Product details
Overview
BZX84C22T-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 22 V, 150 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-523 package, rated for 5 mA test current with ±5% tolerance (20.8–23.3 V), 55 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 17.6 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C22T-7-F datasheet, BZX84C22T-7-F pinout, BZX84C22T-7-F application, or BZX84C22T-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage, power dissipation derating above 25°C, thermal resistance (833 °C/W), junction temperature range (−65 to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and low noise performance. Its 22 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current, with temperature coefficient of +16.4 to +20.0 mV/°C - indicating positive drift with rising temperature.
The device operates within a −65°C to +150°C junction/storage temperature range and exhibits 55 Ω Zener impedance at 5 mA and 225 Ω at 1 mA, confirming low dynamic resistance suitable for voltage reference stability under light load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal, 20.8–23.3 V range at IZT = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance in reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 150 mW at TA = 25°C - limits continuous power handling on FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 55 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - ensures minimal voltage deviation under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA at VR = 17.6 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby-mode protection circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 833 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise per milliwatt on standard FR-4 board |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +16.4 to +20.0 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift magnitude and direction with ambient change |
| Package | SOT-523 - ultra-small footprint (1.6 × 0.8 × 0.5 mm) enabling high-density PCB layouts |

Applications
| Low-Power Voltage Reference | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 22 V bias for op-amp comparators or ADC reference buffers in battery-powered sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown to deliver fixed reference voltage independent of supply variation. Use Value: Maintains ±5% regulation across 1–10 mA load range with <55 Ω dynamic impedance, minimizing reference error in signal conditioning stages. | Use Scenario: Clamping transient surges on 24 V industrial I/O lines to protect downstream logic inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt protection element that conducts excess energy when line voltage exceeds 23.3 V (VZ(max)). Use Value: Limits peak clamped voltage to ≤23.3 V while dissipating up to 150 mW, preventing damage to 3.3 V or 5 V interface ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5247BT-7-F | 22 V nominal, SOD-123 package, 500 mW PD, 30 Ω ZZT at 20 mA | Higher power handling but larger footprint; requires different PCB layout and thermal relief | Select when >150 mW dissipation or lower ZZT at higher current is required |
| BZX384-C22,115 | 22 V nominal, SOD-323 package, 300 mW PD, 55 Ω ZZT at 5 mA, same tempco | Larger than SOT-523 but smaller than SOD-123; compatible thermal profile and regulation accuracy | Choose for drop-in replacement where SOT-523 footprint is unavailable or assembly tooling favors SOD-323 |
Compared with MMSZ5247BT-7-F and BZX384-C22,115, the BZX84C22T-7-F offers the smallest PCB area (SOT-523), strictest RoHS compliance, and optimized thermal resistance for ultra-low-power designs - making it preferred for wearables and miniaturized IoT endpoints where size and environmental compliance are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which leakage remains ≤0.1 µA?
The BZX84C22T-7-F specifies 0.1 µA maximum reverse current at VR = 17.6 V - 20% below nominal Zener voltage. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and defines the upper limit of safe non-conducting operation before significant Zener conduction begins.
Can this Zener diode be used in series for higher voltage references?
Yes - multiple BZX84C22T-7-F devices may be connected in series to achieve higher reference voltages (e.g., two in series yield ~44 V), provided current uniformity is maintained and total power dissipation stays within 150 mW per device. Derating must account for individual thermal resistance and ambient temperature.
Is the SOT-523 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOT-523 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity, meaning it can be processed using standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C) without pre-baking. The matte tin plating ensures reliable wetting and joint formation on ENIG and OSP finishes.
How does the +16.4 to +20.0 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
This positive temperature coefficient means output voltage increases linearly with junction temperature. In precision references, it must be compensated - e.g., by pairing with a negative-tempco component like a forward-biased diode or using a temperature-compensated Zener IC. Uncorrected, it introduces ~0.09% to 0.11% drift per °C rise.
