Product details
Overview
HZ11C1L-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 10.9–11.3 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 0.5 mA, and DO-35 glass package. It serves as a stable reference in sensor signal conditioning, low-drift power supplies, and instrumentation front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the HZ11C1L-E datasheet, HZ11C1L-E pinout, HZ11C1L-E application, or HZ11C1L-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its low noise level (≈1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series), tight zener voltage tolerance, temperature coefficient behavior near zero crossing (~0.02 %/°C at ~11 V), and suitability for DC-stabilized bias networks requiring minimal thermal drift.
Technical Context
The HZ11C1L-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator using silicon planar junction technology, with zener breakdown mechanism dominant in its 11 V range. Its low leakage current (<1 μA at VR = 2.0 V) and low dynamic resistance (80 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA) support high-accuracy DC reference generation.
Designed for DC operation only (per datasheet note), it exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient near zero (~0.02 %/°C) at this voltage level, minimizing drift across −55°C to +175°C ambient range. Junction temperature rating of 175°C enables use in thermally constrained industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.9–11.3 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference point for feedback or bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW - supports continuous regulation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 80 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Current (IR) | <1 μA at VR = 2.0 V - reduces error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55°C to +175°C - enables deployment in automotive under-hood or industrial control enclosures |
| Noise Level | ≈1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series - critical for audio preamps, ADC references, and low-level sensor amplifiers |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A, Renesas code SC-40), orange body with navy-blue cathode band, mass 0.13 g, dimensions φD = 2.0 mm, E = 4.2 mm, L = 26.0 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener anode connection point | Connected to higher-potential node; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at positive potential relative to anode |
| 2 (Anode) | Zener cathode connection point | Typically tied to circuit ground or common reference; completes shunt regulation path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener operation | Diode noise reduced to ≈10–33% of standard HZ-series devices-enables clean references in audio and measurement systems |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±0.2 V window (10.9–11.3 V) at 0.5 mA-supports accurate calibration without post-trim |
| Low dynamic impedance | 80 Ω at 0.5 mA-maintains stable voltage under varying load currents in feedback loops |
| High thermal stability | Temperature coefficient near zero (~0.02 %/°C) at 11 V-minimizes drift in unregulated ambient conditions |
Applications
| Audio Signal Conditioning | Precision Sensor Biasing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-noise DC bias supply for electret microphone preamplifiers and op-amp input stages.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4740A | Zener voltage 10 V ±5%, rd = 17 Ω at 25 mA, Pd = 1 W, DO-41 package | Higher power, higher test current, higher noise, larger footprint | Choose when higher power handling or lower dynamic impedance at high current is required; not suitable for ultra-low-noise or space-constrained designs |
| BZX55C11 | Zener voltage 11 V ±5%, rd = 100 Ω at 5 mA, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Wider voltage tolerance, higher test current, higher noise, same package | Acceptable where tighter VZ tolerance and lower noise are non-critical; verify leakage and tempco fit for precision use cases |
Compared with 1N4740A and BZX55C11, the HZ11C1L-E delivers superior noise performance and tighter VZ control at low bias current, making it preferred for battery-powered instrumentation and low-power analog signal chains where thermal and spectral purity are prioritized over raw power capacity.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage range for HZ11C1L-E?
The HZ11C1L-E has a specified zener voltage range of 10.9 V to 11.3 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This narrow 0.4 V window reflects tight process control for precision reference applications, and the value is guaranteed per Renesas datasheet REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00. The HZ11C1L-E is not rated for operation outside this defined test condition.
Is HZ11C1L-E suitable for AC-coupled or high-frequency applications?
No, the HZ11C1L-E is explicitly rated for DC operation only, as noted in the datasheet ("Tested with DC"). Its dynamic resistance and noise characteristics are characterized under steady-state DC bias, and no AC impedance, capacitance, or frequency response data is provided. For AC or switching applications, a different device type-such as a TVS diode or active reference IC-should be selected instead of the HZ11C1L-E.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for HZ11C1L-E?
The HZ11C1L-E has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA when tested at VR = 2.0 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage supports high-impedance reference nodes and minimizes error current in precision divider networks. The value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official Renesas datasheet REJ03G0182-0300.
Does HZ11C1L-E have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes-the HZ11C1L-E exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient (γZ) of approximately +0.02 %/°C near 11 V, as shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet. This near-zero coefficient minimizes drift over temperature and is a key advantage of the HZ-L series at this voltage point. The coefficient is measured and plotted across the full 5.2–38 V range, with the lowest magnitude occurring around 10–12 V.
What package type does HZ11C1L-E use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The HZ11C1L-E uses the DO-35 glass axial package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A, Renesas code SC-40), with orange body and navy-blue cathode band. While the 2007 datasheet does not state RoHS status, Renesas confirms general RoHS compliance for HZ-L Series devices manufactured after 2006 per company policy; however, for formal compliance documentation, the specific lot date and material declaration for HZ11C1L-E should be obtained from Renesas or Aetrix Electronics.
