Product details
Overview
HZK4CLLTR-S-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications at 4.0–4.4 V nominal Zener voltage, with 250 mW power dissipation, 370 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current, and operation up to 175°C junction temperature. It serves as a precision shunt reference in analog sensor signal conditioning and low-power regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the HZK4CLLTR-S-E datasheet, HZK4CLLTR-S-E pinout, HZK4CLLTR-S-E application, or HZK4CLLTR-S-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its low dynamic impedance in the 0.5–2 mA range, tight 4.0–4.4 V Zener voltage tolerance, LLD surface-mount package compatibility, and −0.03%/°C temperature coefficient near 4.2 V.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the HZK-LL Series, engineered for stable low-current Zener operation with hard-knee characteristics-minimizing voltage deviation below knee current (IZK = 0.5 μA) and enabling reliable regulation down to 10 μA. Its planar construction ensures reproducible breakdown behavior and low noise versus conventional diffused Zeners.
The LLD package supports high-density PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly. Electrical performance is specified at Ta = 25°C with derating above 25°C per Fig.3; thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient is ~600°C/W on standard FR-4 board per typical layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.0–4.4 V at IZT = 2 mA - defines stable reference point for feedback or biasing circuits requiring ±5% tolerance. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 370 Ω typ. at IZT = 2 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation; lower than legacy zeners by ~10× in sub-mA region. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤100 nA at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance reference nodes and battery-powered standby circuits. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 250 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB; derates linearly to zero at 150°C ambient. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 to +175°C - enables use in industrial and automotive under-hood environments where thermal cycling and peak temperatures exceed 125°C. |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.03%/°C near 4.2 V - minimizes drift in precision references; polarity and magnitude confirmed from Fig.2 curve for HZK4CLL variant. |
Pinout & Package
The HZK4CLLTR-S-E is housed in the LLD (Leadless Low-profile Diode) package: 3.3–3.6 mm length × 1.25–1.45 mm width × ~0.9 mm height, glass epoxy molded, cathode-banded surface-mount device weighing ~0.027 g. Designed for solder reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal carrying Zener current into reference circuit. |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to ground or lowest potential rail; completes current path during Zener conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hard-knee Zener characteristic | Sharp, well-defined breakdown onset at IZK = 0.5 μA - enables stable regulation even at microamp-level bias currents. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 370 Ω typical at 2 mA - reduces output voltage ripple and improves PSRR in shunt-regulated supplies. |
| Low noise performance | ≈1/10 noise of conventional Zeners in 0.01–1 mA range - critical for high-resolution ADC references and precision op-amp biasing. |
| LLD surface-mount package | 0.9 mm profile, 3.5 mm × 1.35 mm footprint - supports compact, automated assembly in space-constrained IoT and portable designs. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C4V3 (Nexperia) | 4.3 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 625 mW Pd, SOT-23 package, 90 Ω ZZT at 5 mA - higher power but looser voltage tolerance and no hard-knee optimization. | Used in general-purpose regulation where ±5% VZ and higher current (>5 mA) are acceptable; not recommended for <100 μA bias or low-noise ADC refs. | Select only when higher power headroom and SOT-23 compatibility outweigh need for low-current stability and noise performance. |
| MMSZ4685 (ON Semiconductor) | 4.3 V nominal, ±5%, 500 mW Pd, SOD-123 package, 150 Ω ZZT at 1 mA - better impedance than BZX84 but lacks documented hard-knee behavior and low-noise validation. | Suitable for mid-current shunt regulation (1–10 mA); insufficient data on microamp-region knee sharpness or noise spectral density for precision analog use. | Preferable over BZX84 for tighter impedance, but verify knee consistency and noise in target bias range before substituting for HZK4CLLTR-S-E. |
Compared with BZX84-C4V3 and MMSZ4685, the HZK4CLLTR-S-E delivers superior low-current regulation stability, quantifiably lower noise, and verified hard-knee behavior-making it uniquely suitable for precision analog systems operating below 100 μA, whereas alternatives serve broader, less demanding regulation roles.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the HZK4CLLTR-S-E?
The HZK4CLLTR-S-E has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 4.0 V to 4.4 V at IZT = 2 mA, representing a ±5% tolerance centered at 4.2 V. This specification is validated per Renesas REJ03G0183-0300 Rev.3.00 and applies across the full operating temperature range when derated per Fig.3.
Does the HZK4CLLTR-S-E support operation below 100 μA?
Yes-the HZK4CLLTR-S-E exhibits hard-knee behavior with defined regulation starting at IZK = 0.5 μA, and maintains usable voltage stability down to 10 μA. Its low dynamic impedance and low noise are explicitly characterized in the 0.001–0.5 mA region, making it suitable for ultra-low-power reference designs where other Zeners fail to regulate.
What is the thermal resistance of the HZK4CLLTR-S-E in standard PCB mounting?
While not directly specified in the datasheet, thermal characterization of the LLD package on a 15 × 20 × 1.6 mm glass-epoxy PCB (per Fig.3 test condition) yields an estimated junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of approximately 600°C/W. This value supports operation up to 175°C junction temperature with appropriate ambient derating.
Is the HZK4CLLTR-S-E RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-the HZK4CLLTR-S-E meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Renesas confirms lead-free termination and halogen-free molding compound per their environmental compliance documentation referenced in REJ03G0183-0300, and the part carries the "-S-E" suffix denoting RoHS-compliant packaging.
Can the HZK4CLLTR-S-E replace standard 1N4733A-type Zeners?
No-the HZK4CLLTR-S-E is not a drop-in replacement for 1N4733A (5.1 V, 1 W, DO-41). It operates at 4.2 V nominal, dissipates only 250 mW, uses LLD surface-mount packaging, and targets low-noise, low-current applications-not general-purpose power regulation. Substitution requires circuit redesign for voltage, power, and footprint.
