Product details
Overview
HZ3BLLRE-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring 33 V nominal zener voltage (33.2–34.6 V), 400 mW power dissipation, <250 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 mA, and noise level ~1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ-series diodes. It serves as a stable reference in high-fidelity audio power supplies and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the HZ3BLLRE-E datasheet, HZ3BLLRE-E pinout, HZ3BLLRE-E application, or HZ3BLLRE-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-noise performance, tight zener voltage tolerance (±1.4 V), DO-35 package thermal limits, and compatibility with low-current (<1 mA) biasing schemes in noise-sensitive analog front-ends.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator using silicon planar junction technology to achieve low leakage current (<1 μA at VR = 25 V) and stable zener breakdown with minimal temperature-induced drift. Its low-noise design targets applications where voltage reference integrity directly impacts signal-to-noise ratio.
The HZ3BLLRE-E belongs to the HZ-L Series, which employs process optimization to reduce generation-recombination noise-distinct from standard Zener diodes-and maintains zener impedance below 250 Ω across its rated test current range (0.5–1 mA), enabling stable regulation under light-load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33.2 V min / 34.6 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise regulation window for mid-range reference designs |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (rd) | 250 Ω max at IZ = 1 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under small-signal load transients |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 25 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current operation in battery-backed references |
| Noise Reduction | ~1/3–1/10 vs. HZ series - directly improves SNR in audio DACs, instrumentation amplifiers, and precision ADC references |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - supports reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without active cooling |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), glass axial leaded case with orange body and navy-blue cathode band; 2.0 mm diameter, 26.0 mm length, 0.13 g mass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated voltage node; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return | Provides low-impedance path to circuit common; layout must minimize trace inductance for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener structure | Reduces broadband voltage noise by factor of 3–10 versus legacy HZ diodes, critical for audio and measurement systems |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±1.4 V over full operating range enables accurate 33 V reference without post-regulation trimming |
| Low dynamic impedance | 250 Ω max ensures <0.25 V output shift per 1 mA load change-ideal for high-PSRR analog stages |
| High junction temperature rating | 175°C allows use in thermally constrained spaces such as sealed power modules or automotive engine compartments |
Applications
| High-Fidelity Audio Power Supply | Precision Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5261BTR | Zener voltage 33 V (±5%), 500 mW rating, rd ≈ 350 Ω at 15 mA, higher noise than HZ3BLLRE-E | Designed for general-purpose regulation-not optimized for low-noise analog; requires higher bias current | Acceptable where cost is primary concern and noise < −80 dBu is not required |
| BZX85C33 | Zener voltage 33 V (±5%), 1.3 W rating, rd ≈ 50 Ω at 20 mA, no published noise spec | Higher power capability but larger DO-41 package; lacks documented low-noise process | Suitable for high-current industrial supplies but unsuitable for audio-grade references due to unverified noise performance |
Compared with 1N5261BTR and BZX85C33, the HZ3BLLRE-E delivers superior noise suppression and tighter voltage tolerance at lower bias current, making it uniquely suited for precision analog reference roles where signal integrity outweighs raw power handling.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ3BLLRE-E?
The HZ3BLLRE-E has a zener voltage range of 33.2 V minimum to 34.6 V maximum, measured at a test current of 0.5 mA. This 1.4 V tolerance reflects the device's precision grading within the HZ-L Series and ensures predictable regulation behavior in low-noise reference circuits without requiring external trimming.
Does HZ3BLLRE-E require a minimum bias current to maintain regulation?
Yes, the HZ3BLLRE-E requires a minimum zener current of 0.5 mA to guarantee operation within its specified voltage range and dynamic impedance. Below this threshold, regulation becomes unstable and voltage drift increases significantly-designs must ensure bias networks deliver ≥0.5 mA under worst-case temperature and input conditions.
How does the noise performance of HZ3BLLRE-E compare to standard Zener diodes?
The HZ3BLLRE-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the broadband voltage noise of conventional HZ-series Zeners due to proprietary silicon planar processing. This reduction is verified in Renesas' characterization data and directly translates to improved SNR in audio DACs, precision ADC references, and low-level sensor interfaces.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous operation of HZ3BLLRE-E?
The HZ3BLLRE-E supports continuous operation up to +125°C ambient temperature when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB with 10 mm lead length, based on its derated power curve. At 25°C ambient, full 400 mW dissipation is permitted; above that, linear derating applies per the datasheet's Fig.3.
Is HZ3BLLRE-E compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the HZ3BLLRE-E's DO-35 glass package and internal construction are qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-20D, peak 260°C for ≤10 seconds). The device's 175°C maximum junction temperature provides sufficient margin, and no special pre-baking is required for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) compliance.
