DESCRIPTION APPEARANCE 
  
  
The popular 1N935 thru 1N940B series of Zero-TC Reference Diodes 
DO-7 
provides a selection of 9.0 V nominal voltages and temperature coefficients 
o
(DO-204AA) 
to as low as 0.0002%/ C for minimal voltage change with temperature when 
operated at 7.5 mA.  These glass axial-leaded DO-7 reference diodes are 
also available in JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV military qualifications.  For 
commercial applications it is also available as RoHS Compliant with an e3 
suffix (not applicable to military).  Microsemi also offers numerous other 
Zener Reference Diode products for a variety of other voltages from 6.2 V 
to 200 V.

NOTES:       1.   When ordering devices with tighter tolerances than specified, use a nominal voltage of 9.2V and add a hyphenated suffix   
                           to the part number for desired tolerance at the end of the part number, e.g. 1N938B-2%, 1N939B-1%, 1N939B-1-1%, etc. 
o
                                  2.     Measured by superimposing 0.75 mA ac rms on 7.5 mA dc @ 25 C. 
3. The maximum allowable change observed over the entire temperature range i.e., the diode voltage will not exceed the 
specified mV change at any discrete temperature between the established limits. 
4. Voltage measurements to be performed 15 seconds after application of dc current. 
   5.    The 1N935B, 937B, 938B, 939B, 940B also have military qualification to MIL-PRF-19500/156 up to the JANTXV level by
           adding JAN, JANTX, or JANTXV prefixes to part numbers as well as -1 suffix, e.g. JANTX1N938B-1, etc. 
6. Designate Radiation Hardened devices with RH prefix instead of IN, i.e. RH938A instead of 1N938A. 
GRAPHS 
 
    
The curve shown in Figure 1 is typical of the diode series and 
greatly simplifies the estimation of the Temperature Coefficient 
(TC) when the diode is operated at currents other than 7.5mA. 
EXAMPLE:  A diode in this series is operated at a current of 
7.5mA and has specified Temperature Coefficient (TC) limits of +/-
o
0.005%/ C.  To obtain the typical Temperature Coefficient limits for 
this same diode operated at a current of 6.0mA, the new TC limits 
o
(%/ C) can be estimated using the graph in FIGURE 1. 
At a test current of 6.0mA the change in Temperature Coefficient 
o
(TC) is approximately 0.0009%. C.  The algebraic sum of +/-
o o
C and 0.0009%/ C gives the new estimated limits of 
0.005%
+0.0041%/oC and -0.0059%/oC.
