Product details
Overview
1N4578AUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a temperature-compensated Zener reference diode in DO-213AA (MELF) glass package, rated for 2.0 mA test current, ±0.001 %/°C temperature coefficient, 10 mV max voltage drift over −55°C to +100°C, and 50 Ω dynamic impedance - used in precision voltage references for aerospace-grade instrumentation and calibration circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4578AUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4578AUR-1/TR pinout, 1N4578AUR-1/TR application, or 1N4578AUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include low TC stability across military temperature range, hermetic MELF packaging for reliability, and tight Zener voltage tolerance under low-current bias conditions typical in battery-powered metrology systems.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the CDLL4565–CDLL4584A family of metallurgically bonded, double-plug Zener diodes optimized for high-stability voltage reference applications. It operates at 2.0 mA test current with guaranteed 10 mV max voltage change over −55°C to +100°C per JEDEC 5, and exhibits 50 Ω dynamic impedance at that bias point.
The 1N4578AUR-1/TR uses a compensated Zener structure achieving ±0.001 %/°C temperature coefficient - among the lowest in its class - enabled by matched junctions and hermetic glass sealing. Its axial coefficient of expansion (+6 ppm/°C) requires matching to substrate materials to minimize thermally induced stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | Specified at 2.0 mA; exact value depends on variant suffix - critical for setting reference accuracy in closed-loop regulators. |
| Temp Coefficient | ±0.001 %/°C - enables sub-mV drift over full military temperature range without external compensation. |
| Voltage Stability | ≤10 mV max change from −55°C to +100°C - meets MIL-PRF-19500/452 Class A requirements for JANTXV screening. |
| Zener Impedance | 50 Ω at 2.0 mA - ensures minimal AC ripple coupling into reference node in low-noise analog designs. |
| Package | DO-213AA (MELF, SOD-80, LL34) - hermetically sealed glass case for long-term parametric stability and moisture resistance. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ +50°C, derated 4 mW/°C above - supports operation in high-ambient industrial enclosures with minimal heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDLL4578A | Same electrical specs and package; identical part number prefix - differs only in tape/reel packaging (TR vs. bulk). | No functional difference; CDLL4578A is the bare die version used in hybrid assemblies, while 1N4578AUR-1/TR is surface-mount MELF. | Select 1N4578AUR-1/TR for automated SMT placement; CDLL4578A for custom hybrid integration. |
| 1N4578AUR-1 | Identical device except lacking TR (tape-and-reel) designation - same DO-213AA package, same JANTXV screening, same electrical parameters. | No application difference; 1N4578AUR-1 is supplied in ammo pack or bulk, not optimized for pick-and-place. | Choose 1N4578AUR-1/TR for high-volume SMT production; 1N4578AUR-1 for prototyping or low-volume hand assembly. |
Compared with CDLL4578A and 1N4578AUR-1, the 1N4578AUR-1/TR delivers identical Zener performance and military screening but adds tape-and-reel packaging for seamless SMT line integration - eliminating manual handling while preserving full parametric compliance.

FAQ
What is the Zener test current for 1N4578AUR-1/TR?
The 1N4578AUR-1/TR is specified at a Zener test current of 2.0 mA. This bias point defines its nominal Zener voltage, temperature coefficient, and dynamic impedance values - all guaranteed per MIL-PRF-19500/452. Operating significantly above or below this current degrades TC performance and increases ZZT.
Does 1N4578AUR-1/TR have military-grade screening?
Yes, the 1N4578AUR-1/TR is available in JANTXV grade per MIL-PRF-19500/452, including extended temperature testing (−65°C to +175°C), burn-in, and parametric verification. This screening ensures suitability for flight-critical and safety-related systems where failure modes must be rigorously excluded.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in 1N4578AUR-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging - standard for automated surface-mount assembly. The 1N4578AUR-1/TR is supplied in EIA-481-compliant carrier tape with 2,000 units per reel, enabling direct use in high-speed pick-and-place machines without repackaging.
Is 1N4578AUR-1/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
No - the 1N4578AUR-1/TR features SnPb (tin/lead) lead finish and is not qualified for Pb-free reflow profiles. Its maximum peak reflow temperature is 235°C for 10 seconds. Lead-free assembly requires alternative parts such as Microchip's newer ceramic-packaged Zeners with matte tin terminations.
How does the DO-213AA package affect thermal design for 1N4578AUR-1/TR?
The DO-213AA (MELF) package has an axial coefficient of expansion of +6 ppm/°C. To prevent mechanical stress-induced parameter shift, mounting surfaces should match this COE - e.g., alumina or specific FR-4 laminates. Thermal vias or copper pour beneath pads are discouraged due to CTE mismatch risk.
