Product details
Overview
BZX8850-C47YL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD882 (DFN1006-2) package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 47 V nominal with ±5 % tolerance. It delivers stable reference voltage at 50 μA test current, features 375 Ω differential resistance at 2 mA, and exhibits 0.05 μA reverse leakage at rated voltage-optimized for battery-powered sensor nodes and low-power analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850-C47YL datasheet, BZX8850-C47YL pinout, BZX8850-C47YL application, or BZX8850-C47YL equivalent, this device serves as a compact, low-bias voltage reference where thermal stability, minimal capacitance (40 pF), and fast transient response are critical in space-constrained portable electronics.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified 47 V nominal working voltage (44.0–50.0 V range) and temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K, enabling predictable drift compensation in ambient-temperature-varying circuits. Its 375 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA ensures tight regulation under light-load conditions typical of microcontroller reset circuits and ADC reference buffers.
The device uses a planar epitaxial silicon process with intentional minor leakage optimization per AN90031, reducing noise and improving switching speed during transient events. Thermal resistance is 500 K/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 PCB, limiting continuous power dissipation to 250 mW at ≤25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications

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-B47 | ±2 % tolerance, 350 Ω rdiff at 5 mA, 0.05 μA IR at 47 V | Higher precision required in calibration-grade instrumentation | Select when tighter voltage accuracy outweighs cost sensitivity and test current must be ≥5 mA |
| MMSZ47ET1G | ±5 % tolerance, 500 Ω rdiff at 1 mA, 1.0 μA IR at 47 V, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm) | Legacy board redesign where larger footprint is acceptable | Choose only if existing layout cannot accommodate DFN1006-2; higher leakage increases battery load 20× |
Compared with BZX8850-C47YL, the BZX8850-B47 offers tighter tolerance but requires higher bias current, while MMSZ47ET1G trades size and leakage performance for broader industry availability-making the C47YL optimal for new ultra-low-power, space-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX8850-C47YL?
The BZX8850-C47YL has a maximum total power dissipation of 250 mW at ambient temperatures ≤25 °C when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. Derating is required above 25 °C at 2.0 mW/°C, reaching zero dissipation at 150 °C ambient.
Can BZX8850-C47YL be used in place of a 47 V Zener with 1 mA test current?
No-it is specified at 50 μA test current, not 1 mA. Using it at 1 mA will cause significant voltage deviation (up to +0.5 V) due to its 375 Ω dynamic resistance. For 1 mA operation, BZX8850-B47 (specified at 5 mA) or BZX8850-C47 at 2 mA (per Table 9) is appropriate.
How does the "intentional minor leakage" benefit circuit performance?
Per AN90031, the controlled leakage improves transient response and reduces high-frequency noise by optimizing carrier recombination dynamics. This results in faster recovery after overvoltage events and lower RMS noise in precision reference paths-critical for 16-bit ADC stability.
Is the SOD882 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes-the DFN1006-2 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles. Figure 10 specifies a recommended solder land pattern with 0.3 mm pad width and 0.6 mm spacing; peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds to avoid delamination.
