Product details
Overview
HZ5BLL90TA from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 9.0 V ±5%, 400 mW power dissipation, dynamic resistance of 60 Ω at 0.5 mA test current, and operating junction temperature up to 175°C. It is used in stabilized reference supplies for instrumentation amplifiers and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the HZ5BLL90TA datasheet, HZ5BLL90TA pinout, HZ5BLL90TA application, or HZ5BLL90TA equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, low noise performance versus standard HZ series, thermal stability across −55°C to +175°C storage range, and DO-35 package compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference where reverse-biased conduction establishes a stable breakdown voltage. Its low-noise design reduces RMS noise by approximately 70–90% compared to legacy HZ-series diodes, achieved via optimized silicon planar junction processing and controlled doping profiles.
Electrical behavior is defined under DC test conditions: zener voltage measured at IZ = 0.5 mA, dynamic resistance derived at IZ = 1 mA, and reverse leakage capped at 1 μA when VR ≤ 2.0 V. Temperature coefficient is −0.04 %/°C (−40 mV/°C) near 9.0 V, confirmed in Figure 2 of REJ03G0182-0300.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.55 V to 9.45 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - tight 5% tolerance enables accurate reference generation without post-calibration. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 60 Ω max at IZ = 1 mA - low impedance ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB footprints with adequate copper area. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C maximum - allows reliable use in high-ambient industrial environments without derating below 125°C ambient. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 2.0 V - low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C (−40 mV/°C) - predictable drift enables compensation in temperature-critical references. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), orange body color, navy blue cathode band. Mass: 0.13 g. Dimensions per Page 5: φD = 2.0 mm, E = 4.2 mm, L = 26.0 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side terminal in reverse-bias configuration | Connected to regulated positive rail; polarity marking critical for correct orientation in series-shunt regulator topologies. |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side terminal referenced to ground or common | Provides return path for zener current; must be routed with low-inductance trace to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Noise reduction vs. HZ series | Approximately 70–90% lower RMS noise - directly improves SNR in precision ADC reference buffers and low-level op-amp biasing. |
| Zener voltage range coverage | 5.2 V to 38 V in discrete variants - enables single-family sourcing across multiple supply rail requirements without redesign. |
| Low zener impedance | 60 Ω max at 1 mA - maintains regulation accuracy under varying load currents typical in sensor excitation circuits. |
| Wide operating temperature range | −55°C to +175°C storage, 175°C max junction - supports deployment in automotive engine control modules and industrial motor drives. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5240BLT1G | Zener voltage 10 V ±5%, 350 mW Pd, rd = 17 Ω @ 20 mA - higher test current, lower rd, but higher noise and no documented low-noise optimization. | Used in general-purpose power supply regulation; lacks published noise spec vs. HZ-L series. | Select when lower dynamic resistance at high current is prioritized over low-noise performance in sensor interfaces. |
| Vishay BZX84-C9V1 | Zener voltage 9.1 V ±5%, 300 mW Pd, rd = 60 Ω @ 5 mA - same dynamic resistance spec but rated at higher test current; no low-noise characterization provided. | Common in consumer-grade voltage clamping; not qualified for precision analog reference use per datasheet. | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-precision applications where noise floor is not a system specification. |
Compared with MMBZ5240BLT1G and BZX84-C9V1, the HZ5BLL90TA delivers verified low-noise operation essential for metrology-grade references, while maintaining identical DO-35 footprint and compatible 9.0 V nominal voltage - making it the sole option among the three qualified for noise-critical analog subsystems.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for HZ5BLL90TA?
The HZ5BLL90TA has a specified zener voltage range of 8.55 V to 9.45 V at IZ = 0.5 mA, corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the nominal 9.0 V rating. This tolerance is verified per REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00, Page 2, under "Electrical Characteristics" for part numbers ending in "-2L", including HZ5BLL90TA.
Does HZ5BLL90TA have a documented noise performance specification?
Yes - the HZ-L Series datasheet states that its diode noise level is "approximately 1/3–1/10 lower than the HZ series", confirmed in the Features section on Page 1 of REJ03G0182-0300. This low-noise characteristic is intrinsic to the silicon planar process and distinguishes HZ5BLL90TA from generic Zener diodes.
Is HZ5BLL90TA compatible with standard DO-35 footprint layouts?
Yes - HZ5BLL90TA uses the DO-35 package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A) with mechanical dimensions matching industry-standard DO-35: body diameter 2.0 mm, overall length 26.0 mm, and lead spacing 4.2 mm. These values are explicitly listed in the Package Dimensions table on Page 5 of the official Renesas datasheet.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current before breakdown in HZ5BLL90TA?
The HZ5BLL90TA exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 μA when reverse voltage (VR) is held at 2.0 V, as specified in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on Page 2 of REJ03G0182-0300. This parameter ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance reference divider networks.
Can HZ5BLL90TA operate reliably at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes - HZ5BLL90TA supports continuous operation up to a junction temperature of 175°C and storage from −55°C to +175°C. Its power derating curve (Figure 3, Page 4) confirms usable dissipation above 100°C ambient when mounted on standard FR-4 with minimum copper area, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications.
