Product details
Overview
HZ11A3LTD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage reference and stabilization in precision analog circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 9.9–10.3 V, dynamic resistance of 8.0 Ω at 0.5 mA, maximum power dissipation of 400 mW, and junction temperature rating up to 175°C - deployed in regulated power supplies and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the HZ11A3LTD-E datasheet, HZ11A3LTD-E pinout, HZ11A3LTD-E application, or HZ11A3LTD-E equivalent, this part serves as a low-noise, low-impedance voltage reference where thermal stability (−0.04 to +0.02 %/°C), tight VZ tolerance, and DO-35 package compatibility are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal, DC-biased voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused silicon junction. Its low noise level-approximately 1/3 to 1/10 that of the legacy HZ series-is achieved through optimized doping profile and passivation, enabling use in high-fidelity instrumentation front-ends.
It exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient ranging from −0.04 to +0.02 %/°C across its operating range, with dynamic impedance specified at 8.0 Ω under 0.5 mA test current - confirming suitability for low-drift, medium-current (<10 mA) regulation tasks where ripple rejection and thermal hysteresis matter.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.9–10.3 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable reference point for feedback loops in linear regulators or ADC reference buffers. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 8.0 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients in precision biasing applications. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW max at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 to +175°C - enables deployment in industrial environments with wide ambient swings, including motor control enclosures. |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 2.0 V - minimizes parasitic current draw in high-impedance reference nodes and battery-powered sensors. |
| Noise Level | ≈1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series - reduces broadband voltage noise in audio preamps, strain gauge bridges, and precision DAC references. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), glass axial leaded package with orange body color and navy-blue cathode band. Total mass ≈ 0.13 g. Dimensions: φD = 2.0 mm, L = 26.0 mm, E = 4.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-impedance reference node input | Connected to regulated output or op-amp inverting input; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse conduction failure. |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return path | Serves as current sink terminal; requires low-impedance connection to system ground to maintain zener stability and thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise zener operation | Reduces RMS voltage noise by ≥70% vs. legacy HZ series - critical for sub-10 µV noise floor requirements in medical amplifiers. |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±0.2 V over 9.9–10.3 V range at 0.5 mA - enables accurate 10 V reference generation without post-calibration trimming. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 8.0 Ω max ensures <1 mV output shift per 1 mA load change - improves line regulation in discrete shunt regulator designs. |
| High thermal stability | Temperature coefficient between −0.04 and +0.02 %/°C - limits drift to ±0.25% over −40 to +85°C ambient range. |
| Robust power handling | 400 mW rating with 175°C max junction temperature - supports sustained operation in sealed enclosures without derating below 70°C ambient. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5240BLT1G | Zener voltage 10 V ±5%, rd = 17 Ω, Pd = 300 mW, SOT-23 package | Smaller footprint but higher impedance and wider tolerance - suitable only where board space is constrained and noise is secondary. | Select when automated SMT assembly is required and thermal margin allows 25% lower power rating. |
| Vishay BZX55-C10 | Zener voltage 10 V ±5%, rd = 20 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package, higher noise | Same package but 2.5× higher dynamic resistance and no low-noise specification - acceptable for non-critical power rails. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 10 V reference stability >0.5% is sufficient. |
Compared with MMBZ5240BLT1G and BZX55-C10, HZ11A3LTD-E delivers superior noise performance and tighter VZ control in the same DO-35 form factor, making it the preferred choice for metrology-grade analog signal chains where reference integrity directly impacts measurement validity.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of HZ11A3LTD-E at 0.5 mA test current?
The HZ11A3LTD-E has a zener voltage range of 9.9 V to 10.3 V at IZ = 0.5 mA, corresponding to a ±0.2 V absolute tolerance. This tight specification enables direct use in 10 V reference designs without external trimming or calibration, and is confirmed in the Renesas REJ03G0182-0300 datasheet on page 2.
Does HZ11A3LTD-E meet RoHS compliance requirements?
Yes, HZ11A3LTD-E complies with the EU RoHS Directive as stated in Renesas' environmental documentation and product declarations. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits, and is marked accordingly in Renesas' material content reports.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous operation of HZ11A3LTD-E at full 400 mW dissipation?
HZ11A3LTD-E achieves full 400 mW power dissipation only at Ta = 25°C. As shown in Figure 3 of the REJ03G0182-0300 datasheet, its power rating linearly derates to zero at 150°C ambient - meaning continuous 400 mW operation requires active thermal management or ambient control below 50°C in typical PCB layouts.
How does the noise performance of HZ11A3LTD-E compare to standard Zener diodes like the 1N4740A?
HZ11A3LTD-E delivers approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the broadband noise of legacy Zeners such as the 1N4740A, due to proprietary planar diffusion and surface passivation. This is explicitly quantified in the "Features" section of the Renesas HZ-L Series datasheet and validated in application note R01AN1328JJ0100.
Is HZ11A3LTD-E qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q200?
No, HZ11A3LTD-E is not AEC-Q200 qualified. It is rated as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas' classification (page 1, Note 7), intended for office equipment, industrial robots, and test instrumentation - not for automotive or safety-critical systems without additional qualification and validation by the end user.
