Product details
Overview
CDLL943B from Microsemi is a temperature-compensated, hermetically sealed Zener reference diode in DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) package, with nominal zener voltage 11.7 V, zener impedance 47 Ω at 7.5 mA, and temperature coefficient 0.002 %/°C over –55°C to +150°C. It delivers high stability for precision voltage references in aerospace power conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL943B datasheet, CDLL943B pinout, CDLL943B application, or CDLL943B equivalent, key selection criteria include its low TC, extended temperature range, hermetic MELF construction, and compatibility with high-reliability surface-mount assembly processes requiring MIL-PRF-19500 compliance.
Technical Context
The CDLL943B uses metallurgically bonded, double-plug construction to achieve tight voltage regulation and minimized thermal hysteresis. Its zener impedance of 47 Ω at 7.5 mA and temperature coefficient of 0.002 %/°C enable stable reference performance across wide ambient extremes.
This device operates with cathode-positive polarity in any mounting orientation and exhibits axial CTE of +6 ppm/°C-requiring matched COE substrates for minimal mechanical stress-induced drift in precision analog circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDLL943A | Same VZ, 36 Ω ZZT, rated –55°C to +100°C | Limited to commercial/military ground systems without extended temp requirements | Select when full –55°C to +150°C range is not required and lower zener impedance is preferred |
| CDLL944B | Same temp range, 24 Ω ZZT, tighter VZ tolerance (11.12–12.28 V → 11.4–12.0 V) | Better regulation for ultra-precision references where 11.7 V nominal is acceptable | Choose when lower impedance and improved voltage consistency outweigh slightly higher cost |
Compared with CDLL943B, CDLL943A trades extended temperature capability for lower zener impedance, while CDLL944B offers tighter voltage spread and lower impedance but shifts nominal regulation point-making CDLL943B optimal for high-temp-stable 11.7 V references where moderate impedance suffices.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage of the CDLL943B?
The CDLL943B has a nominal zener voltage of 11.7 V, with a specified range of 11.12 V to 12.28 V at test current IZT = 7.5 mA. This voltage is tightly controlled via temperature compensation and double-plug construction to maintain stability across its full –55°C to +150°C operating range.
Is the CDLL943B suitable for surface-mount assembly?
Yes, the CDLL943B is packaged in DO-213AA (MELF/LL34), a leadless, cylindrical glass surface-mount package. Its hermetic construction and tin/lead lead finish support reflow soldering per J-STD-020, and it is qualified for high-reliability SMT processes in aerospace and defense manufacturing.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the CDLL943B?
The CDLL943B is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C. This extended temperature range is validated per MIL-PRF-19500/157 and confirmed by thermal testing including power derating curves and zener voltage drift measurements across the full span.
How does the CDLL943B differ from the CDLL943A?
The CDLL943B shares identical zener voltage and test current with CDLL943A but extends the operating temperature range from –55°C to +100°C (CDLL943A) to –55°C to +150°C and increases zener impedance from 36 Ω to 47 Ω. Both use the same DO-213AA package and double-plug construction.
Does the CDLL943B require heatsinking in typical applications?
No, the CDLL943B does not require external heatsinking in typical reference applications. With 500 mW max power dissipation at +50°C and 4 mW/°C derating, it safely dissipates up to ~20 mW at +150°C-well within its operational envelope when biased at 7.5 mA into a high-impedance load.
