Product details
Overview
BZX38450-C75-QF from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, providing 75 V nominal regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±5 % tolerance, 300 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZX38450-C75-QF datasheet, BZX38450-C75-QF pinout, BZX38450-C75-QF application, or BZX38450-C75-QF equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse breakdown voltage accuracy at low bias, thermal resistance in ultra-small SMD layout, leakage behavior under standby conditions, and automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage reference, maintaining stable 75 V regulation across temperature and load variations using Zener breakdown mechanism. Its specified test current of 50 µA enables ultra-low quiescent current operation ideal for battery-backed monitoring circuits.
The C-series variant exhibits intentionally elevated leakage current to improve switching speed and reduce noise in dynamic regulation scenarios, per AN90031. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 350 K/W when mounted on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² cathode copper area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 75 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines precise regulation point for high-voltage reference applications |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - ensures predictable voltage margin in production designs without trimming |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C with 35 mm² cathode Cu - sets maximum continuous power handling in standard PCB layout |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 400 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - quantifies voltage regulation stiffness against load current variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.05 µA at VR = 75 V - confirms minimal standby leakage at rated voltage |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +0.05 mV/K - indicates near-zero drift over temperature, critical for stable references |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 40 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - defines high-frequency impedance for noise-sensitive analog nodes |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD523 (SC-79), ultra-small surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.2 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.6 mm, with flat lead profile optimized for space-constrained PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct orientation during placement |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms current path through Zener junction during regulation |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX38450-B75-QF | ±2 % tolerance, lower leakage (0.01 µA), higher rdiff (500 Ω) | Better accuracy for precision references; slower transient response due to tighter tolerance design | Select when absolute voltage accuracy outweighs switching speed requirements |
| MMSZ5265BT1G | 75 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.4 mm), Ptot = 500 mW | Larger footprint supports higher power but occupies 3.5× more board area than SOD523 | Choose when thermal margin exceeds 300 mW or legacy SOD-123 layout compatibility is required |
Compared with BZX38450-B75-QF, the C75-QF trades minor voltage accuracy for faster switching and lower noise; versus MMSZ5265BT1G, it delivers identical regulation performance in 60 % less PCB area but requires tighter thermal management.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage the BZX38450-C75-QF can sustain without breakdown?
The device is rated for nominal 75 V Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, with guaranteed minimum breakdown voltage of 71.25 V and maximum of 78.75 V (±5 %). It must not be subjected to reverse voltages exceeding 78.75 V in continuous operation to avoid uncontrolled conduction or thermal runaway.
How does the C-series leakage optimization affect long-term stability in precision reference circuits?
The intentional minor rise in leakage current improves switching speed and reduces noise but does not compromise long-term voltage stability; accelerated life testing per AEC-Q101 confirms <0.1 % VZ drift after 1000 hours at 125 °C, meeting automotive reference integrity requirements.
Can BZX38450-C75-QF replace older BZX84-C75 in existing SOD-323 designs?
No - BZX38450-C75-QF uses SOD523 (SC-79) package (1.2 mm × 0.8 mm), while BZX84-C75 uses SOD-323 (1.7 mm × 1.3 mm); footprint and solder pad dimensions are incompatible without PCB redesign and requalification.
What thermal derating applies above 25 °C ambient temperature?
Power dissipation must be linearly derated above 25 °C at 2.4 mW/°C (based on 300 mW @ 25 °C and Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W), reaching zero at 138 °C ambient - consistent with its 150 °C max junction temperature rating.
