Product details
Overview
1N4570A/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, ±0.01%/°C temperature coefficient, 100 Ω dynamic impedance, and operating across –65°C to +175°C. It delivers stable voltage reference in precision analog instrumentation requiring minimal drift.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4570A/TR datasheet, 1N4570A/TR pinout, 1N4570A/TR application, or 1N4570A/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6.4 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance, low TC of 0.01%/°C, DO-7 hermetic glass packaging, 500 mW power dissipation rating, and military-grade qualification path via JAN/JANTX prefixes.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Microsemi's zero-temperature-coefficient Zener family optimized for high-stability voltage references. Its 6.4 V nominal Zener voltage leverages silicon bandgap and Zener breakdown interaction to achieve low TC, with specified operation at IZT = 0.5 mA and thermal stability validated over –65°C to +175°C.
The 1N4570A/TR uses internal metallurgical bonding within a hermetically sealed glass case, ensuring long-term parameter stability and ESD insensitivity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. Its DO-7 package supports axial-leaded through-hole mounting and complies with JEDEC registration for the 1N4565–1N4584 series.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.4 V ±5% at IZT = 0.5 mA - defines primary reference accuracy under standard test conditions |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | ±0.01%/°C - ensures minimal voltage drift over temperature, critical for precision analog circuits |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 100 Ω at IZT = 0.5 mA - indicates low AC impedance for stable regulation under varying load |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TL = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +175°C - enables use in aerospace, downhole, and military environments |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤2.0 µA @ 3 V - confirms low leakage below breakdown, preserving reference integrity |
Pinout & Package
DO-7 (DO-204AA) hermetically sealed glass axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; leads are tin-lead plated and solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference diode cathode-connected terminal | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node; banded end is cathode, so anode is unmarked lead |
| Cathode | Reference diode anode-connected terminal | Banded end - must be held positive relative to anode to operate in reverse-biased Zener region |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature-compensated Zener structure | Combines avalanche and Zener mechanisms to achieve ±0.01%/°C TC for <1 mV/°C drift in 6.4 V reference |
| Hermetic glass DO-7 package | Provides long-term parameter stability and moisture resistance essential for mission-critical analog references |
| MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification path | Enables military-grade versions (e.g., JANTX1N4570A-1) without redesigning board layout or circuit topology |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Complies with MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for external ESD protection in handling and assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4570 | Same 6.4 V / 0.5 mA / ±0.01%/°C spec, but non-A grade - wider initial VZ tolerance (±10% vs ±5%) | Suitable for less demanding industrial references where cost outweighs precision | Select 1N4570A/TR when ±5% VZ tolerance and guaranteed low TC are required for calibration-grade designs |
| 1N4571A | Identical DO-7 package and ±0.005%/°C TC, but rated for 1.0 mA IZT - higher ZZT (100 Ω) unchanged, different optimal bias point | Better suited for circuits with higher quiescent current availability and tighter TC requirements | Choose 1N4571A only if design can supply 1.0 mA and requires improved TC (0.005%/°C vs 0.01%/°C) |
Compared with 1N4570 and 1N4571A, the 1N4570A/TR offers the optimal balance of tight ±5% VZ tolerance, verified ±0.01%/°C TC, and 0.5 mA low-power operation - making it preferred for battery-powered or thermally constrained precision references where layout and qualification path must remain consistent.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4570A/TR?
The 1N4570A/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.4 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table at IZT = 0.5 mA and 25°C. This tighter tolerance distinguishes the "A" grade from the base 1N4570, which carries ±10% tolerance. The 1N4570A/TR maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range when used within rated power limits.
Does 1N4570A/TR require external current limiting?
Yes, the 1N4570A/TR must be operated with a series current-limiting resistor to maintain IZ near its specified test current of 0.5 mA. Without proper biasing, regulation accuracy degrades due to TC variation and increased ZZT. The 1N4570A/TR datasheet specifies that optimum voltage-temperature stability occurs only when operated at the designated IZT, not at arbitrary currents.
Is 1N4570A/TR suitable for surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4570A/TR is packaged in the axial-leaded DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass case and is intended for through-hole mounting. Microsemi offers surface-mount equivalents such as the JANTX1N4569AUR-1 in DO-213AA, but the 1N4570A/TR itself has no SMT variant. Its TR suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging for automated through-hole insertion, not surface-mount compatibility.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in 1N4570A/TR?
The "TR" suffix in 1N4570A/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place handling during through-hole assembly. It does not alter electrical specifications or package dimensions - the device remains a DO-7 glass axial-leaded diode with identical 6.4 V, 0.5 mA, and ±0.01%/°C characteristics as the bulk version. The TR format supports high-volume manufacturing while preserving full compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification paths.
Can 1N4570A/TR be used in radiation-exposed environments?
The base 1N4570A/TR is not radiation-hardened; however, Microsemi offers RH-qualified variants (e.g., RH4570A) with the "RH" prefix instead of "1N", designed for total ionizing dose (TID) resilience. The 1N4570A/TR itself meets MIL-STD-750 ESD testing but lacks radiation hardness certification. For space or nuclear applications, RH4570A - not 1N4570A/TR - must be selected and verified against mission-specific radiation requirements.
