Product details
Overview
HZ7C1LTD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 7.2–7.6 V at 0.5 mA test current, 60 Ω dynamic impedance, and 400 mW power dissipation in a DO-35 package. It serves as a stable reference in low-drift power supplies, sensor biasing networks, and noise-sensitive instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the HZ7C1LTD-E datasheet, HZ7C1LTD-E pinout, HZ7C1LTD-E application, or HZ7C1LTD-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.4 V), temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C typical), low leakage (<1 μA at VR = 5.0 V), and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a silicon planar junction structure. Its low-noise performance stems from reduced generation-recombination noise versus standard HZ-series diodes-approximately 1/3 to 1/10 lower-achieved via optimized doping and junction geometry.
The HZ7C1LTD-E maintains stable regulation across −55°C to +175°C storage range and up to 175°C junction temperature, with a negative temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C) that enables predictable drift compensation in multi-diode reference strings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.2–7.6 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable reference point for feedback loops and analog thresholds |

| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW - supports continuous operation in compact PCB footprints without forced cooling |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 μA at VR = 5.0 V - minimizes error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C typical - enables predictable thermal drift modeling in precision designs |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - allows reliable operation in industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side reference node | Connected to regulated output or op-amp inverting input; polarity critical for correct biasing |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side return path | Typically tied to ground or common reference plane; establishes forward voltage drop direction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A | Zener voltage 5.1 V, 100 Ω rd, 1 W Pd, DO-41 package | Higher power but higher impedance and noise; unsuitable for low-current, low-noise designs | Select only if ≥5.1 V reference and >500 mW dissipation are required; not a direct substitute for HZ7C1LTD-E's 7.5 V/60 Ω/low-noise profile |
| BZX55C7V5 | Zener voltage 7.5 V ±5%, 80 Ω rd, 500 mW Pd, DO-35 package | Wider VZ tolerance (±5% vs. ±0.4 V), higher rd, no published noise spec | Acceptable for general-purpose regulation where noise and tight tolerance are non-critical; requires layout verification due to identical DO-35 footprint |
Compared with 1N4733A and BZX55C7V5, the HZ7C1LTD-E delivers superior low-noise performance and tighter voltage tolerance in the 7.5 V class, making it preferred for precision analog signal chains-though its 400 mW rating requires careful thermal management in high-current applications.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ7C1LTD-E at 0.5 mA test current?
The HZ7C1LTD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 7.2 V to 7.6 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA, per Renesas datasheet REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00. This ±0.4 V tolerance enables predictable reference design without post-manufacturing trimming. The HZ7C1LTD-E achieves this specification using silicon planar junction technology with controlled doping profiles.
Does HZ7C1LTD-E have a documented noise performance advantage over standard Zener diodes?
Yes-the HZ7C1LTD-E exhibits approximately 1/3 to 1/10 lower diode noise than the legacy HZ series, as confirmed in the Renesas HZ-L Series datasheet. This reduction results from optimized junction geometry and carrier lifetime control. For low-noise applications like sensor signal conditioning or audio biasing, the HZ7C1LTD-E provides measurably improved signal-to-noise ratio compared to generic Zeners such as 1N4733A or BZX55C7V5.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal limit for HZ7C1LTD-E?
The HZ7C1LTD-E has a maximum power dissipation (Pd) of 400 mW at Ta = 25°C, with absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) rated at 175°C. Derating is required above 25°C ambient per the published power vs. temperature curve (Fig.3). The HZ7C1LTD-E's DO-35 package relies on PCB copper area for heat spreading; exceeding 400 mW risks irreversible thermal runaway or parameter shift.
Is HZ7C1LTD-E compatible with standard DO-35 footprint and soldering processes?
Yes-the HZ7C1LTD-E uses the JEITA-standard DO-35 package (code GRZZ0002ZB-A), with 2.0 mm body diameter, 26.0 mm length, and 4.2 mm lead spacing. It is compatible with standard through-hole reflow and wave-soldering profiles for glass-axial components. The cathode band is navy blue, and the body color is orange-matching industry visual identification conventions for Zener polarity and voltage grade.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for HZ7C1LTD-E at 5.0 V reverse bias?
The HZ7C1LTD-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA at VR = 5.0 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage supports high-impedance reference nodes in battery-powered instrumentation and precision ADC circuits where input bias current must be minimized. The HZ7C1LTD-E achieves this via tight process control of surface passivation and bulk defect density in the silicon planar junction.
