Product details
Overview
HZU6.8B3TRF-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage stabilization in low-power analog and reference circuits. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 6.86 V to 7.14 V at 5 mA, with dynamic resistance of 30 Ω, power dissipation up to 200 mW, and operates within –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - commonly used in voltage regulation for sensor biasing and ADC reference conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the HZU6.8B3TRF-E datasheet, HZU6.8B3TRF-E pinout, HZU6.8B3TRF-E application, or HZU6.8B3TRF-E equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2.1% at 5 mA), ultra-small URP package footprint (1.55 × 0.80 mm), reverse current ≤2 µA at VR = 5.0 V, and thermal stability for compact DC-DC feedback networks.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs a silicon planar junction structure optimized for stable reverse-breakdown behavior under low-current conditions (IZ = 5 mA). Its design targets high repeatability in voltage regulation across ambient temperatures, supported by a Zener voltage temperature coefficient near 0 mV/°C (per Fig.2 for ~6.8 V devices).
The device is rated for 200 mW power dissipation at 25 °C, derating linearly above Ta = 25 °C per Fig.3, and features a cathode-anode terminal configuration compatible with automated SMT placement. It is not intended for surge suppression or high-current shunt regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage stabilization applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C6V8LT1G | Zener voltage 6.46–7.14 V (±5%), rd = 40 Ω, SOT-23 package (2.9 × 1.3 mm) | Larger footprint; higher dynamic resistance reduces regulation precision in low-current feedback | Preferred when board space allows larger package and ±5% tolerance is acceptable |
| MMSZ4688T1G | Zener voltage 6.46–7.14 V (±5%), rd = 50 Ω, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm) | Higher leakage (IR ≤ 5 µA at 5.0 V); less suitable for ultra-low-power sleep modes | Selected for cost-sensitive consumer applications where leakage <5 µA is tolerable |
Compared with HZU6.8B3TRF-E, BZX84-C6V8LT1G and MMSZ4688T1G offer wider voltage tolerance and larger packages but lack its 30 Ω dynamic resistance and B3-grade ±2.1% tight tolerance - making HZU6.8B3TRF-E preferable for precision analog references where regulation stability and miniaturization are critical.
