Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation, with nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V at 175 mA test current, ±5% tolerance, and dynamic impedance of 1.0 Ω at IZT - used in precision voltage regulation for avionics power conditioning and radiation-hardened sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR equivalent, this part supports high-reliability design where failure tolerance, wide temperature operation (–65 °C to +175 °C), and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 are mandatory.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse breakdown mode, with regulated output maintained across a broad current range (10% to 50% of IZM) and stable temperature coefficient of ±0.05%/°C. Its voidless-glass hermetic construction ensures long-term parameter stability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure.
The internal Category I metallurgical bond and triple-layer passivation provide robustness against mechanical stress and surface contamination. It delivers low dynamic impedance (1.0 Ω) at 175 mA, enabling tight regulation in low-noise analog supply rails and reference buffers for ADCs and DACs.

JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tolerance applies at 25 °C and 175 mA test current, and remains stable across the full operating temperature range due to its low temperature coefficient of ±0.05%/°C.
Is JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR suitable for space applications?
Yes, JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/356. Its voidless-glass hermetic package and Category I metallurgical bond make it suitable for LEO satellite command decoder references and payload sensor biasing.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR is 700 mA, calculated from its 5 W power rating and 6.8 V nominal Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value assumes operation at TEC = 140 °C and linear derating to zero at +175 °C.
Does JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR require external ESD protection?
No, JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR is nonsensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 and does not require external protection. Its triple-layer passivation and hermetic construction prevent electrostatic damage during handling and assembly - verified across 100% of production lots.
What package outline does JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR use?
JANTXV1N4954DUS/TR uses the "E" package (also designated "D-5B"), a surface-mount voidless-glass outline with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb. The cathode is marked by a visible band, and the device is supplied in EIA-481-B compliant tape-and-reel format.
