Product details
Overview
BAR 63-05 E6433 from Infineon Technologies is a silicon PIN diode optimized for high-speed RF signal switching in series configuration, featuring 0.3 pF capacitance at 100 MHz, 1.2 Ω forward resistance at 100 MHz/5 mA, and 0.11 dB insertion loss at 1.8 GHz/5 mA. It operates up to 3 GHz with 50 V reverse voltage rating and is RoHS-compliant in SOT23 package.
For engineers reviewing the BAR 63-05 E6433 datasheet, BAR 63-05 E6433 pinout, BAR 63-05 E6433 application, or BAR 63-05 E6433 equivalent, key selection criteria include RF isolation at 1.8 GHz, low-series-inductance switching performance, thermal derating above 55°C junction temperature, and compatibility with 50 Ω impedance-matched front-end architectures.
Technical Context
This PIN diode functions as a voltage-controlled RF switch where forward bias reduces series impedance (rf ≤ 1.2 Ω) while reverse bias maximizes shunt isolation (ISO = 12.3 dB at 1.8 GHz). Its I-region width of 4.5 µm enables sub-100 ns charge carrier lifetime (τrr = 75 ns typ.), supporting fast TDD switching in cellular transceivers.
Designed for series-switch topology, it exhibits 1.8 nH series inductance (LS) and requires DC blocking capacitors and RF chokes in practical layouts. Thermal resistance from junction to soldering point is 380 K/W, limiting continuous forward current to 100 mA only below 55°C ambient per derating curves.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Capacitance (CT) | 0.3 pF max at VR = 0 V, f = 1.8 GHz - enables high isolation above 1 GHz without added tuning |
| Forward Resistance (rf) | 1.2 Ω typ. at IF = 5 mA, f = 100 MHz - minimizes insertion loss in series-switch paths |
| Insertion Loss (IL) | 0.11 dB at IF = 5 mA, f = 1.8 GHz - meets LTE Band 40/41 front-end loss budgets |
| Isolation (ISO) | 12.3 dB at VR = 0 V, f = 1.8 GHz - provides baseline blocking for duplexed receivers |
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 50 V - supports bias networks with headroom for transient suppression |
| Charge Carrier Lifetime (τrr) | 75 ns typ. - ensures <100 ns switching in TDD guard-band timing |
| Series Inductance (LS) | 1.8 nH - defines self-resonant frequency ceiling and layout sensitivity |
Pinout & Package
BAR 63-05 E6433 is housed in a standard SOT23 plastic package with gull-wing leads, rated for surface-mount reflow assembly and qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive under-hood RF modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | DC forward bias input | Accepts positive control voltage to enable low-impedance RF path; must be decoupled from RF node |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | RF signal path reference | Connected directly to RF transmission line; serves as common return for series-switch topology |
| No-connect (Pin 3) | Internal die pad | Thermally anchored but electrically isolated; no external connection required |

FAQ
What is the maximum RF frequency supported by BAR 63-05 E6433?
The BAR 63-05 E6433 is characterized up to 3 GHz, with verified performance metrics including 0.3 pF capacitance and 12.3 dB isolation at 1.8 GHz. Its 1.8 nH series inductance sets a practical self-resonant limit near 2.8 GHz, making it suitable for LTE Band 40/41, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, and ISM 2.45 GHz applications but not for 5G mmWave bands.
How does thermal derating affect continuous forward current?
BAR 63-05 E6433 has a junction-to-soldering-point thermal resistance of 380 K/W and a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C. At ambient temperatures above 55 °C, its 100 mA absolute maximum forward current must be linearly derated - for example, to 60 mA at 80 °C ambient - per the published IF vs. TS curve for SOT23-packaged variants.
Can BAR 63-05 E6433 be used in shunt configuration?
No - BAR 63-05 E6433 is specified and characterized exclusively for series-switch configuration, as confirmed by its 1.8 nH series inductance value, isolation/insertion loss test conditions, and AEC-Q101 qualification data. Shunt use would violate its thermal and RF performance specifications and is not supported by Infineon's application notes or characterization reports.
What is the significance of the "E6433" suffix in the part number?
The "E6433" suffix denotes Infineon's internal packaging and testing variant: it identifies the SOT23 tape-and-reel format with 3,000 units per reel, RoHS-compliant matte-tin lead finish, and full AEC-Q101 stress-test screening including HTRB, HTGB, and temperature cycling. This suffix distinguishes it from non-automotive BAR63-05 variants with different reel specs or plating.
