Product details
Overview
PZU884LS-C15-Q from Nexperia is a 15 V ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) leadless SMD package with side-wettable flanks, designed for precision voltage reference and clamping in automotive power rails and sensor signal conditioning circuits. It delivers 15 V nominal regulation at IZ = 5 mA, exhibits 99 Ω typical differential resistance, supports 200 mA forward current, and is qualified to AEC-Q101.
For engineers reviewing the PZU884LS-C15-Q datasheet, PZU884LS-C15-Q pinout, PZU884LS-C15-Q application, or PZU884LS-C15-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include its 15 V breakdown voltage tolerance, low leakage (<0.05 μA at VR = 12 V), side-wettable flank solderability, and automotive-grade reliability under −55 °C to +150 °C ambient conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain stable 15 V reference voltage across load variations and temperature shifts. Its hard breakdown knee and low dynamic impedance (99 Ω typ. at 5 mA) ensure tight regulation during transient load steps in low-power analog subsystems.
The device uses intentional minor leakage optimization per AN90031 for fast switching response and reduced noise-distinct from the low-leakage B-series variants-making it suitable for EMI-sensitive automotive signal paths where rapid voltage stabilization is required without excessive thermal drift.
Key Specifications
