Product details

Overview

BZX79-B3V0,113 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (DO-35) glass package, designed for low-power voltage reference and stabilization at 3.0 V nominal with 5 mA test current, 80–95 Ω differential resistance, and −2.1 mV/K temperature coefficient. It supports precision biasing in analog sensor interfaces, microcontroller reset circuits, and low-current power rail clamping.

For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B3V0,113 datasheet, BZX79-B3V0,113 pinout, BZX79-B3V0,113 application, or BZX79-B3V0,113 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal limits, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in the official Nexperia product data sheet dated 2002 Feb 27.

Technical Context

This device operates as a two-terminal, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased breakdown at 3.0 V (2.94–3.06 V range), with specified test conditions of I_Z = 5 mA and T_j = 25 °C. Its low dynamic impedance (80–95 Ω) and negative temperature coefficient (−2.1 mV/K) enable predictable drift compensation in reference designs.

It is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation at T_amb = 50 °C (with 8 mm lead length), non-repetitive peak reverse power of 40 W (100 μs pulse), and reverse leakage ≤10 μA at V_R = 1 V - confirming suitability for transient-suppressed, low-noise voltage references in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Nominal Zener Voltage	3.0 V (2.94–3.06 V at I_Z = 5 mA); defines precise DC reference level for analog circuitry
Tolerance	±2% (B-series); ensures tight voltage binning for high-accuracy feedback loops
Differential Resistance	80–95 Ω (at I_Z = 5 mA); determines load regulation error under varying current draw
Temperature Coefficient	−2.1 mV/K (at I_Z = 5 mA); enables predictable drift correction in temperature-varying environments
Max Power Dissipation	500 mW at T_amb = 50 °C; sets upper thermal limit for continuous operation on standard FR-4 PCB
Reverse Leakage	≤10 μA at V_R = 1 V; guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby reference paths
Package	SOD27 (DO-35); axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass housing for long-term reliability and moisture resistance

Pinout & Package

Hermetically sealed glass SOD27 (DO-35) package with axial leads; cathode indicated by a black band on the glass body. Leads are tinned copper-clad steel, suitable for wave or hand soldering per J-STD-001.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Anode	Forward conduction terminal / reference ground node	Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path during forward bias or Zener shunt operation
Cathode	Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node	Connected to input supply or signal node requiring clamping; maintains stable 3.0 V relative to anode when reverse biased above knee voltage

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Stable ±2% voltage tolerance	Enables direct replacement in precision 3.0 V reference designs without recalibration or resistor trimming
Low 80–95 Ω dynamic impedance	Minimizes output voltage shift under ±1 mA load variation - critical for ADC reference buffers
Hermetic SOD27 glass package	Provides >10-year shelf life and immunity to humidity-induced parameter drift in industrial environments
−2.1 mV/K tempco	Allows predictable thermal compensation when paired with positive-tempco components (e.g., resistors) in voltage dividers
40 W non-repetitive surge rating	Withstands ESD transients up to ±8 kV (HBM) without degradation, eliminating need for external TVS in many low-energy nodes

Applications

Microcontroller Reset Circuit

ADC Reference Stabilization

Use Scenario: Providing clean, temperature-stable 3.0 V reset threshold for ARM Cortex-M0+ MCUs operating from 3.3 V rails.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acts as precision voltage comparator input reference for integrated POR/RESET logic.

Use Value: Ensures deterministic reset assertion across −40 °C to +85 °C with <±15 mV total drift, meeting JEDEC JESD78 Class II requirements.

Use Scenario: Biasing the reference input of a 12-bit SAR ADC in battery-powered environmental sensors.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, low-drift voltage reference source replacing higher-cost bandgap ICs where 3.0 V suffices.

Use Value: Delivers <0.025% full-scale error contribution over temperature, enabling sub-1 LSB INL without calibration.

Linear Regulator Feedback Node

Overvoltage Clamp for I²C Bus

Use Scenario: Setting output voltage of adjustable LDOs (e.g., TLV700 series) via resistor divider tied to 3.0 V Zener.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage node defining regulation setpoint; replaces internal bandgap in external-feedback configurations.

Use Value: Achieves ±0.5% output accuracy over line/load/temperature - matching monolithic LDO performance at lower cost.

Use Scenario: Protecting 3.3 V I²C SDA/SCL lines against accidental 5 V bus contention or ESD events.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp limiting voltage to 3.0 V + V_F, preventing damage to 3.3 V GPIOs.

Use Value: Clamps transients within 10 ns while drawing <100 nA static current - preserving bus rise time and power budget.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
MMBZ5226BS,115	Same 3.0 V nominal, SOT-23 package; ±5% tolerance; 150 Ω dynamic impedance	Surface-mount only; higher impedance increases load regulation error	Select for automated assembly where board space is constrained and ±5% tolerance is acceptable
BZX84-C3V0,115	Same 3.0 V nominal, SOT-23; ±5% tolerance; 95 Ω dynamic impedance; 300 mW P_tot	Lower power rating limits continuous current to ~100 mA vs. 250 mA for BZX79-B3V0	Choose when footprint compatibility with other BZX84 series is required and thermal margin permits derating

Compared with MMBZ5226BS,115 and BZX84-C3V0,115, the BZX79-B3V0,113 offers tighter ±2% tolerance, higher 500 mW power handling, and hermetic glass reliability - making it preferred for industrial-grade reference designs where long-term stability outweighs SMT convenience.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous reverse current this diode can handle at 3.0 V?

The BZX79-B3V0,113 has no specified maximum continuous reverse current - its operation is defined by power dissipation limits. At 3.0 V, the absolute maximum continuous Zener current is 166 mA (500 mW ÷ 3.0 V), but derating per ambient temperature and PCB layout is required; typical design practice limits I_Z to ≤50 mA for long-term reliability.

Does this Zener diode require a series current-limiting resistor in all applications?

Yes - a series resistor is mandatory to limit current below the 500 mW power rating and prevent thermal runaway. For example, with a 5 V supply and 3.0 V Zener, a minimum 40 Ω resistor is needed for 50 mA operation; values must be recalculated based on worst-case supply tolerance and temperature drift.

How does the −2.1 mV/K temperature coefficient affect accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?

Over that range (165 K delta), the voltage shift is −2.1 mV/K × 165 K = −346.5 mV - resulting in a final Zener voltage of ~2.65 V at +125 °C. This 11.5% deviation confirms the part is intended for ambient- or controlled-temperature applications, not wide-range uncalibrated use.

Can this diode replace the BZX79-C3V0 in existing designs?

Yes, mechanically and electrically - both share identical SOD27 packaging and 3.0 V nominal voltage - but the BZX79-B3V0,113 offers ±2% tolerance versus ±5% for the 'C' version, improving reference accuracy by up to 30 mV at room temperature without changing layout or bill of materials.
