Product details
Overview
HZS3BLLTD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications at low current (IZ = 0.5 mA), with a nominal Zener voltage of 3.0 V (min 2.8 V, max 3.2 V), dynamic impedance of 360 Ω at IZT = 0.5 mA, and temperature coefficient of ±0.5 mV/°C - used in precision analog front-ends and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZS3BLLTD-E datasheet, HZS3BLLTD-E pinout, HZS3BLLTD-E application, or HZS3BLLTD-E equivalent, key selection criteria include low-current Zener knee sharpness, sub-1 µA reverse leakage (IR ≤ 100 nA at VR = 1.0 V), 250 mW power dissipation rating, MHD package compatibility with 5 mm-pitch automated insertion, and suitability for stable reference generation in battery-powered instrumentation.
Technical Context
The HZS3BLLTD-E employs a silicon planar junction structure engineered to deliver semilogarithmic linear VZ–IZ characteristics from 1 nA to 1 mA, enabling precise low-current regulation where conventional Zeners exhibit soft breakdown. Its hard-knee behavior minimizes voltage drift below 100 µA.
Designed for noise-sensitive analog systems, it achieves approximately 1/10 lower dynamic impedance and lower broadband noise than standard Zener diodes in the same voltage class, with specified linearity ∆VZ1 = 0.5 V and ∆VZ2 = 0.6 V across defined current steps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.8 V (min) to 3.2 V (max) at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines tight tolerance band for low-voltage reference stability |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 360 Ω (max) at IZT = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤100 nA at VR = 1.0 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current operation in always-on sensor circuits |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 250 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports operation on standard PCBs without forced cooling |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | –55°C to +175°C - allows deployment in industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | ±0.5 mV/°C - provides predictable, low-drift reference over temperature for calibration-critical designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: MHD (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), molded plastic with navy blue cathode band, 2.0 mm diameter body, 26.0 mm lead length, 0.4 mm lead diameter, 2.4 mm lead spacing - optimized for 5 mm-pitch high-speed automatic insertion.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to higher potential node; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to lower potential node (typically ground or common return); completes bias path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hard-knee breakdown | VZ–IZ curve remains semilog-linear down to 1 nA - eliminates ambiguity in low-current regulation point |
| Low-noise performance | Approximately 1/10 lower noise than standard Zeners in same voltage class - critical for high-resolution ADC references |
| Low-temperature drift | γZ = ±0.5 mV/°C - enables <±5 mV total drift over –40°C to +85°C without trimming |
| Automated assembly support | MHD package with standardized 5 mm pitch - compatible with high-throughput pick-and-place and wave soldering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5226BS | Zener voltage 3.3 V (±5%), ZZT = 17 Ω at 20 mA - higher test current, softer knee below 100 µA | Higher power handling (350 mW), but less suitable for sub-100 µA biasing due to nonlinearity | Prefer when higher current drive (>1 mA) and tighter absolute VZ tolerance are required over low-current linearity |
| Diodes Incorporated BZX84-C3V0 | Zener voltage 3.0 V (±5%), ZZT = 500 Ω at 5 mA - higher impedance, higher IR (≤500 nA at VR = 1 V) | SOT-23 package - smaller footprint but incompatible with 5 mm-pitch insertion; higher thermal resistance | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where automated insertion is not required and 500 nA IR is acceptable |
Compared with MMBZ5226BS and BZX84-C3V0, the HZS3BLLTD-E delivers superior low-current regulation fidelity and lower noise, making it uniquely suited for precision analog systems operating at microampere bias levels - though its MHD through-hole package requires different assembly logistics.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of HZS3BLLTD-E at 0.5 mA test current?
The HZS3BLLTD-E has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 2.8 V (minimum) to 3.2 V (maximum) when measured at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This ±0.2 V tolerance (±6.7% of nominal 3.0 V) reflects its design for precision low-current reference applications where tight distribution matters more than ultra-narrow absolute tolerance. The HZS3BLLTD-E achieves this via process-controlled planar junction geometry.
Does HZS3BLLTD-E support operation at junction temperatures up to 175°C?
Yes, the HZS3BLLTD-E is rated for a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of +175°C and minimum of –55°C. Its silicon planar construction and MHD package enable reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as industrial motor control enclosures or automotive engine compartments. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm 250 mW power dissipation remains valid up to +100°C ambient before linear reduction begins.
How does the dynamic impedance of HZS3BLLTD-E compare to standard Zener diodes?
The HZS3BLLTD-E specifies a maximum dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 360 Ω at IZT = 0.5 mA - significantly lower than typical 1–5 kΩ values seen in general-purpose Zeners at similar currents. This low ZZT directly improves regulation against load variations and reduces noise coupling into sensitive analog nodes. The HZS3BLLTD-E achieves this via optimized doping profiles and junction geometry.
Is HZS3BLLTD-E suitable for low-noise sensor biasing applications?
Yes, the HZS3BLLTD-E is explicitly designed for low-noise applications: its datasheet states "low dynamic impedance and low noise in the low current region (approximately 1/10 lower than the current zeners)." Measured noise performance is validated down to 1 nA, making the HZS3BLLTD-E appropriate for biasing photodiodes, RTDs, and electrochemical sensors where reference-induced noise limits system resolution.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for HZS3BLLTD-E?
The HZS3BLLTD-E guarantees reverse current (IR) ≤ 100 nA when tested at VR = 1.0 V and Ta = 25°C. This ultra-low leakage enables use in always-on, battery-powered systems where standby current must remain below 1 µA. The HZS3BLLTD-E maintains this performance due to its planar junction process and controlled surface passivation - confirmed in the REJ03G0167-0300 datasheet.
