Product details
Overview
BAS16,215 from Nexperia is a high-speed switching diode in SOT23 package, designed for fast signal routing and transient suppression in digital logic interfaces. It delivers trr ≤ 4 ns reverse recovery time, 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 215 mA continuous forward current (IF), enabling reliable operation in 5 V–24 V logic-level switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS16,215 datasheet, BAS16,215 pinout, BAS16,215 application, or BAS16,215 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified trr performance under IF = 10 mA/IR = 10 mA conditions, low leakage (<0.5 µA at VR = 80 V), and SOT23-compatible thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W on FR4).
Technical Context
The BAS16,215 operates as a single silicon planar epitaxial switching diode with anode (Pin 1), unconnected terminal (Pin 2), and cathode (Pin 3). Its architecture prioritizes minimal charge storage to achieve sub-4 ns trr while maintaining low junction capacitance (1.5 pF at VR = 0 V).
It is rated for 100 V reverse blocking and supports pulsed forward currents up to 4 A (tp = 1 µs), making it suitable for clamping, waveform shaping, and level translation where speed outweighs power handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | ≤ 4 ns at IF = 10 mA, IR = 10 mA - enables clean transitions in >100 MHz digital edge detection |
| Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage (VRRM) | 100 V - supports 24 V industrial bus protection and 48 V telecom input stages |
| Continuous Forward Current (IF) | 215 mA - sufficient for driving small-signal logic inputs and LED indicators |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 855 mV at IF = 10 mA - minimizes voltage drop in low-power signal path applications |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 0.5 µA at VR = 80 V, Tamb = 25 °C - ensures stable biasing in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance | 500 K/W on FR4 PCB - defines derating curve for sustained 215 mA operation at Tamb ≤ 75 °C |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a standard SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm pin pitch), the BAS16,215 uses a 3-terminal configuration with Pin 2 internally unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A1) | Forward current entry point; connects to higher-potential node in switching path |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | No internal bond; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Forward current exit and reverse-blocking terminal; ties to reference or return plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | trr ≤ 4 ns enables use in 100+ MHz clock line steering and pulse clipping without distortion |
| Low junction capacitance | 1.5 pF at VR = 0 V reduces signal loading on RF and high-frequency digital traces |
| Low reverse leakage | 0.5 µA max at 80 V supports accurate voltage threshold detection in battery-monitoring circuits |
| Thermal robustness | 150 °C max junction temperature allows operation in sealed enclosures with limited airflow |
Applications
| Logic-Level Clamping | Digital Signal Steering |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CMOS input pins from overshoot during hot-plug events in USB or I²C interfaces. IC Role / Device Role: Fast-clamp diode shunting transients to VCC or GND rail. Use Value: 4 ns trr prevents latch-up by diverting spikes before logic thresholds are breached. |
Use Scenario: Routing select signals between multiple microcontroller peripherals using discrete OR-ing. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional signal combiner with minimal forward drop. Use Value: 855 mV VF at 10 mA preserves noise margin in 3.3 V logic systems. |
| Level Translation | Waveform Shaping |
Use Scenario: Converting 5 V TTL outputs to 3.3 V LVTTL-compatible levels in mixed-voltage FPGA I/O banks. IC Role / Device Role: Passive level-shifting diode in series with pull-up resistor. Use Value: Low IR ensures stable high-state voltage under light loads (<10 µA). |
Use Scenario: Sharpening slow-rising clock edges from crystal oscillators feeding PLL inputs. IC Role / Device Role: Edge accelerator via controlled reverse recovery charge injection. Use Value: Predictable 4 ns trr enables repeatable timing skew compensation in test fixtures. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4148W-7-F | trr = 4 ns (same), but VF = 1.0 V @ 10 mA (higher); Rth(j-a) = 400 K/W (better) | Slightly higher conduction loss; preferred where thermal margin is critical over VF sensitivity | Select when board space permits larger SOD-123 footprint and lower thermal resistance is prioritized |
| MMBD4148-7-F | trr = 4 ns (same), VF = 855 mV @ 10 mA (identical), but VRRM = 100 V (same) and IF = 200 mA (slightly lower) | Negligible functional difference; identical SOT23-3 pinout and marking compatibility | Drop-in replacement where legacy BOM references MMBD4148; verify marking code A6% matches |
Compared with 1N4148W-7-F and MMBD4148-7-F, the BAS16,215 offers identical trr and VF performance in the same SOT23 package, with 215 mA IF rating bridging the gap between standard 200 mA and higher-current variants-ideal for designs requiring margin on continuous drive capability without footprint change.

FAQ
Is BAS16,215 suitable for automotive applications?
No. The BAS16,215 is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified in its revision history. It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and has not undergone automotive-grade stress testing. For automotive use, Nexperia recommends the BAS16-Q series, which features extended temperature range and qualification compliance.
What does the '215' suffix in BAS16,215 indicate?
The '215' denotes the ordering code for the SOT23 packaged version with tape-and-reel delivery (7-inch reel, 3000 units per reel), per Nexperia's ordering information table. It is not a performance variant-it shares identical electrical and thermal specifications with BAS16 in the same package.
Can Pin 2 be used as a heatsink or grounded for thermal improvement?
No. Pin 2 is internally not connected (n.c.), as confirmed in the pinning diagram and datasheet. Connecting it may cause unintended parasitic coupling or solder joint reliability issues. Thermal performance relies solely on Ptot = 250 mW and Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W through Pins 1 and 3.
How does BAS16,215 compare to BAT54 in high-frequency applications?
The BAS16,215 has faster trr (4 ns vs. BAT54's 5 ns typical) and lower Cd (1.5 pF vs. BAT54's 10 pF), making it superior for >50 MHz signal routing. However, BAT54 is a Schottky diode with lower VF (~300 mV), so it wins in low-VF DC paths-but BAS16,215 provides better reverse isolation and higher VRRM (100 V vs. 30 V).
