Product details
Overview
PDZ22B-QX from Nexperia is a single silicon Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power circuits, featuring a nominal Zener voltage of 22.0 V at 5 mA, ±2 % tolerance, 25 Ω maximum differential resistance at 5 mA, 0.05 μA maximum reverse current at 17 V, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ22B-QX datasheet, PDZ22B-QX pinout, PDZ22B-QX application, or PDZ22B-QX equivalent, this device supports stable voltage clamping in power supply feedback paths, ESD-protected sensor biasing, and automotive body control module references where compact SOD323 packaging and thermal robustness up to +150 °C junction temperature are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a hard knee characteristic, enabling sharp voltage regulation at low test currents (IZ = 5 mA). Its 21.54 V to 22.47 V working voltage range and −18.4 mV/K temperature coefficient at 5 mA support predictable drift compensation in analog reference designs.
The device delivers 400 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB with standard footprint, derating linearly above 25 °C ambient, and exhibits 130 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance-critical for thermal management in densely populated automotive PCBs.
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 stabilization |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤ 25 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 0.05 μA at VR = 17 V - guarantees ultra-low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 130 K/W - enables accurate junction temperature estimation from solder point measurement |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −18.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree for thermal error budgeting |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - determines conduction loss when used in forward-biased protection paths |
Pinout & Package
PDZ22B-QX is housed in a SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.8 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm, with cathode identified by a marking 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 aligns with this terminal |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential reference; completes reverse-bias path for voltage regulation |

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 | Same 22 V nominal Zener, but ±5 % tolerance and higher 60 Ω rdif; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to commercial-grade power supplies; unsuitable for automotive environments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and qualification requirements |
| MMSZ5247B | 22 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 35 Ω rdif, 100 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package | Lower power handling and larger footprint; lacks automotive qualification | Choose only for non-automotive, low-power applications where board space permits larger package |
Compared with BZX84-C22 and MMSZ5247B, PDZ22B-QX offers tighter voltage tolerance, lower dynamic impedance, higher power capability, and full AEC-Q101 compliance-making it the sole option for automotive-grade 22 V reference and clamping where reliability and precision are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for PDZ22B-QX?
The PDZ22B-QX has a specified working voltage range of 21.54 V to 22.47 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown begins within this band; operation above 22.47 V is not guaranteed and may exceed limiting values. The absolute maximum reverse voltage is defined by the 17 V reverse test condition in the leakage specification-not a breakdown threshold.
Can PDZ22B-QX be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No-Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and mismatched characteristics that cause current hogging when paralleled. This leads to thermal instability and premature failure. For higher power, use a single higher-rated device or implement active regulation instead.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-Nexperia specifies compatibility with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles. The recommended footprint (Figure 9) uses 0.6 mm × 0.5 mm solder pads with 0.5 mm pitch; peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds to avoid package damage or delamination.
How does the −18.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit accuracy?
This coefficient means the Zener voltage decreases by 18.4 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. Over a 100 °C rise (e.g., −40 °C to +60 °C ambient), voltage drops ~1.84 V-requiring system-level compensation or selection of adjacent voltage grades (e.g., PDZ24B-QX) to offset drift in critical references.
