Product details
Overview
HZ9A3LTD-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 8.1–8.5 V at 0.5 mA test current, dynamic resistance of 60 Ω, maximum power dissipation of 400 mW, and junction temperature rating up to 175°C. It is used in stabilized power supplies, reference voltage sources, and noise-sensitive instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the HZ9A3LTD-E datasheet, HZ9A3LTD-E pinout, HZ9A3LTD-E application, or HZ9A3LTD-E equivalent, this device serves as a low-noise, low-leakage voltage reference with tight zener voltage tolerance and stable temperature coefficient - critical for high-accuracy DC biasing, sensor excitation, and analog front-end conditioning.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with DC-tested characteristics, delivering low noise (≈1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series), low leakage current (≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V), and low zener impedance (60 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA). Its DO-35 glass package supports through-hole mounting and thermal dissipation up to 400 mW at 25°C ambient.
The device exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient of approximately −0.04 %/°C (−3.2 mV/°C) near 8.3 V, enabling predictable drift behavior in temperature-varying environments. It is rated for storage between −55°C and +175°C and conforms to Renesas' Standard quality grade for industrial and office equipment applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.1–8.5 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable regulation point for low-drift reference design |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 60 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output impedance under load variation |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW max at Ta = 25°C - sets thermal derating limit for PCB layout and heatsinking |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current in battery-powered references |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments with appropriate thermal design |
| Package | DO-35 (JEITA GRZZ0002ZB-A) - standard axial glass package with cathode band marking |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial leaded package (Renesas code GRZZ0002ZB-A), orange body color, navy blue cathode band. Mass: 0.13 g (typ.). Dimensions: φD = 2.0 mm, E = 4.2 mm, L = 26.0 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher potential in reverse-biased configuration; determines polarity of regulated output |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground node | Serves as circuit common; must be held at lower potential than cathode for conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 MMBZ5231BLT1G | Zener voltage 5.1 V, SOT-23 package, 225 mW Pd, rd = 17 Ω | Lower voltage, surface-mount only, unsuitable for 8.3 V reference needs | Select only if board space constraints require SMT and system allows 5.1 V reference redesign |
| Vishay BZX55C8V2 | Zener voltage 8.2 V ±5%, DO-35 package, 500 mW Pd, rd = 40 Ω, higher noise than HZ-L series | Same package and voltage range but lacks low-noise optimization and tighter VZ tolerance | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-precision applications where noise <−60 dBc is not required |
Compared with MMBZ5231BLT1G and BZX55C8V2, the HZ9A3LTD-E delivers superior noise performance, tighter voltage tolerance, and guaranteed low-leakage behavior - making it the preferred choice for metrology-grade references where signal integrity dominates cost or footprint considerations.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage range of the HZ9A3LTD-E?
The HZ9A3LTD-E has a specified zener voltage range of 8.1 V to 8.5 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This tight 0.4 V window supports high-accuracy voltage referencing without external trimming. The actual measured value for a given unit falls within this range and is verified during final test. HZ9A3LTD-E maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is the HZ9A3LTD-E RoHS compliant?
Yes, the HZ9A3LTD-E complies with the EU RoHS Directive, as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' environmental compliance documentation. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) above threshold limits. Renesas confirms RoHS status for the HZ-L Series in official product change notices and material declarations.
What is the maximum power dissipation for HZ9A3LTD-E at 75°C ambient?
At 75°C ambient temperature, the HZ9A3LTD-E's maximum allowable power dissipation is approximately 280 mW, based on linear derating from 400 mW at 25°C using the published curve in REJ03G0182-0300 (Fig.3). This assumes free-air conditions on FR-4 PCB with standard DO-35 lead geometry. Derating must be applied before thermal design margin is exhausted.
Does the HZ9A3LTD-E have a specified zener impedance versus frequency?
No - the HZ9A3LTD-E datasheet specifies dynamic resistance (rd = 60 Ω) only at DC (IZ = 0.5 mA), per Note 1 on page 2. No AC impedance or frequency-dependent impedance data is provided. For high-frequency noise analysis, designers should rely on the documented low-noise characteristic (≈1/3–1/10 of HZ series) and treat rd as a small-signal approximation below 10 kHz.
Can the HZ9A3LTD-E replace the older HZ9A3L part?
Yes - the HZ9A3LTD-E is the updated designation for the same device formerly labeled HZ9A3L, reflecting Renesas' post-merger part numbering convention (NEC Electronics + Renesas Technology → Renesas Electronics). Electrical specifications, package, pinout, and reliability data are identical. The "TD-E" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with embossed carrier tape per EIA-481-D, but the die and electrical behavior of HZ9A3LTD-E match HZ9A3L exactly.
