Product details
Overview
PZU9.1B3,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a precision Zener diode optimized for voltage regulation and reference applications in space-constrained SMD designs. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V at 5 mA with ±2 % tolerance (B3 grade), 60 Ω maximum differential resistance, and 120 nA reverse current at 7.3 V, housed in the ultra-compact SOD323F (SC-90) package.
For engineers reviewing the PZU9.1B3,115 datasheet, PZU9.1B3,115 pinout, PZU9.1B3,115 application, or PZU9.1B3,115 equivalent, this device serves as a stable, low-capacitance (6 pF) voltage reference in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and analog sensor biasing where tight voltage accuracy and thermal stability (5.5 mV/K tempco) are required.
Technical Context
The PZU9.1B3,115 operates as a single-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity defined by a marking bar on the SOD323F package. Its Zener breakdown mechanism provides stable reverse conduction above 9.1 V, with temperature coefficient tightly controlled at 5.5 mV/K (typical) at IZ = 5 mA.
Thermal performance is characterized by Rth(j-a) = 230 K/W when mounted on FR4 PCB with standard footprint, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. Non-repetitive peak reverse current capability is rated at 120 A under 100 μs surge conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.56 V to 9.55 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation threshold for feedback or clamping |
| Tolerance Grade | B3 (±2 %) - enables tighter system-level voltage accuracy vs. B/B1/B2 variants |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤60 Ω - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load current variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤10 nA at VR = 7.3 V - supports ultra-low leakage in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | 5.5 mV/K (typical) at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius in thermal environments |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 6 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - minimizes high-frequency noise coupling in sensitive analog paths |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 310 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 layout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C9V1,115 | Same SOD323F package, ±5 % tolerance (C-grade), 90 Ω rdif, 100 nA IR at 7.3 V | Lower accuracy and higher dynamic impedance reduce regulation precision in feedback loops | Select when ±5 % tolerance suffices and cost is primary constraint; not suitable for <0.5 % system accuracy targets |
| MMSZ5240BT1G | SOD-123 package (larger footprint), ±5 % tolerance, 17 Ω rdif, 100 nA IR at 7.6 V | Higher power rating (500 mW) but incompatible pinout and board area; better for higher-current clamping | Choose only if PCB redesign accommodates larger SOD-123; superior rdif benefits high-current references but sacrifices miniaturization |
Compared with BZX84-C9V1,115 and MMSZ5240BT1G, the PZU9.1B3,115 uniquely combines ±2 % tolerance, 60 Ω rdif, and SOD323F miniaturization-enabling high-accuracy regulation in space-limited layouts where tighter voltage control and thermal stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of PZU9.1B3,115?
The PZU9.1B3,115 has a B3 tolerance grade, meaning its Zener voltage is guaranteed between 8.56 V and 9.55 V at 5 mA test current-corresponding to ±2 % deviation from the nominal 9.1 V value. This tighter tolerance supports higher system-level accuracy than standard ±5 % Zeners like the B-grade PZU9.1B,115.
What is the maximum power dissipation for PZU9.1B3,115 under standard PCB conditions?
The PZU9.1B3,115 has a total power dissipation rating of 310 mW when mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, tin-plated, and standard footprint-per IEC 60134 limiting values. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at 150 °C junction temperature.
How does the temperature coefficient of PZU9.1B3,115 affect its performance in varying thermal environments?
The PZU9.1B3,115 exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +5.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 5.5 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This positive tempco must be accounted for in high-precision reference designs operating across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient ranges.
Can PZU9.1B3,115 be used in high-frequency applications?
Yes-the PZU9.1B3,115 has a diode capacitance of only 6 pF at 1 MHz and VR = 0 V, making it suitable for high-frequency voltage clamping and noise-sensitive reference applications. Its low capacitance minimizes signal distortion and loading effects in RF detector or fast comparator circuits.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for PZU9.1B3,115 at its rated working voltage?
At VR = 7.3 V (approximately 80 % of nominal VZ), the PZU9.1B3,115 guarantees a maximum reverse current of 10 nA. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and battery-powered systems where standby current must remain below 100 nA.
