Product details
Overview
BAP64LX from NXP Semiconductors is a silicon PIN diode in a DFN1006D-2 (SOD882D) ultra-small SMD package, designed as a voltage-controlled RF resistor for high-frequency switching and attenuation. It delivers 0.17 pF typical diode capacitance at 20 V reverse bias, 2.6 Ω typical forward resistance at 10 mA, and supports operation up to 2.45 GHz with 14 dB isolation and 0.24 dB insertion loss at full conduction - enabling compact RF front-end designs in mobile and automotive transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the BAP64LX datasheet, BAP64LX pinout, BAP64LX application, or BAP64LX equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, sub-1 nH series inductance, low 0.95 V forward voltage at 100 mA, and precise 1.0 µs charge carrier lifetime - all critical for high-isolation, low-loss RF switch design in space-constrained 5G and LTE modules.
Technical Context
The BAP64LX operates as a current-controlled variable RF resistor: forward bias modulates its intrinsic region conductivity to achieve tunable attenuation or switching states. Its planar PIN structure enables stable performance across DC–2.45 GHz with minimal parasitic inductance (0.4 nH) and tightly controlled capacitance roll-off versus reverse voltage.
Thermal design relies on direct junction-to-solder-point conduction via its leadless DFN1006D-2 package, delivering 56 K/W thermal resistance. The device sustains 100 mA forward current and 60 V reverse voltage while maintaining junction temperatures between –65 °C and +150 °C - supporting automotive under-hood deployment.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the BAP64LX?
The BAP64LX is characterized for operation up to 2.45 GHz, with 14 dB isolation and 0.24 dB insertion loss specified at that frequency. Its 0.17 pF diode capacitance and 0.4 nH series inductance support stable RF performance through the entire 5G FR1 band (up to 3.8 GHz), though published specifications are validated to 2.45 GHz per the official datasheet.
Does the BAP64LX require external bias circuitry for RF switching applications?
Yes, the BAP64LX requires a DC bias network to control forward current - typically a series resistor and RF choke from a GPIO or DAC output. The BAP64LX itself contains no integrated bias control; its 100 mA absolute maximum forward current and 0.95 V forward voltage at 100 mA define the external driver requirements for reliable conduction-state operation.
How is the cathode identified on the BAP64LX DFN1006D-2 package?
The cathode of the BAP64LX is marked by a visible bar on the top surface of the DFN1006D-2 package, aligned with pin 1 per the official NXP pinning diagram. This marking bar corresponds to the cathode terminal listed in Table 1 of the BAP64LX datasheet and must be oriented toward the ground or bias-return net in PCB layout.
Is the BAP64LX suitable for high-reliability automotive applications?
Yes, the BAP64LX is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life required for automotive electronic components. Its –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and 56 K/W thermal resistance to solder point support under-hood deployment in cellular telematics modules.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point for the BAP64LX?
The BAP64LX has a typical thermal resistance of 56 K/W from junction to solder point (Rth(j-sp)), measured under standard mounting conditions on a 10 mm² 1-oz copper pad. This value enables direct thermal coupling to the PCB, eliminating the need for thermal vias in most handheld and module-level applications where ambient temperature remains below 85 °C.
