Product details
Overview
HZ6A2L-JRE from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage reference and stabilization in precision analog circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 5.45 V (min 5.3 V, max 5.6 V), 400 mW power dissipation, 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 0.5 mA test current, and DO-35 glass package. It serves in low-drift bandgap reference buffers and noise-sensitive instrumentation power rails.
For engineers reviewing the HZ6A2L-JRE datasheet, HZ6A2L-JRE pinout, HZ6A2L-JRE application, or HZ6A2L-JRE equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±3.5% at 5.45 V), temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C typical), low leakage (<1 μA at 2.0 V), and suitability for low-noise DC biasing in op-amp references and sensor signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The HZ6A2L-JRE employs a silicon planar junction structure with controlled doping to achieve reduced thermal noise and stable zener breakdown characteristics. Its low dynamic resistance (80 Ω) and tight voltage tolerance stem from process-trimmed diffusion and post-fabrication screening across the HZ-L series.
This device operates exclusively in reverse-bias zener mode with DC test conditions specified; it is not rated for surge or transient suppression. The −0.04 %/°C temperature coefficient enables predictable drift compensation in multi-stage reference designs where adjacent components share thermal coupling.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ6A2L-JRE at 0.5 mA test current?
The HZ6A2L-JRE has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 5.3 V to 5.6 V when measured at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This ±3.5% tolerance reflects factory binning for precision reference use. The nominal value is 5.45 V, and the HZ6A2L-JRE datasheet specifies no deviation beyond these limits under DC test conditions.
Is HZ6A2L-JRE suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, the HZ6A2L-JRE uses a DO-35 axial glass package with leads intended for through-hole mounting. It is not compatible with reflow or wave soldering processes designed for SMT components. The JEITA package code GRZZ0002ZB-A and Renesas documentation confirm its DO-35 mechanical form factor, and no SMT variant of HZ6A2L-JRE exists in the HZ-L family.
How does the noise performance of HZ6A2L-JRE compare to standard Zener diodes?
The HZ6A2L-JRE exhibits approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of conventional HZ-series Zeners due to optimized planar junction processing and low-leakage design. This reduction is verified in Renesas' characterization data and directly benefits low-frequency applications such as sensor excitation and high-resolution ADC references where broadband noise impacts effective resolution. The HZ6A2L-JRE achieves this without sacrificing voltage stability or power handling.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current before exceeding HZ6A2L-JRE's power rating?
At Ta = 25°C, the HZ6A2L-JRE's 400 mW power dissipation limit corresponds to a maximum reverse current of ≈74 mA when regulating at 5.45 V (P = V × I → I = 400 mW / 5.45 V). However, the datasheet specifies test conditions up to 0.5 mA for parameter characterization, and sustained operation above 10 mA requires thermal derating per Figure 3 in the HZ6A2L-JRE datasheet to maintain Tj ≤ 175°C.
Does HZ6A2L-JRE have a specified zener voltage temperature coefficient?
Yes, the HZ6A2L-JRE has a typical zener voltage temperature coefficient (γZ) of −0.04 %/°C, as shown in Figure 2 of the official Renesas datasheet REJ03G0182-0300. This negative coefficient is consistent across the 5.2–6.4 V subgroup of the HZ-L series and enables predictable drift modeling in reference designs. The HZ6A2L-JRE's coefficient is tighter and more linear than standard Zeners in the same voltage range.
