Product details
Overview
1N4565AE3 from Microsemi is a 6.4 V temperature-compensated Zener reference diode in DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass axial-leaded package, rated for 0.5 mA test current, ±0.01%/°C temperature coefficient, and 200 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT. It operates from –65°C to +175°C and delivers stable voltage reference performance in precision analog instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4565AE3 datasheet, 1N4565AE3 pinout, 1N4565AE3 application, or 1N4565AE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low TC (0.01%/°C), tight 6.4 V nominal tolerance, hermetic DO-7 packaging, military-grade qualification path (JAN/JANTX), and suitability for high-reliability voltage reference circuits requiring minimal drift over temperature.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Microsemi's JEDEC-registered 1N4565–1N4584A-1 series of zero-TC Zener reference diodes. Its internal metallurgical bonding ensures long-term stability, and it is specified for operation at 0.5 mA test current with 6.4 V nominal output across –65°C to +175°C ambient range.
The 1N4565AE3 achieves ±0.01%/°C temperature coefficient via dual-Zener compensation architecture, delivering 0.64 mV/°C absolute TC. It maintains ≤2 µA reverse leakage at 3 V and supports up to 70 mA maximum Zener current, though optimal stability occurs below 30 mW dissipation.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 6.4 V ±5% - stable reference point for analog calibration and feedback loops |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 0.5 mA - operating point where voltage and TC are specified; sets biasing requirement |
| Temperature Coefficient | ±0.01%/°C - enables <0.7 mV/°C drift over 0 to +75°C operating range |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω @ IZT - limits load regulation error in precision reference applications |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 2.0 µA @ 3 V - ensures low leakage impact on high-impedance reference nodes |
| Operating Temperature Range | –65°C to +175°C - supports aerospace, downhole, and military systems without derating |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TL = 25°C - allows use in thermally constrained PCB layouts with adequate heatsinking |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4565A | Same electrical specs but non-E3 (non-RoHS-compliant) lead finish; lacks Pb-free plating | No difference in reference function; unsuitable for RoHS-compliant production | Select 1N4565AE3 for new designs requiring lead-free compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU |
| 1N4566AE3 | Lower TC: ±0.005%/°C (0.32 mV/°C); identical 6.4 V nominal and DO-7 package | Better thermal stability in wide-temperature-range instrumentation; higher cost | Choose 1N4566AE3 when <0.35 mV/°C drift is required over –55°C to +100°C |
Compared with 1N4565A and 1N4566AE3, the 1N4565AE3 offers RoHS-compliant termination while maintaining the baseline 0.01%/°C TC and 6.4 V reference point-making it ideal for commercial/mixed-use systems where regulatory compliance and moderate stability are balanced.

FAQ
What is the Zener test current for 1N4565AE3?
The 1N4565AE3 is specified at a Zener test current (IZT) of 0.5 mA. This current level defines the conditions under which its 6.4 V nominal voltage and ±0.01%/°C temperature coefficient are guaranteed. Operating significantly above or below this current may increase dynamic impedance and degrade TC performance, so biasing networks should target 0.5 mA for optimal stability.
Is 1N4565AE3 RoHS-compliant?
Yes, the "E3" suffix on 1N4565AE3 indicates lead-free, RoHS-compliant tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. This distinguishes it from the legacy 1N4565A variant, which uses traditional tin-lead finish. The E3 version meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and is approved for use in environmentally regulated commercial and industrial applications.
What is the maximum operating temperature of 1N4565AE3?
The 1N4565AE3 has a specified operating temperature range of –65°C to +175°C. This extended range is enabled by its hermetically sealed DO-7 glass package and internal metallurgical bonding. It remains fully functional at +175°C ambient without derating, making it suitable for engine control units, downhole tools, and other high-temperature environments where plastic-packaged references fail.
Does 1N4565AE3 require external ESD protection?
No, the 1N4565AE3 is nonsensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. Its construction and packaging eliminate the need for external transient suppression or handling precautions beyond standard static-safe practices. This simplifies board layout and reduces BOM count in sensitive analog reference paths.
How does the temperature coefficient of 1N4565AE3 compare to standard Zeners?
The 1N4565AE3 achieves ±0.01%/°C TC-over 10× tighter than typical 5.6 V–6.8 V Zeners (which often exhibit ±0.05%/°C to ±0.1%/°C). This is accomplished via dual-junction temperature compensation, reducing voltage drift to <0.7 mV/°C over 0–75°C. Standard Zeners lack this architecture and show nonlinear TC curves that worsen at temperature extremes.
