Product details
Overview
BZX585B3V0 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 3.0 V (±2%), 200 mW power dissipation, 9 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current, and SOD-523F package. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power signal conditioning and reference circuits for portable electronics and sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585B3V0 datasheet, BZX585B3V0 pinout, BZX585B3V0 application, or BZX585B3V0 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener tolerance (±2%), low dynamic impedance (9 Ω), guaranteed high-temperature soldering (260°C/10s), RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 handling-critical for automated assembly of space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
The BZX585B3V0 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp or regulate voltage across its terminals. Its 3.0 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance measured at 9 Ω under those conditions.
It features a temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C at IZT, indicating predictable negative drift with rising junction temperature, and maximum reverse leakage of 1 μA at VR = 0 V-enabling stable biasing in low-current analog stages.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - supports continuous operation in low-power sensor front-ends without forced cooling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 9 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients in regulated supplies |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 0 V - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance biasing and sample-hold circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 680 °C/W - defines junction-to-ambient thermal rise under full power in still air on standard FR4 |
| Temperature Coefficient (Tc) | −3.5 mV/°C at IZT - enables predictable compensation in temperature-sensitive reference designs |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the BZX585B3V0?
The BZX585B3V0 has a zener voltage tolerance of ±2% at 5 mA test current, meaning its nominal 3.0 V breakdown voltage falls between 2.94 V and 3.06 V under standard conditions. This tight tolerance supports precision applications like ADC references and sensor biasing where absolute voltage accuracy matters. The BZX585B3V0 maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range and is verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's C1607 datasheet revision.
What package type does the BZX585B3V0 use?
The BZX585B3V0 uses the SOD-523F surface-mount package-a miniature outline measuring 1.6 × 0.8 × 0.6 mm with standardized anode/cathode polarity marking. Its MSL 1 rating and 260°C/10s soldering guarantee make it compatible with high-volume automated assembly. The BZX585B3V0's compact size supports dense PCB layouts in space-constrained designs such as hearing aids and smart tags.
What is the maximum power dissipation for the BZX585B3V0?
The BZX585B3V0 has a maximum power dissipation of 200 mW at 25°C ambient temperature, derating linearly above that per its thermal resistance (RθJA = 680 °C/W). This rating enables continuous operation in low-power circuits like microcontroller reset monitors and sensor bias networks. The BZX585B3V0's thermal design allows safe operation up to TJ = 150°C, provided board-level copper area and airflow meet minimum requirements.
Does the BZX585B3V0 meet RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes, the BZX585B3V0 is fully RoHS compliant per Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. It contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE, and uses green compound encapsulation. These certifications are confirmed in Taiwan Semiconductor's official documentation for the BZX585B3V0 and apply to all units shipped under standard ordering codes including RSG suffix variants.
What is the dynamic impedance of the BZX585B3V0 and why does it matter?
The BZX585B3V0 exhibits a dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 9 Ω at 5 mA test current, reflecting its ability to maintain stable voltage under small-signal AC or transient load variations. Low impedance minimizes output voltage ripple and improves regulation in feedback paths and reference buffers. For the BZX585B3V0, this value directly supports high-accuracy applications such as precision voltage monitoring and low-drift sensor excitation where even millivolt-level shifts degrade system performance.
