Product details

Overview

BZV55-C5V6,115 from Nexperia is a 5.6 V ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD80C glass SMD package, rated for 400 mW total power dissipation at T_amb ≤ 50 °C and 500 mW under specified mounting conditions, with 1 µA reverse leakage at V_R = 2 V, used for precision low-power voltage reference and regulation in analog sensor signal conditioning circuits.

For engineers reviewing the BZV55-C5V6,115 datasheet, BZV55-C5V6,115 pinout, BZV55-C5V6,115 application, or BZV55-C5V6,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (5.6 V), tolerance (±5 %), differential resistance (80–400 Ω at I_Z = 5 mA), thermal resistance (300 K/W junction-to-solder point), and non-repetitive surge capability (40 W, 100 µs).

Technical Context

This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals when biased above its nominal Zener voltage. It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −2.0 to +1.2 mV/K and differential resistance between 80 Ω (typ.) and 400 Ω (max.) at 5 mA test current.

Designed for low-power regulation, it delivers 5.6 V output with ±5 % tolerance, supports up to 250 mA forward current, and withstands non-repetitive reverse surges of 40 W for 100 µs pulses - validated under IEC 60134 absolute maximum rating conditions with T_j = 25 °C prior to surge.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Zener Voltage (V_Z)	5.6 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance (5.2 V to 6.0 V) - defines regulated output voltage range under 5 mA test current
Differential Resistance (r_dif)	80 Ω typical / 400 Ω maximum at I_Z = 5 mA - determines voltage regulation stability under load variation
Reverse Leakage Current (I_R)	1 µA maximum at V_R = 2 V - ensures minimal quiescent power loss in standby regulation
Total Power Dissipation (P_tot)	400 mW at T_amb ≤ 50 °C on ceramic substrate - sets continuous operating limit without forced cooling
Non-repetitive Peak Power (P_ZSM)	40 W for 100 µs square wave - enables transient overvoltage clamping in protection circuits
Thermal Resistance (R_th(j-sp))	300 K/W junction-to-solder point - informs PCB copper area requirements for thermal management
Forward Voltage (V_F)	0.9 V maximum at I_F = 10 mA - relevant for polarity-check or series-switching configurations

Pinout & Package

The BZV55-C5V6,115 is housed in a hermetically sealed glass SOD80C surface-mount package measuring 3.3–3.7 mm length × 1.45–1.60 mm width × 0.3 mm height, with cathode indicated by a visible band.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning

2	Anode	Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; completes bias path for breakdown conduction

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Hermetic glass SMD package	SOD80C construction provides moisture resistance and long-term parameter stability vs. plastic packages
±5 % Zener tolerance	Enables cost-optimized voltage reference where tight regulation is not required, e.g., supply rail monitoring
Low differential resistance	80 Ω typical value minimizes output voltage shift under ±1 mA load current changes
Non-repetitive 40 W surge rating	Supports transient overvoltage suppression in low-energy interfaces like I/O protection or reset circuits
Wide operating temperature range	−65 °C to +200 °C junction temperature allows use in industrial and automotive under-hood environments

Applications

Power Supply Reference

Sensor Signal Conditioning

Use Scenario: Providing stable 5.6 V reference for ADC biasing and op-amp feedback networks in battery-powered environmental sensors.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acting as shunt voltage reference, absorbing excess current to hold reference node at precise potential.

Use Value: Enables <1 % full-scale error in 12-bit analog measurements despite ±5 % V_Z tolerance due to post-calibration compensation.

Use Scenario: Biasing thermistor or RTD bridges in HVAC control modules where ambient temperature drift must be minimized.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise voltage reference source for Wheatstone bridge excitation, reducing common-mode offset drift.

Use Value: −2.0 to +1.2 mV/K temperature coefficient allows predictable drift compensation in firmware, improving accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C.

Overvoltage Clamp

Microcontroller Reset Circuit

Use Scenario: Protecting 5 V logic inputs from ESD or inductive kickback in industrial PLC I/O modules.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping device limiting input voltage to 5.6 V during transients, diverting surge current to ground.

Use Value: 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating handles 100 µs surges without degradation, meeting IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3.

Use Scenario: Generating clean power-on reset pulse for ARM Cortex-M0 microcontrollers in smart meter designs.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener-regulated threshold detector feeding RC delay network to reset pin.

Use Value: 1 µA max reverse leakage at 2 V ensures negligible loading on weak pull-up sources, preserving reset timing integrity.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
MMBZ5232BS-7-F	5.6 V ±5 %, SOT-323 package, 200 mW P_tot, 100 Ω r_dif (typ.), higher thermal resistance (450 K/W)	Lower power handling limits use to sub-100 mW applications; smaller footprint suits ultra-dense layouts	Select when board space is constrained and thermal load is light; verify R_th margin with actual PCB copper area
BZX55-C5V6	Same 5.6 V ±5 % spec, but in larger DO-35 glass axial package; 500 mW P_tot, 150 Ω r_dif (typ.), manual assembly compatible	Requires through-hole placement and wave soldering; unsuitable for fully SMT production	Choose for prototyping, repair, or legacy designs requiring axial components; avoid for high-volume SMT lines

Compared with MMBZ5232BS-7-F, BZV55-C5V6,115 offers 2× higher power dissipation and lower thermal resistance, enabling more robust regulation in thermally limited SMT layouts; versus BZX55-C5V6, it provides identical electrical performance in a smaller, automated-assembly-ready SOD80C package.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZV55-C5V6,115 at 70 °C ambient?

At T_amb = 70 °C, derating applies: P_tot drops linearly from 400 mW at 50 °C to 0 mW at 150 °C. Using the standard derating slope of 8 mW/°C above 50 °C, maximum continuous dissipation is 240 mW. This assumes mounting on a 10 × 10 × 0.6 mm ceramic substrate per datasheet condition.

Does BZV55-C5V6,115 meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?

No - BZV55-C5V6,115 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. The datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" and confirms no automotive testing or qualification was performed. For automotive applications, Nexperia's Automotive Qualified Zener series (e.g., BZX84-A5V6) must be selected instead.

How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?

With a specified SZ of −2.0 to +1.2 mV/K, the Zener voltage shifts by approximately −112 mV to +140 mV across that range - a ±2.5 % deviation relative to 5.6 V. This drift is predictable and compensatable in closed-loop systems using lookup tables or polynomial correction in firmware.

Can BZV55-C5V6,115 be used in series with another Zener for higher voltage reference?

Yes - multiple BZV55-C5V6,115 units may be stacked anode-to-cathode to achieve integer multiples of 5.6 V (e.g., two in series yield ~11.2 V). However, ensure matched units or derate total power by 20 % per added device to account for thermal coupling and parameter spread.
