Product details
Overview
HZU16B3TRF-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage stabilization in low-power analog and power-supply reference circuits, with a nominal Zener voltage of 16.35 V to 17.09 V at 5 mA, 40 mW dynamic resistance, and 200 mW maximum power dissipation in an ultra-small URP surface-mount package.
For engineers reviewing the HZU16B3TRF-E datasheet, HZU16B3TRF-E pinout, HZU16B3TRF-E application, or HZU16B3TRF-E equivalent, this device serves as a compact, tape-and-reel–ready voltage reference for space-constrained DC-DC feedback loops, sensor biasing, and overvoltage protection where ±3% tolerance and low temperature coefficient (−0.02 %/°C typical) are critical.
Technical Context
The HZU16B3TRF-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under reverse-biased conditions. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers predictable regulation at IZ = 5 mA, with a specified dynamic resistance of ≤40 Ω ensuring minimal voltage deviation under load transients.
Designed for ambient temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C, it features a junction temperature limit of 150 °C and thermal derating per Fig.3 - power dissipation drops linearly from 200 mW at 25 °C to zero at 150 °C - enabling reliable operation in industrial-grade embedded systems without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16.35 V to 17.09 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback or reference use |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 200 mW at Ta = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal shutdown |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | ≤40 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤2 μA at VR = 12.0 V - ensures low leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - defines upper thermal operating limit for reliability in sealed enclosures |
| Package | URP (SC-76A), 0.8 mm × 1.5 mm footprint - enables 0402-class PCB area usage with solderable terminations |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.02 %/°C typical near 16 V - minimizes drift over industrial temperature range (−40 to +85 °C) |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C16LT1G | 16 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW Pd, SOT-23 package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm) | Larger footprint; higher power but looser VZ tolerance increases system calibration burden | Select when higher surge energy handling is required and board space permits larger package |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 16 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW Pd, SOD-123 package (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm) | 3× larger PCB area; higher Pd enables passive overvoltage clamping without heatsinking | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer designs where size constraints are relaxed and 500 mW headroom is needed |
Compared with BZX84-C16LT1G and MMSZ5245B-TP, the HZU16B3TRF-E offers superior voltage accuracy (±2.2% vs. ±5%), smallest PCB footprint (0.8 × 1.5 mm), and optimized thermal performance for high-density industrial layouts - making it ideal where precision, miniaturization, and thermal stability are jointly prioritized.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for HZU16B3TRF-E?
The HZU16B3TRF-E has a Zener voltage range of 16.35 V to 17.09 V at IZ = 5 mA, corresponding to Grade B3 tolerance (±2.2% around nominal 16.7 V). This tighter specification than standard ±5% Zeners reduces system calibration effort and improves closed-loop accuracy in feedback applications.
Does HZU16B3TRF-E require a series current-limiting resistor in operation?
Yes, HZU16B3TRF-E must be used with an external series resistor to limit reverse current to within its 200 mW power rating and prevent thermal runaway. For example, at 24 V input and 16.7 V output, a minimum 360 Ω resistor ensures IZ ≤ 20 mA and Pd ≤ 200 mW under worst-case conditions.
What is the thermal derating behavior of HZU16B3TRF-E above 25 °C?
HZU16B3TRF-E follows linear thermal derating per Fig.3 in the datasheet: power dissipation decreases from 200 mW at 25 °C to 0 mW at 150 °C. At 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable Pd is approximately 120 mW - requiring design verification of junction temperature using θJA ≈ 625 °C/W for URP package on standard FR-4.
Can HZU16B3TRF-E be used in place of a TL431-based shunt regulator?
HZU16B3TRF-E serves as a passive two-terminal alternative to active shunt regulators like the TL431, offering simpler implementation and lower quiescent current. However, it lacks adjustable output and temperature-compensated reference; use only where fixed 16.7 V regulation with ±2.2% tolerance meets system requirements.
Is HZU16B3TRF-E RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, HZU16B3TRF-E complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per JESD209-4 standards, as confirmed in Renesas' official product change notices and material declarations. Full compliance documentation is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
