Product details
Overview
BZX284-B27,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a SOD110 ceramic SMD package, rated for 27 V nominal working voltage at 2 mA test current, 400 mW total power dissipation, and 35 Ω typical differential resistance - used for precision low-power voltage reference and overvoltage protection in sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX284-B27,115 datasheet, BZX284-B27,115 pinout, BZX284-B27,115 application, or BZX284-B27,115 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, package dimensions, reverse leakage limits, temperature coefficient data, and real-world selection guidance for stable voltage regulation in space-constrained PCB designs.
Technical Context
The BZX284-B27,115 operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown at 27 V, optimized for low-current regulation (IZtest = 2 mA) and minimal dynamic impedance (35 Ω typ.). Its SOD110 package enables high thermal resistance (315 K/W junction-to-ambient) on standard FR-4 PCBs.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +8 mV/K at 2 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks. Reverse leakage remains ≤50 nA at VR = 0.7 × VZnom (18.9 V), supporting low-power standby operation in battery-backed systems.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and test condition for BZX284-B27,115?
The BZX284-B27,115 has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V measured at a test current (IZtest) of 2 mA. This value falls within the ±2% tolerance band (26.5 V to 27.5 V), and the device's differential resistance is specified at this same condition to ensure consistent regulation performance in precision analog circuits.
What package type does BZX284-B27,115 use and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
BZX284-B27,115 uses the SOD110 ceramic surface-mount package, measuring 2.10 mm × 1.40 mm × 1.60 mm. Its compact size supports high-density PCB layouts, and the ceramic body provides superior moisture resistance and thermal stability compared to plastic-packaged Zeners - critical for automotive and industrial deployments.
How does the temperature coefficient of BZX284-B27,115 affect its regulation accuracy over temperature?
The BZX284-B27,115 has a temperature coefficient of +8 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 8 mV per degree Celsius rise. This predictable positive drift allows designers to compensate for thermal effects in reference networks - for example, offsetting −2 mV/K op-amp input bias drift in sensor signal chains.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZX284-B27,115 and at what voltage is it specified?
The maximum reverse leakage current for BZX284-B27,115 is 50 nA, specified at VR = 0.7 × VZnom = 18.9 V. This ultra-low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on subsystems such as real-time clocks, wake-up comparators, and battery-monitoring circuits where standby current must remain below 100 nA.
Can BZX284-B27,115 be used in place of BZX284-C27 for improved voltage accuracy?
Yes - BZX284-B27,115 replaces BZX284-C27 when ±2% voltage accuracy is required instead of ±5%. Both share identical SOD110 packaging and thermal characteristics, but the B-series part delivers tighter regulation tolerance and lower differential resistance (35 Ω vs. 250 Ω typical), making BZX284-B27,115 preferable for precision reference and low-drift biasing applications.
