Product details
Overview
BAR43FILM 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 repetitive peak reverse voltage, 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 BAR43FILM datasheet, BAR43FILM pinout, BAR43FILM application, or BAR43FILM equivalent, key selection criteria include its low VF at microamp-level bias, fast recovery time (80 ps), minimal junction capacitance (7 pF), thermal resistance (500 °C/W), and SOT23-3L footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The BAR43FILM employs a metal-to-silicon Schottky barrier structure enabling negligible minority-carrier storage and sub-nanosecond reverse recovery. Its low turn-on voltage arises from optimized anode metallization and shallow junction depth, supporting operation down to 2 mA forward current while maintaining stable VF across temperature.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-a) = 500 °C/W on FR4 epoxy board with recommended pad layout, and absolute maximum ratings include 0.1 A continuous forward current and 0.75 A non-repetitive surge current (10 ms sine). The device is rated for soldering up to 260 °C for 10 s.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 30 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in clamp/protection circuits |
| VF (max) | 0.33 V at IF = 2 mA - Enables efficient signal-level rectification and low-loss biasing in ultra-low-power receivers |
| IR (max) | 500 nA at VR = 30 V, Tj = 25 °C - Ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance sensing nodes and battery-backed circuits |
| trr | 80 ps - Supports RF detection and high-frequency signal routing without distortion or timing skew |
| CJ | 7 pF at VR = 1 V, f = 1 MHz - Limits capacitive loading on high-speed data lines and antenna interfaces |
| Tj (max) | 150 °C - Allows deployment in thermally demanding environments such as automotive body control modules |
| Ptot | 250 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - Sets practical power handling limit for continuous operation without heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3L surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, UL94 V0-compliant epoxy body, and lead-free construction per ECOPACK® standards. Dimensions conform to JEDEC MO-215, with typical footprint area of 2.75 mm × 1.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward current entry point | Connected to higher-potential node in polarity protection or clamping; requires low-inductance trace routing |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Typically tied to ground or reference rail; serves as clamp reference in ESD protection paths |
| No Connect (Pin 3) | Unused internal terminal | Electrically isolated; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress on die bond wire |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low forward voltage | 0.26 V typ. at 2 mA - Reduces conduction loss in battery-fed signal paths where voltage headroom is <0.5 V |
| Sub-100 ps reverse recovery | 80 ps - Eliminates tail current in RF detector stages, preserving signal integrity above 100 MHz |
| Low junction capacitance | 7 pF - Minimizes signal attenuation and phase shift in 45 MHz AM/FM demodulator front-ends |
| High-temperature operation | 150 °C max Tj - Supports placement near heat-generating ICs in compact DC/DC converter modules |
| ECOPACK® lead-free compliance | Meets RoHS and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles - Ensures manufacturability in standard SMT lines without process deviation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSR0230HT1G | 0.45 V VF max at 2 mA; 10 pF CJ; SOD-523 package | Higher VF increases conduction loss in micro-power bias networks | Prefer when board space is more constrained than voltage budget |
| BAT54C,215 | Dual common-cathode configuration; 0.33 V VF max per diode; 10 pF CJ | Requires layout redesign for single-diode use; adds unused channel capacitance | Choose when dual-diode topology matches existing schematic reuse needs |
Compared with NSR0230HT1G and BAT54C,215, BAR43FILM delivers the lowest VF at sub-mA bias and smallest junction capacitance in SOT23-3L, making it optimal for precision low-current clamping and RF detection where both voltage headroom and bandwidth are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for BAR43FILM?
The BAR43FILM has a continuous forward current rating of 0.1 A at ambient temperature (Tamb = 25 °C). Derating is required above 25 °C per the thermal resistance specification (Rth(j-a) = 500 °C/W); at 85 °C ambient, maximum usable IF(AV) drops to approximately 50 mA to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C.
Is BAR43FILM suitable for RF detector applications at 45 MHz?
Yes. With 7 pF junction capacitance at 1 V reverse bias and 80 ps reverse recovery time, BAR43FILM meets the low-capacitance and fast-response requirements for AM envelope detection at 45 MHz. ST's datasheet confirms >80% detection efficiency under 2 V input, 50 Ω source, and 300 pF load conditions.
Does BAR43FILM have a specified reverse recovery charge (Qrr)?
No. The BAR43FILM datasheet does not specify Qrr because Schottky diodes are majority-carrier devices with no minority-carrier storage; reverse recovery is governed by junction capacitance discharge rather than stored charge removal. trr = 80 ps reflects the RC-limited discharge time, not Qrr-driven delay.
Can BAR43FILM be used in place of BAR42FILM in existing designs?
Yes, with functional trade-offs. BAR43FILM offers lower VF (0.33 V max at 2 mA vs. 0.40 V for BAR42), but slightly higher VF at higher currents (0.45 V at 100 mA vs. 0.40 V). Pinout and package are identical; substitution is electrically safe where low-bias VF is prioritized over high-current conduction loss.
