Product details
Overview
HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications, with nominal Zener voltage 4.8 V (min) to 5.2 V (max) at IZ = 0.5 mA, dynamic resistance 380 Ω (typ), and ultra-low noise voltage (~1/3–1/10 of standard HZU series). It operates in surface-mount URP (SC-76A) package for precision analog sensing and power rail stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E datasheet, HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E pinout, HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E application, or HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its semi-logarithmic VZ-IZ linearity from 1 nA to 1 mA, temperature coefficient of −0.03 mV/°C (typ), and suitability for low-drift reference designs requiring stable reverse-bias operation below 150 mW dissipation.
Technical Context
The HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E implements a hard-knee Zener breakdown structure with epitaxial planar junction design, enabling sharp knee characteristics and minimal voltage hysteresis. Its VZ-IZ curve remains semi-logarithmic linear across six decades (1 nA–1 mA), supporting accurate low-current referencing.
It exhibits reduced thermal drift versus legacy HZU series: temperature coefficient is approximately half (−0.03 mV/°C typ) and noise voltage is suppressed by factor of 3–10. Absolute maximum ratings specify Pd = 150 mW at Ta = 25°C, derating linearly to zero at Ta = 150°C per Fig.3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.8 V min to 5.2 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines tight tolerance band for precision reference use |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZT) | 380 Ω typical at IZT = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal AC impedance and low output impedance under varying load |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤100 nA at VR = 3.0 V - enables ultra-low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.03 mV/°C typical - delivers <0.15 mV drift over 0–50°C ambient range |
| Noise Voltage | ~1/3 to 1/10 of standard HZU series - critical for low-noise instrumentation amplifier references |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 150 mW maximum at Ta = 25°C - sets thermal boundary for PCB layout and copper pour sizing |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C maximum - constrains allowable thermal rise above ambient in sealed enclosures |

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-C4V7LT1G | Zener voltage 4.7 V ±5%, dynamic resistance 90 Ω (at 5 mA), higher noise, no hard-knee specification | Higher test current (5 mA vs. 0.5 mA) shifts operating point; less suitable for micro-power biasing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs low-noise and low-current linearity requirements |
| MMSZ4704T1G | Zener voltage 4.7 V ±5%, dynamic resistance 130 Ω (at 1 mA), 200 mW Pd, wider tempco (−2.5 mV/°C) | Higher power rating but significantly worse thermal stability-requires thermal compensation in precision circuits | Choose only for non-critical voltage clamping where drift <±10 mV is acceptable |
Compared with BZX84-C4V7LT1G and MMSZ4704T1G, the HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E offers superior low-current linearity, lower noise, and tighter thermal drift-making it preferred for sub-1 mA reference and sensor bias applications where stability dominates cost or power constraints.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage range of the HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E?
The HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E has a specified Zener voltage range of 4.8 V minimum to 5.2 V maximum, measured at test current IZ = 0.5 mA. This tight 4.9 V ±0.2 V band supports precision voltage reference designs where ±4% tolerance is insufficient. The actual VZ of each unit falls within this window and is verified during production screening.
Does the HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E require a minimum Zener current to maintain regulation?
Yes-the HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E maintains stable Zener voltage across a wide current range from 1 nA to 1 mA due to its semi-logarithmic VZ-IZ linearity. Unlike conventional Zeners, it does not require a fixed minimum current (e.g., 5 mA) to enter regulation; operation at 100 nA still yields predictable VZ within spec, making it ideal for ultra-low-power biasing.
What is the thermal performance of the HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E in its URP package?
The HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and a power dissipation limit of 150 mW at Ta = 25°C, derating linearly to zero at 150°C (per Fig.3 in REJ03G1216-0500). Its URP package provides sufficient thermal path for ambient temperatures up to +85°C at ≤100 mW dissipation, assuming standard 1-oz copper on FR-4.
How does the noise performance of the HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E compare to standard Zener diodes?
The HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise voltage of the legacy HZU series, due to optimized epitaxial planar junction design and hard-knee structure. This reduction directly lowers RMS noise in precision analog signal chains-for example, reducing integrated noise in a 10 Hz–10 kHz bandwidth by >10 dB versus BZX84-C4V7LT1G.
Is the HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-the HZU5.1B2-90TRF-E is RoHS compliant and lead-free, consistent with Renesas Electronics' environmental policy and documented in their official product change notices. The "-E" suffix in the part number denotes lead-free packaging, and the URP package uses matte tin termination per JEDEC J-STD-020.
