Product details
Overview
HZ16-2LTD-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 15.7–16.5 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 14.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 0.5 mA test current, and DO-35 glass package with navy-blue cathode band. It is used in low-drift power supply feedback paths and sensor biasing where noise suppression is critical.
For engineers reviewing the HZ16-2LTD-E datasheet, HZ16-2LTD-E pinout, HZ16-2LTD-E application, or HZ16-2LTD-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, package dimensions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all aligned to Renesas' HZ-L Series documentation (REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a silicon planar junction, with zener voltage specified at 0.5 mA DC test current and dynamic resistance measured under the same condition. Its temperature coefficient ranges from −0.04 %/°C to +0.02 %/°C near 16 V, enabling stable regulation across industrial ambient temperatures.
The HZ16-2LTD-E exhibits 1/3–1/10 lower noise than legacy HZ-series diodes, achieved via optimized doping and junction geometry. It is rated for junction temperatures up to 175°C and storage from −55°C to +175°C, supporting deployment in thermally demanding environments without derating below 400 mW at 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.7–16.5 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback networks requiring tight tolerance |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 14.0 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with natural convection cooling |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 12.0 V - guarantees negligible current draw in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C maximum - enables reliable operation in enclosed enclosures or near heat-generating components |
| Package | DO-35 (JEITA GRZZ0002ZB-A) - industry-standard axial glass package with 2.0 mm body diameter and 26 mm lead length |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise performance | 1/3–1/10 lower noise vs. standard HZ series - reduces voltage reference jitter in ADC/DAC biasing |
| Stable temperature coefficient | −0.04 to +0.02 %/°C near 16 V - minimizes drift over −40°C to +85°C operating range |
| Low dynamic impedance | 14.0 Ω max at 0.5 mA - improves line/load regulation in shunt regulator topologies |
| High reliability packaging | Hermetically sealed DO-35 glass envelope - prevents moisture ingress and maintains long-term VZ stability |

Use Scenario: Shunt-based voltage reference in isolated flyback converter feedback loop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides stable 16 V reference to optocoupler input, enabling accurate secondary-side regulation. Use Value: Low dynamic impedance (14.0 Ω) and low noise ensure <±0.5% output voltage tolerance across line/load variations. |
Use Scenario: Bias voltage source for bridge-type pressure sensors in factory automation systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies excitation voltage to Wheatstone bridge with minimal thermal drift. Use Value: Temperature coefficient of −0.04 to +0.02 %/°C limits sensor offset error to <10 ppm/°C over operating range. |
| Test Equipment Reference | Medical Diagnostic Signal Conditioning |
|
Use Scenario: Calibration reference in portable multimeter front-end circuitry. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as primary voltage standard for ADC full-scale adjustment. Use Value: Low leakage (<1 μA) prevents loading of high-impedance calibration DAC outputs. |
Use Scenario: Stable bias for photodiode preamplifiers in non-invasive pulse oximeters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Sets op-amp common-mode voltage in transimpedance stage. Use Value: Reduced noise floor enables detection of sub-nA photocurrents without added reference-induced interference. |
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 MMBZ5245BS-7-F | Zener voltage 15 V ±5%, 200 mW rating, SOD-123 surface-mount package | Lacks low-noise optimization; higher dynamic impedance (20 Ω) and wider tempco (±0.08 %/°C) | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs where noise is secondary to footprint size |
| Vishay BZX55-C16 | Zener voltage 16 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, DO-35 package, but 300 Ω typical rd at 5 mA | No low-noise specification; higher impedance degrades regulation under varying load | Suitable for general-purpose stabilization where cost is prioritized over precision |
Compared with HZ16-2LTD-E, the MMBZ5245BS-7-F offers smaller size but sacrifices noise performance and thermal stability, while the BZX55-C16 provides higher power handling yet lacks the low-impedance, low-drift behavior critical for metrology-grade references.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ16-2LTD-E?
The HZ16-2LTD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 15.7 V to 16.5 V when tested at 0.5 mA DC current and 25°C ambient temperature, per Renesas datasheet REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00. This tolerance reflects process-controlled junction characteristics and is validated during final test screening.
Is HZ16-2LTD-E RoHS compliant?
Yes, HZ16-2LTD-E meets EU RoHS Directive requirements as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' environmental compliance documentation. The DO-35 glass package contains no lead in solderable terminations, and all materials comply with maximum concentration limits for restricted substances.
Can HZ16-2LTD-E be used in place of HZ16-2L?
Yes - HZ16-2LTD-E is a direct replacement for HZ16-2L, sharing identical electrical specifications, DO-35 package, and navy-blue cathode band marking. The "-E" suffix denotes updated traceability and packaging per Renesas' post-merger labeling standards (Renesas Electronics Corporation, formerly NEC Electronics).
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation at 70°C ambient?
Per the derating curve in Figure 3 of the HZ-L Series datasheet, HZ16-2LTD-E's power dissipation must be linearly reduced from 400 mW at 25°C to approximately 280 mW at 70°C ambient temperature. This ensures junction temperature remains within the 175°C absolute maximum limit.
Does HZ16-2LTD-E have a specified noise voltage spectral density?
No, the Renesas datasheet does not publish quantitative noise voltage spectral density (e.g., nV/√Hz); it states only that HZ-L Series diodes exhibit "approximately 1/3–1/10 lower noise" versus the legacy HZ series. For noise-critical designs, empirical measurement under actual operating conditions is recommended.
