Product details
Overview
HZ9A2LTA-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 7.9–8.3 V, dynamic resistance of 60 Ω at 0.5 mA, and maximum power dissipation of 400 mW in a DO-35 package. It serves as a stable reference in low-drift power supplies, sensor biasing, and instrumentation front-ends where noise suppression is critical.
For engineers reviewing the HZ9A2LTA-E datasheet, HZ9A2LTA-E pinout, HZ9A2LTA-E application, or HZ9A2LTA-E equivalent, this device is selected for its verified low-noise performance (≈1/3–1/10 lower than standard HZ series), tight zener voltage tolerance, and thermal stability across industrial temperature ranges - key criteria for high-fidelity signal conditioning and calibration-critical designs.
Technical Context
The HZ9A2LTA-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, relying on controlled reverse-bias breakdown to maintain a stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its low dynamic impedance (60 Ω) and low leakage current (<1 μA at VR = 2.0 V) ensure minimal output variation during transient load shifts.
Designed for DC-stabilized operation, it exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient of approximately −0.04 %/°C near 8 V (inferred from Fig.2 curve crossing ~−0.04 %/°C at 8 V), enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. The DO-35 glass package supports manual or automated through-hole assembly with cathode band identification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.9–8.3 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference point for feedback loops and ADC references. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 60 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load current changes. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW max at Ta = 25°C - sets thermal derating limit for PCB layout and ambient temperature planning. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V - guarantees negligible error current in high-impedance reference nodes. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 to +175°C - enables operation in extended industrial environments without external heatsinking. |
| Noise Level | ≈1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series - directly reduces broadband noise contribution in sensitive analog stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A, Renesas code SC-40), axial glass body, orange body color, navy blue cathode band. Cathode terminal marked by band; anode is unmarked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Reverse-bias input / regulated output node | Connected to higher-potential rail; voltage referenced to anode; polarity critical for proper breakdown operation. |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground / return path | Serves as circuit common; must be held at lowest potential in shunt configuration to enable zener conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise zener operation | Diode noise reduced to ≈1/3–1/10 of legacy HZ series - critical for audio preamps and precision DAC references. |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±0.2 V window (7.9–8.3 V) at 0.5 mA - eliminates need for post-regulation trimming in mid-accuracy applications. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 60 Ω max - maintains <0.5% output deviation across ±1 mA load step changes in shunt regulator topology. |
| High thermal stability | Temperature coefficient centered near −0.04 %/°C at 8 V - enables predictable drift modeling for calibration algorithms. |
| Robust reliability rating | Rated for 175°C junction temperature - supports use in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial control modules. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Monitoring | Medical Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5231BLT1G | Zener voltage 5.1 V (fixed), 100 Ω rd, SOT-23 package, 350 mW Pd | Lower voltage grade; unsuitable for 8 V reference needs; surface-mount only | Select only if board redesign accommodates SMT and system requires 5.1 V reference with tighter initial tolerance (±5%). |
| Vishay BZX55C8V2 | Zener voltage 8.2 V (±5%), 70 Ω rd, DO-35 package, 500 mW Pd, higher noise than HZ-L series | Broader voltage tolerance; no documented low-noise optimization; wider TC spread (±0.06 %/°C) | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial supplies where noise <100 nV/√Hz is not required and ±5% VZ is acceptable. |
Compared with MMBZ5231BLT1G and BZX55C8V2, the HZ9A2LTA-E delivers superior noise performance and tighter VZ control within the 8 V range while maintaining DO-35 compatibility - making it the preferred choice for analog-intensive applications demanding both precision and spectral purity.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ9A2LTA-E at 0.5 mA test current?
The HZ9A2LTA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 7.9 V to 8.3 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C, as specified in the Renesas REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00 datasheet. This 0.4 V window reflects tighter binning than general-purpose Zeners and supports accurate open-loop reference design without trimming.
Is HZ9A2LTA-E suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No - the HZ9A2LTA-E uses a DO-35 axial glass package with leads designed for through-hole mounting. It is not compatible with reflow or wave soldering processes intended for SMT components. For SMT alternatives, consider evaluating Renesas' HZ-L Series SMD variants or cross-referenced equivalents like BZX84-C8V2, though noise and tolerance specs differ.
Does HZ9A2LTA-E have a specified zener voltage temperature coefficient?
While the HZ9A2LTA-E datasheet does not list a discrete γZ value for this specific variant, Figure 2 in REJ03G0182-0300 shows the HZ-L Series temperature coefficient curve crossing −0.04 %/°C near 8 V. This inferred value aligns with adjacent variants (e.g., HZ9A1L/HZ9A3L) and is usable for drift budgeting in HZ9A2LTA-E-based references.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current before breakdown in HZ9A2LTA-E?
The HZ9A2LTA-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of ≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V (Ta = 25°C). This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference dividers and prevents unintended biasing in cascaded analog stages - a key advantage over standard Zeners with >5 μA leakage at same VR.
Can HZ9A2LTA-E replace older HZ9A2L parts without design changes?
Yes - the HZ9A2LTA-E is a direct replacement for HZ9A2L with identical electrical specifications, DO-35 packaging, pinout, and thermal ratings. The "TA-E" suffix denotes updated traceability and RoHS-compliant manufacturing per Renesas' post-2010 consolidation, with no functional or mechanical deviations from the original HZ9A2L.
