Product details
Overview
BZX585-B3V9,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 3.9 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power capability. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog sensing, microcontroller reset circuits, and portable battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the BZX585-B3V9,115 datasheet, BZX585-B3V9,115 pinout, BZX585-B3V9,115 application, or BZX585-B3V9,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.9 V Zener voltage tolerance, low 400 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, −1.9 mV/K temperature coefficient, and ultra-small SOD523 footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its design targets low-current regulation (IZ = 1–5 mA), with specified forward voltage ≤1.1 V at 100 mA and reverse leakage ≤3.0 µA at VR = 3.0 V.
The device features a negative temperature coefficient of −1.9 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference circuits. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 65 K/W, supporting reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature when mounted on FR4 with 35 mm² copper area at the cathode tab.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.82 V to 3.98 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation window for 3.9 V nominal reference |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 400 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −1.9 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for thermal stability analysis |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - enables transient surge suppression in ESD or inductive kick scenarios |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 3.0 µA max at VR = 3.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or low-power modes |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max at IF = 100 mA - supports use as low-drop rectifier or clamping diode in bidirectional protection |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX585-C3V9,115 | ±5 % tolerance (3.71–4.10 V), higher 500 Ω rdiff, same SOD523 package | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision; less suitable for ADC reference rails | Select for cost-driven consumer electronics where ±5 % VZ meets system margin requirements |
| MMSZ4685T1G | ±5 % tolerance (3.7–4.1 V), 500 Ω rdiff, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm) | Larger footprint limits use in ultra-dense layouts; identical thermal derating curve | Choose when existing SOD-123 land pattern must be reused or higher power handling (500 mW) is required |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX585-B3V9,115 at 25 °C?
The maximum continuous reverse current is derived from Ptot = 300 mW and VZ ≈ 3.9 V, yielding IZ ≤ 77 mA. However, the datasheet specifies a recommended IZ range of 1–5 mA for stable regulation; operation above 5 mA increases self-heating and degrades voltage accuracy due to thermal coefficient effects.
Can BZX585-B3V9,115 be used in series for higher voltage regulation?
No-BZX585-B3V9,115 is not characterized or guaranteed for series operation. Zener voltage matching tolerance (±2 %) and unequal thermal coupling between devices cause current hogging and potential thermal runaway. Use a single higher-voltage Zener (e.g., BZX585-B10) instead.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the SOD523 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020. The recommended footprint (Fig. 12) uses 0.5 mm pad width, 0.4 mm solder mask opening, and 2.15 mm center-to-center spacing. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds to avoid delamination.
How does the −1.9 mV/K temperature coefficient affect performance at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient (ΔT = +60 K), the Zener voltage shifts by −114 mV (−1.9 mV/K × 60 K), resulting in VZ ≈ 3.87 V. This 0.56 % drift remains within system-level tolerance budgets for most non-precision applications; for tighter stability, pair with a positive-TC component or use temperature-compensated references.
