Product details
Overview
HZ9A1LTA-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 7.7–8.1 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 6.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 0.5 mA test current, and DO-35 glass package with navy-blue cathode band. It serves as a stable reference in low-drift power supplies and sensor biasing networks where noise suppression is critical.
For engineers reviewing the HZ9A1LTA-E datasheet, HZ9A1LTA-E pinout, HZ9A1LTA-E application, or HZ9A1LTA-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its verified low-noise performance (≈1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series), tight zener voltage tolerance, temperature coefficient behavior below ±0.06 %/°C in this voltage range, and suitability for space-constrained through-hole designs requiring stable DC reference under varying thermal conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a silicon planar junction. Its low dynamic resistance (6.0 Ω) and low leakage (<1 μA at VR = 2.0 V) enable high regulation accuracy in low-current applications such as op-amp reference inputs and ADC voltage references.
The HZ9A1LTA-E exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient near zero - approximately −0.04 to −0.06 %/°C per the family curve - making it suitable for ambient-stable biasing where drift must remain under 0.5 mV/°C across industrial temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.7–8.1 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference level for feedback or sensing circuits |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 6.0 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW - supports continuous operation up to ~50 mA at 8 V without derating at 25°C |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V - prevents parasitic current draw in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 to +175°C - enables use in extended-temperature industrial environments with appropriate PCB thermal design |
| Noise Level | ≈1/3–1/10 of HZ-series diodes - directly reduces broadband voltage noise in sensitive analog signal chains |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial leaded package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), orange body with navy-blue cathode band. Dimensions: φD = 2.0 mm, L = 26.0 mm, E = 4.2 mm. Mass ≈ 0.13 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side terminal of reverse-biased junction | Connected to regulated positive rail; polarity critical for proper breakdown conduction |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side terminal of reverse-biased junction | Typically grounded or tied to lower potential; completes bias path for reference current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise performance | Measured noise reduced to 10–33% of legacy HZ-series diodes - critical for audio preamps and precision instrumentation |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±0.2 V window (7.7–8.1 V) at 0.5 mA - eliminates need for post-regulation trimming in many 8 V reference designs |
| Low dynamic impedance | 6.0 Ω enables <1 mV output shift per 1 mA load change - improves line/load regulation in discrete shunt regulators |
| Stable temperature coefficient | γZ ≈ −0.05 %/°C near 8 V - minimizes drift to <±0.4 mV/°C over −40 to +85°C ambient |
| Robust thermal rating | 175°C max junction temperature - supports operation in sealed enclosures or near heat-generating components |

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 (ON Semiconductor) | 8.2 V nominal, 7.74–8.66 V tolerance, 7 Ω rd, 1.0 μA IR, same DO-35 package | Higher noise, wider VZ spread, and less predictable TC - requires tighter layout filtering for low-noise use | Acceptable where cost is primary constraint and noise <−100 dBu is not required |
| BZX85C8V2 (Nexperia) | 8.2 V nominal, 7.7–8.7 V tolerance, 10 Ω rd, 100 nA IR, DO-41 package (larger footprint) | Lower leakage but higher impedance and larger thermal mass - slower transient response and incompatible board cutout | Preferred only when ultra-low leakage dominates over noise and regulation stability |
Compared with 1N4733A and BZX85C8V2, the HZ9A1LTA-E delivers superior noise performance and tighter regulation at 8 V while maintaining identical DO-35 mechanical fit - making it the optimal choice for high-fidelity analog reference paths where both spectral purity and thermal stability are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ9A1LTA-E?
The HZ9A1LTA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 7.7 V to 8.1 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 0.4 V window reflects tighter manufacturing control than standard Zener diodes and enables direct use in 8 V reference designs without external trimming or selection sorting.
Does HZ9A1LTA-E have a documented noise specification, and how does it compare to standard Zeners?
Yes - the HZ-L Series datasheet explicitly states that HZ9A1LTA-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of the legacy HZ series. This is achieved via optimized silicon planar junction processing and is confirmed across the 7.7–8.1 V range, making HZ9A1LTA-E suitable for audio, instrumentation, and sensor signal chains where broadband voltage noise must be minimized.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current before HZ9A1LTA-E exceeds its power rating?
At 25°C ambient, HZ9A1LTA-E can sustain up to 50 mA of reverse current (Pd = 400 mW ÷ 8 V ≈ 50 mA) before exceeding its 400 mW power dissipation limit. However, derating is required above 25°C per the "Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature" curve on page 4 of the datasheet - e.g., maximum IZ drops to ~35 mA at 70°C ambient.
Is HZ9A1LTA-E suitable for surface-mount assembly, or is it strictly through-hole?
HZ9A1LTA-E uses the DO-35 axial glass package with 2.0 mm diameter and 26 mm length, designed exclusively for through-hole mounting. It is not compatible with SMT reflow or wave soldering processes. For surface-mount equivalents, Renesas offers no direct SMT variant of the HZ-L Series; alternative solutions require discrete SOD-123 or SOT-23 Zener families with different noise and tolerance characteristics.
What is the cathode identification method for HZ9A1LTA-E, and why is correct polarity essential?
HZ9A1LTA-E features a navy-blue cathode band at one end of its orange glass body - pin 1 is cathode, pin 2 is anode. Correct polarity is essential because reverse biasing is required for zener operation; forward biasing will cause excessive current flow and permanent damage. Misorientation in circuit assembly results in open-circuit behavior or catastrophic failure under applied voltage.
