Product details
Overview
PZU884LS-C16-Q from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal 16 V breakdown voltage, ultra-small DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) package, side-wettable flanks, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It delivers 12 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, 10.4 mV/K temperature coefficient, and 97 pF capacitance at 1 MHz - enabling precision low-power voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the PZU884LS-C16-Q datasheet, PZU884LS-C16-Q pinout, PZU884LS-C16-Q application, or PZU884LS-C16-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16 V nominal Zener voltage, 12 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, AEC-Q101 qualification, side-wettable flank solderability, and 365 mW power dissipation on FR4 PCB.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation across load and line variations. Its design targets low-current operation (IZ = 0.5–5 mA), with intentional leakage current optimization for fast switching and noise reduction per AN90031.
The device features hard breakdown knee behavior in the C-series variant, low forward voltage (VF ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA), and thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W on standard FR4 - supporting reliable operation up to Tj = 150 °C in automotive ambient conditions (−40 °C to +125 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 15.37 V to 17.09 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 16 V nominal rail protection |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 80 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures tight regulation under small-signal load transients |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +10.4 mV/K - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-varying environments |
| Diode Capacitance Cd | 97 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - minimizes high-frequency signal coupling in sensitive analog nodes |
| Reverse Current IR | 0.05 μA max at VR = 12.8 V - guarantees ultra-low standby power loss in always-on circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 365 mW on FR4 PCB (70 μm Cu) - supports continuous regulation without heatsinking in compact layouts |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power PZSM | 40 W at tp = 100 μs - provides robust transient surge suppression against ESD and load dump |
Pinout & Package
DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) is a 2-terminal, leadless surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.47 mm with 0.65 mm pitch and side-wettable flanks for automated optical solder-joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (marked side) | 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 reference; forms current path during Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables automated AOI of solder joints on both package edges - critical for zero-defect automotive manufacturing |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling - suitable for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules |
| Optimized leakage profile | Controlled minor rise in IR improves switching speed and reduces broadband noise - beneficial in feedback loops and sensor biasing |
| Hard breakdown knee | Sharp transition into conduction at VZ ensures accurate clamping without soft saturation - essential for overvoltage detection accuracy |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Infotainment Power Rail Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C16-Q | Same 16 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, but SOT23 package (3.0 mm × 1.4 mm); higher Rth(j-a) = 450 K/W; no side-wettable flanks | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to consumer/industrial use; requires larger PCB area | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and board space constraints |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | SOD-123 package; ±5 % tolerance; 16 V nominal; 100 Ω rdif; not AEC-Q101 qualified; 500 mW Ptot | Higher power rating but larger footprint and no automotive qualification; higher leakage at low VR | Prefer for non-automotive industrial designs requiring marginally higher surge handling without reflow inspection needs |
Compared with BZX84-C16-Q and MMSZ5245B-TP, PZU884LS-C16-Q offers superior board-level reliability via side-wettable flanks and AEC-Q101 validation, while its 12 Ω rdif and 97 pF Cd deliver tighter regulation and lower noise in space-constrained automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle at 16 V?
The PZU884LS-C16-Q is rated for continuous operation up to 200 mA forward current, but as a Zener regulator it operates in reverse breakdown. At its nominal 16 V working point, the maximum recommended DC reverse current is 5 mA for stable regulation - exceeding this increases power dissipation beyond 365 mW unless thermally managed. The 200 mA absolute maximum applies only to short-duration pulses.
Does the side-wettable flank design require special stencil or reflow profile?
No special stencil is required: standard DFN1006BD-2 footprint (1.4 mm × 0.8 mm solder pads, 0.3 mm paste thickness) per Figure 10 supports side-wettable flank formation. Reflow follows IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 profile; the flank geometry enables automatic optical inspection without altering thermal parameters.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
With +10.4 mV/K coefficient, the Zener voltage shifts approximately +1.73 V across the full automotive junction temperature range (ΔT = 165 K). For applications requiring tighter stability, this drift must be compensated in system-level calibration or paired with negative-TC components - the value is intentionally optimized for matched TC in common sensor bias networks.
Can this part replace older PZUxxL series Zeners in existing designs?
Yes - PZU884LS-C16-Q shares identical electrical characteristics and AEC-Q101 qualification with legacy PZU16L-Q, but adds side-wettable flanks and improved rdif (80 Ω vs. 100 Ω). Footprint compatibility is maintained (SOD882BD), and marking "MQ" allows direct substitution without layout change or requalification in most automotive applications.
