Product details
Overview
PZU22BA,115 from Nexperia is a general-purpose Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, designed for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits. It delivers a nominal 22 V Zener voltage with ±2 % tolerance (B2 series), 100 Ω maximum differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, 25 nA reverse current at IZ = 0.5 mA, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature - deployed in power supply feedback loops and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the PZU22BA,115 datasheet, PZU22BA,115 pinout, PZU22BA,115 application, or PZU22BA,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, dynamic impedance at regulation current, thermal resistance to ambient (255 K/W on 1 cm² cathode pad), and non-repetitive surge capability (17 A peak reverse current).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with hard knee characteristics optimized for stable voltage reference under low-current conditions (IZ = 5 mA). Its differential resistance of ≤100 Ω ensures minimal output voltage variation across load changes in shunt regulation topologies.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +1.3 mV/K at 22 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 55 K/W, supporting reliable operation on standard FR4 PCBs with tin-plated copper.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 22 V nominal, ±2 % tolerance (B2 series) - ensures tight regulation in feedback networks requiring <±0.44 V deviation. |
| Differential Resistance rdif | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - maintains stable output voltage under small load variations in shunt regulators. |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤25 nA at IZ = 0.5 mA - minimizes standby power loss in battery-powered voltage reference circuits. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current IZSM | 17 A (tp = 100 µs) - provides transient overvoltage clamping capability without device failure. |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 320 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 - defines continuous DC power handling in compact SMD layouts. |
| Junction Temperature Tj | 150 °C maximum - enables use in industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. |
| Thermal Resistance Rth(j-sp) | 55 K/W to solder point - allows accurate thermal modeling when mounted on defined cathode pad area. |
Pinout & Package
SOD323 (SC-76) plastic surface-mount package: 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm body, 1.3 mm lead pitch, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation. |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path during Zener conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dynamic impedance at low current | 100 Ω max at 5 mA enables precise voltage reference in micro-power applications. |
| Hard breakdown knee | Sharp turn-on characteristic reduces regulation hysteresis in feedback control loops. |
| Optimized leakage for noise reduction | Controlled 25 nA IR at 0.5 mA supports low-noise analog signal conditioning. |
| High surge robustness | 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating (100 µs pulse) protects downstream circuitry from transients. |
| Small-outline SMD compatibility | SOD323 footprint allows high-density placement in space-constrained consumer and industrial PCBs. |

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 | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %), 130 Ω rdif, 100 nA IR at 0.5 mA | Lower accuracy and higher impedance reduce regulation stability in precision feedback paths. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage accuracy requirements in non-critical clamping roles. |
| MMSZ5247B | SOD-123 package (larger footprint), 20 V nominal, ±5 %, 23 Ω rdif but only rated to 500 mW Ptot | Higher power dissipation margin but incompatible pin layout and different voltage grade. | Choose only if board redesign accommodates larger package and 20 V regulation suffices. |
Compared with BZX84-C22 and MMSZ5247B, PZU22BA,115 offers superior voltage accuracy and lower leakage in the smallest SOD323 footprint, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-stability shunt references - whereas alternatives trade precision for cost or power handling.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for PZU22BA,115?
PZU22BA,115 uses the B2 tolerance series, specifying a nominal 22 V Zener voltage with ±2 % deviation (21.56 V to 22.44 V) at IZ = 5 mA and Tj = 25 °C. This tighter tolerance than standard ±5 % Zeners supports higher-accuracy regulation in feedback loops and reference designs.
Can PZU22BA,115 be used in place of a 20 V Zener diode?
No - PZU22BA,115 is specifically rated for 22 V nominal Zener voltage and is not interchangeable with 20 V devices like MMSZ5247B. Substituting alters regulation setpoint by 10 %, potentially causing overvoltage or undervoltage in feedback circuits and invalidating loop stability margins.
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating?
The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per limiting values table. However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; sustained forward bias exceeds thermal limits and risks permanent degradation. It must operate in reverse-biased Zener region for regulation.
How does the temperature coefficient affect long-term stability?
At 22 V, PZU22BA,115 has a +1.3 mV/K temperature coefficient, meaning output voltage rises ~28.6 mV over a 22 °C ambient increase. This predictable drift enables software-based compensation in calibrated systems but requires thermal shielding in ultra-stable references.
