Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-B11-QYL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in an ultra-small DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) package, designed for precision biasing and voltage reference in space-constrained automotive and portable electronics. It delivers a nominal 11 V regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance, 365 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood applications.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850S-B11-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-B11-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-B11-QYL application, or BZX8850S-B11-QYL equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-leakage optimized switching behavior, side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection, 11 V nominal Zener voltage with tight 10.8–11.2 V range, and thermal resistance of 340 K/W on FR4 PCB.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across load circuits. Its specified Zener voltage is measured at IZ = 50 µA - enabling ultra-low quiescent current operation ideal for battery-backed sensors and always-on monitoring nodes.
The BZX8850S-B11-QYL features intentional minor leakage rise per AN90031 to reduce noise and improve transient response during fast switching events. Its junction temperature rating of 150 °C and AEC-Q101 qualification confirm suitability for automotive ambient conditions up to +125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Differential Resistance rdiff | ≤150 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - maintains regulation stability under small load variations in low-power rails |
| Forward Voltage VF | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables use as polarity protection or clamping diode without excessive forward drop |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 365 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 - defines maximum continuous power handling in typical PCB layouts |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth(j-a) | 340 K/W - quantifies thermal performance on single-sided copper PCB, critical for derating in high-temp enclosures |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 8.4 V - confirms low leakage below knee voltage, essential for standby power integrity |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +5.4 mV/K - indicates positive drift with temperature, enabling predictable compensation in reference circuits |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX8850S-B11-QYL is rated for a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V with a guaranteed range of 10.8–11.2 V at 50 µA. Its absolute maximum non-repetitive peak reverse voltage is defined by the 40 W surge rating at 100 µs pulse width, but steady-state operation must remain within the 11 V regulation band. Exceeding 11.2 V continuously risks thermal runaway due to its 365 mW power limit.
Does this part support automated optical inspection (AOI) during PCB assembly?
Yes - the DFN1006BD-2 package features side-wettable flanks (SWF), allowing solder joint inspection via AOI systems. This design enables reliable detection of insufficient solder, bridging, or misalignment during high-volume SMT manufacturing, directly supporting IPC-A-610 Class 2 and Class 3 compliance for automotive electronics.
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" affect circuit performance?
Per AN90031, the controlled increase in leakage improves dynamic response and reduces high-frequency noise during switching transitions. In practice, this yields faster stabilization after load transients and lower RMS noise in reference rails - verified in applications like ADC biasing and RF front-end regulation where signal integrity is critical.
Can this Zener diode be used in series or parallel configurations for higher voltage or current handling?
No - the BZX8850S-B11-QYL is not characterized for series or parallel operation. Its tight ±2 % tolerance and process-matched leakage behavior are optimized for single-device use. Parallel connection risks current imbalance due to VZ mismatch; series stacking introduces cumulative tolerance and thermal coupling issues. For higher voltage, select the appropriate single-device variant (e.g., BZX8850S-B12-Q).
