Product details
Overview
BZX84-C22/LF1R from NXP Semiconductors is a ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, rated for 22 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 250 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use. It provides stable reference voltage in low-power supply regulation and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84-C22/LF1R datasheet, BZX84-C22/LF1R pinout, BZX84-C22/LF1R application, or BZX84-C22/LF1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 22 V Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), differential resistance of 60 Ω at 5 mA, reverse current ≤0.05 μA at 17.6 V, temperature coefficient of +16.4 mV/K, and non-repetitive peak reverse current capability of 1.25 A.
Technical Context
The BZX84-C22/LF1R operates as a two-terminal silicon planar Zener diode optimized for voltage regulation and reference functions in space-constrained SMD designs. Its junction construction enables stable reverse breakdown with controlled temperature coefficient (+16.4 mV/K) and low dynamic impedance (60 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA).
Designed for operation up to 150 °C junction temperature and qualified per AEC-Q101, it supports automotive-grade reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress. The device exhibits ≤0.05 μA reverse leakage at VR = 17.6 V and forward voltage of ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; ±5 % tolerance band (20.8 V to 23.3 V) defines usable regulation window in precision biasing |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW at Tamb ≤25 °C; limits continuous DC current to ~11.4 mA at 22 V, constraining use to low-power regulation |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 60 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA; determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity in shunt reference applications |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 17.6 V; ensures minimal quiescent power loss and high impedance in standby mode |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +16.4 mV/K typical; positive drift improves stability in warm environments versus negative-coefficient Zeners |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 1.25 A at tp = 100 μs; supports transient overvoltage clamping without device failure |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA; enables low-loss polarity checking and basic rectification in dual-role circuits |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mounted package with 3 leads; 2.8 mm × 1.4 mm footprint, 1.1 mm height, and standard FR4 PCB mounting per JEDEC MO-203.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5247BS-7-F | 22 V, ±5 %, SOT23, 200 mW Ptot, 70 Ω rdif at 20 mA | Lower power rating reduces surge margin; higher rdif increases load regulation error | Select when board-level thermal management restricts 250 mW operation or legacy BOM mandates ON Semi sourcing |
| Vishay BZX84-C22-TP | 22 V, ±5 %, SOT23, 300 mW Ptot, 55 Ω rdif at 5 mA, AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher power and lower impedance improve regulation but require layout review for thermal relief | Prefer for new automotive designs needing enhanced surge resilience or tighter voltage stability under varying loads |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZX84-C22/LF1R?
The BZX84-C22/LF1R has a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V with a ±5 % tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 20.8 V and 23.3 V when tested at 5 mA. This C-series tolerance balances cost and performance for non-critical regulation tasks where tight voltage accuracy is not required. The BZX84-C22/LF1R maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is BZX84-C22/LF1R suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, BZX84-C22/LF1R is AEC-Q101 qualified by NXP Semiconductors, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and infotainment systems. It operates reliably from −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and meets stress test requirements for humidity, temperature cycling, and mechanical shock. BZX84-C22/LF1R is commonly deployed in 12 V/24 V rail monitoring and sensor biasing within automotive ECUs.
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current for BZX84-C22/LF1R?
The BZX84-C22/LF1R supports a non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) of 1.25 A under 100 μs square-wave pulse conditions at Tj = 25 °C. This rating enables effective transient voltage suppression without device failure during short-duration overvoltage events. Engineers must ensure external current-limiting resistors or system-level protection prevents repeated surges exceeding this limit, as BZX84-C22/LF1R is not rated for repetitive operation at IZSM.
How does the temperature coefficient affect BZX84-C22/LF1R performance?
The BZX84-C22/LF1R exhibits a typical temperature coefficient (SZ) of +16.4 mV/K, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 16.4 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This positive drift helps compensate for negative temperature effects in associated circuitry, such as op-amp input offsets. In contrast to low-voltage Zeners with negative coefficients, BZX84-C22/LF1R offers improved thermal stability above 5.6 V, making it well-suited for reference applications in variable-temperature environments.
What package type is used for BZX84-C22/LF1R?
BZX84-C22/LF1R uses the SOT23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount plastic package - a 3-lead, 2.8 mm × 1.4 mm outline with 1.1 mm height. Pin 1 is anode, Pin 2 is not connected, and Pin 3 is cathode. This JEDEC-standard package supports automated assembly, reflow soldering per J-STD-020, and thermal dissipation via the cathode pad to PCB copper. The BZX84-C22/LF1R marking code "Y8*" is laser-etched on the top surface for traceability.
