Product details
Overview
HZ22-3RE-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 22.3–23.3 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 20.0 Ω dynamic resistance at 0.5 mA test current, and DO-35 glass package. It serves as a stable reference in low-drift power supplies and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the HZ22-3RE-E datasheet, HZ22-3RE-E pinout, HZ22-3RE-E application, or HZ22-3RE-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-noise performance (1/3–1/10 lower than standard HZ series), tight zener voltage tolerance, temperature coefficient behavior below 0.1%/°C above 20 V, and suitability for low-current (<1 mA) stabilization where leakage and impedance stability are critical.
Technical Context
The HZ22-3RE-E operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a silicon planar junction, with cathode-anode polarity confirmed by navy-blue band marking. Its low-noise design targets applications requiring minimal broadband voltage fluctuation under fixed DC bias.
Electrical behavior is characterized at 25°C with 0.5 mA zener test current; dynamic resistance remains stable up to 1 mA, and reverse leakage stays below 1 μA at VR = 17.5 V. Junction temperature rating of 175°C supports operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.3–23.3 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable regulation range for mid-range supply references |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW - limits maximum continuous DC current to ~17.9 mA at 22.3 V without heatsinking |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 20.0 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures <1% output variation over ±1 mA load shifts |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 17.5 V - minimizes error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C - enables reliable operation in sealed enclosures or near heat-generating components |
| Package | DO-35 glass axial - provides hermetic sealing and thermal stability for long-term calibration integrity |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package with orange body color and navy-blue cathode band. Cathode is marked end; anode is unmarked lead.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; must be held at higher potential than anode during conduction |
| 2 (Unbanded End) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lowest potential reference point; completes bias path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise operation | Diode noise level ≈1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series - reduces RMS voltage ripple in sensitive ADC references |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±0.5 V window at 22.3–23.3 V - enables accurate 24 V rail monitoring without post-regulation trimming |
| Low zener impedance | 20.0 Ω dynamic resistance - maintains regulation stability across varying load currents in feedback loops |
| Hermetic DO-35 packaging | Glass-sealed axial construction - prevents moisture-induced parameter drift in humid environments |
Applications
| High-Precision Reference Supply | Low-Drift Sensor Biasing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable excitation voltage to strain gauge bridges in industrial weighing systems operating over −40°C to +85°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage reference element establishing fixed bias point for Wheatstone bridge output conditioning. Use Value: Low temperature coefficient (<0.1%/°C) and low noise ensure bridge offset drift remains <50 μV/°C, enabling 16-bit measurement resolution. | Use Scenario: Biasing photodiode current-to-voltage amplifiers in optical smoke detectors requiring ultra-low dark-current error. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage (≤1 μA) zener reference setting transimpedance amplifier gain node potential. Use Value: Sub-microamp reverse leakage prevents false alarm triggers caused by reference-induced input bias current errors. |
| Stabilized Power Monitor | Calibration Standard in Test Equipment |
Use Scenario: Monitoring 24 V DC bus integrity in programmable logic controller (PLC) backplanes with ±1% accuracy requirement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt regulator clamping reference input to analog-to-digital converter measuring bus voltage. Use Value: 400 mW power rating allows direct shunt operation without series resistor, simplifying BOM and layout. | Use Scenario: Serving as traceable voltage standard in handheld multimeter calibration jigs used by field service technicians. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary DC reference source against which DMM internal DACs and ADCs are adjusted. Use Value: Hermetic DO-35 package ensures long-term calibration stability (<50 ppm/year drift) under repeated thermal cycling. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5255B (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 22 V ±5%, rd = 27 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Higher dynamic resistance increases load regulation error; wider voltage tolerance requires tighter external filtering | Select when higher power margin is needed and noise sensitivity is secondary |
| BZX55-C22 (Vishay) | Zener voltage 22 V ±5%, rd = 30 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package, no low-noise specification | No documented noise reduction vs. standard Zeners; leakage typically 10× higher than HZ22-3RE-E at same VR | Select for cost-sensitive general-purpose regulation where noise floor is not critical |
Compared with 1N5255B and BZX55-C22, the HZ22-3RE-E delivers superior low-noise performance and tighter dynamic impedance control-critical for metrology-grade references-but requires stricter current limiting due to its 400 mW rating versus their 500 mW capability.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage range specified for HZ22-3RE-E?
The HZ22-3RE-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 22.3 V to 23.3 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 1.0 V window reflects the "3" variant within the HZ22-L family and ensures predictable regulation behavior without post-manufacturing sorting.
Does HZ22-3RE-E have a documented noise performance advantage over standard Zener diodes?
Yes - the HZ-L Series datasheet explicitly states that HZ22-3RE-E exhibits approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of the legacy HZ series. This low-noise characteristic is achieved through optimized silicon planar junction processing and is verified under DC test conditions per REJ03G0182-0300.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZ22-3RE-E at 17.5 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current for HZ22-3RE-E is 1 μA when measured at VR = 17.5 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage supports use in high-impedance reference nodes where even nanoamp-level errors degrade accuracy.
Is HZ22-3RE-E supplied in tape-and-reel or bulk packaging?
HZ22-3RE-E is supplied in bulk packaging per the Renesas ordering information in REJ03G0182-0300. Tape-and-reel is not specified for this DO-35 device; automated placement requires custom carrier tape conversion by the assembler.
What is the temperature coefficient behavior of HZ22-3RE-E above 20 V?
Per Figure 2 in the HZ-L Series datasheet, the zener voltage temperature coefficient (γZ) for HZ22-3RE-E is less than ±0.1%/°C across its operating range. This low drift enables stable reference performance in unregulated ambient environments without active compensation.
