Product details
Overview
BAR43SFILM from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel small-signal Schottky diode in SOT23-3L package, designed for low-voltage, high-speed switching applications. It features a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.33 V at 2 mA, 30 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and 7 pF junction capacitance at 1 V reverse bias - enabling use in RF detector circuits and low-loss signal clamping.
For engineers reviewing the BAR43SFILM datasheet, BAR43SFILM pinout, BAR43SFILM application, or BAR43SFILM equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low VF at microamp-level currents, negligible reverse recovery time (<80 ps), tight thermal resistance (500 °C/W), and compatibility with lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C.
Technical Context
The BAR43SFILM employs a metal-to-silicon Schottky barrier structure optimized for minimal conduction loss and near-zero minority-carrier storage. Its fast switching behavior stems from majority-carrier conduction and absence of reverse recovery charge, making it suitable for high-frequency detection and sampling circuits.
It operates within a junction temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C and is rated for continuous forward current of 0.1 A. Thermal performance is specified with Rth(j-a) = 500 °C/W on an epoxy FR4 board using ST's recommended pad layout, supporting stable operation under pulsed or low-duty-cycle conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 30 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating limit in clamp/detector configurations |
| VF (max) | 0.33 V at IF = 2 mA - Enables efficient signal rectification at very low drive levels, critical for RF envelope detection |
| IR (max) | 100 µA at Tj = 100 °C - Low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| CJ | 7 pF at VR = 1 V - Minimizes capacitive loading in 45 MHz+ detection paths (e.g., AM/FM demodulation) |
| trr | <80 ps - Supports sub-nanosecond switching; eliminates timing skew in pulse shaping and sampling gates |
| Ptot | 250 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - Limits power handling in compact SOT23-3L footprint; requires thermal-aware PCB layout |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3L surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, UL94 V0-compliant 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Forward current entry point; connected to input signal or bias rail in detector/clamp topologies |
| 2 | Cathode | Current return path; tied to ground or reference node to establish unidirectional conduction |
| 3 | No Connection (NC) | Internally unconnected terminal; must remain floating - not used for thermal pad or grounding |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low forward voltage | 0.26 V (typ.) at 2 mA - reduces signal loss in weak-input RF detectors and precision clamp circuits |
| Negligible switching losses | trr < 80 ps - eliminates tail current and enables clean edge transitions in sampling applications |
| Low junction capacitance | 7 pF at 1 V - maintains high-frequency response without parasitic roll-off in 45 MHz+ signal paths |
| High thermal reliability | Tj(max) = 150 °C with Rth(j-a) = 500 °C/W - supports sustained operation in space-constrained industrial sensor modules |
Applications
| AM/FM Radio Detector | Low-Voltage Clamp Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Demodulating amplitude-modulated signals in portable radio receivers operating from 1.8 V coin-cell supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal rectifier and envelope extractor; conducts only during positive half-cycles with minimal voltage offset. Use Value: 0.33 V VF ensures >90% signal transfer efficiency at µA-level input currents, preserving SNR in battery-powered receivers. | Use Scenario: Protecting ADC inputs from transient overvoltage in automotive body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting voltage limiter; clamps spikes within nanoseconds while adding negligible DC offset. Use Value: 7 pF capacitance avoids bandwidth degradation; 30 V VRRM accommodates ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a surges without breakdown. |
| High-Speed Sampling Gate | Low-Power Logic-Level Shifter |
Use Scenario: Gating analog sample pulses in 10-bit SAR ADC front-ends for IoT sensor nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional switch element controlled by CMOS clock; blocks hold capacitor discharge between samples. Use Value: Sub-80 ps trr prevents aperture jitter; 0.26 V VF minimizes sampling error in sub-1 V reference domains. | Use Scenario: Level translation between 1.2 V I²C master and 3.3 V peripheral in wearables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive bidirectional translator leveraging Schottky threshold asymmetry. Use Value: 0.33 V forward drop enables reliable turn-on at 1.2 V logic high, avoiding false low-state interpretation. |
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, identical electrical specs; differs only in marking (D95 vs DA5) and reel packaging quantity (3000 vs unspecified) | No functional difference; both qualified for same production lots and environmental grades | Select BAR43FILM if standard tape-and-reel volume (3000 pcs) is required; BAR43SFILM may be allocated for special build or traceability needs |
| NSR0230HT1G | Higher IF(AV) = 0.2 A, VF = 0.32 V @ 10 mA, but CJ = 10 pF - larger junction area increases capacitance | Less suitable for >30 MHz detection; better for higher-current clamp or power-rail protection | Prefer NSR0230HT1G when forward current exceeds 100 mA or thermal margin is critical; avoid where <8 pF is mandatory |
Compared with BAR43FILM, BAR43SFILM offers identical performance with differentiated traceability; versus NSR0230HT1G, it trades higher current capability for lower capacitance and tighter low-current VF - making it optimal for RF detection and ultra-low-power clamping.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for BAR43SFILM?
The BAR43SFILM has a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 30 V, verified per STMicroelectronics DocID3288 Rev 5 absolute ratings table. This value applies under continuous DC or sinusoidal reverse bias up to 150 °C junction temperature, with no derating required below that limit.
Is BAR43SFILM compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - BAR43SFILM is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, as specified in Table 2 of the official datasheet. Its ECOPACK®-compliant SOT23-3L package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
Does BAR43SFILM have a thermal pad or exposed cathode connection?
No - the SOT23-3L package used for BAR43SFILM has three gull-wing terminals: Pin 1 (Anode), Pin 2 (Cathode), and Pin 3 (No Connection). Pin 3 is internally unconnected and must remain floating; there is no thermal pad or exposed metal slug for heatsinking.
How does BAR43SFILM differ from BAR42FILM in practical circuit use?
BAR43SFILM delivers lower forward voltage (0.26 V typ. at 2 mA) than BAR42FILM (0.35 V typ. at 10 mA), making it superior for micro-power detection. BAR42 offers higher current capability (IF(AV) = 0.1 A same, but VF rises slower with load), while BAR43 excels in low-current, high-frequency roles due to tighter VF/CJ trade-off.
