Product details
Overview
HZ4BLLTD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications at low currents (1 nA to 1 mA), with a nominal zener voltage of 3.9 V (min 3.7 V, max 4.1 V), dynamic impedance of 370 Ω at IZT = 2.0 mA, and temperature coefficient of –0.02 mV/°C - used in precision analog front-ends and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZ4BLLTD-E datasheet, HZ4BLLTD-E pinout, HZ4BLLTD-E application, or HZ4BLLTD-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DO-35 package details, cathode/anode terminal mapping, low-current noise performance data, and direct alternative options for voltage reference design validation.
Technical Context
The HZ4BLLTD-E implements a hard-knee Zener breakdown structure with semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity from 1 nA to 1 mA, enabling stable reference generation where conventional Zeners exhibit excessive knee softness. Its low dynamic impedance (370 Ω typ. at 2 mA) and ultra-low noise support high-accuracy DC sensing.
Designed for operation at low test currents (IZK = 0.5 µA max, IZT = 2.0 mA), it achieves tighter voltage tolerance (±0.2 V) and reduced temperature drift (–0.02 mV/°C) versus standard Zeners - critical for battery-powered instrumentation and calibration circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.7 V min to 4.1 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines tight 3.9 V nominal reference with ±5.1% tolerance for stable low-power biasing. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 370 Ω typical at IZT = 2.0 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation in precision references. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤100 nA at VR = 1.0 V - enables ultra-low leakage in high-impedance feedback networks and energy-harvesting circuits. |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | –0.02 mV/°C - delivers near-zero drift over industrial temperature range, reducing calibration burden in portable test gear. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 250 mW maximum - supports continuous operation in DO-35 packages without forced cooling in ambient ≤70°C. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C maximum - allows reliable operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts and sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A, Renesas code SC-40), glass axial leaded case with navy blue cathode band and verdure body color. Mass: 0.13 g. Dimensions: φD = 2.0 mm max, L = 26.0 mm min, E = 4.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener voltage reference output | Connected to regulated node; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse conduction failure. |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return | Serves as current sink path; requires low-impedance connection to system ground for stable regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hard-knee breakdown | VZ–IZ curve exhibits sharp transition at ~0.05 mA, minimizing uncertainty in low-current reference points. |
| Low-noise operation | Approximately 1/10 lower noise than standard Zeners in 1 nA–1 mA region - improves SNR in ADC reference buffers. |
| Semi-logarithmic linearity | ∆VZ1 = 0.5 V max (0.05 mA → 0.5 mA), ∆VZ2 = 0.6 V max (0.001 mA → 0.05 mA) - enables predictable scaling across decades of current. |
| Low-temperature coefficient | –0.02 mV/°C at 3.9 V - reduces thermal drift to <0.2 mV over 0°C–70°C, eliminating need for external compensation. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5226BRLG | Zener voltage 3.3 V (±5%), higher ZZT = 600 Ω, TC = +2 mV/°C - less stable at low current. | Acceptable for general-purpose 3.3 V biasing but unsuitable for sub-1 µA precision references. | Select only when cost sensitivity outweighs drift/noise requirements and 3.3 V suffices. |
| BZX55C3V9 | Zener voltage 3.9 V (±5%), ZZT = 90 Ω at 5 mA, but IR = 1 µA at 1 V - 10× higher leakage than HZ4BLLTD-E. | Functional in power supply feedback loops but degrades high-Z sensor interfaces due to leakage-induced offset. | Prefer only in non-critical, higher-current (>1 mA) regulation where leakage is not a factor. |
Compared with 1N5226BRLG and BZX55C3V9, the HZ4BLLTD-E provides superior low-current stability (0.5 µA IZK), lower noise, and near-zero TC - making it uniquely suited for battery-operated precision analog systems where reference integrity dominates power or cost constraints.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage of the HZ4BLLTD-E and its tolerance range?
The HZ4BLLTD-E has a nominal zener voltage of 3.9 V, with a guaranteed range of 3.7 V to 4.1 V at IZ = 0.5 mA. This ±0.2 V tolerance supports precision biasing in analog circuits where tight DC reference stability is required without post-manufacturing trimming. The HZ4BLLTD-E achieves this via a hard-knee Zener structure optimized for low-current operation.
Does the HZ4BLLTD-E support operation at very low reverse currents, and what is its minimum specified test current?
Yes, the HZ4BLLTD-E is characterized down to 1 nA and specifies IZK (knee current) ≤ 0.5 µA - enabling stable regulation in ultra-low-power applications such as energy-harvesting sensors and wake-up ADC references. Its semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ behavior remains linear from 1 nA to 1 mA, a key differentiator from standard Zeners. This capability is intrinsic to the HZ4BLLTD-E's planar silicon process.
What is the dynamic impedance of the HZ4BLLTD-E, and why does it matter for reference stability?
The HZ4BLLTD-E has a typical dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 370 Ω at IZT = 2.0 mA. This value determines how much the output voltage shifts under varying load current - lower ZZT means better regulation. At 370 Ω, the HZ4BLLTD-E delivers <0.74 mV shift per 2 µA load change, critical for maintaining ADC reference accuracy in noisy or dynamically loaded systems. This spec is measured and guaranteed for the HZ4BLLTD-E.
Is the HZ4BLLTD-E RoHS compliant and suitable for industrial temperature ranges?
Yes, the HZ4BLLTD-E meets RoHS Directive requirements and is rated for operation across –55°C to +175°C storage and 0°C to +70°C ambient operating range. Its junction temperature limit is 175°C, and its temperature coefficient of –0.02 mV/°C ensures minimal drift in industrial environments. Renesas documents confirm this compliance and rating for the HZ4BLLTD-E in the REJ03G0183-0300 datasheet.
How is the cathode identified on the HZ4BLLTD-E DO-35 package?
The cathode of the HZ4BLLTD-E is marked by a navy blue band on the glass DO-35 body, consistent with Renesas' HZ-LL Series packaging standard. Pin 1 (cathode) is the lead adjacent to this band; Pin 2 (anode) is the opposite lead. The body color is verdure (greenish), and mechanical dimensions match JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A - all confirmed for the HZ4BLLTD-E in the official Renesas datasheet.
