Product details
Overview
1N4569/TR 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, ±0.0005 %/°C temperature coefficient, 200 Ω dynamic impedance, and operation from –65 °C to +175 °C. It delivers ultra-stable voltage reference in precision instrumentation requiring minimal drift over temperature.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4569/TR datasheet, 1N4569/TR pinout, 1N4569/TR application, or 1N4569/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.0005 %/°C TC, hermetic DO-7 packaging, MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification path, and tight 6.4 V ±5% nominal tolerance - critical for high-reliability analog reference design.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Microsemi's zero-temperature-coefficient Zener family optimized for ultra-low drift voltage references. Its 6.4 V nominal Zener voltage leverages silicon bandgap and Zener breakdown cancellation to achieve <0.0005 %/°C TC across 0 to +75 °C.
It operates at 0.5 mA Zener test current (IZT), with 200 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) measured at 25 °C using 0.75 mA AC rms superimposed on 7.5 mA DC bias. Reverse leakage is ≤2 µA at 3 V, and maximum power dissipation is 500 mW at 25 °C lead temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 6.4 V ±5% - stable reference point for calibration and feedback loops |
| Temperature Coefficient | ±0.0005 %/°C - enables sub-10 ppm/°C drift in 0 to +75 °C range |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 0.5 mA - specified operating point for guaranteed voltage and TC performance |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω - low AC impedance ensures minimal output perturbation under varying load |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | ≤2 µA @ 3 V - confirms low leakage for high-impedance reference node integrity |
| Operating Temperature Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports aerospace, downhole, and military environments |
| Package | DO-7 (DO-204AA) - hermetically sealed glass axial package with tin-lead leads |
Pinout & Package
DO-7 (DO-204AA) is a hermetically sealed glass axial-leaded package with cathode band marking. Leads are tin-lead plated per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Polarity requires banded (cathode) end to be positive relative to anode for proper Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground return | Connected to circuit common; reverse-biased configuration requires this terminal at lower potential |
| Cathode (banded end) | Stable reference output | Provides regulated 6.4 V when reverse-biased; must be held at higher potential than anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low temperature coefficient | ±0.0005 %/°C enables <0.03 mV/°C drift - essential for metrology-grade references |
| Hermetic DO-7 packaging | Sealed glass construction ensures long-term stability and moisture immunity in harsh environments |
| MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification path | Add JAN/JANTX/JANTXV prefix + "-1" suffix (e.g., JANTX1N4569A-1) for screened military-grade variants |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Complies with MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for handling precautions in assembly |
| Tape-and-reel option | "TR" suffix denotes EIA-296 compliant packaging - supports automated SMT placement of axial devices via carrier tape |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4574A/TR | Same 6.4 V nominal, same 0.0005 %/°C TC, but rated for 1.0 mA IZT instead of 0.5 mA | Higher test current improves noise immunity in noisy power supply environments | Select 1N4574A/TR when circuit bias allows ≥1 mA Zener current and lower noise is prioritized |
| LM399H | Monolithic buried-Zener IC with 6.95 V output, 0.3 ppm/°C TC, internal heater, and 10 mA operating current | Requires external heater control and higher power; not drop-in compatible | Choose LM399H only when sub-ppm/°C stability justifies added complexity and board area |
Compared with 1N4569/TR, 1N4574A/TR offers identical TC and voltage but higher IZT for improved PSRR, while LM399H provides superior TC at the cost of integration complexity and power overhead - making 1N4569/TR optimal for simple, low-power, high-temp axial-ref designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener test current for 1N4569/TR?
The 1N4569/TR is specified at a Zener test current (IZT) of 0.5 mA. This current level is used to guarantee its 6.4 V nominal voltage and ±0.0005 %/°C temperature coefficient. Operating significantly above or below this value may increase dynamic impedance or degrade TC performance, so bias networks should target 0.5 mA ±10% for optimal stability.
Does 1N4569/TR have military qualification?
Yes - the base 1N4569/TR is commercially qualified, but it supports MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification by adding appropriate prefixes and suffixes: e.g., JANTX1N4569A-1. These variants undergo screening for vibration, thermal shock, and lot acceptance testing per military standards, while retaining identical electrical specs and DO-7 packaging.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in 1N4569/TR?
The "TR" suffix in 1N4569/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard. This format enables automated placement of the axial DO-7 device using carrier tape feeders, supporting high-volume manufacturing without manual handling. The "TR" version contains no electrical or reliability differences versus bulk-packaged 1N4569.
Can 1N4569/TR replace 1N4568/TR in an existing design?
No - 1N4569/TR has a temperature coefficient of ±0.0005 %/°C, while 1N4568/TR is rated at ±0.001 %/°C. Though both share 6.4 V nominal voltage and 0.5 mA IZT, the 2× tighter TC of 1N4569/TR reflects different internal compensation and cannot be assumed interchangeable without re-characterizing system-level drift performance across temperature.
Is 1N4569/TR sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD)?
No - 1N4569/TR is nonsensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. Its DO-7 glass package and metallurgical construction eliminate the need for special ESD handling procedures during PCB assembly or handling, simplifying manufacturing for high-reliability lines.
