Product details
Overview
BAP64-05W from NXP Semiconductors is a silicon PIN diode in common-cathode dual configuration housed in an SOT323 package, rated for 100 V reverse voltage, 100 mA forward current, and operation up to 3 GHz. It delivers low diode capacitance (0.23–0.35 pF at VR = 20 V), low forward resistance (0.7–1.35 Ω at IF = 100 mA), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive RF switching.
For engineers reviewing the BAP64-05W datasheet, BAP64-05W pinout, BAP64-05W application, or BAP64-05W equivalent, key selection criteria include RF isolation performance (up to −25 dB at 1 GHz), insertion loss behavior across bias conditions, charge carrier lifetime (1.55 µs), and SOT323 thermal resistance (250 K/W).
Technical Context
The BAP64-05W integrates two identical planar PIN diodes sharing a single cathode terminal, enabling compact series-shunt RF switch topologies. Its intrinsic layer enables voltage-controlled RF resistance with minimal capacitive reactance across 1 MHz–3 GHz.
Designed for current-biased operation, it exhibits monotonic reduction in forward resistance (rD) from 40 Ω at 0.5 mA to 0.7 Ω at 100 mA and maintains sub-10 µA reverse leakage at 20 V - critical for high-linearity attenuator staging and T/R switching in 50 Ω systems.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF PIN diode switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BAR63-03W | Single-diode SOT323; 75 V VR, 100 mA IF, higher Cd (0.45 pF @ 20 V) | Lacks common-cathode dual configuration - requires external cathode tie for dual-path use | Select when only one RF path needs switching and board area permits discrete cathode routing |
| ON Semiconductor MMBD640L | Single-diode SOT23; 75 V VR, 100 mA IF, lower rD (0.5 Ω typ), no AEC-Q101 rating | Higher thermal resistance (350 K/W) and non-automotive qualified - unsuitable for under-hood deployment | Select for cost-sensitive industrial test gear where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with BAR63-03W and MMBD640L, the BAP64-05W uniquely combines dual-anode/common-cathode topology, 100 V blocking, AEC-Q101 compliance, and sub-0.35 pF capacitance - making it the only option for space-constrained, high-isolation automotive RF switches requiring single-package dual-path control.
