Product details
Overview
BZX284-C39,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a ±5% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a SOD110 ceramic SMD package, rated for 39 V nominal working voltage at 2 mA test current, 400 mW total power dissipation, and 300 Ω typical differential resistance. It serves as a precision low-power voltage reference in power supply feedback paths, overvoltage clamping circuits, and analog signal conditioning stages.
For engineers reviewing the BZX284-C39,115 datasheet, BZX284-C39,115 pinout, BZX284-C39,115 application, or BZX284-C39,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 39 V Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), 300 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA, −25 mV/K temperature coefficient, 58 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, and SOD110 package thermal resistance of 315 K/W.
Technical Context
The BZX284-C39,115 operates as a reverse-biased silicon Zener diode with controlled avalanche breakdown at 39 V, optimized for stable DC voltage regulation under low-current conditions (IZtest = 2 mA). Its SOD110 ceramic package enables high thermal stability and minimal parasitic capacitance.
It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −25 mV/K at 2 mA, indicating decreasing Zener voltage with rising junction temperature - a critical factor in temperature-sensitive reference designs. The device's 58 pF junction capacitance at 0 V reverse bias supports use in moderate-frequency noise filtering applications without significant signal distortion.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the BZX284-C39,115?
The BZX284-C39,115 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its nominal 39 V regulation point falls within 37.0 V to 41.0 V at 2 mA test current. This tolerance aligns with the "C" series designation in the BZX284 family and is verified per NXP's 2002 product data sheet Table 2. The BZX284-C39,115 is intended for applications where moderate regulation accuracy suffices, such as non-critical biasing or overvoltage protection.
What package type does the BZX284-C39,115 use and what are its dimensions?
The BZX284-C39,115 uses the SOD110 package - a very small ceramic rectangular surface-mount outline measuring 2.10 mm × 1.40 mm × 1.60 mm (length × width × height). Per NXP's package drawing (issue date 97-04-14), it features a cathode identifier band on the top surface and is optimized for high thermal stability and moisture resistance. This differs from plastic SOT-23 or SOD-123 packages used by many competing Zeners.
What is the differential resistance of the BZX284-C39,115 and why does it matter?
The BZX284-C39,115 has a differential resistance (rdif) of 40 Ω minimum and 300 Ω maximum at IZ = 0.5 mA and 2 mA respectively, with typical values around 300 Ω. This parameter directly affects regulation accuracy: lower rdif means less output voltage variation under changing load current. For the BZX284-C39,115, this value supports stable reference generation in low-current (<5 mA) applications like feedback networks or clamping circuits where precision matters more than raw power handling.
Does the BZX284-C39,115 have a positive or negative temperature coefficient?
The BZX284-C39,115 has a negative temperature coefficient of −25 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, meaning its Zener voltage decreases by approximately 25 mV for every 1 °C rise in junction temperature. This behavior is confirmed in NXP's Figure 4 and Table 2. The BZX284-C39,115's negative TC enables predictable thermal drift compensation when combined with forward-biased diodes or resistive networks in precision reference designs.
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current rating for the BZX284-C39,115?
The BZX284-C39,115 is rated for a non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) of 0.7 A at pulse width tp = 100 μs and ambient temperature Tamb = 25 °C prior to surge. This rating, specified in NXP's Limiting Values table, defines its transient overvoltage handling capability - sufficient for IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection and inductive switch-off spike suppression. Exceeding this value risks permanent junction damage.
