Product details
Overview
1N4584 from Microsemi is a 6.4 V temperature-compensated Zener reference diode in DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass axial-leaded package, rated for 4.0 mA test current, 0.0005 %/°C temperature coefficient, 25 Ω dynamic impedance, and operation from –65 °C to +175 °C. It delivers ultra-stable voltage reference performance in precision instrumentation and military-grade analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4584 datasheet, 1N4584 pinout, 1N4584 application, or 1N4584 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6.4 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance, ultra-low TC of 0.0005 %/°C, 4.0 mA operating current requirement, DO-7 hermetic glass package, and MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification readiness via prefix/suffix options.
Technical Context
The 1N4584 implements a dual-junction temperature-compensated Zener structure to achieve near-zero voltage drift over temperature. Its 0.0005 %/°C TC is realized at 4.0 mA test current within the –55 °C to +100 °C range, with dynamic impedance stabilized at 25 Ω under those conditions.
This device operates as a two-terminal passive reference element with cathode-band polarity marking, requiring forward-biased connection (banded end positive) for reverse breakdown conduction. It is internally metallurgically bonded and rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature, though optimal stability is achieved below 30 mW.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.4 V ±5% nominal - defines stable reference point for analog calibration and feedback loops |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 4.0 mA - required bias current to achieve specified VZ and minimum TC |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | 0.0005 %/°C - enables <0.03 mV/°C drift over –55 °C to +100 °C operating range |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 25 Ω @ IZT - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current transients |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 2.0 µA @ 3 V - confirms low leakage for high-impedance reference node integrity |
| Operating Temperature Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports deployment in aerospace, downhole, and extended-temperature industrial systems |
| Package | DO-7 (DO-204AA) - hermetically sealed glass axial-leaded package with tin-lead solderable leads |
Pinout & Package
DO-7 (DO-204AA) hermetically sealed glass package with axial leads; cathode identified by band. Leads are tin-lead plated per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground return | Connected to circuit common; reverse-biased operation requires this terminal negative relative to cathode |
| Cathode | Reference voltage output | Banded end; supplies stable 6.4 V when reverse-biased at 4.0 mA; must be held positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low temperature coefficient | 0.0005 %/°C enables sub-0.1 mV total drift across –55 °C to +100 °C for metrology-grade stability |
| Hermetic DO-7 glass package | Ensures long-term parameter stability and moisture resistance in harsh environments |
| MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification path | Supports JANTX/JANTXV versions with "-1" suffix for defense and space applications |
| Internal metallurgical bonding | Improves thermal coupling between junctions to maintain TC accuracy under thermal cycling |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for handling precautions during assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4574A | Same 6.4 V nominal and 0.0005 %/°C TC, but rated for 1.0 mA IZT and 100 Ω ZZT | Lower power operation; higher dynamic impedance limits use in fast transient environments | Select when lower bias current and relaxed impedance specs suffice |
| 1N4579A | Same 6.4 V nominal and 0.0005 %/°C TC, rated for 2.0 mA IZT and 50 Ω ZZT | Intermediate power/impedance trade-off; not rated for full –65 °C to +175 °C range | Choose where 2.0 mA bias is preferred and extended temperature is not required |
Compared with 1N4574A and 1N4579A, the 1N4584 offers the lowest dynamic impedance (25 Ω) at its 4.0 mA operating point and the widest temperature range (–65 °C to +175 °C), making it optimal for high-reliability, high-transient-stability applications demanding maximum thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N4584?
The 1N4584 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.4 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. Tighter tolerances (e.g., ±1%, ±2%) are available by adding suffixes like "-1%" or "-2%" to the part number per Microsemi's ordering convention. This 6.4 V reference is optimized for temperature compensation and low-drift performance in the 1N4584 device.
What test current is required to achieve the specified 0.0005 %/°C temperature coefficient for the 1N4584?
The 1N4584 achieves its specified 0.0005 %/°C temperature coefficient only when operated at its rated Zener test current of 4.0 mA. Deviating from this current increases TC deviation; voltage measurements must be taken 15 seconds after applying the 4.0 mA DC current to ensure thermal stabilization in the 1N4584.
Is the 1N4584 available in military-grade qualified versions?
Yes - the 1N4584 can be ordered in military-qualified versions by adding appropriate prefixes and suffixes: JAN, JANTX, or JANTXV prefixes plus the "-1" suffix (e.g., JANTX1N4584A-1) to meet MIL-PRF-19500/452 requirements. These variants retain the same electrical specs and DO-7 package as the commercial 1N4584.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for the 1N4584, and how does it relate to stable operation?
The 1N4584 is rated for 500 mW DC power dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature (TL). However, for optimal voltage-temperature stability, Microsemi specifies operation below 30 mW - meaning the 4.0 mA test current must be supplied at ≤7.5 V across the 1N4584 to stay within this low-power stability zone.
Does the 1N4584 have ESD sensitivity, and what standard applies?
No - the 1N4584 is nonsensitive to electrostatic discharge and is qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. This eliminates special ESD handling requirements during PCB assembly and makes the 1N4584 suitable for high-mix manufacturing environments without added protection protocols.
