Product details
Overview
BZX8850-B1V8YL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD882 (DFN1006-2) package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 1.8 V nominal with ±2 % tolerance. It delivers stable reference voltage at 50 μA test current, features 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA, and supports ≤250 mW total power dissipation. It is used in battery-powered sensor nodes requiring ultra-low bias current and tight voltage stability.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850-B1V8YL datasheet, BZX8850-B1V8YL pinout, BZX8850-B1V8YL application, or BZX8850-B1V8YL equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), low test current operation (50 μA), thermal resistance (500 K/W), cathode/anode terminal assignment, and DFN1006-2 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining 1.8 V across its terminals under reverse-bias conditions at IZ = 50 μA. Its differential resistance is ≤600 Ω at 50 μA and ≤100 Ω at 1 mA, enabling stable regulation even with small load variations.
The diode exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K and capacitance of 220 pF at 0 V, making it suitable for low-noise analog references where thermal drift and parasitic coupling must be minimized in portable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 1.76 V to 1.84 V at IZ = 50 μA - ensures ±2 % accuracy for precision low-voltage reference generation |

| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB - defines maximum continuous thermal load in standard SMT mounting |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | ≤ 600 Ω at 50 μA; ≤ 100 Ω at 1 mA - determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity to current changes |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤ 1.0 μA at VR = 1.0 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current draw in always-on battery monitoring circuits |
| Thermal Resistance Rth(j-a) | 500 K/W in free air on FR4 - establishes junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt of dissipated power |
| Junction Temperature Tj | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in extended industrial and automotive-adjacent environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5221BS | 1.8 V, ±5 % tolerance, SOT-23 package (2.9 × 1.3 mm), 350 mW Ptot | Larger footprint and looser tolerance; higher power handling but less suitable for ultra-dense layouts | Select when board space permits and ±5 % regulation accuracy is acceptable for cost-sensitive designs |
| Vishay BZX84-C1V8 | 1.8 V, ±5 % tolerance, SOT-23 package, 300 mW Ptot, rdiff ≤ 120 Ω at 5 mA | Higher test current (5 mA), larger package, no 50 μA specification - unsuitable for sub-μA biasing | Choose only if system can support ≥5 mA Zener current and requires higher surge immunity |
Compared with MMBZ5221BS and BZX84-C1V8, BZX8850-B1V8YL offers superior space efficiency (75 % smaller footprint), tighter ±2 % tolerance, and verified 50 μA operation-critical for energy-harvesting and coin-cell–powered systems where every microamp and square millimeter matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can regulate before breakdown?
The BZX8850-B1V8YL is rated for nominal Zener voltage of 1.8 V at 50 μA, with guaranteed regulation between 1.76 V and 1.84 V. Its absolute maximum reverse voltage is not defined separately-it operates within its specified VZ window under controlled current; exceeding 2.0 V risks entering unregulated or avalanche-limited regions per datasheet Fig. 5.
Can this diode be used in series with another Zener to achieve 3.6 V regulation?
No-BZX8850-B1V8YL is not characterized for series operation. Its low test current (50 μA) and tight tolerance assume single-diode shunt configuration. Series stacking introduces mismatched temperature coefficients (−3.5 mV/K each) and uncontrolled current sharing, violating datasheet operating conditions and risking regulation instability.
Is the SOD882 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes-the device is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles. Figure 10 specifies a recommended solder land pattern for DFN1006-2, and the package withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, matching IPC-7095 guidelines for Class 3 assembly.
Does the 'YL' suffix indicate tape-and-reel packaging or a special screening grade?
The 'YL' suffix denotes standard commercial-grade packaging in 10,000-piece 8 mm tape-and-reel format per Nexperia ordering code conventions. It carries no enhanced screening, automotive qualification, or moisture sensitivity level (MSL) deviation beyond the base SOD882 specification (MSL1, floor life unlimited).
