Product details
Overview
HZ9A2LTD-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 7.9–8.3 V, 400 mW power dissipation, and dynamic resistance of 60 Ω at 0.5 mA test current. It is used in stabilized power supplies, reference voltage sources, and noise-sensitive instrumentation where low diode noise (≈1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series) and tight voltage tolerance are critical.
For engineers reviewing the HZ9A2LTD-E datasheet, HZ9A2LTD-E pinout, HZ9A2LTD-E application, or HZ9A2LTD-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-35 package, cathode-band polarity marking, low temperature coefficient (≈−0.02 %/°C near 8 V), and suitability for low-current (<1 mA) precision biasing and voltage clamping in industrial and office equipment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal, DC-biased voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused silicon junction. Its low-noise performance stems from optimized doping profile and passivation, reducing flicker (1/f) noise components compared to legacy HZ-series diodes. The zener voltage is specified at IZ = 0.5 mA with ±0.2 V tolerance across the HZ9A2L variant group.
Thermal stability is characterized by a negative temperature coefficient near −0.02 %/°C (≈−1.6 mV/°C) at 8 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in multi-device references. Absolute maximum ratings include Tj = 175°C and Pd = 400 mW at Ta = 25°C, derating linearly above 25°C per the published curve (Fig.3).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.9–8.3 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable regulation point for low-current bias networks |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 60 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output impedance variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with adequate heatsinking |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 2.0 V - enables high-impedance sensing and low-quiescent-current designs |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | ≈−0.02 %/°C near 8 V - allows predictable thermal drift modeling in reference circuits |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - permits operation in elevated ambient environments with proper thermal design |
Pinout & Package
The HZ9A2LTD-E is housed in a DO-35 glass axial package (Renesas code GRZZ0002ZB-A, JEITA SC-40), with orange body color and navy-blue cathode band marking. Total mass is 0.13 g; lead spacing (E) is 4.2 mm nominal; body diameter (φD) is 2.0 mm max; length (L) is 26.0 mm min.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side terminal for reverse-bias connection | Connected to regulated positive rail; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side terminal, typically grounded or tied to lower potential | Serves as reference return path; establishes current flow direction for zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low diode noise | ≈1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series - directly improves SNR in audio preamps and sensor front-ends |
| Low zener impedance | 60 Ω max at 0.5 mA - maintains regulation accuracy under varying load currents up to ~1 mA |
| Wide zener voltage range | 5.2–38 V across HZ-L family - enables single-supplier sourcing for multiple reference voltages |
| Stable temperature coefficient | Negative γZ ≈−0.02 %/°C at 8 V - simplifies thermal drift compensation in multi-diode references |
| High reliability packaging | DO-35 glass-sealed construction - provides hermetic protection against moisture and contaminants in industrial environments |

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, SOT-23 package, 225 mW rating, rd = 17 Ω | Lower voltage, surface-mount only, higher power density but less thermal mass | Select when board space is constrained and 5.1 V reference suffices; not interchangeable due to voltage and package mismatch |
| Vishay BZX84-C8V2 | Zener voltage 8.2 V, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, rd = 35 Ω, noise not specified | Similar VZ, but no documented low-noise optimization; higher rd limits regulation fidelity | Acceptable for general-purpose clamping; avoid where noise floor or regulation stability below 100 nV/√Hz is required |
Compared with MMBZ5231BLT1G and BZX84-C8V2, the HZ9A2LTD-E delivers superior low-noise performance and tighter VZ tolerance in a through-hole DO-35 package ideal for prototyping and industrial repair, while trading off SMT compatibility and ultra-low rd.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of HZ9A2LTD-E?
The HZ9A2LTD-E has a zener voltage range of 7.9 V to 8.3 V at IZ = 0.5 mA, corresponding to a ±0.2 V absolute tolerance. This specification is confirmed in the Renesas REJ03G0182-0300 datasheet, Page 2, Electrical Characteristics table. The tolerance reflects process control for the "A2" variant within the HZ9xxL family and is tighter than many generic 8.2 V Zeners.
Is HZ9A2LTD-E suitable for automotive applications?
No, the HZ9A2LTD-E is rated as a Standard-grade Renesas product intended for computers, office equipment, communications gear, and industrial robots-not for automotive or safety-critical systems. Its qualification does not meet AEC-Q200, and Renesas explicitly restricts use in transportation equipment without prior written consent per Quality Grade Notice (Page 1, Section 7).
What is the maximum reverse current specification for HZ9A2LTD-E?
The HZ9A2LTD-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA at VR = 2.0 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table on Page 2 of the REJ03G0182-0300 datasheet. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes error in precision current-source applications using the HZ9A2LTD-E.
Does HZ9A2LTD-E have a specified noise spectral density?
The HZ9A2LTD-E datasheet states its noise level is "approximately 1/3–1/10 lower than the HZ series" but does not publish quantitative noise spectral density (e.g., nV/√Hz). This comparative claim is based on Renesas' internal low-noise process optimization and is validated across the full HZ-L family, including the HZ9A2LTD-E.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of HZ9A2LTD-E in DO-35 package?
The datasheet does not specify RθJA for HZ9A2LTD-E. However, Fig.3 (Page 4) provides the derating curve: power dissipation drops linearly from 400 mW at 25°C to 0 mW at ~150°C ambient. For PCB-mounted DO-35 devices on FR-4 with 20 mm lead length, typical RθJA is ~350°C/W - meaning the HZ9A2LTD-E junction rises ~140°C above ambient at full 400 mW.
