Product details
Overview
HZU3CLLTRF-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V (min 3.1 V, max 3.5 V at IZ = 0.5 mA), exhibits ultra-low noise voltage (~1/3–1/10 that of standard HZU series), and features a temperature coefficient of −0.02 mV/°C - approximately half that of the HZU series. Packaged in an ultra-small URP (SC-76A) surface-mount package, it supports precision biasing in space-constrained analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZU3CLLTRF-E datasheet, HZU3CLLTRF-E pinout, HZU3CLLTRF-E application, or HZU3CLLTRF-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its hard-knee VZ–IZ linearity (semi-logarithmic linear from 1 nA to 1 mA), low dynamic resistance (360 Ω typ. at IZT = 0.5 mA), and suitability for low-drift, low-noise reference designs requiring stable regulation below 1 mA.
Technical Context
The HZU3CLLTRF-E employs a silicon epitaxial planar junction structure to achieve sharp Zener knee characteristics and minimized voltage hysteresis. Its semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ response over seven decades (1 nA–1 mA) enables predictable operation across wide current ranges without abrupt transitions.
Designed for low-noise analog systems, it achieves reduced thermal drift via optimized doping profile and junction geometry, yielding a temperature coefficient of −0.02 mV/°C - significantly lower than legacy HZU-series diodes. This enables stable reference performance in ambient temperature variations up to 125°C without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.1 V min to 3.5 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for low-current reference nodes |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZT) | 360 Ω typical at IZT = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output impedance and high PSRR in reference circuits |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤100 nA at VR = 1.0 V - guarantees negligible leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.02 mV/°C - enables <±1.5 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C ambient, critical for metrology-grade references |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 150 mW maximum at Ta = 25°C - constrains usable current to ≤45 mA at 3.3 V, supporting micro-power designs |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C maximum - allows operation in thermally demanding PCB layouts with localized heating |
Pinout & Package
Package: Ultra Small Resin Package (URP), JEITA code SC-76A, Renesas code PTSP0002ZA-A, mass 0.004 g. Dimensions: 1.10 mm × 0.80 mm × 0.45 mm (L × W × H), compatible with 0402-class pick-and-place equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hard-knee Zener characteristic | Semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity from 1 nA to 1 mA enables stable regulation across ultra-low to moderate bias currents without soft turn-on |
| Ultra-low noise voltage | Approximately 1/3–1/10 lower than standard HZU series - reduces RMS noise contribution in precision ADC reference buffers |
| Reduced temperature coefficient | ≈1/2 that of HZU series (−0.02 mV/°C) - minimizes thermal drift in unregulated environments |
| Surface-mount URP package | 0.8 mm × 1.1 mm footprint - supports high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly without lead-frame shadowing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACLP | Adjustable shunt regulator (2.5 V ref), higher IKA min (1 mA), larger SO-8 package, requires external resistors | Used where programmable VREF or higher current sinking (>1 mA) is required; not suitable for ultra-low-IZ operation | Select TL431ACLP when adjustable output or >1 mA sink capability is needed; avoid for sub-µA bias or 0402 layout constraints |
| BZX84-C3V3 | Standard Zener (3.3 V), higher noise, γZ ≈ −2.5 mV/°C, 370 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package (larger than URP) | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, non-critical references where drift <±10 mV over temperature is tolerable | Choose BZX84-C3V3 only for non-precision applications; HZU3CLLTRF-E provides 12× lower tempco and 3× lower noise |
Compared with TL431ACLP and BZX84-C3V3, the HZU3CLLTRF-E offers superior low-current stability, ultra-low thermal drift, and smallest footprint - making it optimal for miniaturized, high-accuracy analog subsystems where passive reference performance is paramount.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed Zener voltage range for HZU3CLLTRF-E at 0.5 mA test current?
The HZU3CLLTRF-E has a specified Zener voltage range of 3.1 V minimum to 3.5 V maximum when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA, per Renesas datasheet REJ03G1216-0500 Rev.5.00. This 0.4 V span reflects tight process control for the 'C' grade variant within the HZU3CLL family, ensuring predictable regulation in low-current reference designs.
Does HZU3CLLTRF-E support operation below 1 µA bias current?
Yes, the HZU3CLLTRF-E maintains semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity down to 1 nA, as confirmed in its electrical characteristics table and Fig.1 of the datasheet. At 100 nA, VZ remains within specification, enabling use in nano-power monitoring circuits where HZU3CLLTRF-E delivers stable regulation without knee distortion.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for HZU3CLLTRF-E in standard FR-4 PCB layout?
Renesas does not publish RθJA for HZU3CLLTRF-E in the provided datasheet. However, based on its URP (SC-76A) package size (1.1 mm × 0.8 mm) and typical thermal behavior of similar ultra-small Zeners, RθJA is estimated at ~450°C/W on 1-oz copper with no thermal pads. For accurate thermal design, users should validate with actual board layout and power dissipation profiles.
Is HZU3CLLTRF-E rated for automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C)?
No, the HZU3CLLTRF-E is characterized for operation from −55°C to +150°C storage and has absolute maximum ratings up to Tj = 150°C, but Renesas specifies its electrical characteristics only at Ta = 25°C and does not guarantee parametric performance across the full automotive temperature range. It is classified as a Standard-grade product, intended for industrial and consumer applications, not automotive AEC-Q200 qualified use.
Can HZU3CLLTRF-E be used as a direct replacement for HZU3CLL without layout changes?
Yes, HZU3CLLTRF-E shares identical URP (SC-76A) package dimensions, pinout (cathode/anode), and electrical specifications with HZU3CLL. The '-E' suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per JEDEC standards, with no functional or mechanical differences - making HZU3CLLTRF-E a drop-in replacement for HZU3CLL in existing PCB designs.
