Product details
Overview
HZS11C2LTD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage reference and stabilization in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 11.1–11.6 V at 0.5 mA, dynamic resistance of 80 Ω, maximum power dissipation of 400 mW, and junction temperature rating up to 200°C. It is used in high-stability power supplies, sensor excitation circuits, and instrumentation front-ends where noise-sensitive regulation is required.
For engineers reviewing the HZS11C2LTD-E datasheet, HZS11C2LTD-E pinout, HZS11C2LTD-E application, or HZS11C2LTD-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its low diode noise (≈1/3–1/10 that of HZ series), tight zener voltage tolerance, low leakage current (<1 μA at VR = 2.0 V), and suitability for 5 mm-pitch automated insertion in industrial PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused silicon junction. Its low-noise performance stems from optimized doping profile and passivation, enabling stable DC regulation with minimal broadband noise contribution.
The HZS11C2LTD-E exhibits a negative zener voltage temperature coefficient (γZ ≈ −0.02 to −0.04 mV/°C near 11 V), low reverse leakage (<1 μA), and maintains zener impedance below 80 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA - critical for minimizing output ripple in feedback references.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11.1–11.6 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference level for feedback loops or biasing. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 80 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output impedance and good load regulation. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW max - supports operation in compact SMT-compatible through-hole packages without forced cooling. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V - reduces error current in high-impedance reference nodes. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 to +200°C - enables use in extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
| Noise Level | ≈1/3–1/10 of HZ series - directly improves SNR in precision ADC references and low-level signal conditioning. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MHD (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), axial-lead, glass-passivated silicon planar diode with black cathode band. Dimensions: φD = 2.0 mm, L = 26.0 mm, E = 2.4 mm, mass ≈ 0.084 g. Compatible with 5 mm-pitch automatic insertion equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side reference terminal | Connected to regulated output node; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction. |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side reference terminal | Typically grounded or connected to current-limiting resistor; establishes reference current path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise performance | Diode noise reduced to ≈1/3–1/10 of legacy HZ series - critical for high-resolution data acquisition systems. |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±0.25 V window at 11.1–11.6 V - enables accurate calibration without post-trim in factory-set references. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 80 Ω max at 0.5 mA - minimizes voltage shift under varying load or supply conditions. |
| High thermal robustness | 200°C max junction temperature - supports reliable operation in thermally constrained enclosures. |
| Automated assembly compatibility | 5 mm pitch lead spacing - enables high-throughput placement on industrial PCB lines without manual rework. |

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 1N4742A | Zener voltage 12 V ±5%, rd = 9 Ω at 21 mA, Pd = 1 W, higher noise than HZS-L series. | Higher power handling but lacks low-noise optimization; suitable for general-purpose regulation, not precision references. | Select when higher power and looser voltage tolerance are acceptable; avoid where sub-mV stability or low broadband noise is required. |
| Vishay BZX55C11 | Zener voltage 11 V ±5%, rd = 25 Ω at 5 mA, Pd = 500 mW, no published noise spec, JEDEC DO-35 package. | Standard DO-35 footprint; lower dynamic resistance at higher test current but uncharacterized noise performance. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-critical references where PCB layout constraints favor DO-35; verify noise impact in final design. |
Compared with 1N4742A and BZX55C11, the HZS11C2LTD-E delivers superior noise performance and tighter voltage tolerance at lower test current, making it preferred for precision analog signal chains - though its MHD package requires different board layout and insertion tooling.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage range of the HZS11C2LTD-E?
The HZS11C2LTD-E has a specified zener voltage range of 11.1 V to 11.6 V at a test current of 0.5 mA, measured under DC conditions per Renesas datasheet REJ03G0166-0300 Rev.3.00. This tight tolerance supports high-accuracy voltage referencing without external trimming, and the value remains stable across its rated junction temperature range.
Does the HZS11C2LTD-E have a documented noise specification?
Yes - the HZS11C2LTD-E datasheet states its diode noise level is approximately 1/3 to 1/10 that of the legacy HZ series. While no absolute nV/√Hz figure is provided, this comparative metric is validated across the HZS-L family and confirmed in Renesas' characterization of low-noise operation for precision analog applications.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for the HZS11C2LTD-E?
The HZS11C2LTD-E has a maximum power dissipation (Pd) rating of 400 mW at Ta = 25°C, with derating above 25°C as shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet. At 70°C ambient, usable power drops to ~280 mW, and the device remains functional up to 200°C junction temperature - critical for thermally demanding industrial deployments.
Is the HZS11C2LTD-E suitable for automotive applications?
The HZS11C2LTD-E is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas' quality grading system, intended for industrial, office, and communications equipment - not certified for automotive AEC-Q200 stress testing. For automotive engine control or body electronics, Renesas recommends qualified alternatives such as the RLZ series or consult their automotive product line.
What package type does the HZS11C2LTD-E use, and is it RoHS compliant?
The HZS11C2LTD-E uses the MHD package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), an axial-leaded, glass-passivated silicon planar diode with black cathode band. Per Renesas' environmental compliance statements, all HZS-L Series devices manufactured after 2007 meet EU RoHS Directive requirements, including lead-free terminations and compliant packaging materials.
