Product details
Overview
HZ5BLLTA-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications at low current (IZ = 0.5 mA), with nominal Zener voltage 4.6–5.0 V, dynamic impedance 380 Ω (typ.), and temperature coefficient –0.02 to –0.05 mV/°C. It is used in precision analog front-ends, sensor biasing, and low-power voltage regulation where stable knee behavior below 1 mA is critical.
For engineers reviewing the HZ5BLLTA-E datasheet, HZ5BLLTA-E pinout, HZ5BLLTA-E application, or HZ5BLLTA-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its sharp breakdown knee at IZ = 0.001–0.5 mA, low noise in sub-100 nA reverse current range, DO-35 package compatibility, and suitability for battery-powered instrumentation requiring minimal quiescent current.
Technical Context
The HZ5BLLTA-E employs a planar diffusion structure to achieve semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity from 1 nA to 1 mA, enabling stable reference operation far below conventional Zener test currents. Its hard-knee characteristic minimizes voltage hysteresis during low-current transitions.
Designed for low-noise operation, it delivers ∆VZ1 ≤ 0.5 V (between 0.05 mA and 0.5 mA) and ∆VZ2 ≤ 0.6 V (between 0.001 mA and 0.05 mA), with typical ZZK = 50 Ω at IZK = 0.5 µA - confirming superior low-current impedance over standard Zeners.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.6–5.0 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable reference point for low-current bias networks |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 380 Ω typ. at IZT = 3.0 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤100 nA at VR = 1.0 V - enables ultra-low leakage in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | –0.02 to –0.05 mV/°C - supports <±1 mV drift over –25°C to +75°C ambient |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 250 mW max at Ta = 25°C - constrains maximum continuous bias current to ~50 mA at 5 V |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - allows operation in sealed enclosures or near heat sources without derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), glass axial leaded, 2.0 mm diameter × 26.0 mm length, cathode identified by navy-blue band. Mass: 0.13 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener voltage reference node | Connected to regulated output or bias point; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return | Typically tied to system ground or current-sink node; establishes reverse-bias condition |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hard-knee breakdown | VZ linearity maintained down to IZ = 1 nA - eliminates soft turn-on error in micropower references |
| Low dynamic impedance at low IZ | ZZK = 50 Ω max at IZK = 0.5 µA - improves regulation stability in nanoampere-biased circuits |
| Ultra-low noise | Approximately 1/10 lower than standard Zeners in 1 nA–1 mA range - reduces RMS noise in precision ADC references |
| Negative temperature coefficient | γZ = –0.02 to –0.05 mV/°C - enables predictable, compensatable drift in unregulated environments |
Applications
| Portable Gas Sensor Biasing | Medical Pulse Oximeter Front-End |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Provides stable 4.8 V bias to electrochemical gas sensor electrodes in battery-operated handheld detectors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-current Zener reference replacing higher-power shunt regulators to extend 200 mAh coin-cell life beyond 12 months.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C4V7 (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 4.7 V ±5%, ZZT = 70 Ω at 5 mA, no guaranteed low-IZ linearity or ZZK spec | Higher power dissipation (500 mW), less suitable for <100 µA bias networks | Prefer when higher test current and lower impedance at 5 mA are required; not recommended for nanoampere operation |
| MMSZ4704T1G (ON Semiconductor) | SOD-123 package, VZ = 4.7 V ±5%, ZZT = 90 Ω at 5 mA, IR = 1 µA at 3.76 V | Surface-mount only; lacks documented hard-knee performance below 10 µA | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where DO-35 axial leads are impractical; verify knee sharpness per lot |
Compared with BZX55C4V7 and MMSZ4704T1G, the HZ5BLLTA-E uniquely guarantees hard-knee behavior and low ZZK down to 0.5 µA - making it the only option among the three validated for stable reference operation in sub-microampere analog bias circuits.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed Zener voltage tolerance for HZ5BLLTA-E at 0.5 mA?
The HZ5BLLTA-E has a specified Zener voltage range of 4.6 V to 5.0 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA, representing a ±4.3% tolerance centered on 4.8 V. This tolerance is verified per Renesas REJ03G0183-0300 Rev.3.00 and applies to all units shipped under this part number. The HZ5BLLTA-E does not specify tighter binning or extended tolerance grades.
Does HZ5BLLTA-E support operation below 1 µA reverse current?
Yes - the HZ5BLLTA-E exhibits semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity down to 1 nA, with documented ∆VZ2 ≤ 0.6 V between 0.001 mA and 0.05 mA. Its ZZK = 50 Ω (max) at IZK = 0.5 µA confirms usable regulation even in nanoampere-biased circuits, unlike standard Zeners that lose regulation below 10 µA. This behavior is intrinsic to the HZ5BLLTA-E's planar diffusion process.
Is HZ5BLLTA-E RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the HZ5BLLTA-E meets EU RoHS Directive requirements and is manufactured as a lead-free device. Renesas confirms compliance in its environmental documentation and product change notices. The DO-35 glass package contains no restricted substances above threshold limits, and the HZ5BLLTA-E carries the appropriate RoHS marking per JEDEC standards.
Can HZ5BLLTA-E replace standard 4.7 V Zeners like 1N4732A in existing designs?
The HZ5BLLTA-E is not a direct drop-in replacement for 1N4732A due to differences in test current (0.5 mA vs. 20 mA), dynamic impedance (380 Ω vs. 14 Ω), and thermal characteristics. While both provide ~4.7 V, the HZ5BLLTA-E excels only in low-current, low-noise roles; substituting it into a 20 mA shunt regulator risks insufficient regulation. Use HZ5BLLTA-E only where design explicitly targets sub-100 µA operation.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous operation of HZ5BLLTA-E at full 250 mW dissipation?
The HZ5BLLTA-E must be operated below 25°C ambient temperature to sustain full 250 mW power dissipation continuously, per its derating curve in Figure 3 of REJ03G0183-0300. At 70°C ambient, maximum allowable Pd drops to ~150 mW. This limitation arises from the DO-35 package's thermal resistance (θJA ≈ 500°C/W); exceeding it risks junction temperature exceeding 175°C and permanent degradation of the HZ5BLLTA-E.
