Product details
Overview
HZ7C1-90TA 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 7.4 V (min 7.2 V / max 7.6 V), dynamic resistance of 60 Ω at 3.5 mA, and 400 mW power dissipation in DO-35 package. It serves as a stable shunt reference in low-drift power supply feedback loops and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the HZ7C1-90TA datasheet, HZ7C1-90TA pinout, HZ7C1-90TA application, or HZ7C1-90TA equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.2 V), temperature coefficient (−0.02 %/°C near 7.4 V), low noise performance (1/3–1/10 that of legacy HZ series), and DO-35 thermal derating behavior up to 175°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator with DC-tested zener characteristics: breakdown occurs at 7.2–7.6 V with 3.5 mA test current, exhibiting low dynamic impedance (60 Ω) and minimal leakage (<1 μA at 5.0 V). Its silicon planar construction ensures reproducible breakdown and tight parametric distribution across production lots.
The HZ7C1-90TA belongs to the HZ-L Series distinguished by reduced diode noise-critical for high-resolution ADC references and low-phase-noise oscillator biasing-and specified absolute maximum ratings include 400 mW power dissipation and 175°C junction temperature, enabling use in thermally constrained industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.2 V min / 7.6 V max at IZ = 3.5 mA - defines stable regulation range for feedback networks requiring ±0.2 V tolerance |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 60 Ω max at IZ = 3.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients in reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with adequate copper area |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 5.0 V - prevents error injection in high-impedance bias nodes and sensor interfaces |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55°C to +175°C - enables deployment in automotive under-hood or industrial motor control ambient conditions |
| Noise Performance | ≈1/3–1/10 of standard HZ-series diodes - directly improves SNR in precision instrumentation amplifier references |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A, Renesas code SC-40), glass axial leaded package with orange body and navy-blue cathode band; mass ≈0.13 g; dimensions L = 26.0 mm, φD = 2.0 mm, E = 4.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Regulated output node | Connected to positive rail in shunt configuration; carries full load current during regulation |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground node | Biased to system ground or virtual ground; establishes zener conduction path when Vin > VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener structure | Diode noise reduced to 10–33% of legacy HZ series - critical for sub-16-bit data acquisition systems |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±0.2 V at 7.4 V nominal - eliminates need for post-regulation trimming in factory-calibrated instruments |
| Stable temperature coefficient | −0.02 %/°C near 7.4 V (Fig.2) - minimizes drift over −40°C to +85°C operating range |
| High power density | 400 mW in DO-35 package - delivers higher regulation headroom than SOD-123 alternatives at same footprint |
| Low leakage current | <1 μA at 5.0 V reverse bias - preserves accuracy in nanoampere-level sensor biasing applications |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Reference | High-Resolution ADC Biasing |

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 MMBZ5233BLT1G | Zener voltage 6.8 V (±5%), rd = 10 Ω, Pd = 300 mW, SOT-23 package | Lower voltage, surface-mount only, higher power density but no DO-35 through-hole option | Select when board space is constrained and 6.8 V suffices; verify thermal relief on PCB for 300 mW derating |
| Vishay NZ9F7V5T5G | Zener voltage 7.5 V (±5%), rd = 40 Ω, Pd = 200 mW, SOD-123 package | Higher nominal voltage, tighter dynamic resistance, but halved power rating and different thermal profile | Prefer for ultra-low-impedance needs below 7.5 V; confirm ambient temperature does not exceed 70°C to sustain 200 mW |
Compared with MMBZ5233BLT1G and NZ9F7V5T5G, the HZ7C1-90TA offers superior noise performance and higher power handling in through-hole DO-35 form, making it optimal for legacy industrial designs and high-stability analog signal chains where thermal margin and long-term drift matter more than footprint size.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of HZ7C1-90TA?
The HZ7C1-90TA has a zener voltage range of 7.2 V minimum to 7.6 V maximum at 3.5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±0.2 V absolute tolerance. This tight spread eliminates post-assembly calibration in many industrial reference designs and is confirmed in the Renesas REJ03G0182-0300 datasheet, Page 2.
Does HZ7C1-90TA support high-temperature operation?
Yes, HZ7C1-90TA is rated for junction temperatures up to +175°C and storage temperatures from −55°C to +175°C. Its DO-35 package and silicon planar construction enable reliable operation in under-hood automotive or industrial motor drive environments where ambient temperatures exceed 100°C.
How does the noise performance of HZ7C1-90TA compare to standard Zener diodes?
HZ7C1-90TA achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of legacy HZ-series Zener diodes, as stated in the "Features" section of the Renesas datasheet. This reduction directly improves signal-to-noise ratio in precision ADC references and low-phase-noise oscillator bias networks.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZ7C1-90TA?
The maximum reverse leakage current for HZ7C1-90TA is 1 μA at 5.0 V reverse voltage (VR), per the Electrical Characteristics table on Page 2 of the REJ03G0182-0300 datasheet. This low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias circuits such as op-amp offset nulling networks.
Is HZ7C1-90TA available in surface-mount packages?
No, HZ7C1-90TA is exclusively offered in the DO-35 axial leaded glass package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A). Renesas does not list any SMT variant for this specific part number; alternative low-noise Zeners like MMBZ5233BLT1G exist but differ in voltage, power, and package.
