Product details
Overview
PDZ22B-QF from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 22 V nominal working voltage with ±2 % tolerance, 100 Ω max differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, and 0.05 μA max reverse current at VR = 17 V - used in automotive power rail clamping and low-power reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ22B-QF datasheet, PDZ22B-QF pinout, PDZ22B-QF application, or PDZ22B-QF equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring stable 22 V Zener regulation, low leakage, hard breakdown knee, and surface-mount compatibility on FR4 PCBs with standard reflow footprints.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates with a nominal Zener voltage of 21.54 V to 22.47 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +18.4 mV/K and diode capacitance of 84 pF at f = 1 MHz and VR = 0 V. Its thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 340 K/W on standard FR4 PCB.
It delivers 400 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C, derating linearly above that temperature, and supports non-repetitive peak reverse current up to 1.3 A with tp = 100 μs - enabling transient overvoltage suppression in 12 V/24 V automotive subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 21.54 V to 22.47 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 22 V rail protection |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 100 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures stable regulation under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse Current IR | 0.05 μA max at VR = 17 V - enables ultra-low standby power in always-on circuits |
| Forward Voltage VF | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - supports bidirectional ESD protection when paired with series resistor |
| Power Dissipation Ptot | 400 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets thermal design margin for compact SMD layouts |
| Thermal Resistance Rth(j-a) | 340 K/W - determines junction temperature rise under continuous Zener bias conditions |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD |
Pinout & Package
PDZ22B-QF uses the SOD323 (SC-76) plastic surface-mount package: 2-terminal, 1.35 mm × 0.8 mm body, 0.45 mm pitch, cathode marked by a bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased during Zener operation; marking bar identifies this terminal |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes Zener conduction path during overvoltage events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hard breakdown knee | Enables sharp, predictable turn-on at VZ without soft rollover - critical for accurate voltage clamping |
| Low dynamic impedance | 100 Ω max at 5 mA - maintains regulation stability across varying load currents in feedback paths |
| Ultra-low leakage | 0.05 μA max at 17 V - minimizes quiescent current in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood environments including 1000-cycle temperature cycling and 1000 h HTRB |
| SOD323 footprint | Compatible with standard reflow soldering per IPC-7095; 0.6 mm pad width supports high-yield assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C22 | Same 22 V nominal, but ±5 % tolerance, 625 mW Ptot, SOT23 package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable for industrial non-automotive use; higher leakage (1 μA @ 17 V) and softer knee | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and tight regulation needs |
| MMSZ5247B | 22 V nominal, ±5 %, 500 mW, SOD123 package, no AEC-Q101, 150 Ω rdif at 20 mA | Larger footprint; higher thermal resistance (400 K/W); unsuitable for space-constrained automotive modules | Prefer only if existing SOD123 layout prohibits SOD323 adoption |
Compared with BZX84-C22 and MMSZ5247B, PDZ22B-QF offers tighter tolerance, lower leakage, AEC-Q101 validation, and superior dynamic impedance - making it the sole choice for automotive 22 V rail protection where reliability and precision are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for PDZ22B-QF at 85 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 85 °C, the derated power dissipation is 240 mW (per Fig. 1 derating curve), so maximum continuous Zener current is 240 mW ÷ 22 V ≈ 10.9 mA. This assumes FR4 PCB mounting with standard footprint and no forced airflow.
Does PDZ22B-QF support bidirectional ESD protection?
No - PDZ22B-QF is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias regulation. For bidirectional ESD protection, a TVS diode such as PESD5V0S1BA should be used instead; forward conduction is limited to 0.9 V at 10 mA and not rated for surge handling.
How does the +18.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
Over that range, ΔT = 165 K, so total VZ shift is +18.4 mV/K × 165 K ≈ +3.04 V - resulting in VZ spanning ~21.5 V to ~24.5 V. System-level compensation (e.g., using TC-matched resistors) is required for sub-1 % accuracy across full automotive temperature range.
Can PDZ22B-QF replace PDZ22B in legacy designs?
Yes - PDZ22B-QF is the AEC-Q101-qualified variant of PDZ22B, sharing identical electrical specs, SOD323 package, and marking code "ZP". The "QF" suffix denotes automotive qualification; no layout or schematic changes are needed for drop-in replacement in new designs targeting automotive compliance.
