Product details
Overview
BZX585B3V3 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 3.3 V ±2%, 200 mW power dissipation, 95 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and SOD-523F package - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog sensor interfaces and microcontroller I/O clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585B3V3 datasheet, BZX585B3V3 pinout, BZX585B3V3 application, or BZX585B3V3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.23–3.37 V zener range at 5 mA, 4.5 μA max reverse leakage at 1.0 V, -3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient, and MSL1 moisture sensitivity rating for reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
The BZX585B3V3 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, maintaining stable reverse breakdown across ambient temperatures from –65°C to +150°C with junction temperature limited to 150°C. Its thermal resistance (Junction-to-Ambient) is 680°C/W, enabling operation up to 200 mW only at TA = 25°C with linear derating above that point.
Zener impedance is specified at 95 Ω (max) under 5 mA test current, and dynamic impedance drops significantly at higher currents - e.g., ~1 Ω at 20 mA per Fig. 2. Reverse leakage remains ≤4.5 μA at VR = 1.0 V, supporting low-quiescent-current bias networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.3 V nominal, 3.23–3.37 V range at IZT = 5 mA - ensures tight regulation tolerance for 3.3 V rail monitoring and reference buffering. |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW at TA = 25°C - supports continuous operation in space-constrained PCB layouts without forced cooling. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤95 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - maintains low AC impedance for noise-sensitive analog references and feedback paths. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤4.5 μA at VR = 1.0 V - minimizes parasitic current draw in battery-powered sensor nodes and standby circuits. |
| Temperature Coefficient | –3.5 mV/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable voltage references near room temperature. |
| Package | SOD-523F - 0.7–0.9 mm length, 1.5–1.7 mm width, 0.25–0.40 mm height - compatible with high-density 0201-class placement and reflow profiles. |
| Moisture Sensitivity | MSL1 - unlimited floor life; no bake requirement before reflow soldering per J-STD-020. |
Pinout & Package
SOD-523F is a two-terminal surface-mount package with cathode marked by a band on one end. The device has no internal leads - anode and cathode are exposed metalized pads on opposite ends of the molded body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node when used in reverse-biased regulation mode. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Regulated output node | Connected to voltage source or signal line requiring clamping or reference; polarity critical for proper breakdown operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables accurate 3.3 V rail sensing without external trimming in ADC reference or supervisor circuits. |
| Halogen-free construction | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU - meets environmental compliance for consumer and industrial end products. |
| High-temp soldering rated | Guaranteed performance after 260°C/10s reflow - eliminates risk of parametric shift during standard lead-free assembly. |
| Low weight (1.36 mg) | Reduces mechanical stress on fine-pitch traces and supports ultra-lightweight portable electronics design. |
| Green compound molding | Provides consistent visual identification and UV stability for long-term reliability in exposed PCB environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5226BS-7-F | Zener voltage 3.3 V ±5%, 350 mW power rating, SOT-323 package (larger footprint), 100 Ω ZZT at 20 mA | Higher power handling but larger board area; less precise tolerance affects accuracy-critical references | Select when higher surge energy absorption is required and 5% tolerance is acceptable in cost-sensitive designs. |
| BZX384-B3V3,115 | Zener voltage 3.3 V ±2%, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm), 90 Ω ZZT at 5 mA, MSL1 | Nearly identical electrical specs but 30% larger footprint; same halogen-free/RoHS compliance | Prefer when existing layout accommodates SOD-323 and higher power margin is needed without changing tolerance or TC. |
Compared with BZX585B3V3, MMBZ5226BS-7-F trades tighter voltage tolerance for higher power and larger size, while BZX384-B3V3,115 offers identical tolerance and improved power margin in a physically larger SOD-323 package - both require footprint verification but support equivalent functional roles in voltage reference and clamping.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZX585B3V3 at 1.0 V?
The BZX585B3V3 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 4.5 μA when biased at 1.0 V, measured at TA = 25°C. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on sensor bias networks and extends battery life in portable systems using the BZX585B3V3 as a reference or clamp element.
Is BZX585B3V3 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the BZX585B3V3 is qualified for high-temperature soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds, fully compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 1 reflow profiles. Its SOD-523F package and halogen-free epoxy ensure reliable interconnect formation without delamination or parametric shift during standard lead-free assembly of the BZX585B3V3.
What is the thermal resistance (Junction-to-Ambient) of BZX585B3V3?
The BZX585B3V3 has a Junction-to-Ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 680°C/W under standard PCB mounting conditions (single-layer copper, no thermal vias). This value defines the derating curve shown in Fig. 3 - power must be reduced linearly above 25°C ambient to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C in the BZX585B3V3.
Does BZX585B3V3 have a defined zener impedance at low test currents?
Yes, the BZX585B3V3 specifies maximum zener impedance of 95 Ω at IZT = 5 mA. While not explicitly rated below 5 mA, Fig. 2 shows impedance rising sharply below 1 mA - so for sub-mA applications, designers should verify stability using the BZX585B3V3's actual dynamic curve rather than relying on the 5 mA spec alone.
How does the temperature coefficient of BZX585B3V3 affect its use in precision references?
The BZX585B3V3 has a temperature coefficient of –3.5 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA, meaning its zener voltage decreases by ~0.1% per °C rise near 25°C. For precision references, this requires either temperature compensation or operation within narrow ambient ranges - a key design consideration when specifying the BZX585B3V3 in metrology-grade circuits.
