Product details
Overview
HZS9C3LTD-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 9.3–9.7 V at 0.5 mA, 60 Ω dynamic impedance, 400 mW power dissipation, and −55 to +175 °C storage temperature range. It is used in low-drift power supply feedback paths and sensor excitation circuits where noise suppression and thermal stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the HZS9C3LTD-E datasheet, HZS9C3LTD-E pinout, HZS9C3LTD-E application, or HZS9C3LTD-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.2 V), low noise performance (≈1/3–1/10 that of HZ series), junction temperature limit (200 °C), and compatibility with 5 mm-pitch automated insertion equipment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across variable load currents via controlled reverse-bias breakdown. Its planar construction ensures consistent zener impedance (60 Ω max at 0.5 mA) and low leakage current (≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V).
The HZS9C3LTD-E exhibits a negative zener voltage temperature coefficient near zero crossing - typical for ~9.5 V devices - enabling minimal drift over temperature when paired with compensating components. It is rated for standard-grade applications including industrial instrumentation and office equipment per Renesas quality classification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.3–9.7 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks. |
| Dynamic Impedance (rd) | 60 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25 °C - supports compact PCB layout without forced cooling in ambient conditions. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V - reduces error current in high-impedance reference nodes. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200 °C maximum - enables reliable operation in thermally constrained enclosures. |
| Storage Temperature | −55 to +175 °C - compatible with reflow soldering and extended environmental deployment. |

| 2 (Anode) | Reverse-bias cathode connection point | Ground or lower-potential reference; forms current path through series resistor to input supply. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener operation | Noise level ≈1/3–1/10 that of legacy HZ series - directly improves SNR in precision ADC references and op-amp biasing. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C9V1 | 9.1 V nominal, 90 Ω rd, 300 mW Pd, SOT-23 package | SMT-only; higher impedance limits regulation accuracy in high-current feedback paths | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 0.2 V VZ shift and reduced power handling are acceptable. |
| 1N4739A | 9.1 V nominal, 10 Ω rd, 1 W Pd, DO-41 package | Higher power but higher noise (≈3× HZS-L series); no low-noise specification | Prefer for high-current shunt regulation where thermal margin outweighs noise sensitivity. |
Compared with BZX84-C9V1 and 1N4739A, the HZS9C3LTD-E delivers superior noise performance and tighter VZ tolerance in a standardized axial package, making it optimal for analog-intensive designs where reference integrity directly impacts measurement fidelity.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZS9C3LTD-E?
The HZS9C3LTD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 9.3 V to 9.7 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25 °C. This 0.4 V tolerance reflects tight process control for precision reference use, and the value is confirmed in Renesas document REJ03G0166-0300 Rev.3.00.
Does HZS9C3LTD-E support automated assembly processes?
Yes, the HZS9C3LTD-E uses the MHD package with 5 mm lead pitch, explicitly qualified for high-speed automatic insertion equipment. Its axial lead geometry and standardized dimensions (2.0 mm body diameter, 26.0 mm length) ensure compatibility with industry-standard pick-and-place and wave soldering workflows.
How does the noise performance of HZS9C3LTD-E compare to older Zener families?
The HZS9C3LTD-E achieves approximately one-third to one-tenth the noise level of the legacy HZ series Zeners, as stated in the official Renesas datasheet. This improvement stems from refined silicon planar processing and optimized junction design, directly benefiting low-level analog circuits like sensor interfaces and precision DAC references.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for HZS9C3LTD-E?
The absolute maximum junction temperature for HZS9C3LTD-E is 200 °C, per Renesas' Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating enables reliable operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed industrial controllers or high-density power modules, provided PCB thermal design maintains Tj ≤ 200 °C.
Is HZS9C3LTD-E suitable for automotive applications?
No - the HZS9C3LTD-E is classified as a Standard-grade Renesas product, intended for computers, office equipment, communications gear, and industrial robots. It is not qualified for automotive (High Quality grade) or safety-critical (Specific grade) use; Renesas requires written consent for deployment in transportation or life-support systems.
