Product details
Overview
HZM3.3NB1TR-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage stabilization in low-power analog and reference circuits. It delivers a nominal zener voltage of 3.3 V (min 3.40 V, max 3.65 V at IZ = 5 mA), with dynamic resistance of 130 Ω, reverse current ≤20 μA at VR = 1.0 V, and power dissipation up to 200 mW in the MPAK package - commonly used in voltage regulation for microcontroller reset circuits and sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the HZM3.3NB1TR-E datasheet, HZM3.3NB1TR-E pinout, HZM3.3NB1TR-E application, or HZM3.3NB1TR-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its B1-grade zener tolerance (±5.2% at 3.3 V), low-temperature coefficient (≈–0.02 mV/°C near 3.3 V), surface-mount MPAK footprint compatibility, and suitability for space-constrained industrial and consumer power management designs.
Technical Context
The HZM3.3NB1TR-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across varying load currents by conducting excess current to ground when input exceeds VZ. Its epitaxial planar construction ensures tight voltage distribution and low leakage, with pulse-tested characterization (Pw = 40 ms) supporting reliable DC and transient regulation.
Designed for ambient temperatures from –55°C to +150°C, it features a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and storage range matching operational limits. The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient near 3.3 V (≈–0.02 mV/°C), enabling predictable drift compensation in reference ladder networks and analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.40 V min / 3.65 V max at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulation band for precision 3.3 V reference generation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage stabilization applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V3 (Diodes Inc.) | Same 3.3 V nominal, SOT-23 package, but wider tolerance (±5% min/max not specified per grade), rd = 95 Ω typical | Higher production volume; less consistent grading - suitable for non-critical biasing but not precision reset thresholds | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs ±0.1 V regulation band control; verify batch-specific VZ distribution. |
| MMSZ4685 (ON Semiconductor) | 3.3 V nominal, SOD-123 package, B-grade only (±10%), rd = 170 Ω max, Pd = 500 mW | Larger footprint and higher power rating - better for higher-current clamping but over-specified for low-power references | Choose for legacy SOD-123 layouts or where thermal margin >300 mW is required; expect looser voltage consistency. |
Compared with BZX84-C3V3 and MMSZ4685, the HZM3.3NB1TR-E offers superior grade-B1 voltage tightness and MPAK miniaturization - making it optimal for new designs prioritizing PCB area, reset accuracy, and thermal efficiency in compact embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZM3.3NB1TR-E at 5 mA test current?
The HZM3.3NB1TR-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 3.40 V minimum to 3.65 V maximum when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This B1-grade specification reflects ±5.2% tolerance around the nominal 3.3 V rating, confirmed in Renesas' R07DS0358EJ0600 datasheet Table on page 2. The HZM3.3NB1TR-E achieves this tighter distribution via post-process binning, distinguishing it from broader-tolerance variants like HZM3.3NB2.
Does HZM3.3NB1TR-E have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled on the PCB?
Yes, HZM3.3NB1TR-E features Pin 1 as a no-connect (NC) terminal, explicitly defined in the "Pin Arrangement" diagram on page 1 of the datasheet. This pin must remain unconnected on the PCB layout - neither routed nor soldered - to prevent mechanical stress on the die bond wire or unintended capacitive coupling. The HZM3.3NB1TR-E functions correctly using only Pins 2 (Anode) and 3 (Cathode); NC pin presence accommodates package standardization across the HZM-N family.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current for HZM3.3NB1TR-E at 1.0 V applied voltage?
The maximum reverse current (IR) for HZM3.3NB1TR-E is 20 μA when a reverse voltage of 1.0 V is applied across its cathode and anode, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the datasheet. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent power draw in always-on reference circuits and supports accurate low-current sensing applications. The HZM3.3NB1TR-E maintains this spec across its full operating temperature range, verified under standardized test conditions.
Can HZM3.3NB1TR-E replace older HZM3.3N series parts in existing designs?
Yes, HZM3.3NB1TR-E is a direct functional replacement for earlier HZM3.3N variants in the same MPAK package, retaining identical pinout, thermal profile, and absolute maximum ratings. However, its B1-grade voltage range (3.40–3.65 V) differs from standard B-grade (3.25–3.50 V) and B2-grade (3.25–3.50 V) versions - so designers must verify whether the tighter tolerance improves or disrupts existing regulation margins. The HZM3.3NB1TR-E requires no PCB changes but may need firmware recalibration if reset thresholds rely on nominal 3.3 V.
What is the thermal derating behavior of HZM3.3NB1TR-E above 25°C ambient?
HZM3.3NB1TR-E follows linear thermal derating from its 200 mW maximum power dissipation at Ta = 25°C, dropping to zero at Ta = 150°C, as shown in Figure 3 on page 5 of the datasheet. The derating slope is approximately 1.67 mW/°C above 25°C, meaning at 85°C ambient, usable power drops to ~100 mW. This behavior is intrinsic to the MPAK package's thermal resistance and must be accounted for in sustained high-temperature applications - such as those found in industrial motor drives where the HZM3.3NB1TR-E provides stable bias under thermal stress.
