Product details
Overview
BZX58550-B9V1-Q from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, designed for precision biasing and voltage reference in space-constrained, low-power circuits. It delivers a nominal 9.1 V regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance, 100 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZX58550-B9V1-Q datasheet, BZX58550-B9V1-Q pinout, BZX58550-B9V1-Q application, or BZX58550-B9V1-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include low-test-current operation (50 µA), ultra-small SOD523 footprint, automotive-grade reliability, and tight 9.1 V ±2 % tolerance under minimal bias conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable output by conducting reverse current above its specified Zener voltage (9.1 V). Its low 50 µA test current enables use in battery-powered sensor nodes and standby power rails where leakage must be minimized.
The BZX58550-B9V1-Q exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +3.8 mV/K and 150 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, making it suitable for low-frequency reference and noise-sensitive analog front-ends-not RF or high-speed switching applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX58550-C9V1-Q | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %); higher typical leakage at VR = 7.3 V | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements | Select when tighter tolerance is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | Same 9.1 V nominal but ±5 % tolerance; SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.4 mm) | Requires larger PCB area; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Use only in non-automotive, non-safety-critical consumer applications with relaxed size constraints |
Compared with BZX58550-C9V1-Q and MMSZ5240B-TP, the BZX58550-B9V1-Q uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, ±2 % tolerance, and ultra-compact SOD523 packaging-making it the sole choice for space-limited automotive voltage references requiring high initial accuracy and long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current (IR) at VR = 7.3 V for BZX58550-B9V1-Q?
At VR = 7.3 V and Tj = 25 °C, the maximum reverse current is 0.1 µA. This ultra-low leakage supports stable operation in high-impedance bias networks and extends battery life in always-on sensor applications.
Can BZX58550-B9V1-Q be used in place of a 9.1 V Zener in a linear regulator feedback loop?
Yes-it is explicitly characterized for low-current regulation and provides stable 9.1 V reference at 50 µA, making it suitable for feedback divider biasing in low-power LDOs where reference current draw must remain below 100 µA.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes-the device is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C. The recommended footprint matches Nexperia's SOD523 land pattern (1.4 mm × 0.5 mm pads, 0.6 mm spacing) shown in Figure 10 of the datasheet.
How does the +3.8 mV/K temperature coefficient affect accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
Over that range, the total Zener voltage shift is approximately ±0.63 V (±6.9 % of 9.1 V). For applications requiring better thermal stability, this device should be used within narrower ambient ranges or paired with compensation circuitry.
