Product details
Overview
HZ11C2LTD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage reference and stabilization in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 11.1–11.6 V, dynamic resistance of 80 Ω at 0.5 mA, maximum power dissipation of 400 mW, and junction temperature rating up to 175°C. It is widely deployed in regulated power supplies, sensor excitation circuits, and ADC reference buffers where low noise and stable breakdown behavior are critical.
For engineers reviewing the HZ11C2LTD-E datasheet, HZ11C2LTD-E pinout, HZ11C2LTD-E application, or HZ11C2LTD-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, DO-35 package details, thermal derating guidance, low-noise performance context, and validated alternative parts for supply continuity and design flexibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using controlled avalanche breakdown in a silicon planar junction. Its zener voltage is specified at 0.5 mA test current with DC excitation, and its low dynamic impedance (80 Ω) ensures minimal output variation under load transients. The −0.06 %/°C temperature coefficient near 11.3 V enables predictable drift behavior across industrial temperature ranges.
The HZ11C2LTD-E exhibits approximately 1/3–1/10 lower diode noise than legacy HZ-series Zeners, achieved through refined epitaxial layer control and passivation. Its DO-35 glass package supports manual or automated insertion into PCBs with standard 2.5 mm lead spacing and complies with JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11.1–11.6 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback loops and reference generation |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 80 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 to +175°C - enables operation in extended industrial environments without external heatsinking |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 8.0 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | ≈ −0.06 %/°C - provides predictable, low-drift voltage reference over −40°C to +125°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
The HZ11C2LTD-E is housed in a DO-35 (JEITA GRZZ0002ZB-A / SC-40) axial glass package with cathode band marking. Leads are tinned copper-clad steel, compatible with wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node in reverse-biased configuration; carries full zener current during regulation |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground terminal | Typically tied to circuit common; establishes return path for zener current and defines reference potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener operation | Diode noise reduced to ~1/3–1/10 of standard HZ-series - improves SNR in precision instrumentation front-ends |
| Stable low-impedance regulation | 80 Ω dynamic resistance at 0.5 mA - minimizes output voltage shift under varying load conditions |
| Wide zener voltage range support | Part of HZ-L family spanning 5.2–38 V - allows consistent design methodology across multiple reference points |
| High-temperature reliability | 175°C max junction temperature - supports use in under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives |
| Standardized DO-35 footprint | Compatible with legacy board layouts and automated assembly tooling - simplifies drop-in replacement upgrades |

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 MMBZ5242B | Zener voltage 12 V (±5%), rd = 33 Ω, Pd = 350 mW, SOD-123 package | Higher VZ, lower rd, but 30% less power rating and surface-mount only | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs where 12 V tolerance is acceptable and thermal margin permits lower Pd |
| Vishay BZX55C11 | Zener voltage 11 V (±5%), rd = 100 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Same package, wider VZ tolerance, higher rd, no published noise data | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial designs where ultra-low noise is not required and tighter VZ spec is relaxed |
Compared with MMBZ5242B and BZX55C11, the HZ11C2LTD-E offers superior noise performance and tighter VZ tolerance within the same DO-35 form factor, making it optimal for metrology-grade references-though its 400 mW rating sits between the other two alternatives' power limits.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ11C2LTD-E at 0.5 mA test current?
The HZ11C2LTD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 11.1 V to 11.6 V when measured at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C, as confirmed in the Renesas REJ03G0182-0300 datasheet revision 3.00. This tight 500 mV span supports high-accuracy regulation without post-manufacturing sorting.
Does HZ11C2LTD-E have documented low-noise performance relative to standard Zener diodes?
Yes - the HZ11C2LTD-E datasheet explicitly states its diode noise level is approximately 1/3 to 1/10 lower than the legacy HZ series. This improvement stems from proprietary epitaxial process control and is validated across the full HZ-L family, including the HZ11C2LTD-E variant.
Is HZ11C2LTD-E qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q200?
No - the HZ11C2LTD-E is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas documentation and is intended for computers, office equipment, and industrial systems. It is not AEC-Q200 qualified, and Renesas explicitly excludes automotive use unless separately authorized in writing.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature before thermal derating begins for HZ11C2LTD-E?
Thermal derating for the HZ11C2LTD-E begins at Ta = 25°C, with linear reduction of power dissipation above that point. At 100°C ambient, its usable power drops to approximately 200 mW, based on the published "Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature" curve in Figure 3 of the datasheet.
Can HZ11C2LTD-E be used in place of HZ11C2L without modification?
Yes - the HZ11C2LTD-E is a direct replacement for HZ11C2L, sharing identical electrical specifications, DO-35 packaging, pinout, and thermal characteristics. The "-E" suffix denotes updated traceability and packaging per Renesas' post-merger documentation standards, with no functional change to the HZ11C2LTD-E device itself.
