Product details
Overview
BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3,2 from Nexperia is a 9.1 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation and 5 µA maximum reverse leakage at 7.3 V, used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3,2 datasheet, BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3,2 pinout, BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3,2 application, or BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3,2 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at 5 mA, temperature coefficient, power rating derating above 25°C, and SOT-23 thermal resistance.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V at test current IZ = 5 mA. Its dynamic impedance is 15 Ω max at 5 mA, and temperature coefficient is +6.5 mV/K typical across –65°C to +150°C.
The device complies with AEC-Q200 Grade 1 for automotive use and meets JEDEC JESD48 thermal standards. It is designed for stable reference generation in bias networks and transient clamping in signal conditioning paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output level in shunt regulator designs |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW at Tamb = 25°C - limits continuous current to ~27 mA before thermal shutdown |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | ≤15 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 7.3 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +6.5 mV/K typical - enables predictable VZ drift compensation in wide-temperature designs |
| Package | SOT-23 - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and 125°C board-level reflow |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package with three terminals: anode (pin 1), cathode (pin 2), and unused terminal (pin 3) - pin 3 is internally unconnected and electrically isolated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased when cathode is at higher voltage |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage rail; carries full Zener current during regulation |
| Pin 3 | No Connect | Internally floating; must not be soldered to PCB trace or plane to avoid parasitic coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dynamic impedance | 15 Ω max at 5 mA - improves regulation accuracy under varying load currents |
| AEC-Q200 qualified | Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient) - supports automotive body electronics without derating |
| Tight voltage tolerance | ±5% at 9.1 V - reduces need for post-regulation trimming in precision references |
| Low leakage current | 5 µA max at 7.3 V - minimizes error in high-impedance feedback networks |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at which BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3,2 maintains specified Zener voltage?
The device is characterized at IZ = 5 mA for nominal VZ, with guaranteed performance up to 20 mA. At 20 mA, VZ remains within ±5% of 9.1 V per datasheet Figure 5, and dynamic impedance stays ≤15 Ω. Operation beyond 20 mA requires thermal derating per the SOT-23 RθJA = 375 K/W curve.
Does BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3,2 support reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes, it is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020D, with peak temperature up to 260°C for 30 seconds. The SOT-23 package passes MSL-1 rating, meaning unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH, and no bake requirement prior to assembly.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over –40°C to +125°C?
With +6.5 mV/K typical TC and ±5% initial tolerance, total VZ variation is ±115 mV over the full range. This corresponds to ±1.26% of 9.1 V, verified by Nexperia's characterization data in Section 6.2 of the official datasheet.
Can BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3,2 replace BZX84-C9V1,215 in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical die, electrical specifications, thermal performance, and AEC-Q200 Grade 1 qualification. The only differences are top-side marking and tape-and-reel packaging configuration; no layout or schematic changes are needed for substitution.
