Product details
Overview
PDZ22B-QZ from Nexperia is a single Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power automotive and industrial circuits, with a nominal Zener voltage of 22.0 V (min 21.54 V, max 22.47 V at IZ = 5 mA), ±2 % tolerance, 100 Ω maximum differential resistance at 5 mA, and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at VR = 17.0 V - deployed in ECU power rail clamping and sensor reference stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ22B-QZ datasheet, PDZ22B-QZ pinout, PDZ22B-QZ application, or PDZ22B-QZ equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at low test current (5 mA), thermal coefficient (18.4 mV/K), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (340 K/W on FR4), and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood reliability.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across load variations, with hard-knee breakdown behavior confirmed for PDZ5.1B-Q through PDZ10B-Q variants - though PDZ22B-QZ exhibits slightly higher dynamic impedance (100 Ω) and lower leakage (0.05 μA) than lower-voltage members, reflecting optimized doping for mid-range Zener voltages.
Its SOD323 (SC-76) package enables surface-mount integration into space-constrained PCBs, while thermal performance is defined relative to standard FR4 board mounting: Ptot derates linearly above 25 °C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at ~150 °C per the published curve, and junction temperature is limited to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 21.54 V to 22.47 V at IZ = 5 mA - ensures tight regulation window for 22 V reference rails |
| Differential Resistance rdif | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - limits output voltage shift under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 17.0 V - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed circuits |
| Power Dissipation Ptot | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 - defines maximum continuous clamping energy before thermal shutdown |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +18.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature |
| Forward Voltage VF | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - determines forward conduction loss during polarity-reversal protection use |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth(j-a) | 340 K/W on standard FR4 - sets thermal rise per watt, critical for layout-dependent reliability |
Pinout & Package
PDZ22B-QZ is housed in a SOD323 (SC-76) plastic surface-mount package: 2-terminal, cathode-marked with a bar, 1.35 mm × 0.8 mm footprint, 0.45 mm height, optimized for reflow soldering per IPC-7095 guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (marked side) | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes bias path for controlled conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood operation up to 150 °C junction temperature |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables precise voltage references without post-production trimming in sensor signal chains |
| Hard breakdown knee | Ensures sharp transition into regulation, minimizing ambiguity in threshold detection circuits |
| Low leakage (0.05 μA @ 17 V) | Preserves battery life in always-on vehicle modules such as CAN wake-up receivers |
| SOD323 package compatibility | Supports automated placement and reflow at industry-standard 0.65 mm pitch land patterns |
Applications
| Automotive ECU Power Rail Clamping | Industrial Sensor Reference Stabilization |

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 and 250 Ω rdif at 5 mA; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to non-automotive consumer electronics due to wider voltage spread and unqualified reliability | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and automotive compliance requirements |
| MMSZ5247B | 22 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 100 Ω rdif, but rated only to 350 mW and lacks AEC-Q101 validation | Suitable for commercial-grade power supplies but unsuitable for extended-temperature automotive deployment | Prefer for high-volume industrial boards where thermal margin allows 350 mW derating |
Compared with BZX84-C22 and MMSZ5247B, PDZ22B-QZ delivers tighter voltage control (±2 % vs ±5 %), automotive-grade reliability (AEC-Q101), and identical dynamic impedance - making it the sole choice for safety-critical 22 V reference nodes requiring long-term stability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current IZSM rating for PDZ22B-QZ?
The non-repetitive peak reverse current is 1.3 A at tp = 100 µs, square wave, with Tamb = 25 °C prior to surge. This value is derived from Table 8 in the datasheet and reflects short-duration surge capability during load dump or ESD events - not continuous operation.
Does PDZ22B-QZ support wave soldering?
Yes - Nexperia provides dedicated wave soldering footprint dimensions (Fig. 10) specifying 1.2 mm × 2.75 mm solder lands with 0.6 mm spacing. The SOD323 body is rated for peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds, meeting IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
With SZ = +18.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, VZ increases by ~1.84 V across a 100 °C junction range (25 °C to 125 °C). For applications requiring <1 % total error, this drift must be compensated via circuit design or selected alongside complementary tempcos in feedback networks.
Is the marking code 'ZP' unique to PDZ22B-QZ?
Yes - per Table 4, 'ZP' is the exclusive marking code for PDZ22B-QZ across the PDZ-B-Q series. No other variant uses this identifier, enabling unambiguous visual identification on assembled PCBs and simplifying automated optical inspection (AOI) programming.
