Product details
Overview
BZX884-C36,315 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode with 36 V nominal regulation voltage, 250 mW total power dissipation, and SOD882 (DFN1006-2) ultra-small surface-mount package. It operates as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in low-power analog circuits, ESD protection clamps, and high-frequency bias networks.
For engineers reviewing the BZX884-C36,315 datasheet, BZX884-C36,315 pinout, BZX884-C36,315 application, or BZX884-C36,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), differential resistance (80 Ω at 2 mA), temperature coefficient (+33.0 mV/K), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (500 K/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across load variations, with specified test current of 2 mA per IEC 60134 limiting values. Its low 35 pF capacitance at 0 V and fast ESD response support high-frequency signal line protection.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +33.0 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, indicating voltage increases with junction temperature-critical for thermal drift compensation in precision references. It is rated for non-repetitive peak reverse current up to 0.8 A under 100 µs surge conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 35.28 V to 36.72 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines regulation window for stable reference under load |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 80 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +33.0 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 nA max at VR = 0.7 × VZnom - ensures minimal leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 45 pF max at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - limits high-frequency signal attenuation in RF/ESD paths |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 0.8 A at tp = 100 µs - supports transient suppression without failure in ESD events |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets maximum continuous DC or average pulsed power handling |
Pinout & Package
SOD882 (DFN1006-2) is a leadless ultra-small plastic package measuring 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and reflow soldering. The cathode is marked by a visible bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias anode-to-cathode voltage establishes Zener conduction |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation or clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics use, including engine control units and body electronics modules |
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables cost-effective voltage referencing where tight regulation is not required, e.g., overvoltage detection thresholds |
| Ultra-small SOD882 footprint | Reduces board area by >50 % vs. SOD-123, supporting miniaturized wearables and IoT sensor nodes |
| Low 35 pF capacitance | Maintains signal integrity above 100 MHz in RF front-end bias and ESD protection circuits |
| 250 mW power rating | Supports continuous regulation in low-current applications (<7 mA at 36 V) without heatsinking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX884-B36,315 | ±2 % tolerance (35.28–36.72 V → 35.64–36.36 V), lower rdiff (50 Ω), tighter tempco (±2.5 mV/K) | Required where regulation accuracy >±1 % is critical, e.g., precision ADC references | Select for metrology-grade stability; avoid if cost sensitivity outweighs 0.36 V tighter window |
| MMBZ5227BLT1G | ±5 % tolerance, 36 V nominal, SOT-23 package (2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm), Ptot = 350 mW, rdiff = 70 Ω | Preferred when higher power margin or manual assembly compatibility is needed | Choose for prototyping or legacy SOT-23 footprints; reject for space-constrained designs requiring DFN1006-2 size |
Compared with BZX884-B36,315, the C36 variant trades regulation precision for cost and offers higher thermal resistance (500 K/W vs. ~350 K/W), while MMBZ5227BLT1G provides greater power headroom but occupies 4.5× more PCB area-making BZX884-C36,315 optimal for volume automotive and miniaturized industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX884-C36,315 can sustain at 25 °C ambient?
The device is rated for continuous operation at up to 7 mA DC reverse current, derived from its 250 mW power limit and 36 V Zener voltage (P = V × I → I = 250 mW / 36 V ≈ 6.94 mA). Exceeding this value risks thermal runaway unless board-level copper area or forced cooling is added.
How does the +33.0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit performance in a 36 V reference design?
A +33.0 mV/K coefficient means the Zener voltage rises by 33 mV per 1 °C increase in junction temperature. Over a 100 °C range (−40 °C to +60 °C ambient), this introduces up to ±3.3 V drift-requiring thermal compensation in precision applications or limiting use to environments with <±10 °C variation.
Can BZX884-C36,315 be used for bidirectional ESD protection?
No-it is a unidirectional Zener diode configured only for reverse-bias clamping. For bidirectional ESD protection, a TVS diode pair or dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., PESD5V0S1BA) is required; using two BZX884-C36,315 devices back-to-back would not provide symmetric clamping behavior or certified IEC 61000-4-2 performance.
Is the SOD882 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes-the SOD882 footprint is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant lead-free reflow, with peak temperatures up to 260 °C. The recommended solder land pattern (0.6 mm pad width, 0.7 mm length, 0.9 mm center-to-center pitch) ensures reliable wetting and mechanical strength without tombstoning.
