Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-C56-QYL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in the BZX8850S-Q series, designed for precision biasing and voltage reference in space-constrained, low-power circuits. It delivers a nominal 56 V Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, with ±5 % tolerance, 365 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850S-C56-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-C56-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-C56-QYL application, or BZX8850S-C56-QYL equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-small DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) package, side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection, low leakage optimization for noise-sensitive analog rails, and specified performance at 50 µA bias current.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable reverse-biased breakdown across a 56 V nominal working voltage with differential resistance of ≤400 Ω at IZ = 2 mA. Its temperature coefficient is +0.05 mV/K, indicating minimal drift over ambient range (−55 °C to +150 °C).
The diode exhibits low capacitance (≤40 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V) and reverse current ≤0.05 µA at VR = 51 V, enabling clean regulation in high-impedance sensor bias networks and low-quiescent-power microcontroller reset circuits.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8850S-B56-Q | Nominal 56 V with ±2 % tolerance; lower rdiff (≤350 Ω) but higher cost | Required where tighter regulation stability is critical, e.g., precision instrumentation calibration | Select when absolute voltage accuracy outweighs cost and leakage trade-offs |
| MMSZ5256B-TP | 56 V Zener, ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm); 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 rating | Suitable for industrial/commercial boards where automotive qualification is unnecessary | Choose for legacy footprint compatibility or higher power margin, accepting larger size and non-automotive status |
Compared with BZX8850S-C56-QYL, the BZX8850S-B56-Q offers tighter voltage control at higher cost and slightly lower leakage, while MMSZ5256B-TP provides greater power headroom in a larger, non-automotive-qualified package - making the C56-QYL optimal for space- and qualification-constrained automotive and portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX8850S-C56-QYL has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V at 50 µA test current, with a guaranteed minimum breakdown voltage of 53.2 V and maximum of 58.8 V (±5 %). It is not rated for continuous operation above its specified VZ range; sustained reverse voltage exceeding 58.8 V risks thermal runaway unless current is strictly limited by external series resistance.
Does this part support automated optical inspection (AOI) during PCB assembly?
Yes - the DFN1006BD-2 package features side-wettable flanks (SWF), allowing AOI systems to visually verify solder fillet formation on both lateral edges of the terminals. This eliminates the need for X-ray inspection in standard reflow processes and improves first-pass yield in high-volume automotive electronics manufacturing.
How does the "C-series" designation affect leakage and noise performance?
The "C" suffix indicates intentional minor elevation of reverse leakage current versus "B"-series parts, as documented in Application Note AN90031. This design choice reduces switching noise and improves transient response in feedback loops, making it preferred for low-noise analog references and fast comparator threshold circuits - without compromising regulation accuracy.
Can this Zener diode be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing variations in VZ and dynamic resistance, causing current imbalance when paralleled. Even with matched units, thermal coupling differences lead to thermal runaway. For higher power, select a single higher-rated device (e.g., BZX85 series in DO-35) or implement active regulation; do not parallel BZX8850S-C56-QYL units.
