Product details
Overview
CDLL4101 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, surface-mount silicon Zener diode in DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) package, rated for 8.2 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 µA test current, 200 Ω Zener impedance, 1.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at 6.24 V, and 46 mA maximum Zener current - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in aerospace-grade power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL4101 datasheet, CDLL4101 pinout, CDLL4101 application, or CDLL4101 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% Zener tolerance, -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range, 500 mW power dissipation at 125°C, low-leakage cathode-biased operation, and MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification for high-reliability analog signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The CDLL4101 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with metallurgically bonded construction and hermetic glass sealing. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable regulation under low-current conditions (250 µA), with thermal resistance of 100 °C/W at L = 0 inch and axial coefficient of expansion (~6 ppm/°C) matched to ceramic or Kovar substrates.
It complies with MIL-PRF-19500/435 for JAN/JANTX/JANTXV/JANS screening levels and is specified for use with banded (cathode) end positive polarity. Reverse leakage remains ≤1.0 µA up to 6.24 V, supporting low-power biasing and sensing functions in harsh-environment analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.2 V ±5% at IZT = 250 µA - defines regulated output level for reference circuits |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω max at 250 µA - determines regulation stiffness under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1.0 µA at VR = 6.24 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 46 mA - sets upper limit for continuous power dissipation without derating |
| Junction Temp Range | -65°C to +175°C - enables operation in extended-temperature avionics and downhole electronics |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TEC = +125°C - supports stable thermal performance in conduction-cooled modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4101UR-1 | Same Zener voltage (8.2 V), identical DO-213AA package, but rated for JANTXV screening only - no JANS option available | Qualified for space-level radiation hardness per MIL-PRF-19500/435 Class V only, not Class S (JANS) | Select when JANTXV screening suffices and JANS-level radiation tolerance is not required |
| CDLL4101C | Same package and electrical specs, but ±2% Zener tolerance (C suffix) instead of ±5% (no suffix) | Higher precision reference needed for metrology-grade instrumentation where tighter voltage stability is mandatory | Select when tighter tolerance justifies cost premium and tighter thermal drift budget permits |
Compared with CDLL4101, 1N4101UR-1 offers identical voltage and package but lacks JANS qualification, while CDLL4101C improves tolerance to ±2% at higher cost - choice depends on radiation hardness and precision requirements, not pin compatibility or layout reuse.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for CDLL4101?
The CDLL4101 has a nominal Zener voltage of 8.2 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as defined in Note 1 of the datasheet. This tolerance applies when measured at 25°C ±3°C with the device in thermal equilibrium. The CDLL4101 does not carry a "C" (±2%) or "D" (±1%) suffix, confirming its standard ±5% grade.
Is CDLL4101 suitable for high-temperature downhole applications?
Yes, CDLL4101 is rated for junction temperatures from -65°C to +175°C and features a hermetically sealed DO-213AA glass package, making it suitable for downhole sensor biasing in oil/gas logging tools. Its 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 6.24 V and stable Zener impedance support reliable operation under sustained high-temperature stress.
Does CDLL4101 require heatsinking in typical PCB layouts?
No, CDLL4101 does not require external heatsinking in standard applications. With a thermal resistance of 100 °C/W at L = 0 inch and 500 mW power dissipation capability at 125°C end-cap temperature, it operates within safe limits under typical 46 mA Zener current loads on FR4 or ceramic substrates without forced cooling.
What is the polarity marking convention for CDLL4101?
The CDLL4101 uses cathode-band polarity marking: the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node in Zener regulation mode. The device is intended for reverse-biased operation only, and forward conduction is not part of its functional specification.
Can CDLL4101 replace CDLL4100 or CDLL4102 in an existing design?
CDLL4101 can be substituted for CDLL4100 (7.5 V) or CDLL4102 (8.7 V) only if the circuit's voltage reference or clamping threshold is specifically designed to accommodate an 8.2 V Zener. Electrical differences - including 0.7 V higher than CDLL4100 and 0.5 V lower than CDLL4102 - directly affect regulation accuracy and must be verified in system-level testing before replacement.
