Product details
Overview
HZ5ALLTA-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 a nominal Zener voltage of 4.5 V (min 4.3 V, max 4.7 V), dynamic impedance of 380 Ω at IZT = 3.0 mA, and temperature coefficient of –0.02 mV/°C - used in precision analog front-ends and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZ5ALLTA-E datasheet, HZ5ALLTA-E pinout, HZ5ALLTA-E application, or HZ5ALLTA-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its sharp breakdown knee at sub-mA currents, ultra-low noise performance (~1/10 that of standard Zeners), DO-35 package compatibility, and suitability for stable low-power reference design where thermal drift and dynamic impedance directly impact ADC accuracy and signal integrity.
Technical Context
The HZ5ALLTA-E employs a planar diffusion structure enabling semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity across 1 nA–1 mA, delivering sharper knee characteristics than conventional Zeners. Its low dynamic impedance (380 Ω typ. at 3 mA) and minimal temperature coefficient (–0.02 mV/°C) stem from optimized doping profiles and junction geometry.
This device operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode only, with specified absolute maximum ratings including 250 mW power dissipation and 175°C junction temperature. It is not intended for surge suppression or transient clamping - its design targets stable DC reference generation under low-current, low-noise conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.3 V min / 4.7 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines tight 4.5 V ±0.2 V reference window for low-drift bias networks. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 380 Ω typical at IZT = 3.0 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current shifts in reference buffers. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤100 nA at VR = 1.0 V - enables ultra-low leakage in high-impedance sensing nodes and battery-powered references. |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | –0.02 mV/°C - contributes <±0.3 mV drift over 0–70°C ambient, critical for 12-bit+ system accuracy. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 250 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous bias current limit (~55 mA at 4.5 V) before thermal derating applies. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C maximum - supports operation in industrial environments with adequate PCB copper thermal relief. |
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. Dimensions: φD = 2.0 mm max, L = 26.0 mm min, E = 4.2 mm, mass ≈ 0.13 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Reverse-bias terminal | Connected to higher potential node; polarity must be observed to maintain Zener conduction - reversal causes forward conduction and invalidates regulation. |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground node | Serves as circuit common for bias current return path; low-impedance connection required to minimize noise coupling into reference output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hard-knee breakdown | VZ–IZ curve exhibits sharp transition at ~0.05 mA, enabling stable regulation even when bias current varies widely across sleep/wake cycles. |
| Low-noise operation | Approximately 1/10 the noise of standard Zener diodes in 10 Hz–10 kHz band - directly improves SNR in precision instrumentation amplifiers. |
| Semi-logarithmic linearity | Linear ∆VZ vs log(IZ) from 1 nA to 1 mA - allows accurate extrapolation of VZ at microamp-level bias currents used in ultra-low-power sensors. |
| Low temperature coefficient | –0.02 mV/°C (≈ –4.4 ppm/°C at 4.5 V) - reduces calibration burden in unheated industrial modules operating across –40°C to +85°C. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Biasing | Precision ADC Reference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 5.1 V ±5%, ZZT = 7 Ω at 49 mA, TC ≈ +2 mV/°C - higher voltage, higher current, positive TC, significantly noisier. | Designed for general-purpose regulation at ≥10 mA; unsuitable for low-current, low-noise, or tight-TC applications. | Select only if system requires 5.1 V and can support ≥250 mW dissipation with active cooling. |
| BZX84-C4V3 (Diodes Inc.) | Zener voltage 4.3 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, ZZT = 90 Ω at 5 mA, TC ≈ –2.5 mV/°C - smaller footprint but higher TC and noise than HZ5ALLTA-E. | Targeted at space-constrained consumer electronics; lacks hard-knee linearity and sub-µA stability of HZ-LL series. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, non-precision designs where board area is critical and thermal drift <±10 mV is tolerable. |
Compared with 1N4733A and BZX84-C4V3, the HZ5ALLTA-E delivers uniquely low noise, hard-knee behavior at nanoamp currents, and ultra-low TC - making it irreplaceable in high-resolution sensor interfaces and battery-critical reference designs where those parameters dominate system accuracy and runtime.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of HZ5ALLTA-E?
The HZ5ALLTA-E has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 4.3 V to 4.7 V at IZ = 0.5 mA, corresponding to a nominal 4.5 V ±0.2 V tolerance. This tight 4.4% window supports high-accuracy voltage referencing without post-manufacturing trimming. The HZ5ALLTA-E achieves this via controlled planar diffusion and laser-trimmed process consistency, ensuring batch-to-batch repeatability critical for calibrated instrumentation.
Does HZ5ALLTA-E support operation below 1 µA bias current?
Yes - the HZ5ALLTA-E maintains defined Zener characteristics down to 1 nA reverse current, with documented linearity and low noise performance across the full 1 nA–1 mA range. Its semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ behavior ensures predictable voltage output even at nanoamp levels, making HZ5ALLTA-E ideal for ultra-low-power wake-on-event sensor nodes where average current must remain sub-µA.
Is HZ5ALLTA-E RoHS compliant?
Yes, HZ5ALLTA-E complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and subsequent amendments. Renesas confirms lead-free construction, halogen-free molding compound, and full substance declaration per IPC-1752. The DO-35 package uses matte tin-plated leads, and all materials meet JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements for standard handling.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous operation of HZ5ALLTA-E?
The HZ5ALLTA-E is rated for continuous operation up to 125°C ambient temperature when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB with 1 cm² of 1 oz copper pour acting as a thermal pad. Derating begins above 25°C per Figure 3 in the datasheet: at 100°C ambient, maximum power dissipation drops to ~120 mW. The junction temperature must not exceed 175°C - verified using θJA ≈ 500°C/W for DO-35 in still air.
Can HZ5ALLTA-E replace standard Zener diodes like 1N4733A in existing designs?
No - HZ5ALLTA-E is not a drop-in replacement for 1N4733A due to fundamental differences: 4.5 V vs 5.1 V nominal voltage, 380 Ω vs 7 Ω dynamic impedance, and operation optimized for µA–mA rather than 49 mA test current. Substituting HZ5ALLTA-E without circuit re-biasing will cause regulation failure. Use HZ5ALLTA-E only in new designs targeting its specific low-noise, low-current, low-TC advantages.
