Product details
Overview
HZ2CLLTA-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications at low currents (IZ = 1 nA to 1 mA), with nominal Zener voltage 2.4 V (min 2.2 V, max 2.6 V), dynamic impedance 350 Ω at IZT = 0.5 mA, and temperature coefficient of –0.02 mV/°C - used in precision analog front-ends and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZ2CLLTA-E datasheet, HZ2CLLTA-E pinout, HZ2CLLTA-E application, or HZ2CLLTA-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its sharp breakdown knee at sub-microamp currents, ultra-low noise performance (~1/10 that of standard zeners), DO-35 package compatibility, and suitability for low-power reference design where thermal stability and linearity below 1 mA matter.
Technical Context
The HZ2CLLTA-E employs a planar diffusion structure enabling semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity across six decades of current (1 nA to 1 mA), delivering a hard-knee characteristic critical for stable low-current regulation. Its junction design minimizes surface leakage and traps, directly contributing to reduced noise and improved temperature coefficient uniformity.
Unlike conventional zeners, the HZ2CLLTA-E achieves <±0.02 mV/°C temperature coefficient near 2.4 V - a region where most silicon zeners exhibit positive drift - due to precise doping control and optimized junction geometry. This enables accurate DC biasing in battery-powered instrumentation without active compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.2 V to 2.6 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable reference point for low-current analog circuits with ±0.2 V tolerance. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 350 Ω max at IZT = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation in precision references. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 100 nA max at VR = 0.5 V - guarantees high off-state blocking for low-leakage bias networks. |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | –0.02 mV/°C - enables <±10 µV/°C drift over 0–70°C, critical for unbuffered sensor excitation. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 250 mW - supports continuous operation up to 10 mA at 25°C ambient without derating in DO-35 package. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C - allows reliable operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts with localized heating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), glass axial leaded, cathode identified by navy-blue band, body color verdure, mass 0.13 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener voltage reference node | Connected to regulated output or bias rail; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction. |
| 2 (Anode) | Current return path / ground reference | Typically tied to system ground or current-sink node; reverse-biased operation requires anode at lower potential than cathode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity | Linear down to 1 nA - enables stable reference generation in nanoamp-level sensor interfaces without op-amp buffering. |
| Hard-knee breakdown | Sharp transition at ~0.05 mA - eliminates ambiguity in turn-on threshold for low-current regulation and clamping. |
| Low dynamic impedance (ZZK) | 50 Ω max at IZK = 0.5 µA - maintains regulation integrity even when driven by high-impedance sources like photodiodes. |
| Ultra-low noise | ~1/10 noise of standard zeners - reduces RMS noise floor in precision ADC reference chains and low-level amplifiers. |
| Negative temperature coefficient | –0.02 mV/°C at 2.4 V - cancels typical op-amp input offset drift in compensated bias networks. |
Applications
| Portable Gas Sensor Biasing | Thermistor Excitation Reference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5221B (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 2.4 V ±5%, ZZT = 600 Ω, γZ = +0.05 mV/°C, higher noise, DO-35 package | Higher drift and noise limit use to non-critical industrial controls; unsuitable for <16-bit precision systems | Acceptable only if cost sensitivity outweighs stability requirements and thermal environment is tightly controlled. |
| BZX55C2V4 (Vishay) | Zener voltage 2.4 V ±5%, ZZT = 500 Ω, γZ = +0.03 mV/°C, no guaranteed low-noise spec, DO-35 | Lacks hard-knee linearity below 10 µA - causes hysteresis in microamp-level biasing circuits | Use only in legacy designs where existing BOM uses BZX55 series; not recommended for new low-current reference designs. |
Compared with 1N5221B and BZX55C2V4, the HZ2CLLTA-E delivers superior low-current regulation fidelity, negative temperature coefficient alignment with common op-amp drift profiles, and verified noise reduction - making it the only option among the three qualified for 20+ bit precision analog signal chains at sub-100 µA operating points.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of HZ2CLLTA-E at 0.5 mA test current?
The HZ2CLLTA-E has a specified Zener voltage range of 2.2 V to 2.6 V when measured at IZ = 0.5 mA, yielding a nominal value of 2.4 V with ±0.2 V absolute tolerance. This 8.3% tolerance band is tighter than standard 5% zeners at equivalent voltage, reflecting Renesas' process control for the HZ-LL Series. The HZ2CLLTA-E maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range without binning.
Does HZ2CLLTA-E support operation below 1 µA, and what is its behavior at 10 nA?
Yes, the HZ2CLLTA-E is characterized down to 1 nA and exhibits semi-logarithmic linearity starting at 10 nA. At 10 nA, VZ is typically 2.38 V - within 0.02 V of its 0.5 mA value - confirming stable regulation far below conventional zener thresholds. This behavior is documented in Figure 1 of REJ03G0183-0300 Rev.3.00 and makes the HZ2CLLTA-E uniquely suited for nanoamp-level biasing in photodiode and ion-selective electrode circuits.
Is HZ2CLLTA-E RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the HZ2CLLTA-E meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is manufactured as a halogen-free device per Renesas' environmental compliance policy. The DO-35 glass package contains no lead in solderable terminations, and material declarations confirm absence of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and antimony trioxide. Full compliance documentation is available via Renesas' website using part number HZ2CLLTA-E.
Can HZ2CLLTA-E replace standard 2.4 V zeners like 1N5221B in existing PCB layouts?
Yes, the HZ2CLLTA-E uses the same DO-35 package (GRZZ0002ZB-A) and identical pinout (cathode band on lead 1) as 1N5221B, enabling direct physical replacement without layout changes. However, due to its lower dynamic impedance and negative temperature coefficient, system-level validation is required to confirm stability margins - especially in feedback loops relying on positive TC compensation. The HZ2CLLTA-E is not a drop-in functional replacement unless the original design accounts for its distinct electrical profile.
What is the maximum allowable reverse voltage before breakdown for HZ2CLLTA-E?
The HZ2CLLTA-E does not specify a discrete "reverse breakdown voltage" separate from its Zener voltage; its rated Zener voltage of 2.2–2.6 V at 0.5 mA defines its nominal regulation point. Per Absolute Maximum Ratings, the device may be subjected to up to 0.5 V reverse bias (VR) while maintaining IR ≤ 100 nA - meaning it remains effectively non-conductive below ~2.0 V. Operation above 2.6 V initiates controlled Zener conduction, with safe dissipation up to 250 mW at Ta = 25°C.
