Product details
Overview
BZX84J-C5V6,115 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323F (SC-90) package, rated for 5.6 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 400 Ω differential resistance and 12 A non-repetitive peak reverse current, used for precision low-power voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84J-C5V6,115 datasheet, BZX84J-C5V6,115 pinout, BZX84J-C5V6,115 application, or BZX84J-C5V6,115 equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring stable 5.6 V reference under transient surge conditions up to 100 µs and ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal 5.6 V working voltage at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −2.0 to +2.5 mV/K across 25–150 °C and low 400 Ω differential resistance for tight regulation stability under load variation.
It delivers 550 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad, supports non-repetitive 40 W surge pulses (tp = 100 µs, square wave), and maintains ≤ 1 µA reverse leakage at VR = 4.0 V per datasheet Table 8.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 5.6 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for reference circuits |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - ensures predictable voltage deviation across production lots |
| Differential Resistance | 400 Ω - limits output voltage shift under ±1 mA current change |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current | 12 A - enables robust ESD/TVS-like transient suppression without failure |
| Total Power Dissipation | 550 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤ 1 µA at VR = 4.0 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby regulation |
| Junction Temperature Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
SOD323F (SC-90) surface-mount plastic package: 2-terminal, ultra-small footprint (2.3 × 1.35 mm), flat lead, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-biased during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |
| Low differential resistance | 400 Ω ensures <10 mV output shift per 25 mA load step - critical for sensor biasing accuracy |
| High surge capability | Withstands 40 W non-repetitive pulse (100 µs) - protects downstream ICs from ISO 7637-2 transients |
| Wide operating temperature | Functional from −55 °C to +150 °C - suitable for engine control unit (ECU) and transmission modules |
| Small SMD footprint | SOD323F package enables high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained modules like ADAS cameras |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Biasing | Microcontroller Reset Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 5.6 V reference to analog front-end of pressure or temperature sensors in engine bay. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener acts as shunt voltage reference, maintaining constant bias voltage despite battery fluctuations (9–16 V). Use Value: Enables <±1% sensor output accuracy over full temperature range due to low rdiff and AEC-Q101 thermal stability. |
Use Scenario: Generating clean reset signal for 3.3 V microcontrollers when main supply exceeds threshold. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamps reset line to 5.6 V until RC decay pulls it below logic-low threshold. Use Value: Guarantees deterministic reset timing with <1 µA leakage, eliminating false resets during brown-out events. |
| USB Port Overvoltage Protection | Industrial Analog Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Protecting USB data lines from accidental 12 V misconnection in industrial docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamp activated above 5.6 V, diverting surge current away from PHY IC. Use Value: Absorbs 40 W transient energy (100 µs) without degradation - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 immunity. |
Use Scenario: Stabilizing excitation voltage for 4–20 mA loop-powered transmitters in process control systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision shunt regulator maintaining fixed 5.6 V across variable loop impedance. Use Value: Delivers <0.5% regulation error over 0–100 °C, ensuring transmitter output linearity within ±0.1% FS. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C5V6,115 | Same Zener voltage and tolerance, but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and has higher rdiff (600 Ω vs. 400 Ω) | Restricted to commercial-grade consumer electronics; not approved for automotive use | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements |
| MMSZ5232B-TP | 5.6 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, rdiff = 500 Ω, no AEC-Q101 certification | Larger footprint (3.7 × 1.6 mm) and lower surge rating (25 W) limit use in compact automotive modules | Prefer for legacy designs using SOD-123 footprints where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with BZX84-C5V6,115 and MMSZ5232B-TP, the BZX84J-C5V6,115 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, lowest differential resistance (400 Ω), and smallest SOD323F footprint - making it the only choice for next-generation automotive sensor nodes requiring both space efficiency and functional safety compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX84J-C5V6,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per Table 5 (Limiting Values). However, sustained forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; the device is designed for reverse-bias Zener regulation. Forward voltage is specified at 100 mA (1.1 V max), but continuous forward operation above 10 mA risks thermal overstress and violates recommended usage.
Does BZX84J-C5V6,115 support bidirectional transient suppression?
No. It is a unidirectional Zener diode configured for reverse-bias regulation only. Its anode must be held at lower potential than cathode during normal operation. For bidirectional ESD protection, a dedicated TVS diode such as PESD5V0S1BA should be used instead.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
Per Figure 7, the temperature coefficient ranges from −2.0 to +2.5 mV/K near 5.6 V. Over a 165 K span, this introduces up to ±413 mV drift (2.5 mV/K × 165 K), meaning actual Zener voltage may vary from ~5.19 V to ~6.01 V. System-level compensation or tighter-tolerance variants (e.g., BZX84J-B5V6) are needed for sub-1% accuracy across that range.
Can BZX84J-C5V6,115 replace BZX84-C5V6 in existing PCB layouts?
Yes - both use identical SOD323F (SC-90) package dimensions and pinout (cathode bar on same side). The BZX84J-C5V6,115 is a direct drop-in replacement with enhanced AEC-Q101 qualification and improved differential resistance (400 Ω vs. 600 Ω), requiring no layout changes but delivering higher reliability in automotive applications.
