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 5.6 V reference for analog comparators, voltage monitors, or sensor excitation circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive voltage reference replacing active references where ultra-low noise is not required. Use Value: −2.0 mV/K TC enables predictable drift modeling; 1 µA leakage minimizes loading on high-impedance sources. |
Use Scenario: Generating fixed bias current for small-signal transistors or op-amp input stages using resistor-Zener network. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Sets base-emitter or gate-source voltage to establish DC operating point. Use Value: 500 mW power rating supports ≥10 mA bias current with margin; SOD80C footprint fits dense analog layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C5V6 | ±5 % tolerance, 100 Ω max rdif, same SOD80C package | Lower accuracy; suitable for non-critical biasing where cost dominates | Select when ±5 % regulation tolerance is acceptable and lower unit cost is prioritized |
| MMSZ5232B | ±5 % tolerance, 150 Ω max rdif, SOD-123 package (larger footprint) | Higher thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) ≈ 500 K/W vs. 380 K/W), less surge robustness | Choose only if SOD-123 is already standardized in layout and 40 W surge immunity is not required |
Compared with BZV55-B5V6,115, BZX55C5V6 trades accuracy for cost in non-critical roles, while MMSZ5232B sacrifices surge handling and thermal performance for package familiarity-neither matches the 5.6 V ±2 % / 40 W / SOD80C combination.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZV55-B5V6,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per limiting values table, but forward conduction is not its intended operating mode. In Zener regulation, it operates in reverse bias; forward voltage is specified at 10 mA (≤0.9 V), and sustained forward current above 100 mA risks thermal overstress due to 500 mW power limit.
Can BZV55-B5V6,115 be used in automotive applications?
No-this part is not AEC-Q200 qualified or tested for automotive use. The datasheet explicitly states it is "non-automotive qualified" and unsuitable for safety-critical systems. Automotive designs require parts with documented qualification, extended temperature validation, and failure mode analysis not provided here.
How does the −2.0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
This coefficient means output voltage decreases by 2.0 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. At 5.6 V nominal, a 50 °C rise causes ~100 mV drop. Designers compensate by pairing with positive-TC components or selecting operating points where drift cancels across the system.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for SOD80C mounting?
The official reflow soldering footprint specifies 2.30 mm × 4.30 mm solder lands with 4.55 mm overall pad length (Figure 7). Track width must accommodate 250 mA peak surge; thermal relief is advised for the cathode pad to manage heat during reflow while maintaining mechanical strength.
