Product details
Overview
HZ3ALLTD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications at low current (IZ = 0.5 mA), with a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V (min 2.5 V, max 2.9 V), dynamic impedance of 360 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 HZ3ALLTD-E datasheet, HZ3ALLTD-E pinout, HZ3ALLTD-E application, or HZ3ALLTD-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DO-35 package mapping, cathode/anode terminal roles, low-noise Zener behavior below 1 mA, and direct alternatives for voltage reference design continuity.
Technical Context
The HZ3ALLTD-E employs a planar diffusion structure to achieve sharp Zener breakdown knee characteristics between IZ = 1 nA and 1 mA, enabling stable reference generation without external current boosting. Its semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ curve minimizes voltage drift under microamp-level bias conditions.
Designed for low-power analog systems, it delivers <50 Ω dynamic impedance at IZK = 0.5 µA (knee region) and maintains linearity ∆VZ1 ≤ 0.5 V across IZ = 0.05 mA to 0.5 mA - critical for battery-powered instrumentation where supply current must remain sub-100 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.5 V to 2.9 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines tight tolerance band for 2.7 V nominal reference in low-current bias networks. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 360 Ω max at IZT = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients in high-impedance feedback paths. |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 50 Ω max at IZK = 0.5 µA - enables stable regulation down to nanoampere bias currents, supporting ultra-low-power sensor excitation. |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | –0.02 mV/°C - contributes <±0.3 mV drift over –25°C to +85°C ambient, suitable for non-compensated industrial-grade references. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 250 mW max - limits continuous operation to ≤100 µA at 2.7 V in free-air, enforcing thermal-aware PCB layout in dense analog sections. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - allows operation in high-ambient environments such as automotive engine control modules when derated per Fig.3. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), glass axial leaded, 2.5 mm diameter × 3 mm body length, cathode identified by navy-blue band. Mass: 0.13 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased during Zener operation; requires current-limiting resistor to source. |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lowest potential node; establishes reference return path and defines polarity of regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hard-knee Zener characteristic | VZ–IZ curve exhibits sharp transition at IZ ≈ 1 µA, reducing uncertainty in low-current regulation points used in micropower comparators. |
| Low noise performance | Approximately 1/10 lower noise than standard Zeners in 10 Hz–10 kHz band - directly improves SNR in precision ADC reference buffers. |
| Semi-logarithmic linearity | ∆VZ1 ≤ 0.5 V and ∆VZ2 ≤ 0.6 V across three decades of current (1 nA–1 mA), enabling predictable scaling in programmable bias generators. |
| Negligible tempco at 2.7 V | γZ = –0.02 mV/°C near zero-crossing point - eliminates need for external compensation in cost-sensitive industrial sensors. |
Applications
| Portable Gas Sensor Biasing | Thermocouple Cold-Junction Compensation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered NDIR gas sensor requiring stable 2.7 V bias for IR emitter LED and signal conditioning amplifier.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference for RTD or thermistor bridge excitation and ADC reference scaling. Use Value: Delivers <±0.05% full-scale error contribution over operating temperature due to low γZ and tight VZ tolerance. |
| Medical Pulse Oximeter LED Driver | Industrial Current Loop Transmitter |
Use Scenario: Compact wearable pulse oximeter using red/IR LEDs driven by constant-current sources referenced to stable DC voltage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5223B (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 2.5 V ±5%, ZZT = 270 Ω at 20 mA - higher test current, higher dynamic impedance at µA-level bias. | Requires ≥1 mA bias for stable regulation; unsuitable for sub-100 µA systems. | Select only if system can support ≥1 mA reference current and tolerates wider VZ spread. |
| BZX55C2V7 (Vishay) | Zener voltage 2.7 V ±5%, ZZT = 350 Ω at 5 mA - similar VZ but specified at higher IZT, less defined knee behavior below 100 µA. | Lacks documented low-noise performance and hard-knee characterization below 10 µA. | Acceptable for general-purpose 2.7 V reference where µA-level stability and noise are not critical. |
Compared with HZ3ALLTD-E, the 1N5223B demands significantly higher bias current for regulation stability, while BZX55C2V7 lacks verified low-noise and sharp-knee behavior - making HZ3ALLTD-E uniquely suited for micropower analog reference designs requiring sub-100 µA operation and <1 µV/√Hz noise floor.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of HZ3ALLTD-E at 0.5 mA?
The HZ3ALLTD-E has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 2.5 V to 2.9 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA, corresponding to a nominal 2.7 V with ±0.2 V absolute tolerance. This specification is measured under DC conditions per REJ03G0183-0300 Rev.3.00 and applies strictly to the HZ3ALLTD-E variant within the HZ-LL Series.
Does HZ3ALLTD-E support operation below 1 µA?
Yes, the HZ3ALLTD-E exhibits defined Zener behavior down to IZ = 1 nA, with documented linearity metrics ∆VZ1 and ∆VZ2 covering the 0.001 mA to 0.5 mA range. Its hard-knee characteristic ensures usable regulation even at 100 nA, though dynamic impedance rises above 5 kΩ below 1 µA - confirmed in Figure 1 of the official datasheet.
Is HZ3ALLTD-E RoHS compliant?
Yes, HZ3ALLTD-E complies with the EU RoHS Directive as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' environmental documentation. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits, and its DO-35 glass package meets material declaration requirements per Renesas' published compliance statements.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous operation of HZ3ALLTD-E?
The HZ3ALLTD-E supports continuous operation up to +125°C ambient temperature when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB (100 × 180 × 1.6 mm, paper phenol), based on the derating curve in Figure 3 of REJ03G0183-0300. At 125°C, its power dissipation must be limited to ≤120 mW to maintain junction temperature ≤175°C.
Can HZ3ALLTD-E replace standard Zeners like 1N4728A in existing designs?
No - HZ3ALLTD-E is not a drop-in replacement for 1N4728A (3.3 V, 1 W). It operates at much lower current (0.5 mA vs. 76 mA), has different Zener voltage (2.7 V vs. 3.3 V), and uses DO-35 instead of DO-41. Direct substitution would cause regulation failure; redesign of bias network and layout is required to leverage HZ3ALLTD-E's low-power advantages.
