Product details
Overview
HZU6.8B3JTRF-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications, with nominal Zener voltage 6.8 V, dynamic resistance 450 Ω at IZT = 5 mA, temperature coefficient −0.035 %/°C, and ultra-small URP (SC-76A) surface-mount package.
For engineers reviewing the HZU6.8B3JTRF-E datasheet, HZU6.8B3JTRF-E pinout, HZU6.8B3JTRF-E application, or HZU6.8B3JTRF-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical characteristics, thermal behavior, noise performance, and direct replacement guidance for precision analog reference design and low-drift biasing circuits.
Technical Context
The HZU6.8B3JTRF-E belongs to the HZU-LL series, engineered for superior noise suppression-approximately 1/3 to 1/10 lower than standard HZU diodes-and reduced temperature drift, with γZ ≈ −0.035 %/°C. Its semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity holds from 1 nA to 1 mA, enabling stable operation across wide current ranges.
Designed for high-stability analog references, it features hard-knee Zener breakdown with minimal knee curvature, low dynamic impedance (450 Ω at 5 mA), and tight VZ tolerance (±3% at IZ = 5 mA). The URP package ensures minimal thermal resistance and board-space efficiency in compact PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 6.8 V ±3% at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise reference point for analog circuit biasing and regulation |
| Dynamic Resistance ZZT | 450 Ω typ. at IZT = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient γZ | −0.035 %/°C - enables <1 mV/°C drift over industrial temperature range |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤100 nA at VR = 4.0 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Power Dissipation Pd | 150 mW max at Ta = 25°C - sets safe DC operating envelope without derating |
| Junction Temperature Tj | 150°C max - supports reliable operation in thermally constrained embedded systems |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5235B-7-F | Zener voltage 6.8 V ±5%, ZZT = 13 Ω at 20 mA, higher test current, higher noise, no specified γZ | Higher power dissipation (350 mW), less suitable for micro-power designs below 100 µA | Prefer when higher current drive and lower ZZT outweigh noise and thermal drift concerns |
| BZX84-C6V8 | Zener voltage 6.8 V ±5%, ZZT = 40 Ω at 5 mA, larger SOT-23 package, γZ not characterized | Larger footprint (3.0 × 1.4 mm), higher thermal mass, unsuitable for ultra-dense layouts | Select when legacy compatibility and broader distributor availability are prioritized over size and noise |

Yes, the HZU6.8B3JTRF-E exhibits semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity down to IZ = 1 nA, enabling stable reference behavior at microampere and sub-microampere bias levels. This capability is explicitly documented in the Features section of the HZU-LL datasheet and validated by Fig.1 Zener current vs. Zener voltage curve.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HZU6.8B3JTRF-E?
The maximum junction temperature (Tj) for HZU6.8B3JTRF-E is 150°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Renesas datasheet REJ03G1216-0500. This rating allows reliable operation in industrial environments up to +85°C ambient when mounted on standard FR-4 PCB with typical copper pour.
Is HZU6.8B3JTRF-E RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, HZU6.8B3JTRF-E is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Renesas confirms environmental compliance per EU RoHS Directive in its general product notices, and the "-E" suffix in the part number denotes lead-free, halogen-free packaging consistent with Renesas' standard manufacturing process for the HZU-LL series.
What is the cathode marking convention for HZU6.8B3JTRF-E?
The cathode of HZU6.8B3JTRF-E is marked with a band or dot adjacent to Pin 1, as shown in the Pin Arrangement diagram on page 1 of the Renesas datasheet REJ03G1216-0500. Pin 1 is the cathode terminal, Pin 2 is the anode, and the marking aligns with JEDEC SC-76A standard orientation for URP packages.
