Product details
Overview
HZU7A1LTRF-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications, with nominal Zener voltage 7.5 V (VZ = 7.5 V at IZ = 0.5 mA), dynamic resistance ZZT = 400 Ω (typ.), and ultra-small URP package (SC-76A). It delivers low noise voltage (~1/3–1/10 of HZU series) and reduced temperature coefficient (~1/2 of HZU series), targeting precision analog front-ends in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the HZU7A1LTRF-E datasheet, HZU7A1LTRF-E pinout, HZU7A1LTRF-E application, or HZU7A1LTRF-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity (1 nA to 1 mA), 150 mW power dissipation, −55°C to +150°C storage range, and suitability for low-current, low-drift reference designs requiring stable knee behavior.
Technical Context
The HZU7A1LTRF-E operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, designed for DC-biased reverse breakdown operation. Its Zener voltage exhibits semi-logarithmic linearity across an exceptionally wide current range (1 nA to 1 mA), enabling accurate low-current regulation and noise-sensitive biasing.
It features a hard-knee Zener characteristic with minimal curvature near the knee point, supported by low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 400 Ω typ. at IZT = 0.5 mA) and tight VZ tolerance (±0.2 V at IZ = 0.5 mA), distinguishing it from standard soft-knee Zeners used in general-purpose clamping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 7.5 V ±0.2 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise reference level for low-power analog circuits |
| Dynamic Resistance ZZT | 400 Ω (typ.) at IZT = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤100 nA at VR = 5.0 V - enables ultra-low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation Pd | 150 mW (Ta = 25°C) - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in surface-mount layout |
| Junction Temperature Tj | 150°C - supports operation in thermally constrained embedded modules |
| Storage Temperature | −55°C to +150°C - allows use in industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Temperature Coefficient γZ | ≈−2.0 mV/°C (typ., derived from Fig.2 at VZ ≈ 7.5 V) - quantifies drift per degree for stability budgeting |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C7V5LT1G | VZ = 7.5 V ±5%, ZZT = 600 Ω (min), IR ≤ 1 µA at VR = 5.0 V - higher leakage and looser tolerance | General-purpose clamping; not specified for low-noise or hard-knee linearity | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs noise and knee performance requirements |
| MMSZ4689T1G | VZ = 7.5 V ±5%, ZZT = 500 Ω (max), no published low-current linearity or noise data | Standard voltage reference; lacks documented 1 nA–1 mA VZ linearity or γZ optimization | Choose for non-critical biasing where full HZU-LL series performance is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX84-C7V5LT1G and MMSZ4689T1G, the HZU7A1LTRF-E provides verified hard-knee linearity down to 1 nA, 3× lower noise, and 2× lower temperature coefficient - critical for metrology-grade analog signal chains where reference integrity directly impacts measurement resolution.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and test condition for HZU7A1LTRF-E?
The nominal Zener voltage of HZU7A1LTRF-E is 7.5 V, measured at a test current IZ of 0.5 mA under DC conditions (per REJ03G1216-0500 Rev.5.00). The device guarantees VZ between 7.3 V and 7.7 V at this condition, supporting tight-tolerance analog reference design. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official Renesas datasheet for HZU7A1LTRF-E.
Does HZU7A1LTRF-E support operation at very low reverse currents?
Yes, HZU7A1LTRF-E exhibits semi-logarithmic VZ–IZ linearity from 1 nA to 1 mA, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the HZU7A1LTRF-E datasheet. This enables stable voltage reference behavior even in ultra-low-power bias networks where current is limited to nanoamps - a capability not guaranteed by standard Zener diodes.
What is the package type and mounting compatibility of HZU7A1LTRF-E?
HZU7A1LTRF-E uses the Ultra Small Resin Package (URP), JEITA code SC-76A, with land pattern dimensions matching standard SOT-323 footprints. Its 2-pin configuration (cathode/anode), 2.3 × 1.2 mm outline, and 0.65 mm pitch are compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering processes used for surface-mount discrete semiconductors like the HZU7A1LTRF-E.
How does the noise performance of HZU7A1LTRF-E compare to earlier HZU-series diodes?
HZU7A1LTRF-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise voltage of the legacy HZU series, as documented in the Features section of its datasheet. This improvement stems from epitaxial planar process enhancements and optimized junction design - making HZU7A1LTRF-E suitable for noise-sensitive applications such as high-resolution ADC references where the HZU7A1LTRF-E's low-noise trait directly improves effective number of bits (ENOB).
Is HZU7A1LTRF-E rated for automotive or extended temperature applications?
HZU7A1LTRF-E has a storage temperature range of −55°C to +150°C and a maximum junction temperature of 150°C, but Renesas classifies it as a "Standard" quality grade product intended for computers, office equipment, and industrial instruments - not automotive or safety-critical systems. Its datasheet contains no AEC-Q200 qualification or automotive-specific reliability testing, so HZU7A1LTRF-E should not be deployed in vehicle ECUs without additional validation.
