Product details
Overview
PZU884LS-C3V6-QYL from Nexperia is a Zener voltage regulator diode in the PZU884LS-Q series, designed for precision voltage reference and clamping in space-constrained automotive and industrial circuits. It delivers a nominal 3.6 V Zener voltage with ±5 % tolerance, 90 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, and ultra-low leakage current (≤5 μA at VR = 3.0 V), enabling stable regulation in low-power sensor biasing and ECU power-rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the PZU884LS-C3V6-QYL datasheet, PZU884LS-C3V6-QYL pinout, PZU884LS-C3V6-QYL application, or PZU884LS-C3V6-QYL equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, side-wettable DFN1006BD-2 package for automated optical inspection, hard breakdown knee for sharp regulation, and thermal resistance of 340 K/W on FR4 PCB - all critical for automotive-grade reliability and reflow-solderable design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across varying load currents and temperatures. Its 3.6 V nominal Zener voltage falls within the low-voltage segment optimized for very low dynamic impedance and minimal leakage, per the "C"-suffix variant specification.
The device features a hard breakdown knee and temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, supporting accurate voltage stabilization in ambient ranges from −55 °C to +150 °C. Its 0.65 mm pitch, 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm DFN1006BD-2 package with side-wettable flanks enables reliable solder-joint inspection in high-volume automotive PCB assembly.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V6,115 | Same 3.6 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, but SOT23 package (larger, no side-wettable flanks); higher rdif (120 Ω typ.) | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not recommended for automotive production | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs AOI capability and automotive compliance requirements |
| MMSZ5227B-TP | 3.6 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package; 100 Ω rdif; 10 μA max leakage at 3.0 V | No AEC-Q101 qualification; higher leakage limits use in ultra-low-power battery systems | Prefer only for non-automotive consumer or industrial prototypes where footprint compatibility is secondary |
Compared with BZX84-C3V6,115 and MMSZ5227B-TP, PZU884LS-C3V6-QYL offers superior manufacturability via side-wettable flanks, lower leakage for extended battery life, and formal AEC-Q101 validation - making it the only choice for volume automotive PCBs requiring zero-defect solder joint inspection and long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse power dissipation for PZU884LS-C3V6-QYL?
The maximum continuous total power dissipation (Ptot) is 365 mW when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided 70 μm copper and tin plating. This value assumes ambient temperature of 25 °C and accounts for thermal resistance of 340 K/W from junction to ambient. Derating is required above 25 °C per the thermal characteristics table.
Does PZU884LS-C3V6-QYL support automated optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes - its DFN1006BD-2 package features side-wettable flanks, allowing AOI systems to inspect solder fillet quality on both lateral edges of the terminals. This capability is explicitly enabled by the package geometry defined in the SOD882BD outline and confirmed in Nexperia's reflow footprint documentation.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over automotive temperature ranges?
With a specified temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, the Zener voltage shifts approximately −0.35 V across a 100 K range (−40 °C to +60 °C). At 3.6 V nominal, this yields ~9.7 % drift - mitigated in practice by operating at higher test currents or using compensation networks, as detailed in application note AN90031.
Can PZU884LS-C3V6-QYL be used in bidirectional ESD protection configurations?
No - it is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias regulation. While forward conduction occurs below 0.9 V, its asymmetric structure lacks the balanced clamping symmetry required for IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection. For bidirectional ESD suppression, Nexperia's ESD5V3U1U or PESD5V0X1BC series are purpose-designed alternatives.
