Product details
Overview
PZU11B3,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a precision Zener diode in SOD323F (SC-90) package, designed for voltage regulation and reference functions at 11 V nominal Zener voltage with ±2 % tolerance (B3 grade), 60 Ω maximum differential resistance, and 108 mA non-repetitive peak reverse current. It operates in general-purpose power supply and signal conditioning circuits requiring stable low-power voltage clamping.
For engineers reviewing the PZU11B3,115 datasheet, PZU11B3,115 pinout, PZU11B3,115 application, or PZU11B3,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (230 K/W on standard FR4), junction temperature limit (150 °C), and SOD323F footprint compatibility for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its B3 tolerance grade ensures tight 11.10 V to 11.56 V regulation range at IZ = 5 mA, with low temperature coefficient (±3 mV/K typical) and minimal capacitance (8 pF at 1 MHz).
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs, it supports standard reflow soldering and delivers 310 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C, derating linearly above that ambient temperature per the published curve.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage VZ | 11.10 V to 11.56 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation window for feedback loops |
| Tolerance grade | B3 - ±2 % tolerance, tighter than B/B1/B2 variants for higher reference accuracy |
| Differential resistance rdif | ≤60 Ω - low dynamic impedance ensures stable output under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse current IR | ≤100 nA at VR = 8.8 V - minimal leakage preserves efficiency in low-power bias networks |
| Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) | 230 K/W on FR4 with standard footprint - determines safe operating ambient range at rated power |
| Junction temperature Tj | 150 °C maximum - sets upper thermal limit for reliability in enclosed or high-temp environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B11,115 | Same 11 V nominal, ±2 % (B grade), but SOD323 package (not SOD323F); 400 K/W Rth(j-a) | Higher thermal resistance limits power handling in compact layouts; identical electrical specs otherwise | Select if existing footprint allows SOD323 or thermal derating is acceptable |
| MMSZ5240BT1G | 10 V nominal, ±5 % (B grade), SOD123 package; 100 Ω rdif, 500 nA IR | Lower voltage and looser tolerance; larger footprint reduces board density | Choose only if 10 V reference suffices and layout accommodates larger SOD123 pad geometry |
Compared with PZU11B3,115, BZX384-B11,115 offers identical regulation voltage and tolerance but requires thermal redesign due to higher junction-to-ambient resistance, while MMSZ5240BT1G trades accuracy and size for broader availability and lower cost in less demanding 10 V applications.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for PZU11B3,115 at 5 mA test current?
The PZU11B3,115 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 11.10 V to 11.56 V when measured at IZ = 5 mA and Tj = 25 °C, reflecting its ±2 % B3 tolerance grade as specified in Table 9 of the NXP datasheet. This range ensures predictable regulation behavior in feedback and reference applications without requiring binning or post-selection.
Does PZU11B3,115 support reflow soldering, and what profile is recommended?
Yes, PZU11B3,115 is qualified for reflow soldering only - wave or hand soldering is not recommended. NXP specifies a standard lead-free reflow profile with peak temperature ≤260 °C, consistent with JEDEC J-STD-020. The SOD323F package's thermal characteristics require adherence to this profile to avoid delamination or bond wire damage.
How does the thermal resistance of PZU11B3,115 change with PCB layout?
PZU11B3,115 exhibits Rth(j-a) = 230 K/W on FR4 with standard footprint (Table 6), but degrades to 400 K/W without enhanced copper area. Adding a 1 cm² cathode pad reduces it to 230 K/W, directly impacting maximum allowable power dissipation - e.g., at 70 °C ambient, usable power drops from ~180 mW (standard) to ~250 mW (enhanced pad).
Can PZU11B3,115 be used in place of older PZU11B variants?
Yes, PZU11B3,115 is a direct functional upgrade to PZU11B (±5 %) and PZU11B1/B2 (±2 %), sharing identical SOD323F package, pinout, and absolute maximum ratings. Its tighter B3 tolerance improves reference accuracy without layout or thermal changes, making it a drop-in replacement where enhanced voltage stability is required.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for PZU11B3,115 at 8.8 V?
At VR = 8.8 V and Tj = 25 °C, the maximum reverse leakage current for PZU11B3,115 is 100 nA, as confirmed in Table 9 of the NXP datasheet. This low leakage supports energy-efficient bias networks in battery-powered devices and minimizes error in high-impedance reference dividers.
