Product details
Overview
1N4584A/TR 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 ±5% nominal voltage tolerance. It delivers ultra-stable voltage reference performance across -55°C to +100°C operating range and is used in precision instrumentation calibration circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4584A/TR datasheet, 1N4584A/TR pinout, 1N4584A/TR application, or 1N4584A/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its low TC (0.0005 %/°C), tight thermal stability at 4 mA bias, hermetic DO-7 packaging, military-grade qualification path (JANTXV), and TR tape-and-reel availability for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Microsemi's JEDEC-registered 1N4565–1N4584A family of zero-temperature-coefficient Zener references. Its 6.4 V nominal breakdown voltage is achieved via dual-Zener or Zener–forward diode compensation architecture, enabling minimal drift over temperature.
The 1N4584A/TR operates at 4.0 mA Zener test current (IZT), delivering 25 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and <2.0 µA reverse leakage at 3 V. It supports full military qualification (MIL-PRF-19500/452) with JANTXV prefix and -1 suffix, and meets MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.4 V ±5% at IZT = 4.0 mA - defines primary reference accuracy under standard bias |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | 0.0005 %/°C - enables <0.03 mV/°C drift, critical for high-stability analog systems |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 4.0 mA - optimal bias point for achieving specified TC and impedance performance |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 25 Ω @ IZT - ensures low AC error contribution in feedback or regulation loops |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤2.0 µA @ 3 V - guarantees minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Operating Temp Range | -55°C to +100°C - validated stability range for industrial and aerospace environments |
| Package | DO-7 (DO-204AA) - hermetically sealed glass axial package with tin-lead leads |
Pinout & Package
DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; polarity requires banded end to be positive relative to anode during operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connects to circuit common; reverse-biased configuration places cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode (banded end) | Reference output node | Provides stable 6.4 V relative to anode; must be biased at +4.0 mA for spec compliance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low temperature coefficient | 0.0005 %/°C minimizes voltage drift across wide ambient ranges without external compensation |
| Hermetic glass DO-7 construction | Enables long-term reliability and moisture resistance in harsh environments (-65°C to +175°C storage) |
| MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification path | Supports JANTXV prefix + "-1" suffix for flight-critical and defense applications |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Complies with MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for handling precautions in production |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR) | EIA-296 compliant - enables direct use in high-volume SMT placement equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM399H | 6.95 V buried-Zener IC with on-chip heater; 0.3 ppm/°C TC; requires 10 mA supply and thermal stabilization time | Higher accuracy but larger footprint, higher power, and slower warm-up; not drop-in replaceable | Choose LM399H only when sub-ppm stability and long-term drift <2 ppm/year are required |
| BZX85C6V2 | 6.2 V Zener; 5% tolerance; 0.08 %/°C TC; DO-41 package; no military qualification path | Limited to commercial-grade instrumentation; unsuitable for aerospace or calibrated test gear | Select BZX85C6V2 only for cost-sensitive, non-critical biasing where ±100 mV reference error is acceptable |
Compared with LM399H and BZX85C6V2, the 1N4584A/TR uniquely balances ultra-low TC (0.0005 %/°C), DO-7 hermetic reliability, military qualification readiness, and simple 4 mA bias-making it optimal for ruggedized precision analog systems where heater-based solutions are impractical.

FAQ
What is the Zener test current for 1N4584A/TR and why is it important?
The 1N4584A/TR has a Zener test current (IZT) of 4.0 mA. This current is the precise bias condition under which all key specifications-including voltage, temperature coefficient, and dynamic impedance-are guaranteed. Operating the 1N4584A/TR at 4.0 mA ensures optimal TC performance (0.0005 %/°C) and low 25 Ω impedance. Deviating significantly from this current degrades stability and increases drift, so bias networks must be designed to deliver stable 4.0 mA across temperature and line variations.
Does 1N4584A/TR support military qualification, and how is it ordered?
Yes, the 1N4584A/TR can be qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/452 as a JANTXV device. To order the qualified version, add the JANTXV prefix and "-1" suffix to form JANTXV1N4584A-1. This variant undergoes additional screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing per MIL standards. The base 1N4584A/TR is commercial-grade but shares identical DO-7 packaging, electrical specs, and thermal performance-making it ideal for prototyping before transitioning to qualified versions.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in 1N4584A/TR?
The "TR" suffix in 1N4584A/TR indicates EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Each reel contains 1,000 units in embossed carrier tape with cover tape, enabling high-throughput SMT line integration. The TR format preserves the DO-7 axial lead geometry while providing consistent orientation and mechanical protection. No rework or repackaging is needed-1N4584A/TR ships ready for direct machine feeding, reducing labor and handling risk in volume production.
How does the 0.0005 %/°C temperature coefficient translate to real-world voltage drift?
A 0.0005 %/°C TC means the 1N4584A/TR drifts just 0.032 mV/°C around its 6.4 V nominal value. Over a -55°C to +100°C operating range (155°C span), total drift is ≤ ±5.0 mV-less than 0.08% of full scale. This level of stability eliminates need for external trimming or software compensation in most precision applications. Measured data confirms <±2.5 mV drift across that range at 4.0 mA bias, validating its use in Class A calibration equipment and metrology-grade instruments.
Can 1N4584A/TR replace older 1N4584 without changes to the PCB layout?
Yes, 1N4584A/TR is a direct replacement for 1N4584 in DO-7 package with identical pinout, dimensions, and electrical characteristics-except for tighter TC (0.0005 %/°C vs. 0.01 %/°C for 1N4584) and lower ZZT (25 Ω vs. 50 Ω). Both share same 6.4 V nominal voltage, 4.0 mA IZT, and hermetic glass construction. No PCB modifications are required; the "A" suffix denotes improved temperature stability, and "TR" only affects packaging-not device function-so existing footprints and schematics remain fully compatible with 1N4584A/TR.
