Product details
Overview
TLZ22C-GS18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a precision small-signal Zener diode in MiniMELF (SOD-80) package, rated for 21.08–22.17 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA test current, with dynamic resistance of 30 Ω and reverse leakage ≤0.04 μA at 20 V, used for low-noise voltage reference and stabilization in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the TLZ22C-GS18 datasheet, TLZ22C-GS18 pinout, TLZ22C-GS18 application, or TLZ22C-GS18 equivalent, key selection considerations include its tight 5% Zener tolerance band, ultra-low noise performance, high stability over temperature, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 8 mm tape reels.
Technical Context
The TLZ22C-GS18 operates as a single-element, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable voltage regulation in low-current, high-precision analog circuits. Its design features a sharp reverse breakdown characteristic and low dynamic impedance to maintain regulation accuracy under varying load conditions.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near +0.04 × 10⁻⁴/K at 22 V, enabling predictable drift behavior in temperature-sensitive references. The device is qualified per J-STD-020 MSL level 1 and rated for junction temperatures up to 175 °C, supporting operation in industrial and automotive ambient environments.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MiniMELF (SOD-80) package: cylindrical glass-body diode with axial symmetry; cathode identified by a dark band near one end. No polarity-specific pins - anode and cathode are terminal ends of the glass-encapsulated die.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side in reverse-biased Zener configuration |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential side; voltage referenced to this node in regulation circuits |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very sharp reverse characteristic | Enables clean, low-hysteresis voltage clamping critical for precision reference designs |
| Low reverse current level | 0.04 μA max at 20 V supports microamp-level biasing in ultra-low-power sensor interfaces |
| Very high stability | Long-term Zener voltage drift <0.1% after 1000 h aging - suitable for metrology-grade references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C22LT1G | SC-70 package, 20–24 V VZ range, 90 Ω ZZ, 100 nA IR at 17 V | Higher dynamic impedance limits use in high-accuracy feedback; smaller footprint suits space-constrained boards | Select when board area is critical and ±2% regulation tolerance is acceptable |
| MMBZ5246B | SOT-23 package, 20.8–23.2 V VZ, 35 Ω ZZ, 0.1 μA IR at 17 V | Higher leakage and wider VZ spread reduce stability in low-drift references | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where long-term drift is not monitored |
Compared with TLZ22C-GS18, BZX84-C22LT1G offers smaller size but sacrifices regulation precision and thermal stability, while MMBZ5246B trades off leakage and tolerance for broader availability and lower unit cost - TLZ22C-GS18 remains optimal for industrial-grade voltage reference integrity.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of TLZ22C-GS18?
The TLZ22C-GS18 has a nominal Zener voltage range of 21.08 V to 22.17 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±2.5% tolerance about the 21.625 V midpoint. This tight specification is confirmed in the Vishay TLZ-Series datasheet Rev. 2.6 (Document 85635), Table on page 3 for part TLZ22C.
Does TLZ22C-GS18 require derating above 25 °C ambient?
Yes - TLZ22C-GS18 must be derated linearly above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 1 in the datasheet: total power dissipation decreases from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 125 °C, yielding a derating factor of 4.0 mW/°C. This applies to standard PCB mounting (50 mm × 50 mm × 1.6 mm FR-4).
Is TLZ22C-GS18 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - TLZ22C-GS18 complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Vishay's material declaration (Doc. 99912). The MiniMELF package uses UL 94 V-0 molding compound and lead-free matte tin terminations.
What is the maximum forward voltage of TLZ22C-GS18?
The maximum forward voltage of TLZ22C-GS18 is 1.5 V at IF = 200 mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (page 2 of datasheet 85635). This value is consistent across the entire TLZ-Series family.
Can TLZ22C-GS18 be used in series for higher-voltage references?
Yes - TLZ22C-GS18 may be connected in series to achieve higher composite Zener voltages, provided current balancing resistors are used and total power dissipation remains within derated limits. Each device retains its individual 30 Ω dynamic resistance and 0.04 μA leakage specification.
