Product details
Overview
HZU11A2LTRF-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications. It delivers 11 V nominal Zener voltage at 0.5 mA, with dynamic resistance of 380 Ω (typ), temperature coefficient of −0.04 %/°C, and ultra-low noise voltage-approximately 1/3 to 1/10 that of standard HZU-series diodes. It is used in precision analog front-ends and metrology-grade instrumentation where stable, quiet biasing is critical.
For engineers reviewing the HZU11A2LTRF-E datasheet, HZU11A2LTRF-E pinout, HZU11A2LTRF-E application, or HZU11A2LTRF-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity from 1 nA to 1 mA, low-temperature-coefficient operation, and suitability for surface-mount low-power reference designs requiring <150 mW dissipation.
Technical Context
The HZU11A2LTRF-E employs a hard-knee Zener breakdown structure with epitaxial planar construction to achieve sharp knee characteristics and minimized noise generation. Its VZ–IZ curve exhibits semi-logarithmic linearity across six decades of current (1 nA to 1 mA), enabling predictable behavior in sub-microamp biasing and high-impedance sensing circuits.
Designed for ambient temperatures up to +125°C derated power dissipation, it maintains junction temperature ≤150°C under specified conditions. Its temperature coefficient is −0.04 %/°C (−0.02 mV/°C), approximately half that of legacy HZU-series diodes, reducing thermal drift in precision references.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.7–11.3 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable reference point with ±2.8% tolerance for calibration-critical circuits |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZT) | 380 Ω (typ) at IZT = 0.5 mA - limits output impedance-induced error in buffered reference stages |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤100 nA at VR = 9.0 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-Z bias networks and battery-powered sensors |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C (−0.02 mV/°C) - reduces thermal drift to <±0.5 mV over 0–70°C ambient range |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 150 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports compact SMT layout without forced cooling in low-power analog modules |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C maximum - enables operation in industrial enclosures with limited airflow and elevated ambient temps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C11LT1G | Zener voltage tolerance ±5%, TC ≈ −0.08 %/°C, ZZT = 500 Ω (typ), noise not specified | Higher drift and less predictable knee behavior; suitable for non-critical biasing only | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and noise requirements |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | Zener voltage tolerance ±5%, TC ≈ −0.07 %/°C, ZZT = 450 Ω (typ), no published noise data | Lacks documented low-noise performance and hard-knee linearity; limited to general-purpose regulation | Choose for legacy designs where HZU-LL series availability is constrained |
Compared with BZX84-C11LT1G and MMSZ5240B-TP, the HZU11A2LTRF-E provides tighter VZ tolerance (±2.8%), lower TC (−0.04 %/°C), lower ZZT, and verified ultra-low noise-making it uniquely suited for metrology, medical, and high-resolution data acquisition where reference integrity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of HZU11A2LTRF-E at 0.5 mA?
The HZU11A2LTRF-E has a Zener voltage range of 10.7 V to 11.3 V at IZ = 0.5 mA, corresponding to a ±2.8% tolerance. This tight specification supports calibration-grade reference designs where absolute voltage accuracy is essential, and is confirmed in the REJ03G1216-0500 datasheet Table on Page 2.
Does HZU11A2LTRF-E support operation below 1 µA bias current?
Yes, the HZU11A2LTRF-E exhibits semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity from 1 nA to 1 mA, enabling stable operation down to nanoampere-level bias currents. This behavior is explicitly documented in the Features section and Fig.1 of the REJ03G1216-0500 datasheet.
What is the maximum power dissipation for HZU11A2LTRF-E at 70°C ambient?
At Ta = 70°C, the HZU11A2LTRF-E's maximum power dissipation is derated to approximately 105 mW, calculated using the linear derating slope from Fig.3 (150 mW at 25°C, zero at 150°C). This allows safe use in enclosed industrial modules without active cooling.
Is HZU11A2LTRF-E RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, HZU11A2LTRF-E conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free. The "-E" suffix in the part number denotes RoHS-compliant packaging, and Renesas confirms environmental compliance per its public declarations and product change notices.
How does the noise performance of HZU11A2LTRF-E compare to standard Zener diodes?
HZU11A2LTRF-E delivers approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise voltage of standard HZU-series Zeners, as stated in the Features section of REJ03G1216-0500. This ultra-low noise enables use in 24-bit ADC reference buffers and other high-dynamic-range analog circuits where noise floor is limiting.
