Product details
Overview
BZX84C22 RFG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 22 V, power dissipation 300 mW, and SOT-23 package, designed for low-voltage stabilization and precision voltage reference in space-constrained DC/DC converters and lighting control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C22 RFG datasheet, BZX84C22 RFG pinout, BZX84C22 RFG application, or BZX84C22 RFG equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (20.8–23.3 V), zener impedance (55 Ω @ 5 mA), leakage current (≤0.1 µA @ 17.6 V), temperature coefficient (+16.4 mV/°C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-die, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias breakdown at 22 V with tight voltage tolerance and low dynamic impedance. It supports continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature and exhibits predictable thermal derating per MIL-STD-750 test conditions.
Its SOT-23 package enables automated placement and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW at TA = 25 °C - defines maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 55 Ω @ 5 mA - low dynamic resistance improves regulation accuracy against load transients |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.1 µA @ 17.6 V - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or low-power reference circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient | +16.4 mV/°C - positive TC enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable references |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 to +150 °C - supports operation in extended industrial environments without derating |

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 (Diodes Inc.) | 22 V nominal, 20.9–23.1 V tolerance, 350 mW PD, 30 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Lower zener impedance improves regulation under dynamic load; higher PD allows greater margin in thermally constrained layouts | Preferred where tighter regulation and higher power headroom are critical; requires verification of SOT-23 pin compatibility |
| BZX84-C22,115 (Nexperia) | 22 V nominal, 20.8–23.3 V tolerance, 300 mW PD, 55 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA, same SOT-23 package | Identical electrical specs and mechanical form factor; differs only in marking code and reel packaging (7" vs. 13" reel) | Drop-in substitute for BZX84C22 RFG with no layout or schematic changes required |
Compared with MMBZ5247BS-7-F and BZX84-C22,115, the BZX84C22 RFG offers identical voltage tolerance and thermal performance but uses halogen-free molding compound and Level 1 moisture sensitivity - making it preferable for green manufacturing and high-yield SMT lines.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of BZX84C22 RFG at 5 mA test current?
The BZX84C22 RFG has a zener voltage range of 20.8 V to 23.3 V at IZT = 5 mA, corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the nominal 22 V rating. This specification is verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's F2001 datasheet and applies under pulsed test conditions (300 µs width, 5 ms period) at TA = 25 °C. The BZX84C22 RFG maintains this tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is BZX84C22 RFG RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the BZX84C22 RFG is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The "G" suffix in the ordering code explicitly denotes green compound formulation. Taiwan Semiconductor confirms full compliance in the official datasheet Version F2001, and the device carries appropriate marking and documentation for environmental regulatory acceptance in EU, China, and Japan markets. BZX84C22 RFG meets all applicable substance restrictions without exception.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for BZX84C22 RFG?
The BZX84C22 RFG is rated for a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, with a minimum of −65 °C. This rating is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet and applies under continuous DC operation. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient per the published power derating curve (417 °C/W RθJA). BZX84C22 RFG maintains full parametric performance within this thermal envelope.
Does BZX84C22 RFG have moisture sensitivity level certification?
Yes, BZX84C22 RFG is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/85% RH without dry-pack requirements or baking prior to reflow. This is confirmed in the Mechanical Data section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The BZX84C22 RFG's Level 1 classification simplifies SMT line logistics and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risks during lead-free reflow.
What is the zener impedance of BZX84C22 RFG and why does it matter?
The BZX84C22 RFG has a zener impedance (ZZT) of 55 Ω measured at IZT = 5 mA and f = 1 kHz. This value quantifies how much the output voltage varies with changes in zener current - lower impedance yields tighter regulation under varying load conditions. In practice, the BZX84C22 RFG's 55 Ω impedance supports stable reference performance in feedback loops and low-noise bias networks where current ripple is present.
