Product details
Overview
CDLL4616 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, glass-encapsulated 2.2 V Zener diode in DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) package, rated for 250 µA test current, 1300 Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT, 4.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at 1 V, and 100 mW DC power dissipation at TEC = +125°C. It operates across –65°C to +175°C and is used for precision voltage reference and low-current biasing in aerospace sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL4616 datasheet, CDLL4616 pinout, CDLL4616 application, or CDLL4616 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (L = 0 inch), axial CTE match requirement (+6 ppm/°C), hermetic MELF construction, and 250 µA low-current operation capability.
Technical Context
The CDLL4616 functions as a low-power, high-stability voltage reference diode with metallurgically bonded junctions and glass-sealed DO-213AA packaging. Its 2.2 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 250 µA test current, with 1300 Ω dynamic impedance measured using 10% AC superimposition on IZT.
Designed for extreme-temperature environments, it supports end-cap temperature operation from –65°C to +175°C and requires mounting surface CTE matching (~+6 ppm/°C) to minimize thermomechanical stress. Power derating begins at +125°C at 10 mW/°C, limiting max dissipation to 500 mW at TEC = +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 2.2 V ±5% at IZT = 250 µA - defines stable reference point for low-current bias networks |
| Zener Impedance | 1300 Ω max at IZT = 250 µA - indicates voltage regulation stiffness under small-signal variation |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 4.0 µA max at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TEC = +125°C - sets absolute thermal limit before derating applies |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +175°C - enables deployment in military, downhole, and avionics systems without derating |
| Thermal Resistance | 100 °C/W max (L = 0 inch) - determines junction-to-end-cap temperature rise under steady-state bias |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AA (MELF/LL34), hermetically sealed glass case with tin/lead lead finish. Axial device with cathode band marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased zener configuration |
| Cathode (banded end) | Current exit terminal; zener breakdown occurs here | Must be held at higher potential than anode to maintain regulated reverse bias |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4616UR-1 | Same 2.2 V nominal zener voltage, but qualified to JAN/JANTXV levels per MIL-PRF-19500/435; identical DO-213AA package and electrical specs | Required for defense procurement with full military screening and traceability | Select when compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/435 Class V screening is mandatory |
| BZX84-C2V2 | SOT-23 package, ±5% tolerance, 150 Ω zener impedance at 5 mA - significantly lower impedance but higher test current and plastic encapsulation | Suitable for commercial-grade portable electronics where size and cost outweigh hermeticity needs | Choose only if board space is constrained and extended temperature operation is not required |
Compared with CDLL4616, 1N4616UR-1 offers identical performance with military qualification, while BZX84-C2V2 trades hermetic reliability and extreme-temperature capability for smaller footprint and lower impedance at higher current - making CDLL4616 the sole choice for high-reliability, high-temperature analog references.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for CDLL4616?
The CDLL4616 has a nominal zener voltage of 2.2 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as defined in Note 1 of the manufacturer's specification sheet. This tolerance applies at 25°C ambient with the device junction in thermal equilibrium. The "C" and "D" suffix variants offer tighter tolerances (+2% and +1%, respectively), but CDLL4616 itself is the base ±5% version.
Can CDLL4616 be used at +175°C junction temperature?
No - CDLL4616 is rated for end-cap temperature (TEC) up to +175°C, not junction temperature. Its maximum operating temperature specification refers to the end-cap measurement point. Junction temperature must remain below absolute maximum ratings, and thermal design must account for 100 °C/W thermal resistance and actual power dissipation to avoid exceeding safe limits.
Is CDLL4616 RoHS compliant?
CDLL4616 uses tin/lead lead finish and is not RoHS compliant. Its lead finish is specified explicitly in the design data as "Tin / Lead", and the device falls under legacy high-reliability product lines exempt from RoHS under applicable exemptions for aerospace and defense applications requiring Pb-based solder compatibility and proven long-term reliability.
What does the "CDLL" prefix indicate in CDLL4616?
The "CDLL" prefix identifies Microsemi's commercial-grade, hermetically sealed MELF Zener diode family meeting MIL-PRF-19500/435 requirements. It distinguishes these devices from the "1N46xxUR-1" military-qualified versions, sharing identical electrical specs and DO-213AA packaging but differing in screening level and documentation traceability.
How is zener impedance measured for CDLL4616?
Zener impedance for CDLL4616 is measured per Note 2: a 60 Hz RMS AC current equal to 10% of the DC test current (25 µA) is superimposed on IZT = 250 µA, and the resulting AC voltage change divided by the AC current yields 1300 Ω maximum. This method reflects small-signal dynamic impedance relevant to noise-sensitive reference applications.
