Product details
Overview
1N5223BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 2.7 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80) MELF package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation, 20 mA test current, and -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. It delivers stable voltage regulation in low-power analog references and biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5223BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5223BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5223BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5223BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±5%), dynamic impedance (30 Ω @ 20 mA), reverse leakage (75 µA @ 0.95 V), temperature coefficient (-0.080 %/°C), and hermetically sealed glass packaging for reliability in harsh environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference by exploiting controlled reverse breakdown in a silicon PN junction. Its metallurgically bonded construction ensures mechanical robustness and thermal stability, with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 250 °C/W on FR4 board.
Regulation occurs at nominal 2.7 V with 20 mA test current (IZT); knee current (IZK) is 0.25 mA. Dynamic impedance is specified at both IZT (30 Ω) and IZK (1300 Ω), enabling accurate modeling across operating ranges from low-current sensing to moderate-power shunt regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.7 V ±5% at 20 mA - defines precise shunt regulation point for low-voltage reference designs |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W maximum - limits continuous shunt current to ~185 mA at 2.7 V without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 30 Ω @ 20 mA - determines output voltage variation under load changes in feedback or bias networks |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 75 µA @ 0.95 V - ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance voltage divider or sensor bias applications |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | -0.080 %/°C - quantifies drift magnitude; enables compensation in precision analog circuits over -65 °C to +175 °C |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood, industrial control, and aerospace environments |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max @ 200 mA - confirms standard silicon diode forward conduction behavior for polarity verification |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetically sealed glass package | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift-critical for mission-critical analog references |
| Metallurgical bond construction | Enhances thermal cycling endurance and mechanical shock resistance vs. epoxy-packaged alternatives |
| Minimal capacitance | Typical <1.5 pF (per Figure 3) - preserves high-frequency signal integrity in RF bias and timing circuits |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently radiation-hard per MicroNote 050 - validated for space-grade and nuclear instrumentation use |
| ESD insensitivity | Non-sensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for external ESD protection in handling and assembly |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5223BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5223BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V with a ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This means the actual measured VZ at 20 mA test current falls between 2.565 V and 2.835 V at 25 °C. The tolerance remains valid across the full -65 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range as defined in the T4-LDS-0232-1 datasheet.
Does 1N5223BUR-1/TR support automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1N5223BUR-1/TR is supplied in EIA-481-B compliant tape-and-reel format (denoted by the "TR" suffix), making it fully compatible with pick-and-place equipment. Its DO-213AA (SOD80) MELF package has standardized dimensions (A = 1.60–1.70 mm, B = 3.30–3.70 mm) and tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin end-cap plating that meets MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 solderability requirements.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N5223BUR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N5223BUR-1/TR is 75 µA at VR = 0.95 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0232-1 datasheet. This value is measured at 25 °C and reflects worst-case leakage under sub-breakdown conditions-critical for high-impedance bias networks where leakage could shift operating points.
Is 1N5223BUR-1/TR suitable for high-temperature environments?
Yes, the 1N5223BUR-1/TR is rated for junction and storage temperatures from -65 °C to +175 °C. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction and hermetic sealing enable reliable operation in under-hood automotive, downhole oil/gas, and industrial motor control applications. Derating begins above 50 °C ambient (or 125 °C end-cap temperature) per the power derating curve in Figure 2.
How does the temperature coefficient affect 1N5223BUR-1/TR performance?
The 1N5223BUR-1/TR has a temperature coefficient (αVZ) of -0.080 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage decreases by approximately 2.16 mV per °C rise from 25 °C. This predictable drift allows designers to compensate in precision references-for example, pairing with a positive-tempco component-or accept ±0.22 V variation over a 100 °C span (e.g., -40 °C to +60 °C ambient).
