Product details
Overview
BZX284-C3V3,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a ±5% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a SOD110 ceramic SMD package, rated for 3.3 V nominal working voltage at 5 mA test current, 400 mW total power dissipation, and 350 Ω typical differential resistance - used for low-power voltage reference and overvoltage protection in compact DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX284-C3V3,115 datasheet, BZX284-C3V3,115 pinout, BZX284-C3V3,115 application, or BZX284-C3V3,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V regulation tolerance, 5 μA reverse leakage at 1 V, −2.4 mV/K temperature coefficient, SOD110 footprint compatibility, and suitability for space-constrained consumer and industrial power management circuits.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal passive voltage reference, relying on controlled Zener breakdown in silicon to maintain stable reverse-bias voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its regulation performance is defined at 5 mA test current with 3.23–3.37 V min/max range and exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −2.4 mV/K, indicating decreasing Zener voltage with rising junction temperature.
The SOD110 package enables surface-mount integration with minimal board area (1.9 × 1.4 mm footprint), while thermal resistance of 315 K/W requires attention to PCB copper area and ambient conditions to sustain rated power. Reverse leakage is tightly specified at 5 μA @ VR = 1 V, supporting precision biasing in low-current analog circuits.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the BZX284-C3V3,115?
The BZX284-C3V3,115 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with a ±5% tolerance, resulting in a guaranteed regulation range of 3.1 V to 3.5 V when tested at 5 mA reverse current and 25 °C junction temperature. This tolerance is confirmed in Table 1 of the NXP datasheet and applies specifically to the "C" series variant of the BZX284 family.
What package type does the BZX284-C3V3,115 use and what are its dimensions?
The BZX284-C3V3,115 uses the SOD110 ceramic surface-mount package, measuring 1.90 mm × 1.40 mm × 0.90 mm with a cathode identification mark. Its outline is documented in the "PACKAGE OUTLINE" section (page 8) of the NXP datasheet, and it is distinct from plastic SMD packages due to its hermetic ceramic construction and thermal characteristics.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for the BZX284-C3V3,115 and under what conditions?
The BZX284-C3V3,115 has a maximum total power dissipation of 400 mW at an ambient temperature of 25 °C, as specified in the "LIMITING VALUES" table (page 3). This rating assumes mounting on a standard 11 × 25 × 1.6 mm PCB; derating is required above 25 °C using the 315 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
How does the temperature coefficient of the BZX284-C3V3,115 affect its regulation accuracy?
The BZX284-C3V3,115 has a temperature coefficient of −2.4 mV/K at 5 mA test current, meaning its Zener voltage decreases by approximately 2.4 mV per degree Celsius increase in junction temperature. This value is measured and tabulated in Table 1 and directly impacts long-term stability in environments with wide thermal swings, such as industrial enclosures or automotive under-hood locations.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the BZX284-C3V3,115 and at what test condition?
The BZX284-C3V3,115 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 μA at VR = 1 V, as listed in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table (page 3) of the NXP datasheet. This parameter is critical for low-power applications like battery-backed sensors, where even microamp-level leakage can significantly impact operational lifetime.
