Product details
Overview
1N4573UR-1 from Microsemi is a temperature-compensated Zener reference diode in hermetically sealed DO-213AA (MELF) glass package, rated for 1.0 mA test current, ±0.001 %/°C temperature coefficient, 5 mV max voltage stability over −55°C to +100°C, and 100 Ω dynamic impedance; used in precision voltage references for aerospace instrumentation and satellite power regulation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4573UR-1 datasheet, 1N4573UR-1 pinout, 1N4573UR-1 application, or 1N4573UR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include low TC (±0.001 %/°C), tight voltage stability (≤5 mV), MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification, and operation in 1.0 mA low-current mode for ultra-stable biasing in radiation-hardened analog circuits.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the CDLL4565–CDLL4584A family of metallurgically bonded, double-plug Zener diodes engineered for ultra-low temperature drift. Its compensation architecture achieves ±0.001 %/°C TC by balancing opposing TC elements across the junction stack.
It operates exclusively in reverse-biased Zener breakdown mode with cathode-band polarity marking, requires no external biasing circuitry, and maintains specified voltage stability only within the −55°C to +100°C operating range per Note 1 in JEDEC Std 5.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDLL4573A | Same electrical specs (1.0 mA, ±0.001 %/°C, 5 mV, 100 Ω), identical DO-213AA package, but commercial-grade (non-MIL) marking | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500 screening; unsuitable for flight hardware requiring JANTXV/JANS certification | Select when cost-sensitive ground-test equipment or non-flight prototypes require same performance without qualification overhead |
| 1N4573AUR-1 | Identical part number prefix/suffix except "A" suffix; per Microsemi documentation, denotes same device with alternate packaging or screening option | No functional difference; "A" variant may reflect minor process revision or test binning - not a performance upgrade | Verify lot-specific qualification status before substitution; both meet identical spec sheet parameters and mechanical dimensions |
Compared with CDLL4573A and 1N4573AUR-1, the 1N4573UR-1 delivers identical Zener performance but carries full MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification - critical for systems requiring documented radiation tolerance, extended temperature validation, and lot traceability in defense and space programs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage of the 1N4573UR-1?
The exact Zener voltage value is not explicitly stated for 1N4573UR-1 in the provided data. However, it corresponds to the CDLL4573A entry in the table, which shares identical test current (1.0 mA), temperature coefficient (±0.001 %/°C), voltage stability (5 mV), and impedance (100 Ω). The 1N4573UR-1 is functionally aligned with that specification group, though discrete voltage value requires verification against Microsemi's official 1N4573UR-1 datasheet or qualified lot documentation.
Is the 1N4573UR-1 suitable for surface-mount assembly?
Yes, the 1N4573UR-1 uses the DO-213AA (MELF) package, a leadless cylindrical surface-mount format. Its glass body and metallized ends are compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles, and its axial coefficient of expansion (+6 ppm/°C) is intended to match common PCB substrate materials - enabling reliable attachment without cracking under thermal cycling.
Does the 1N4573UR-1 have MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification?
Yes, the 1N4573UR-1 is explicitly listed among parts "AVAILABLE IN JAN, JANTX, JANTXV AND JANS PER MIL-PRF-19500/452". This means it undergoes rigorous screening including temperature cycling, burn-in, and parameter verification per military specification - confirming suitability for high-reliability aerospace and defense applications.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 1N4573UR-1?
The 1N4573UR-1 has a specified operating temperature range of −55°C to +100°C per Note 1 in the provided data. While its absolute maximum ratings allow operation up to +175°C, voltage stability (≤5 mV) and temperature coefficient (±0.001 %/°C) are guaranteed only within the −55°C to +100°C range defined in JEDEC Standard No. 5.
How does the 1N4573UR-1 differ from standard Zener diodes?
The 1N4573UR-1 differs through metallurgical double-plug construction and precision temperature compensation, achieving ±0.001 %/°C TC - over 10× tighter than typical Zeners. It also features hermetic DO-213AA packaging, MIL-PRF-19500 qualification, and guaranteed 5 mV stability across −55°C to +100°C, making it suitable for applications where standard Zeners would introduce unacceptable drift or reliability risk.
