Product details
Overview
BZX8850-B22YL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD882 (DFN1006-2) package, designed for precision voltage reference and low-power biasing in portable electronics. It delivers 22 V nominal Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, ±2 % tolerance, 250 mW total power dissipation, and 250 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, enabling stable regulation in battery-powered sensor nodes and microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850-B22YL datasheet, BZX8850-B22YL pinout, BZX8850-B22YL application, or BZX8850-B22YL equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and validated alternative parts for low-current voltage reference design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with a specified 22 V nominal working voltage (20.9–23.1 V range), optimized for low-bias conditions using 50 µA test current-ideal for ultra-low-power standby regulation. Its ±2 % tolerance and intentional minor leakage current improve switching speed and noise performance per AN90031.
The device exhibits 250 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, −0.05 mV/K temperature coefficient near 22 V, and 60 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, supporting stable DC reference generation without significant thermal drift or capacitive loading in signal-path applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal, 20.9–23.1 V min/max at IZ = 50 µA - ensures tight reference accuracy for analog monitoring circuits |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - enables high-precision voltage clamping in feedback loops without external trimming |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 250 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - maintains low output impedance under light load variation |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB - supports continuous operation in space-constrained IoT modules |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - allows predictable forward conduction during transient overvoltage events |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - permits reliable operation in industrial ambient environments up to +125 °C |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 16.7 V - minimizes quiescent current draw in always-on battery circuits |
Pinout & Package
SOD882 (DFN1006-2) leadless ultra-small surface-mount package: 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm body, tin-plated terminals, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity-sensitive connection for reverse-bias operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes Zener conduction path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low test current operation | Specified at 50 µA - reduces standby power in coin-cell-powered devices without sacrificing regulation fidelity |
| Optimized leakage profile | Intentional minor rise per AN90031 - improves transient response and reduces broadband noise in reference paths |
| Ultra-small footprint | SOD882 (1.0 × 0.6 mm) - enables placement in dense wearable PCB layouts with minimal board area impact |
| Stable temperature coefficient | −0.05 mV/K near 22 V - limits voltage drift to < ±1.1 mV over −40 to +85 °C ambient range |
| Controlled junction capacitance | 60 pF at 0 V - avoids signal coupling issues in high-impedance ADC reference inputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8850-C22 | ±5 % tolerance, identical 22 V nominal, same SOD882 package | Higher voltage variation acceptable in non-critical biasing where cost sensitivity outweighs precision | Select when ±5 % regulation accuracy suffices and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
| MMSZ5247B | 20 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.7 mm), 500 mW Ptot | Larger footprint and higher power rating suitable for higher-current reference designs | Choose only if board layout accommodates larger package and >250 mW dissipation is required |
Compared with BZX8850-C22, the BZX8850-B22YL offers tighter ±2 % tolerance for precision references; versus MMSZ5247B, it provides 44 % smaller footprint and lower quiescent current but trades off absolute power handling capacity.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX8850-B22YL?
The BZX8850-B22YL has a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 20.9 V and 23.1 V respectively at 50 µA test current. Breakdown occurs within this range; operation above 23.1 V risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may cause irreversible damage.
Can BZX8850-B22YL be used in series with other Zeners to achieve higher reference voltages?
Yes, BZX8850-B22YL can be cascaded in series to generate higher reference voltages, provided each device receives sufficient current to remain in regulation and thermal derating is applied for cumulative power dissipation. Total voltage equals sum of individual VZ values, but tolerance accumulates linearly.
Is the SOD882 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes, the SOD882 package is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Recommended peak temperature is 260 °C with 30-second duration above 217 °C. The footprint shown in Figure 10 of the datasheet must be followed to ensure reliable solder joint formation and thermal relief.
Does BZX8850-B22YL require a series current-limiting resistor in all applications?
Yes, a series current-limiting resistor is mandatory to prevent thermal runaway. The resistor value must be selected to maintain Zener current between 50 µA (minimum regulation) and 200 mA (absolute maximum forward current), while accounting for input voltage variation and power dissipation in both resistor and diode.
