Product details
Overview
BZX284-C11,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a ±5% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD110 ceramic SMD package, rated for 11 V nominal working voltage at 5 mA test current, 400 mW total power dissipation, and 100 nA reverse leakage at 8 V, used for low-power voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained consumer and industrial PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the BZX284-C11,115 datasheet, BZX284-C11,115 pinout, BZX284-C11,115 application, or BZX284-C11,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% voltage tolerance, 25 Ω typical differential resistance at 5 mA, −2 mV/K temperature coefficient, SOD110 footprint compatibility, and 100 nA IR at VR = 8 V - all critical for stable biasing and precision clamping in battery-powered and signal-conditioning circuits.
Technical Context
The BZX284-C11,115 operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with controlled reverse breakdown behavior, optimized for regulation in low-current (<250 mA forward, <12 A non-repetitive surge) applications. Its junction temperature range spans −65 °C to +150 °C, and thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient is 315 K/W when mounted on a standard 11 × 25 × 1.6 mm PCB.
It belongs to the BZX284-C series (±5% tolerance), distinct from the tighter-tolerance BZX284-B variants. Electrical characteristics are specified at Tj = 25 °C, with differential resistance of 25–150 Ω (typ/max) and temperature coefficient of −2 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - enabling predictable drift compensation in analog reference designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for biasing or clamping circuits |
| Voltage Tolerance | ±5% - allows 10.4 V to 11.6 V variation; suitable for non-critical reference applications |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 25 Ω typ., 150 Ω max. at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 100 nA at VR = 8 V - ensures minimal quiescent power loss in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables use as low-drop rectifier or ESD clamp in bidirectional protection |
| Package | SOD110 ceramic SMD - 1.9 × 1.4 × 0.9 mm footprint ideal for dense portable PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
SOD110 is a two-terminal surface-mount ceramic package with cathode marked by a band on one end. Terminals are unidirectional: anode (A) and cathode (K). No internal bonding wires or multi-pin configuration - only two solder pads required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal in forward bias; connected to lower-potential node in Zener operation | Reference ground or return path during regulation; must handle up to 250 mA continuous forward current |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal in forward bias; higher-potential node during Zener breakdown | Connected to regulated voltage rail; carries reverse current during clamping; marked with band on package top view |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-profile SOD110 package | 1.9 × 1.4 × 0.9 mm ceramic body enables placement in tight spaces without thermal vias or heatsinking |
| Stable ±5% voltage tolerance | Guarantees 10.4–11.6 V regulation window across production lots - sufficient for cost-sensitive power rail monitoring |
| Low reverse leakage (100 nA) | Minimizes standby current draw in battery-backed systems and high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Controlled temperature coefficient | −2 mV/K at 5 mA enables predictable drift compensation in ambient-temperature-varying environments |
| 400 mW power rating | Supports sustained regulation under moderate load conditions without external derating circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5240B | 10 V nominal, ±5%, SOT-23 package, 350 mW rating, 100 nA IR at 7 V | Lower voltage and smaller thermal mass; less stable under pulsed loads due to higher rdif (30 Ω typ.) | Select when 10 V reference suffices and SOT-23 board real estate is constrained |
| Vishay BZX84-C11 | 11 V nominal, ±5%, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, 100 nA IR at 8 V, 40 Ω rdif typ. | Lower power rating and higher differential resistance reduce regulation accuracy under varying load | Choose for legacy SOT-23 compatibility where 400 mW headroom is not required |
Compared with MMBZ5240B and BZX84-C11, the BZX284-C11,115 offers superior thermal stability (315 K/W vs. ~400 K/W for SOT-23), tighter rdif (25 Ω vs. ≥30 Ω), and higher Ptot (400 mW), making it preferred for compact yet thermally demanding regulation tasks where ceramic SOD110 mounting is feasible.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and test condition for BZX284-C11,115?
The BZX284-C11,115 has a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V measured at a test current (IZ) of 5 mA, with a guaranteed range of 10.4 V to 11.6 V due to its ±5% tolerance. This value is specified at Tj = 25 °C and forms the basis for regulation accuracy in bias and clamping circuits using the BZX284-C11,115.
What package type does BZX284-C11,115 use and what are its dimensions?
The BZX284-C11,115 uses the SOD110 ceramic surface-mount package, measuring 1.90 mm × 1.40 mm × 0.90 mm with a cathode band marking. Its small footprint and ceramic construction provide excellent thermal stability and suitability for high-density PCB layouts where plastic packages may exhibit greater drift or moisture sensitivity.
How much reverse leakage current does BZX284-C11,115 exhibit at 8 V?
The BZX284-C11,115 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 100 nA when reverse-biased at 8 V, per the manufacturer's electrical characteristics table. This low leakage supports ultra-low-power applications such as battery-operated sensors and always-on monitoring circuits where the BZX284-C11,115 serves as a precision clamp or reference element.
What is the differential resistance of BZX284-C11,115 and why does it matter?
The BZX284-C11,115 has a typical differential resistance (rdif) of 25 Ω at IZ = 5 mA, with a maximum of 150 Ω. This parameter directly affects regulation accuracy: lower rdif means smaller output voltage change under varying load current, making the BZX284-C11,115 suitable for applications requiring stable voltage references despite modest current fluctuations.
Can BZX284-C11,115 be used in forward-bias applications?
Yes, the BZX284-C11,115 can operate in forward bias with a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.9 V at 10 mA and 1.1 V at 100 mA. This enables dual-use roles - such as ESD protection clamps or low-drop rectifiers - alongside its primary Zener regulation function, expanding design flexibility without adding discrete components to the BZX284-C11,115 circuit.
