For engineers reviewing the BZX84-C30/DG/B2,21 datasheet, BZX84-C30/DG/B2,21 pinout, BZX84-C30/DG/B2,21 application, or BZX84-C30/DG/B2,21 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, power dissipation limit, dynamic impedance at operating current, temperature coefficient, and SOT23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage across its terminals under varying load and supply conditions. It exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +14 mV/K above 5.1 V and is characterized at test currents of 5 mA (for VZ) and 1 mA (for ZZT).
The device complies with AEC-Q200 Grade 1 requirements for automotive applications and supports soldering per IEC 61249-2-21, with guaranteed performance from −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage with tight tolerance for precision biasing |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - limits continuous thermal load in SOT23 without heatsink |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤80 Ω at IZ = 1 mA - determines voltage stability under small-signal variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤100 nA at VR = 23.5 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation |
| Temperature Coefficient | +14 mV/K (typ.) above 5.1 V - quantifies VZ drift per degree Celsius rise |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - enables operation in extended industrial and automotive environments |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 23.5 V for BZX84-C30/DG/B2,21?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 100 nA at 23.5 V and Tj = 25 °C, as specified in Nexperia's official datasheet revision 2023-05. This value increases to 1 µA at 150 °C junction temperature, reflecting predictable thermal behavior for design margining.
Is BZX84-C30/DG/B2,21 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - it is qualified to AEC-Q200 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient), with full qualification testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias HAST, and board-level vibration. Its SOT23 package meets automotive solder joint reliability standards per JESD22-A110.
How does the Zener impedance affect regulation accuracy?
Zener impedance of ≤80 Ω at 1 mA means a 1 mA change in Zener current causes ≤80 mV shift in output voltage. In practice, this translates to <±2.7 mV regulation error over ±0.1 mA load variation at 30 V, critical for high-precision analog references.
Can BZX84-C30/DG/B2,21 replace BZX84-C30,215 in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical electrical characteristics, thermal performance, and SOT23 mechanical dimensions. The suffix difference reflects only tape-and-reel packaging configuration (reel size, orientation, labeling); no PCB layout or schematic changes are required for substitution.
