Product details
Overview
BZX585-B11,115 from Nexperia is a 11 V ±2 % Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small SMD package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained consumer and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B11,115 datasheet, BZX585-B11,115 pinout, BZX585-B11,115 application, or BZX585-B11,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), differential resistance (25 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), thermal resistance (65 K/W junction-to-solder point), and SC-79 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 11 V regulation across 5 mA test current, with low 25 Ω typical differential resistance ensuring minimal voltage shift under load variation. Its temperature coefficient of +5.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA supports predictable drift behavior in ambient ranges from −65 °C to +150 °C.
The device features two-terminal construction with cathode-marked anode-cathode polarity, optimized for low-capacitance (0.1 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz) and fast transient response in clamping circuits. It complies with IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings, including 200 mA forward current limit and 40 W surge capability at tp = 100 µs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.78 V to 11.22 V at IZ = 5 mA - tight ±2 % tolerance enables accurate 11 V reference without trimming |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 25 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - low impedance ensures stable regulation under varying load currents |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper - defines continuous thermal operating envelope |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 µs square wave - supports transient overvoltage suppression in surge events |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.1 µA max. at VR = 8.8 V - guarantees low leakage in standby and battery-powered modes |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 65 K/W - enables effective heat transfer to PCB copper, critical for reliability in compact designs |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 0.1 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - negligible signal loading in high-frequency bias/reference networks |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small flat-lead surface-mount plastic package: 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm body, 0.65 mm height, cathode indicated by marking bar on terminal 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-biased operation requires anode at lower voltage than cathode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-compact SOD523 footprint | Enables placement in <1.1 mm² board area - ideal for wearables, IoT sensors, and miniaturized power modules |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Reduces need for post-assembly calibration in 11 V reference applications such as ADC biasing and LDO feedback |
| Low 25 Ω differential resistance | Maintains regulation stability across ±1 mA load variation - critical for noise-sensitive analog subsystems |
| 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance | Allows >200 mW sustained power handling on standard FR4 with minimal copper - simplifies thermal design |
| 0.1 pF junction capacitance | Minimizes high-frequency coupling in RF bias networks and clock generator references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5232BS-7-F | 11 V ±5 %, SOT-323 package (1.7 mm × 1.3 mm), 200 mW Ptot, 30 Ω rdiff | Larger footprint and looser tolerance reduce suitability for high-precision, space-constrained designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs size and accuracy requirements |
| BZX384-B11,115 | 11 V ±2 %, SOD-323 package (1.7 mm × 1.25 mm), 300 mW Ptot, 30 Ω rdiff | 25 % larger footprint and higher 350 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance limit thermal performance | Prefer only if existing layout accommodates SOD-323 and thermal margin exceeds 100 °C/W |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX585-B11,115 can sustain?
The device has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; its steady-state operation is governed by power dissipation limits. At 11 V Zener voltage, the maximum DC reverse current is 27.3 mA (300 mW ÷ 11 V), assuming full derating at 25 °C ambient and adequate PCB copper thermal relief.
Can the BZX585-B11,115 be used in series or parallel configurations?
Series connection is permissible for higher voltage references but requires matched units to avoid current imbalance; parallel use is not recommended due to manufacturing spread in Zener knee characteristics, which causes unequal current sharing and potential thermal runaway.
How does the +5.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
This positive coefficient means the Zener voltage increases by 5.4 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. In a 11 V reference, that equates to +0.049 %/°C drift - acceptable for non-precision applications but requires compensation in high-accuracy analog systems operating across wide temperature ranges.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - the BZX585-B11,115 is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C. The recommended solder land pattern (1.4 mm × 0.5 mm pads, 0.4 mm gap) is defined in Figure 12 of the datasheet to ensure reliable joint formation and mechanical stability.
