Product details
Overview
CDLL829A/TR from Central Semiconductor (CDI) is a temperature-compensated, hermetically sealed MELF-packaged Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 5.9–6.5 V, 10 Ω zener impedance at 7.5 mA test current, and ultra-low temperature coefficient of ±0.0005 %/°C over –55°C to +100°C. It delivers precision voltage reference in high-reliability analog power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL829A/TR datasheet, CDLL829A/TR pinout, CDLL829A/TR application, or CDLL829A/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10 Ω dynamic impedance, ±0.0005 %/°C tempco, DO-213AA glass MELF package, 500 mW power rating at +50°C, and operation across –65°C to +175°C ambient.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses metallurgically bonded double-plug construction for stable breakdown characteristics and low noise. Its temperature compensation is achieved via matched junction design, enabling minimal voltage drift across industrial and military temperature ranges.
The device operates in reverse-biased mode with cathode band positive, exhibits 2 µA max reverse leakage at 3 V, and maintains specified zener voltage tolerance and impedance under both polarities when used in double-anode configurations (though CDLL829A is single-anode per part numbering and datasheet grouping).

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage range of CDLL829A/TR?
The CDLL829A/TR has a nominal zener voltage range of 5.9 V to 6.5 V at a test current of 7.5 mA. This range reflects the guaranteed minimum and maximum breakdown voltage under standard test conditions and is tighter than many general-purpose Zeners, supporting high-accuracy regulation tasks where CDLL829A/TR serves as the primary reference element.
Is CDLL829A/TR compatible with surface-mount assembly processes?
Yes, CDLL829A/TR uses the DO-213AA (MELF) package, which is a leadless cylindrical surface-mount format standardized as SOD-80 and LL34. Its glass body and tin/lead terminations support reflow soldering per J-STD-020, and the axial coefficient of expansion (+6 ppm/°C) is designed to match common ceramic and metal-core PCB substrates used in high-reliability SMT layouts.
How does the temperature coefficient of CDLL829A/TR compare to standard Zener diodes?
CDLL829A/TR achieves a temperature coefficient of ±0.0005 %/°C - over 10× tighter than typical 5.6 V Zeners (±0.005 %/°C) and 100× better than 3.3 V Zeners. This ultra-low tempco is realized through proprietary double-plug junction compensation and enables CDLL829A/TR to maintain voltage stability within ±0.3 mV across –55°C to +100°C, critical for CDLL829A/TR's use in metrology-grade references.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for CDLL829A/TR?
CDLL829A/TR is rated for 500 mW DC power dissipation at an ambient temperature of +50°C, with linear derating of 4 mW/°C above that point. At +125°C ambient, its usable power drops to 200 mW. This rating applies to free-air conditions and assumes proper PCB thermal relief; the hermetic glass package limits internal thermal resistance, making CDLL829A/TR suitable for compact, convection-cooled designs.
Can CDLL829A/TR be used in place of CDLL829 without modification?
Yes, CDLL829A/TR is a direct replacement for CDLL829, sharing identical voltage range (5.9–6.5 V), temperature coefficient (±0.0005 %/°C), and package (DO-213AA). The "A" suffix denotes reduced zener impedance (5 Ω vs. 15 Ω for CDLL829) and lower test current (7.5 mA vs. same, but tighter ZZT spec), meaning CDLL829A/TR delivers improved regulation accuracy without layout or schematic changes - a true drop-in upgrade for existing CDLL829 designs.
