Product details
Overview
HZ7A2LTD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage reference and stabilization in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 6.5 V (min 6.4 V / max 6.7 V), dynamic resistance of 60 Ω at 3.5 mA, and maximum power dissipation of 400 mW in a DO-35 package. It is used in low-drift bandgap reference buffers, sensor signal conditioning front-ends, and regulated power supply feedback paths where noise sensitivity is critical.
For engineers reviewing the HZ7A2LTD-E datasheet, HZ7A2LTD-E pinout, HZ7A2LTD-E application, or HZ7A2LTD-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 Ω zener impedance at 3.5 mA, −0.04 %/°C temperature coefficient near 6.5 V, 1 μA reverse leakage at 4 V, and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole PCB layouts requiring stable low-noise references.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused silicon junction. Its low-noise performance stems from optimized doping profile and passivation, achieving diode noise ~1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ-series Zeners. The 6.5 V nominal zener point falls in the region of minimum temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C), enabling stable operation across −55°C to +175°C junction range.
Designed for DC-biased applications only (per datasheet Note 1), it requires external current limiting and exhibits no transient response specification. Its 400 mW power rating is derated linearly above 25°C ambient per Fig.3, reaching zero dissipation at ~125°C on standard FR-4 PCB with 10 mm lead length.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.4 V min / 6.7 V max at IZ = 3.5 mA - defines tight 6.5 V nominal regulation point with ±0.15 V tolerance for precision biasing |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 60 Ω max at IZ = 3.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients in reference circuits |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 4 V - enables high-impedance sensing nodes without significant error current injection |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW max at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact through-hole designs with adequate PCB copper area |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C typical near 6.5 V - minimizes drift in temperature-sensitive instrumentation and calibration systems |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments when properly heatsinked via leads |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), glass axial-leaded, orange body with navy-blue cathode band. 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) | High-potential terminal during reverse breakdown | Connected to regulated output node; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction and loss of regulation |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-potential terminal during reverse breakdown | Typically tied to ground or common return; serves as current sink path for zener bias current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise performance | Diode noise reduced to ~1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series - directly improves SNR in precision ADC references and op-amp bias networks |
| Low zener impedance | 60 Ω max at 3.5 mA - maintains regulation accuracy under varying load currents in feedback loops |
| Stable temperature coefficient | −0.04 %/°C near 6.5 V - reduces thermal drift in battery-powered sensors and portable test equipment |
| High reliability construction | Planar silicon process with glass passivation - ensures long-term stability and low parameter shift in industrial deployments |

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 MMBZ5231BS | 6.2 V nominal, 100 Ω rd, SOD-123 package, 200 mW Pd | Surface-mount only; higher impedance limits use in high-accuracy feedback loops | Select when board space is constrained and ±5 % VZ tolerance is acceptable |
| Vishay BZX55C6V2 | 6.2 V nominal, 100 Ω rd, DO-35 package, 500 mW Pd, higher noise | Same axial package but lacks low-noise optimization; wider VZ tolerance (±5 %) | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where noise < −100 dBc/Hz is not required |
Compared with HZ7A2LTD-E, MMBZ5231BS offers SMT compatibility but sacrifices 40 % lower dynamic resistance and 3× higher noise; BZX55C6V2 matches DO-35 form factor but trades 67 % higher impedance and uncontrolled noise performance for higher power rating.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ7A2LTD-E at 3.5 mA test current?
The HZ7A2LTD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 6.4 V minimum to 6.7 V maximum when tested at IZ = 3.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 0.3 V span reflects tight process control for precision reference use, and the nominal value is 6.5 V. The device is not binned beyond this specification, and all units meet this range as shipped.
Does HZ7A2LTD-E support AC-coupled or transient applications?
No - the HZ7A2LTD-E is specified for DC operation only, as explicitly stated in the datasheet Note 1 ("Tested with DC"). It has no rated transient response, surge capability, or AC impedance specifications. Using HZ7A2LTD-E in AC-coupled circuits risks unpredictable behavior due to junction capacitance and lack of characterization under dynamic conditions.
How does the temperature coefficient of HZ7A2LTD-E compare to other 6.2 V Zeners?
HZ7A2LTD-E exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of −0.04 %/°C near its 6.5 V operating point, which is significantly tighter than standard 6.2 V Zeners like BZX55C6V2 (±0.06 %/°C). This improved stability results from process tuning to operate near the zero-TC crossover voltage, making HZ7A2LTD-E preferable in temperature-varying environments where reference drift must stay below 100 ppm/°C.
Can HZ7A2LTD-E be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - HZ7A2LTD-E must not be paralleled due to mismatch in zener voltage and dynamic resistance between units, which causes current hogging and thermal runaway. Its 400 mW rating is absolute maximum for a single device. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or switch to an active reference IC; paralleling HZ7A2LTD-E violates Renesas' application guidance and voids parametric guarantees.
Is HZ7A2LTD-E compliant with RoHS and REACH requirements?
Yes - HZ7A2LTD-E meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, as confirmed by Renesas' material declarations and compliance documentation. The DO-35 package uses lead-free glass and tin-plated copper leads, with no restricted substances above threshold limits. Full compliance reports are available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
