Product details
Overview
CDLL5314E3 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, surface-mount current regulator diode in DO-213AB (MELF/LL41) package, delivering 4.7 mA nominal pinch-off current at 25 V, with 0.235 Ω dynamic impedance and ±10% current tolerance, used for precision biasing and current stabilization in high-reliability analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL5314E3 datasheet, CDLL5314E3 pinout, CDLL5314E3 application, or CDLL5314E3 equivalent, this part serves as a stable two-terminal active current source requiring no external components, suitable for aerospace, military, and industrial power supply reference stages where temperature stability and long-term drift are critical.
Technical Context
The CDLL5314E3 operates as a junction-field-effect transistor (JFET)-based constant-current diode, leveraging depletion-mode channel conduction to maintain regulated current over wide voltage ranges (up to 100 V peak). Its regulation relies on intrinsic device physics rather than feedback loops or external circuitry.
It exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of –0.3 %/°C across –65°C to +175°C operating range and maintains regulation down to 2.9 V limiting voltage, enabling use in low-headroom bias networks while sustaining 500 mW power dissipation at +75°C case temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Regulator Current | 4.7 mA at VS = 25 V - sets precise bias point for amplifier stages or sensor excitation |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.235 Ω @ VS = 25 V - ensures minimal current variation under supply ripple or load transients |
| Knee Impedance | 0.012 Ω @ VK = 6.0 V - defines low-voltage regulation onset for startup and brownout conditions |
| Limiting Voltage | 2.90 V @ IL = 0.8 × Ip(min) - establishes minimum functional headroom before regulation ceases |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TEC = +75°C - supports operation in compact, unheatsinked layouts without derating |
| Operating Temp Range | –65°C to +175°C - qualified for extreme-environment applications including downhole and avionics |
| Peak Operating Voltage | 100 V - enables use in high-voltage analog front-ends and transient-tolerant references |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF/LL41) hermetically sealed glass package with axial leads; cathode identified by band; lead finish: Sn/Pb; thermal resistance 50 °C/W (max) at L = 0 inch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal (banded end) | Must be held at lower potential; reverse connection disables regulation and risks damage |

|---|---|
| Hermetic glass sealing | Enables operation in vacuum, high-humidity, or corrosive environments without parameter shift |
| Metallurgically bonded construction | Ensures mechanical robustness and long-term reliability under thermal cycling stress |
| Leadless surface-mount form factor | Reduces parasitic inductance and enables automated placement in high-density PCBs |
| Wide temperature coefficient control | –0.3 %/°C typical TC allows predictable current drift in unregulated thermal zones |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current regulator diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5314UR-1 | Same electrical specs and DO-213AB package; differs only in MIL-PRF-19500/463 screening level (JANTXV grade) | Required for space-grade or defense procurement with traceability and lot acceptance testing | Select CDLL5314E3 for commercial-industrial use; choose 1N5314UR-1 when MIL-spec compliance is mandated |
| CDLL5313 | 4.3 mA nominal current, 0.245 Ω dynamic impedance, 2.75 V limiting voltage - adjacent value in same family | Suitable where 4.3 mA bias suffices and tighter voltage headroom is needed | Use CDLL5313 if system design tolerates 0.4 mA lower current and benefits from 0.15 V lower dropout |
Compared with 1N5314UR-1, CDLL5314E3 offers identical regulation performance without MIL qualification overhead; versus CDLL5313, it provides higher current and slightly higher limiting voltage-critical for maintaining regulation margin in aging or high-temperature designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for CDLL5314E3?
The CDLL5314E3 has a peak operating voltage rating of 100 V per its absolute maximum ratings table. It maintains stable 4.7 mA regulation across its specified operating range up to this limit, provided power dissipation remains within 500 mW at +75°C case temperature and appropriate derating is applied above +125°C.
Is CDLL5314E3 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
No - CDLL5314E3 features a tin/lead (Sn/Pb) lead finish and is not rated for lead-free reflow profiles. Its maximum soldering temperature is defined for eutectic Sn63/Pb37 processes. For RoHS-compliant assembly, consult Microchip's obsolescence roadmap or consider screened alternatives like the 1N5314UR-1 with Pb-free options under newer Microchip part numbering.
How does temperature affect the regulation current of CDLL5314E3?
CDLL5314E3 exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of –0.3 %/°C, meaning its nominal 4.7 mA current decreases by approximately 0.014 mA per °C rise. This behavior is documented in Figure 2 of the datasheet and remains linear across –65°C to +175°C, enabling predictable compensation in high-temperature analog designs.
Can CDLL5314E3 be used in parallel for higher current output?
No - CDLL5314E3 should not be paralleled due to inherent unit-to-unit parameter spread in pinch-off current and dynamic impedance. Mismatch causes current hogging and thermal runaway. For higher current needs, select a higher-value variant (e.g., CDLL5313 or CDLL5312) or use an active current mirror topology with discrete transistors.
What is the limiting voltage specification for CDLL5314E3 and why does it matter?
The limiting voltage for CDLL5314E3 is 2.90 V at IL = 0.8 × Ip(min), defining the minimum voltage required across the device to sustain regulation. Below this threshold, the device exits constant-current mode and behaves as a low-resistance path - critical for brownout resilience in low-voltage industrial systems where CDLL5314E3 must remain functional during rail sag.
