Product details
Overview
BAS116GW from Nexperia is a high-speed switching diode in SOD-123W package, with 100 V peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 215 mA average forward current (IF), and 4 ns reverse recovery time (trr), used in signal clamping and high-frequency rectification in consumer power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the BAS116GW datasheet, BAS116GW pinout, BAS116GW application, or BAS116GW equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery speed, surge current capability (IFSM = 4 A), low forward voltage drop (VF = 1.25 V @ 150 mA), and thermal resistance (Rthj-a = 370 K/W).
Technical Context
The BAS116GW is a planar epitaxial silicon switching diode optimized for fast transient response. Its low trr and soft recovery characteristic minimize EMI generation during commutation in DC-DC converters and LED drivers.
It operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and exhibits a typical capacitance of 2.5 pF at 0 V, supporting RF signal routing and high-frequency detector applications where low parasitic capacitance is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 100 V - supports input rectification in 24–48 V industrial power rails without breakdown |
| IF (avg) | 215 mA - sufficient for low-power logic-level signal steering and bias networks |
| trr | 4 ns - enables operation up to ~100 MHz switching frequencies in pulse shaping circuits |
| VF @ 150 mA | 1.25 V - reduces conduction loss in series-clamp protection paths |
| IFSM | 4 A - withstands short-duration inrush currents in hot-swap and load-switching circuits |
| Rthj-a | 370 K/W - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in space-constrained layouts |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-123W - surface-mount plastic package with gull-wing leads, 2.7 mm × 1.7 mm footprint, 1.25 mm height, rated for reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward current entry point | Connected to higher-potential node in clamping or rectifier configuration |
| Cathode (K) | Forward current exit point / reverse-blocking terminal | Typically tied to reference rail (e.g., GND or VCC) for unidirectional signal control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast switching | trr = 4 ns - enables clean edge preservation in digital signal conditioning |
| Low leakage current | IR = 100 nA @ 100 V - maintains signal integrity in high-impedance sample-and-hold paths |
| Soft recovery characteristic | Minimizes voltage overshoot and ringing during turn-off - reduces need for snubber networks |
| Qualified to AEC-Q101 | Validated for automotive under-hood temperature cycling and humidity testing |
Applications
| USB Port ESD Protection | Automotive CAN Bus Signal Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional transient suppression on USB 2.0 D+/D− lines against IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete clamping diode placed between data line and VCC/GND rails to shunt ESD energy. Use Value: 4 ns trr prevents latch-up during fast transients; 100 nA IR avoids signal loading on 90 Ω differential pair. | Use Scenario: Voltage limiting on CAN_H/CAN_L nodes in 12 V vehicle body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone clamp protecting transceiver inputs from load-dump and jump-start surges. Use Value: 100 V VRWM accommodates ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (76 V); AEC-Q101 qualification ensures reliability over 15-year service life. |
| High-Frequency Detector in RF Front-End | Low-Power Logic-Level Translation |
Use Scenario: AM envelope detection in sub-GHz ISM band receivers (e.g., 315/433 MHz remote keyless entry). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive demodulator converting RF carrier amplitude to baseband voltage. Use Value: 2.5 pF junction capacitance preserves Q-factor of matching network; low VF improves detection sensitivity at µW input levels. | Use Scenario: Level shifting between 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO and 5 V peripheral enable lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forward-biased diode providing ~1.25 V offset to translate logic thresholds. Use Value: 4 ns trr ensures no timing skew in 10 MHz toggle scenarios; SOD-123W footprint allows placement adjacent to BGA packages. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAS16W | VRWM = 80 V, trr = 4 ns, IF = 215 mA - lower reverse voltage rating | Not suitable for 100 V surge-prone automotive loads | Select when system max reverse stress ≤80 V and cost sensitivity outweighs margin needs |
| 1N4148W | VRWM = 100 V, trr = 4 ns, but IF = 300 mA and Rthj-a = 400 K/W - higher current, worse thermal performance | Preferred in higher-current analog switches; less optimal in thermally dense layouts | Choose for legacy designs requiring direct 1N4148 form factor compatibility |
Compared with BAS116GW, BAS16W trades reverse voltage margin for slightly lower cost, while 1N4148W offers higher IF at the expense of thermal efficiency-making BAS116GW optimal for space-constrained, 100 V-rated, thermally sensitive signal-path applications.

FAQ
Is BAS116GW suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No. BAS116GW is a unidirectional diode with anode and cathode terminals. For bidirectional ESD protection, paired BAS116GW devices or purpose-built TVS diodes like PESD5V0S1BA must be used in back-to-back configuration or as specified in IEC 61000-4-2 compliant designs.
What is the maximum operating frequency for BAS116GW in clipping applications?
The BAS116GW supports reliable operation up to approximately 100 MHz in clipping and clamping roles, based on its 4 ns reverse recovery time and 2.5 pF junction capacitance. Performance beyond this depends on PCB layout parasitics and drive source impedance, not intrinsic device limits.
Does BAS116GW require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes. At 100 °C ambient, the average forward current must be reduced to 130 mA to maintain junction temperature ≤150 °C, per the derating curve in Nexperia's datasheet (document number BAS116GW_Nexperia.pdf, section 6.2). Thermal vias under the cathode pad improve margin.
Can BAS116GW replace BAT54 in low-voltage Schottky applications?
No. BAS116GW is a silicon switching diode with VF ≈ 1.25 V; BAT54 is a Schottky diode with VF ≈ 0.3 V. Substituting BAS116GW would increase conduction loss and reduce efficiency in 3.3 V or lower rail applications where low forward drop is essential.
