Product details
Overview
PZU884LS-C12-Q from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal 12 V breakdown voltage, ultra-small DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) package, side-wettable flanks, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It delivers 9 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, 6.0 mV/K temperature coefficient, and 105 pF capacitance at 1 MHz, enabling stable reference generation in space-constrained power rails.
For engineers reviewing the PZU884LS-C12-Q datasheet, PZU884LS-C12-Q pinout, PZU884LS-C12-Q application, or PZU884LS-C12-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at low bias current, thermal resistance (340 K/W), leakage current (<0.1 μA at VR = 10 V), and compatibility with reflow-soldered automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 12 V reference across varying load and line conditions. Its hard breakdown knee and low leakage support precision regulation in low-power sensor biasing and microcontroller reset circuits.
The device uses silicon planar technology with optimized doping profiles to achieve tight voltage tolerance and predictable temperature coefficient behavior. Its side-wettable flanks enable automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints on automotive-grade assemblies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11.42 V to 12.60 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation window under nominal bias |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 80 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | 6.0 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature |
| Reverse Current (IR) | <0.1 μA at VR = 10 V - ensures minimal quiescent power loss in standby regulation |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 365 mW on FR4 PCB - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in standard layout |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| Package | DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD), 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.47 mm - enables high-density placement on compact PCBs |
Pinout & Package
DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) is a 2-terminal, leadless surface-mount plastic package with side-wettable flanks, 0.65 mm pitch, and cathode indicated by a marking bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity must be observed for correct reverse-bias operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes Zener conduction path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder fillets on automotive PCBs without X-ray |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics |
| Hard breakdown knee | Ensures sharp turn-on and minimal voltage hysteresis during transient load changes |
| Low leakage current | <0.1 μA at 10 V reverse bias reduces standby power in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| Ultra-small footprint | 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm area saves >70 % board space vs. traditional SOD-123 packages |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C12 | ±5 % tolerance, SOT-23 package, 350 mW Ptot, 100 Ω rdif at 5 mA | Larger footprint (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm), no side-wettable flanks, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Preferred for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AOI and space constraints are less critical |
| MMSZ5242B | ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, 30 Ω rdif at 20 mA | Higher power rating but larger size (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm); optimized for higher-current regulation | Chosen when >365 mW dissipation is required, e.g., in industrial power supply feedback networks |
Compared with BZX84-C12 and MMSZ5242B, PZU884LS-C12-Q offers superior board-area efficiency and automotive qualification, while trading off absolute dynamic impedance performance for ultra-miniaturization and manufacturability in high-volume SMT lines.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for PZU884LS-C12-Q?
The device is rated for a maximum forward current of 200 mA per Absolute Maximum Ratings (Table 5). However, it is intended for reverse-bias Zener operation; forward conduction should be avoided in normal regulation use to prevent degradation of breakdown characteristics and thermal overstress.
Does PZU884LS-C12-Q require a heatsink in standard FR4 PCB mounting?
No heatsink is required. With a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 340 K/W on a single-sided 70 μm copper FR4 board, the device remains within its 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit at ≤365 mW dissipation - well within its rated Ptot under typical automotive ambient conditions.
How does the "C" suffix in PZU884LS-C12-Q affect its electrical behavior?
The "C" denotes the ±5 % tolerance series, distinguishing it from the tighter ±2 % "B" series. Per Table 8, C-series devices exhibit intentionally higher leakage current at low reverse voltages to improve switching speed and reduce noise - a trade-off optimized for general-purpose regulation rather than ultra-low-power standby.
Can PZU884LS-C12-Q be used in place of PZU884LS-B12-Q in an existing design?
Yes, but with functional trade-offs: the "C" variant has higher leakage (<0.1 μA vs. <0.05 μA at 10 V), slightly higher differential resistance (80 Ω vs. 60 Ω), and softer temperature coefficient (6.0 mV/K vs. 4.5 mV/K). It remains compatible in pinout and package, but may impact low-power accuracy or thermal stability in precision applications.
