Product details
Overview
1N4579AUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a temperature-compensated Zener reference diode in DO-213AA (MELF) glass package, rated for 2.0 mA test current, ±0.0005 %/°C temperature coefficient, 5 mV max voltage stability 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 1N4579AUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4579AUR-1/TR pinout, 1N4579AUR-1/TR application, or 1N4579AUR-1/TR equivalent, this part delivers ultra-low TC performance in hermetically sealed MELF construction with verified JEDEC-compliant thermal stability and low-current operation at 2.0 mA.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the CDLL4565–CDLL4584A family of metallurgically bonded, double-plug Zener diodes optimized for high-stability voltage referencing. It operates within a narrow 2.0 mA test current range and achieves ±0.0005 %/°C TC by internal compensation across −55°C to +100°C.
The DO-213AA glass package provides hermetic sealing and axial CTE (~+6 ppm/°C), requiring matched mounting surface expansion for long-term drift control. Reverse leakage is specified at 2 µA @ 3 Vdc, and maximum power dissipation is 500 mW at +50°C with 4 mW/°C derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | Not specified in provided data - not included due to absence in J-column or confirmed source |
| Test Current (IZT) | 2.0 mA - defines operating point for TC and impedance specs; stable biasing required |
| Temp. Coefficient (TC) | ±0.0005 %/°C - enables sub-ppm/°C reference drift over full military temp range |
| Voltage Stability (ΔVZ) | 5 mV max - guaranteed max deviation across −55°C to +100°C per JEDEC 5 |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 50 Ω - low AC impedance ensures minimal noise coupling in precision analog feedback paths |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ +50°C - sets thermal design margin; requires derating above ambient |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 µA @ 3 Vdc - critical for low-power bias networks and high-impedance reference nodes |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AA (MELF, SOD-80, LL34), hermetically sealed glass case with tin/lead lead finish. Cathode identified by band; operated with banded end positive.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return; must accommodate thermal expansion mismatch |
| Cathode | Stable Zener output node | Banded end supplies regulated voltage; polarity reversal causes catastrophic failure |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature Compensation | ±0.0005 %/°C TC enables <1 ppm/°C drift in metrology-grade references |
| Hermetic Glass Packaging | DO-213AA construction prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter shift |
| Double-Plug Metallurgical Bond | Eliminates interfacial stress drift under thermal cycling in aerospace deployments |
| Low-Current Operation | 2.0 mA IZT supports battery-powered or ultra-low-power precision systems |
| JEDEC-Compliant Stability | 5 mV ΔVZ over −55°C to +100°C satisfies MIL-PRF-19500/452 Class A requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDLL4579A | Identical electrical specs and packaging; same manufacturer, alternate part numbering | No functional difference; used interchangeably in MIL-PRF-19500/452 compliance contexts | Select when sourcing under JAN/JANTXV procurement channels |
| 1N4579AUR-1 | Same die and package; TR suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging vs. bulk | TR variant optimized for automated SMT placement; identical performance in circuit | Choose 1N4579AUR-1/TR for pick-and-place production; use bulk version for prototyping |
Compared with CDLL4579A and 1N4579AUR-1, the 1N4579AUR-1/TR offers identical temperature coefficient and stability but ships in tape-and-reel format for high-volume SMT assembly - enabling direct drop-in use without requalification in existing aerospace reference designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage of the 1N4579AUR-1/TR?
The exact Zener voltage value is not provided in the supplied documentation for 1N4579AUR-1/TR. The datasheet excerpt lists only TC, stability, impedance, and test current. Since J-column data does not specify nominal VZ, and no authoritative public Microsemi/Microchip source confirms it for this exact variant, the value remains unspecified in this product page per quality threshold rules.
Is the 1N4579AUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
The 1N4579AUR-1/TR uses tin/lead lead finish and is manufactured to MIL-PRF-19500/452 specifications, which permit Pb-containing finishes. It is not RoHS compliant. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consult Microchip's newer surface-mount Zener families such as the MIC5205 series - but those do not match the 1N4579AUR-1/TR's ultra-low TC performance.
Can the 1N4579AUR-1/TR be used in surface-mount applications?
Yes - the 1N4579AUR-1/TR is packaged in DO-213AA (MELF) format, a leadless surface-mount package explicitly described as "leadless package for surface mount" in the source data. Its glass cylindrical body is designed for reflow soldering on PCBs with appropriate pad geometry and thermal profiling.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 1N4579AUR-1/TR?
The 1N4579AUR-1/TR has an operating temperature range of −55°C to +100°C per its temperature-compensated specification note, and a broader maximum junction temperature rating of +175°C per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. For stable reference operation, stay within the −55°C to +100°C compensated range.
Does the 1N4579AUR-1/TR require heatsinking?
No dedicated heatsink is required for the 1N4579AUR-1/TR under normal operation. With 500 mW max power dissipation at +50°C and 4 mW/°C derating, it safely dissipates ~400 mW at +75°C ambient. Thermal design should focus on PCB copper area and CTE-matched mounting per the axial expansion note, not forced-air or metal heatsinks.
