Product details
Overview
HZ4.3CP-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode engineered for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 4.3 V ±5%, 400 mW power dissipation, and dynamic resistance of 150 Ω at 0.5 mA test current - deployed in reference voltage generation for ADCs, sensor signal conditioning, and low-drift power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the HZ4.3CP-E datasheet, HZ4.3CP-E pinout, HZ4.3CP-E application, or HZ4.3CP-E equivalent, key selection criteria include verified low-noise performance (1/3–1/10 lower than standard HZ series), tight zener voltage tolerance, DO-35 package thermal limits, and compatibility with DC-biased low-current stabilization circuits.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused silicon junction. Its low noise stems from optimized doping profile and passivation, enabling stable DC regulation without AC coupling requirements.
It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient near 4.3 V (≈−0.07 %/°C), requires no external biasing circuitry, and maintains specified zener impedance only under DC test conditions per REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.3 V ±5% at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference level for feedback or bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW maximum at Ta = 25°C - sets upper limit for continuous DC power handling in PCB-mounted operation |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 150 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity in shunt regulator topologies |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C maximum - constrains thermal design margin when operating near Pd limit on FR-4 PCB |
| Package | DO-35 (JEITA GRZZ0002ZB-A) - axial-leaded glass body with orange body color and navy blue cathode band |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package: hermetically sealed, 2.0 mm diameter body, 26.0 mm length, 0.5 mm lead diameter, 4.2 mm lead spacing (E), mass ≈0.13 g. Cathode identified by navy blue band; anode is unmarked lead.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal where zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 (unbanded end) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener operation | Diode noise level ≈1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series - critical for audio preamps and precision instrumentation front-ends |
| Stable low-current regulation | Specified performance at IZ = 0.5 mA - enables use in ultra-low-power reference designs without minimum current boosters |
| Low zener impedance | rd ≤ 150 Ω - improves line/load regulation in shunt configurations driving <10 kΩ loads |
| Wide ambient temperature range | Tstg = −55°C to +175°C - supports deployment in automotive engine control and industrial sensor modules |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4731A (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 4.3 V ±5%, Pd = 1 W, rd = 9 Ω at 53 mA - higher power but requires ≥53 mA for spec compliance | Designed for higher-current shunt regulation; unsuitable for <1 mA biasing without derating | Select only if circuit can sustain ≥50 mA zener current and requires lower impedance |
| BZX55-C4V3 (Vishay) | Zener voltage 4.3 V ±5%, Pd = 500 mW, rd = 90 Ω at 5 mA - tighter impedance spec but tested at higher current | Optimized for 5 mA operation; exhibits higher dynamic impedance below 2 mA than HZ4.3CP-E | Prefer when system bias current is stable at 3–10 mA and thermal margin exceeds 200 mW |
Compared with 1N4731A and BZX55-C4V3, the HZ4.3CP-E delivers superior low-current stability (0.5 mA test point), lower noise, and guaranteed performance at microampere-level bias - making it uniquely suited for battery-powered precision analog stages where current budget and spectral purity are constrained.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance and test condition for HZ4.3CP-E?
The HZ4.3CP-E has a zener voltage of 4.3 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current of 0.5 mA under DC conditions per REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00. This tolerance ensures predictable reference accuracy in low-bias circuits without requiring external trimming, and the DC test method confirms suitability for static regulation rather than pulsed or AC-coupled use cases.
Does HZ4.3CP-E support operation at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, HZ4.3CP-E is rated for storage from −55°C to +175°C and junction temperature up to 175°C. Its DO-35 package allows direct mounting on FR-4 PCBs with appropriate copper pour; however, power derating is required above 25°C ambient - e.g., maximum dissipation drops to ~200 mW at 70°C ambient per Fig.3 in the datasheet.
How does the noise performance of HZ4.3CP-E compare to standard Zener diodes?
HZ4.3CP-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of conventional HZ-series Zeners due to proprietary planar diffusion and passivation. This low-noise characteristic is validated under DC bias and makes HZ4.3CP-E especially valuable in audio preamplifiers, precision DAC buffers, and sensor signal chains where broadband noise directly impacts SNR.
Can HZ4.3CP-E be used in place of a TL431 in feedback circuits?
No - HZ4.3CP-E is a passive two-terminal Zener diode, whereas TL431 is an active three-terminal shunt regulator with internal reference and amplifier. HZ4.3CP-E may serve as the voltage-setting element *within* a TL431 feedback divider, but cannot replace TL431's functionality. Its 150 Ω dynamic resistance also limits loop stability in closed-loop compensation schemes.
What is the cathode identification method for HZ4.3CP-E?
HZ4.3CP-E uses a navy blue cathode band on the DO-35 glass body, consistent with Renesas HZ-L Series marking. The banded lead is the cathode; the opposite (unbanded) lead is the anode. Body color is orange - a visual identifier distinguishing it from other Zener families and confirming authenticity per JEITA package code GRZZ0002ZB-A.
