Product details
Overview
BAR43AFILM from STMicroelectronics is a single small-signal Schottky diode in SOT23-3L package, designed for low-voltage, high-speed switching applications with 0.33 V max forward voltage at 2 mA, 30 V reverse voltage rating, and 500 nA reverse leakage at 25 °C. It operates up to 150 °C junction temperature and is used in polarity protection and signal clamping circuits in portable power management.
For engineers reviewing the BAR43AFILM datasheet, BAR43AFILM pinout, BAR43AFILM application, or BAR43AFILM equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage at low current (2–15 mA), reverse recovery time (<80 ps), junction capacitance (7 pF @ 1 V), thermal resistance (500 °C/W), and SOT23-3L footprint compatibility.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a metal-to-silicon junction to achieve low turn-on voltage and negligible minority-carrier storage, enabling sub-nanosecond switching. Its 7 pF junction capacitance at 1 V reverse bias and 80 ps reverse recovery time support RF detection and high-frequency rectification up to 45 MHz.
The device is rated for 0.1 A average forward current and 0.75 A non-repetitive surge, with thermal design governed by 500 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance on standard FR4 PCB layout. Maximum junction temperature is limited to 150 °C to prevent thermal runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VF (max) | 0.33 V at IF = 2 mA - enables ultra-low-loss biasing in battery-sensitive signal paths |
| VRRM | 30 V - supports input protection in 3.3 V/5 V logic and USB-powered systems |
| IR (max) | 500 nA at VR = 30 V, Tj = 25 °C - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| trr | 80 ps - allows use in 45 MHz RF envelope detection without waveform distortion |
| CJ | 7 pF at VR = 1 V, f = 1 MHz - maintains signal integrity in HF coupling and clamp circuits |
| Tj (max) | 150 °C - permits operation in thermally constrained spaces like sealed IoT modules |
| Ptot | 250 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - defines maximum continuous dissipation on standard SMT pad layout |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3L surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, UL94 V0 epoxy molding compound, and lead-free finish compliant with ECOPACK® standards. Dimensions per ST DocID3288 Rev 5: D = 2.75–3.04 mm, E = 1.2–1.6 mm, e1 = 1.7–2.1 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward current entry point | Connected to higher-potential node in polarity protection or clamping |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Typically tied to ground or reference rail; carries full reverse voltage when off |
| No Connect (Pin 3) | Unused internal terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating per ST specification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VF at microamp-level currents | 0.26 V typ. at IF = 2 mA - reduces voltage offset in precision analog front-ends |
| Sub-100 ps trr | 80 ps measured at IF = 10 mA, RL = 100 Ω - enables clean edge detection in digital timing circuits |
| 7 pF junction capacitance | Measured at VR = 1 V, 1 MHz - minimizes loading on 45 MHz RF detector outputs |
| 150 °C max junction temperature | Rated for continuous operation without derating in ambient ≤85 °C with standard PCB copper |
| SOT23-3L footprint | Compatible with automated placement and reflow; matches industry-standard 0.65 mm pitch |
Applications

Use Value: 0.26 V VF typ. at 2 mA keeps backup supply dropout below 50 mV, maintaining RTC accuracy. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAR43FILM | Same die, different marking (D95 vs DB1); identical electrical specs and thermal performance | No functional difference; used interchangeably in same PCB designs | Select when BAR43AFILM is unavailable but same SOT23-3L assembly is required |
| NSR0230HT1G | Higher IF(AV) = 0.2 A, VF = 0.32 V @ 10 mA, but CJ = 10 pF - larger junction area | Less suitable for 45 MHz RF detection due to higher capacitance; better for 5 V power path OR-ing | Prefer for higher-current power routing; avoid where <8 pF capacitance is critical |
Compared with BAR43FILM, BAR43AFILM offers identical performance with traceability differentiation; versus NSR0230HT1G, it trades higher current capability for lower capacitance and tighter low-current VF control-critical in RF and precision analog roles.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of BAR43AFILM in SOT23-3L?
BAR43AFILM uses Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = No Connect. This configuration is confirmed in ST's DocID3288 Rev 5 footprint diagram and ordering table. Pin 3 is internally unconnected and must remain unbonded on PCB layout.
Is BAR43AFILM suitable for 45 MHz RF detection?
Yes - its 7 pF junction capacitance at 1 V reverse bias and 80 ps reverse recovery time are explicitly characterized at 45 MHz in ST's datasheet Figure 5 and Table 5. These values ensure minimal signal attenuation and phase shift in AM envelope detectors.
How does BAR43AFILM differ from BAR43FILM?
BAR43AFILM (marking DB1) and BAR43FILM (marking D95) share identical die, electrical specs, thermal ratings, and package. The only difference is traceability marking - both are fully interchangeable in design and manufacturing per ST's ordering table.
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BAR43AFILM?
The maximum continuous forward current is 0.1 A, specified in Table 2 of ST's DocID3288 Rev 5 under IF(AV). Derating is required above 25 °C ambient; at 85 °C, usable current drops to ~65 mA based on Rth(j-a) = 500 °C/W and Tj(max) = 150 °C.
