Product details
Overview
BZX84C22_D87Z from ON Semiconductor (formerly Fairchild) is a 22 V ±5% tolerance surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with typical zener impedance of 25 Ω at 20 mA and reverse leakage current ≤50 nA at 15.4 V, used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power DC rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C22_D87Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at specified test current, thermal resistance (RJA = 465°C/W), maximum reverse leakage, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The BZX84C22_D87Z operates as a silicon planar epitaxial Zener diode optimized for stable voltage reference and clamping in bias networks, feedback loops, and ESD-sensitive analog front-ends. It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +16.4 mV/°C at 5 mA and capacitance of 85 pF at 0 V reverse bias, 1 MHz.
Designed for operation within -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, it supports steady-state DC regulation only - pulsed or low-duty-cycle applications require consultation with ON Semiconductor per absolute maximum ratings guidance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.8–23.4 V at IZ = 20 mA; defines precise clamping threshold for 22 V nominal rail protection |
| Tolerance | ±5%; ensures voltage accuracy within 1.1 V window for reliable reference stability |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 25 Ω max at IZ = 20 mA; determines regulation stiffness under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤50 nA at VR = 15.4 V; minimizes quiescent current in high-impedance sensing paths |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 250 mW at TA = 25°C; sets maximum continuous DC power handling on FR-4 PCB |
| Junction-to-Ambient RJA | 465°C/W; indicates thermal derating slope - power must reduce by ~0.54 mW/°C above 25°C ambient |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5247BS-7-F | 22 V ±5%, 200 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZ at 20 mA, SOT-323 package | Lower power rating and higher impedance; smaller footprint but reduced thermal margin | Select when board space is critical and power dissipation remains <150 mW |

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for BZX84C22_D87Z at 20 mA test current?
The BZX84C22_D87Z has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 20.8 V to 23.4 V when tested at IZ = 20 mA and TA = 25°C, per the official ON Semiconductor datasheet Rev. 1.10. This 2.6 V span reflects its ±5% tolerance specification and directly defines its usable clamping window in circuit design.
Does BZX84C22_D87Z support operation above 100°C ambient temperature?
Yes, the BZX84C22_D87Z is rated for junction temperatures up to +150°C and storage from -55°C to +150°C. However, its power dissipation must be derated linearly above 25°C ambient using RJA = 465°C/W - for example, at 85°C ambient, max allowable PD drops to ~135 mW. Thermal design must ensure TJ stays within limits under worst-case load.
What is the forward voltage of BZX84C22_D87Z and how does it affect circuit behavior?
The forward voltage of BZX84C22_D87Z is ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA, consistent across the BZX84 series. This low VF ensures minimal voltage drop when used in forward-biased configurations (e.g., polarity protection), preserving headroom in low-voltage systems without compromising BZX84C22_D87Z's primary Zener function.
Can BZX84C22_D87Z be used as a direct replacement for BZX84C22LT1G?
No - while both are 22 V SOT-23 Zeners, BZX84C22LT1G (onsemi) uses different marking, packaging, and qualification standards. BZX84C22_D87Z is a Fairchild/ON legacy part with documented RJA = 465°C/W and specific leakage/capacitance values. Substitution requires validation of thermal performance, board layout, and reliability requirements before deploying BZX84C22_D87Z.
What is the temperature coefficient of BZX84C22_D87Z and how does it impact voltage stability?
The BZX84C22_D87Z has a temperature coefficient of +16.4 mV/°C at IZ = 5 mA, meaning its zener voltage increases by approximately 16.4 mV per degree Celsius rise. This positive drift must be accounted for in precision reference designs - for instance, a 50°C rise adds ~0.82 V to nominal VZ, so system-level calibration or compensation may be needed when using BZX84C22_D87Z.
