Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-B22-QYL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in the BZX8850S-Q series, designed for precision voltage reference and regulation in space-constrained, low-power circuits. It delivers a nominal 22 V Zener voltage (±2 % tolerance), 250 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, and operates with only 50 μA test current - enabling ultra-low-bias operation in battery-powered sensor nodes and automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850S-B22-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-B22-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-B22-QYL application, or BZX8850S-B22-QYL equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, side-wettable-flank DFN1006BD-2 package details, thermal resistance (340 K/W), and real-world use cases in automotive voltage monitoring and portable power management.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under reverse bias. Its specified Zener voltage of 22 V (B-series ±2 %) is guaranteed at IZ = 50 μA, with differential resistance ≤250 Ω at 5 mA and temperature coefficient of +16.7 mV/K - indicating positive drift with junction temperature rise.
The SOD882BD (DFN1006BD-2) package features side-wettable flanks for automated optical solder-joint inspection, and its thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 340 K/W on FR4 PCB - limiting continuous power dissipation to 365 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C per derating curves.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 22 V nominal, ±2 % tolerance (B-series); stable reference point for 22 V rail regulation |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | ≤250 Ω at IZ = 5 mA; ensures low dynamic impedance for noise suppression in feedback paths |
| Test Current IZ | 50 μA; enables operation in micro-power systems where bias current must be minimized |
| Forward Voltage VF | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA; defines conduction threshold in forward direction for protection or clamping |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 365 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB; sets maximum steady-state thermal load |
| Junction Temperature Tj | −55 °C to +150 °C; supports operation in under-hood automotive environments |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (marked side) | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated voltage node; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes shunt regulation path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C22 | ±5 % tolerance, SOT-23 package, 350 mW Ptot, rdiff ≈ 300 Ω at 5 mA | Larger footprint (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm), no AEC-Q101 qualification, higher leakage at low IZ | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where ±5 % tolerance is acceptable and board space is not constrained. |
| MMSZ5247B | ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, rdiff ≈ 33 Ω at 20 mA | Higher power rating but requires ≥20 mA test current; no side-wettable flanks; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Prefer when higher current regulation (>5 mA) is needed and AOI inspection is not required. |
Compared with BZX8850S-B22-QYL, BZX84-C22 trades tighter tolerance and automotive qualification for lower cost and wider availability, while MMSZ5247B offers lower dynamic impedance at higher bias but lacks low-current capability and AEC-Q101 validation - making the BZX8850S-B22-QYL uniquely suited for miniaturized, battery-operated automotive sensing.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can regulate continuously?
The BZX8850S-B22-QYL is rated for continuous Zener operation up to its nominal 22 V (±2 %), with absolute maximum reverse voltage limited by its 365 mW power dissipation ceiling at 25 °C ambient. At 22 V, this corresponds to a maximum continuous Zener current of 16.6 mA - derating linearly above 25 °C per the 340 K/W thermal resistance.
Does the marking 'SY' on the top indicate the cathode?
Yes. Per Table 4 and Figure 9 in the datasheet, BZX8850S-B22-QYL uses the marking code 'SY', and the cathode is identified by the marking bar on the top surface - consistent with Pin 1 designation in Table 2. The bar aligns with the cathode terminal (K), which is electrically Pin 1 in the DFN1006BD-2 outline.
Can this Zener be used in place of a 22 V TL431-based shunt regulator?
No - the BZX8850S-B22-QYL is a passive two-terminal Zener diode, whereas the TL431 is an active three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with internal reference and amplifier. This part cannot replicate TL431's programmability, low output impedance, or current-sinking capability beyond 16.6 mA, but it serves as a simpler, lower-cost, lower-quiescent alternative where fixed 22 V regulation suffices.
Is the 50 μA test current the only recommended operating point?
No - the 50 μA value is the standardized test condition for specifying nominal VZ and tolerance; the device operates reliably across 10 μA to 16.6 mA (at 25 °C). However, differential resistance improves significantly above 1 mA (e.g., 250 Ω at 5 mA), so design should balance regulation accuracy, noise, and quiescent current based on system requirements.
