Product details
Overview
ZM4747A L0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 W, 20 V ±5% surface-mount Zener diode in MELF glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications with 12.5 mA test current, 22 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 15.2 V maximum reverse leakage voltage. It operates across -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range and is used in DC/DC converter feedback loops and low-voltage adapter references.
For engineers reviewing the ZM4747A L0G datasheet, ZM4747A L0G pinout, ZM4747A L0G application, or ZM4747A L0G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V nominal Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, 1 W power rating, MELF hermetic packaging, and verified thermal resistance of 170°C/W - all critical for stable low-power voltage reference design in space-constrained industrial power supplies.
Technical Context
The ZM4747A L0G functions as a single-die, cathode-banded, unidirectional voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its electrical behavior is defined by tightly controlled Zener voltage (20 V ±5%), low dynamic impedance (22 Ω at 12.5 mA), and guaranteed leakage performance (≤5 µA at 15.2 V).
Designed for surface-mount assembly on PCBs using J-STD-002-compliant soldering, it leverages hermetically sealed MELF glass construction to ensure long-term stability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure - essential for industrial-grade DC/DC converters and adapter circuits requiring repeatable regulation over lifetime.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4747A | Same 20 V ±5%, but DO-41 through-hole package; higher RθJA (~500°C/W) | Requires PCB through-holes and manual assembly; unsuitable for automated SMT lines | Select only if legacy through-hole design or prototyping without reflow capability |
| BZX55C20 | 20 V ±5%, DO-35 glass package; 500 mW rating; 25 Ω Zener impedance | Lower power handling limits use to sub-500 mW reference paths; less thermally robust | Choose when board space allows larger DO-35 footprint and thermal load is <0.5 W |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the ZM4747A L0G?
The ZM4747A L0G has a nominal Zener voltage of 20 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 19.0 V and 21.0 V at 12.5 mA test current under 25°C conditions. This tolerance is confirmed in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version E2301 and applies to all units shipped under the ZM4747A L0G ordering code.
Is the ZM4747A L0G compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the ZM4747A L0G features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards and is rated for lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature. Its MELF glass package withstands thermal shock during standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant reflow cycles without cracking or parameter shift.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the ZM4747A L0G at 70°C ambient?
At 70°C ambient, the ZM4747A L0G must be derated linearly from its 1 W rating at 25°C using its 170°C/W thermal resistance. The allowable power drops to approximately 0.74 W (1 W × [1 − (70−25)/170]), ensuring junction temperature remains below 175°C. Full 1 W operation requires ambient ≤25°C or additional board-level thermal management.
Does the ZM4747A L0G have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, the ZM4747A L0G uses a cathode band - a distinct black circumferential stripe near one end of the MELF glass body - to indicate the cathode terminal. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-213AB mechanical standards and must be oriented toward the higher-potential node in shunt regulator configurations to ensure proper reverse-bias operation.
How does the ZM4747A L0G compare to the ZM4747A L0 in terms of electrical performance?
The ZM4747A L0G and ZM4747A L0 are electrically and mechanically identical per Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering information note: "L0/L0G refer to physically identical parts without any differences." Both share identical Zener voltage, impedance, leakage, thermal, and packaging specifications - differing only in tape-and-reel packaging labeling for logistics tracking.
