Product details
Overview
1N4575A/TR from Microsemi is a temperature-compensated 6.4 V Zener reference diode in DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass axial-leaded package, rated for 2.0 mA test current, 0.01 %/°C temperature coefficient, and 50 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 °C, used in precision voltage references for instrumentation and aerospace power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4575A/TR datasheet, 1N4575A/TR pinout, 1N4575A/TR application, or 1N4575A/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% nominal voltage tolerance, hermetic glass packaging, -65 °C to +175 °C operating range, and MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification readiness via prefix/suffix options.
Technical Context
The 1N4575A/TR implements a dual-junction temperature-compensated Zener structure optimized for minimal drift over -55 °C to +100 °C, with voltage regulation stabilized by internal metallurgical bonding and low thermal hysteresis. Its 6.4 V nominal output is maintained under 2.0 mA Zener test current with ≤2 µA reverse leakage at 3 V.
This device operates in reverse-biased mode with cathode band positive relative to anode, requiring no external biasing circuitry. It delivers stable reference performance without trimming, supporting applications where long-term drift <100 ppm/1000 h and low noise are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 6.4 V ±5% - defines primary reference level for analog signal conditioning and ADC/DAC biasing circuits |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 2.0 mA - operating point where voltage and temperature coefficient are specified and optimized |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | 0.01 %/°C - ensures <0.64 mV/°C drift across 0 to +75 °C ambient range |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 50 Ω @ IZT - limits AC ripple coupling into reference node, critical for low-noise LDO feedback paths |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 2.0 µA @ 3 V - confirms low leakage below breakdown, enabling high-impedance sensing interfaces |
| Operating Temperature Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports deployment in downhole, avionics, and military-grade power systems |
| Package | DO-7 (DO-204AA) - hermetically sealed glass axial-leaded case with tin-lead plated leads per MIL-STD-750 |
Pinout & Package
DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; leads are tin-lead plated and solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Polarity requires cathode (banded end) to be biased positive relative to anode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference diode cathode-connected terminal | Connected to system ground or lowest potential node in shunt reference configuration |
| Cathode (banded end) | Reference diode anode-connected terminal | Bias-positive terminal delivering regulated 6.4 V output; connects to load and feedback networks |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 DO-7 package and 6.4 V nominal voltage, but 1.0 mA IZT and 0.0005 %/°C TC (vs. 2.0 mA / 0.01 %/°C for 1N4575A/TR) | Better TC suits ultra-stable lab equipment; lower IZT reduces power dissipation in battery-powered sensors | Select when TC <0.001 %/°C is mandatory and 1.0 mA bias is acceptable |
| 1N4576A/TR | Same 2.0 mA IZT and DO-7 package, but 0.005 %/°C TC and 50 Ω ZZT (vs. 0.01 %/°C for 1N4575A/TR) | Improved TC supports tighter reference stability in extended temperature industrial controllers | Select when enhanced TC is needed without changing layout or bias network |
Compared with 1N4575A/TR, 1N4574A/TR offers superior temperature stability at lower test current, while 1N4576A/TR provides intermediate TC improvement with identical bias requirements-both retain DO-7 footprint and hermetic construction for drop-in evaluation.

FAQ
What is the Zener test current for 1N4575A/TR?
The 1N4575A/TR is specified at a Zener test current (IZT) of 2.0 mA. This current establishes the operating point for measuring its 6.4 V nominal voltage, 0.01 %/°C temperature coefficient, and 50 Ω dynamic impedance. Operating significantly above or below this value increases voltage drift and impedance variation, so bias networks should target 2.0 mA ±10% for optimal 1N4575A/TR performance.
Does 1N4575A/TR have military qualification?
The base 1N4575A/TR is not pre-qualified, but it is designed to meet MIL-PRF-19500/452 requirements when ordered with appropriate prefixes and suffixes-for example, JANTX1N4575A-1. That version undergoes screening including temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric testing per military standards. The "TR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296, independent of qualification level.
What is the maximum operating temperature for 1N4575A/TR?
The 1N4575A/TR has a maximum operating temperature of +175 °C and a minimum of -65 °C. This full -65 °C to +175 °C range is enabled by its hermetically sealed DO-7 glass package and internal metallurgical bonding. Derating applies above 70 °C ambient per Microsemi's thermal resistance data, but the 1N4575A/TR remains functional and within specification across the entire range when properly heatsinked or mounted on thermally stable substrates.
How does the temperature coefficient of 1N4575A/TR compare to other parts in the 1N45xx series?
The 1N4575A/TR has a temperature coefficient of 0.01 %/°C, which is higher than variants like 1N4574A/TR (0.0005 %/°C) but lower than 1N4565A/TR (0.01 %/°C at 0.5 mA). Within the 2.0 mA IZT group (1N4575–1N4579A), 1N4575A/TR represents the baseline TC option-others offer progressively lower coefficients (0.005, 0.002, 0.001, 0.0005 %/°C) at identical test current and package. All share the same 6.4 V nominal voltage and DO-7 form factor.
Is 1N4575A/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
The 1N4575A/TR features tin-lead plated leads per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and is rated for soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds maximum. While it is not RoHS-compliant due to lead content, it is compatible with standard SnPb reflow profiles. For lead-free assembly, Microsemi recommends verifying compatibility with specific Pb-free pastes and profiles; however, the DO-7 glass body may be susceptible to thermal shock beyond 235 °C peak, so process validation is required before deploying 1N4575A/TR in Pb-free lines.
