Product details
Overview
BAR43CFILM from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel small-signal Schottky diode in SOT23-3L package, designed for low-voltage, high-speed switching applications. It features a maximum forward voltage of 0.33 V at 2 mA, 30 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 150 °C junction temperature rating, and 7 pF junction capacitance at 1 V reverse bias - enabling use in RF detector circuits and high-frequency signal clamping.
For engineers reviewing the BAR43CFILM datasheet, BAR43CFILM pinout, BAR43CFILM application, or BAR43CFILM equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low VF at microamp-level currents, negligible reverse recovery time (<80 ps), thermal resistance of 500 °C/W on standard FR4, and compatibility with lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C.
Technical Context
The BAR43CFILM integrates two independent Schottky junctions in a single SOT23-3L package with common cathode configuration (Pin 1: Anode A, Pin 2: Cathode, Pin 3: Anode B). Its metal–silicon junction enables sub-0.4 V turn-on at low currents and eliminates minority-carrier storage delay.
It operates within –65 °C to +150 °C storage range and supports surge forward current up to 0.75 A (10 ms sine half-wave). Thermal design requires attention to pad copper area: Rth(j-a) drops from 500 °C/W to ~300 °C/W with ≥25 mm² Cu per lead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VF (max) | 0.33 V at IF = 2 mA - enables efficient signal detection below 0.5 V input levels |
| VRRM | 30 V - supports operation in 24 V industrial bus interfaces and RF bias networks |
| IR (max) | 100 µA at Tj = 100 °C - ensures stable DC blocking in temperature-critical sensor front-ends |
| Cj | 7 pF at VR = 1 V - minimizes capacitive loading in 45 MHz detector and mixer applications |
| trr | <80 ps - allows clean zero-crossing detection in fast-switching clock recovery paths |
| Ptot | 250 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - limits usable continuous power to ~100 mW in compact PCB layouts |
| Rth(j-a) | 500 °C/W - mandates thermal pad design for >50 mW average dissipation |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3L package with gull-wing leads, JEDEC-compliant footprint (D = 2.75–3.04 mm, E = 1.2–1.6 mm, e1 = 1.7–2.1 mm), UL94 V0 epoxy body, and lead-free termination.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode A | First Schottky junction anode - connects to RF input or signal source in detector topology |
| 2 | Cathode (common) | Shared cathode node - ties both diodes to bias rail or ground reference |
| 3 | Anode B | Second Schottky junction anode - used for dual-path clamping or balanced detection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low forward voltage | 0.26 V (typ) at 2 mA - reduces detection threshold in battery-powered RF sensors |
| Fast switching performance | Reverse recovery time <80 ps - preserves signal integrity in 45 MHz AM demodulation |
| Thermally robust construction | 150 °C max junction temperature - supports operation in enclosed industrial enclosures |
| Surface-mount compatibility | SOT23-3L footprint - enables automated placement in high-density RF modules |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | ECOPACK®2 grade - meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) |
Applications
| RF Signal Detector | Low-Voltage Clamp |
|---|---|

| High-Speed Logic Interface | DC-DC Converter Feedback |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting between 1.8 V logic and 3.3 V I/O in FPGA configuration interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive clamping diode preventing overshoot on bidirectional data lines.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky detector diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAR43FILM | Same die, different marking (D95 vs DB2); identical electrical specs and thermal behavior | No functional difference - used interchangeably in same PCB footprints | Select when BAR43CFILM is unavailable; no redesign required |
| NSR0230HT1G | Single diode, 30 V VRRM, 0.32 V VF @ 10 mA, SOD-323 package, higher IR (2 µA @ 25 °C) | Lacks dual-anode configuration; unsuitable for balanced detector topologies | Use only for single-path clamping where space constraints prohibit SOT23-3L |
Compared with BAR43FILM, BAR43CFILM offers identical performance but distinct traceability; versus NSR0230HT1G, it provides dual-anode flexibility and lower leakage at elevated temperatures - critical for precision RF detection.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of BAR43CFILM?
BAR43CFILM uses a common-cathode dual-Schottky configuration in SOT23-3L: Pin 1 is Anode A, Pin 2 is shared Cathode, and Pin 3 is Anode B. This layout supports balanced detection and dual-path clamping without external interconnects.
Does BAR43CFILM support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes - BAR43CFILM is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with maximum soldering temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds. Its ECOPACK®2 compliance confirms full RoHS and halogen-free material content.
How does BAR43CFILM differ from BAR42FILM?
BAR43CFILM has lower forward voltage (0.26 V typ at 2 mA) than BAR42FILM (0.35 V typ at 10 mA), optimized for micro-current detection. BAR42 offers higher current capability (IF(AV) = 0.1 A same), but BAR43 excels in ultra-low-threshold RF applications.
Can BAR43CFILM be used in place of a single Schottky diode?
Yes - either anode (Pin 1 or Pin 3) can be used independently with the common cathode (Pin 2), effectively functioning as a single Schottky diode. Unused anode must be left open or tied to cathode; floating anode does not degrade performance.
