Product details
Overview
HZC4.7TRF-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode optimized for surge absorption in low-power signal-line protection circuits, featuring a nominal Zener voltage of 4.7 V (4.42–4.90 V), 150 mW power dissipation, 130 Ω dynamic resistance at 5 mA, and ESD capability of ±30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2, C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω). It is used in USB data lines, sensor I/O interfaces, and microcontroller reset inputs.
For engineers reviewing the HZC4.7TRF-E datasheet, HZC4.7TRF-E pinout, HZC4.7TRF-E application, or HZC4.7TRF-E equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, low dynamic impedance for clamping fidelity, ultra-small UFP package footprint, and verified ESD robustness without external series resistance.
Technical Context
The HZC4.7TRF-E operates as a two-terminal voltage-reference clamp, leveraging silicon epitaxial planar construction to achieve tight Zener voltage distribution and stable temperature coefficient (−0.02 %/°C typical near 4.7 V). Its design targets transient suppression rather than precision regulation, with reverse current limited to ≤10 µA at 1.0 V below VZ.
It is rated for junction temperatures up to 150°C and storage from −55°C to +150°C, and is specified for use in standard-grade applications including office equipment, audio devices, and industrial control I/O modules per Renesas quality classification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.42–4.90 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines clamping threshold for overvoltage events on 3.3 V or 5 V logic lines |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 150 mW at Ta = 25°C - limits sustained surge energy handling without thermal runaway |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 130 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures low voltage overshoot during fast transients (e.g., ESD) |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤10 µA at VR = 3.7 V - guarantees minimal leakage in standby mode for battery-powered sensors |
| ESD Capability | ±30 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2) - meets Level 4 immunity for end-equipment compliance |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C max - supports operation in enclosed industrial enclosures with limited airflow |

Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Line Protection | Microcontroller Reset Input Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− lines against ESD events during hot-plug insertion of USB peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal shunt clamp placed within 2 mm of USB connector, conducting surge current to ground before it reaches the PHY IC. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or damage to 3.3 V USB transceivers while maintaining signal integrity due to sub-130 Ω dynamic impedance. | Use Scenario: Securing the active-low reset input of an ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller against voltage spikes induced by nearby relay switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby-mode Zener clamp holding reset line at ≤0.7 V during overvoltage, ensuring clean deassertion after transient decay. Use Value: Eliminates need for RC filter delay, enabling immediate reset release post-surge with <1 µs recovery time. |
| Sensor Analog Output Protection | Industrial I/O Module Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 0–5 V analog output of a temperature sensor IC exposed to field wiring noise and accidental 24 V miswiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping element referenced to local ground, limiting output swing to ±5.5 V envelope. Use Value: Maintains sensor accuracy (no forward conduction in normal operation) while surviving 24 V shorts for >100 ms without degradation. | Use Scenario: Front-end protection for 4–20 mA current-loop receiver inputs in PLC analog input cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage (≤10 µA) Zener placed across input terminals to absorb induced surges before op-amp input stage. Use Value: Enables compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (2 kV surge) without increasing board area or BOM count. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode surge absorption applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ4700LT1G | VZ = 4.7 V (4.3–5.1 V), Pd = 200 mW, rd = 100 Ω, SOT-23 package (2.9 × 1.3 mm) | Larger footprint; higher power allows longer surge duration but increases layout area | Select when higher surge energy handling is required and PCB space permits larger package. |
| BZX384-B4V7 | VZ = 4.7 V (4.4–5.0 V), Pd = 300 mW, rd = 90 Ω, SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.25 mm) | Nearly identical footprint; slightly lower rd but no published ESD rating beyond 8 kV | Select when tighter dynamic impedance is critical and ESD testing is performed at system level. |
Compared with MMBZ4700LT1G and BZX384-B4V7, the HZC4.7TRF-E offers the smallest footprint (UFP/SC-79), guaranteed ±30 kV ESD rating, and Renesas' documented suitability for standard-grade industrial I/O-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability signal-line protection where board area and certified ESD margin are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of HZC4.7TRF-E at 5 mA test current?
The HZC4.7TRF-E has a Zener voltage range of 4.42 V to 4.90 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance about the nominal 4.7 V value. This specification is measured under pulse conditions (Pw = 40 ms) to avoid self-heating effects, and is confirmed in the official Renesas HZC Series datasheet (Rev. 2.00, Jul 2005).
Is HZC4.7TRF-E suitable for protecting a 3.3 V I²C bus line?
Yes, the HZC4.7TRF-E is suitable for 3.3 V I²C bus protection when placed between SDA/SCL and ground. Its 4.42–4.90 V Zener voltage ensures it remains non-conductive during normal 3.3 V operation (with ≤10 µA leakage at 3.7 V), yet clamps ESD or coupling transients above ~4.4 V. Its 130 Ω dynamic resistance and ±30 kV ESD rating make HZC4.7TRF-E effective for I²C signal integrity preservation.
What is the thermal derating behavior of HZC4.7TRF-E above 25°C ambient?
HZC4.7TRF-E's power dissipation derates linearly above 25°C ambient temperature, reaching 0 mW at approximately 125°C per the published "Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature" curve (Fig.2, page 4). The derating slope is ~1.2 mW/°C, meaning at 75°C ambient, maximum allowable Pd is ~90 mW. This must be accounted for in sealed enclosures or high-temperature industrial environments.
Does HZC4.7TRF-E have a specified junction-to-air thermal resistance (RθJA)?
No, the Renesas HZC Series datasheet does not specify RθJA for HZC4.7TRF-E. Thermal performance is characterized via the ambient temperature derating curve (Fig.2), which shows Pd decreasing from 150 mW at 25°C to 0 mW at ~125°C. Designers should rely on this empirical curve rather than calculating junction temperature using RθJA, as no numerical thermal resistance value is provided for the UFP package in the official documentation.
Can HZC4.7TRF-E be used in automotive applications?
No, HZC4.7TRF-E is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas' quality grading system and is intended for computers, office equipment, audio devices, and industrial robots-not automotive or safety-critical systems. It lacks AEC-Q200 qualification, extended temperature range certification (−40°C to +125°C), or PPAP documentation. For automotive use, Renesas recommends qualified alternatives such as the RV4xxx series or equivalent AEC-Q200 Zener diodes.
