Measured by superimposing 0.75 mA ac rms on 7.5 mA dc @ 25 C.
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.
Voltage measurements to be performed 15 seconds after application of dc current.
The 1N941B-1, 1N943B-1, 1N944B-1, and 1N945B-1 only are military qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/157 up to the JANS level.

Change in temperature coefficient (mV/

Change in temperature coefficient (%/
o
C)
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 7.5 mA.
EXAMPLE: A diode in this series is operated at a
current of 7.5 mA and has specified Temperature
Coefficient (TC) limits of +/-0.002 %/
o
C. To obtain
the typical Temperature Coefficient limits for this
same diode operated at a current of 6.0mA, the
o
new TC limits (%/ C) can be estimated using the
graph in Figure 1.
At a test current of 6.0 mA the change in
Temperature Coefficient (TC) is approximately –
o
o
0.0009 %. C. The algebraic sum of +/-0.002 % C
and –0.0009 %/
o
C gives the new estimated limits of
+0.0011 %/oC and -0.0029 %/oC.

This curve in Figure 2 illustrates the change of
diode voltage arising from the effect of
impedance. It is in effect, an exploded view of
the Zener operating region of the I-V
characteristic.
In conjunction with Figure 1, this curve can be
used to estimate total voltage regulation under
conditions of both varying temperature and
current.
