Product details
Overview
BAS16,235 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, VR = 100 V maximum reverse voltage, IF = 215 mA continuous forward current, and Cd = 1.5 pF capacitance at 0 V - enabling use in 50 MHz+ clock line clamping and data-line protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS16,235 datasheet, BAS16,235 pinout, BAS16,235 application, or BAS16,235 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified trr performance under IF = 10 mA/IR = 10 mA test conditions, n.c. terminal confirmation in SOT23 layout, thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W on FR4 PCB, and compatibility with reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020.
Technical Context
The BAS16,235 operates as a single silicon planar epitaxial switching diode with anode (Pin 1), not-connected (Pin 2), and cathode (Pin 3) terminals. Its low trr and sub-1.5 pF capacitance stem from optimized doping profiles and minimal junction area - critical for minimizing propagation delay in TTL/CMOS interface protection.
It is rated for repetitive peak reverse voltage VRRM = 100 V and non-repetitive peak forward current IFSM = 4 A (tp = 1 µs), with thermal design constrained by Rth(j-sp) = 330 K/W to solder point - requiring attention to PCB copper area and trace width in high-duty-cycle pulse applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| trr | 4 ns max - enables reliable operation in >100 Mbps digital signal paths without timing skew |
| VRRM | 100 V - supports 24 V industrial bus lines and 48 V telecom power rail monitoring |
| IF (continuous) | 215 mA - sufficient for driving LED indicators or small-signal relay coils |
| Cd | 1.5 pF at 0 V - minimizes capacitive loading on high-impedance analog sensor outputs |
| VF | 855 mV typ at 10 mA - ensures low forward drop in battery-powered logic-level translation |
| IR | 0.5 µA max at VR = 80 V - maintains signal integrity in high-impedance sample-and-hold circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm lead pitch), optimized for automated placement and IPC-compliant reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A1) | Forward current entry point; must connect to higher-potential node in clamping or steering configuration |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | No internal connection; PCB pad may be left unconnected or used for mechanical anchoring only |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Forward current exit and reverse voltage reference; ties to ground or low-side return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | trr ≤ 4 ns measured under standardized IF = 10 mA / IR = 10 mA / RL = 100 Ω conditions |
| Low leakage | IR ≤ 0.5 µA at VR = 80 V and Tamb = 25 °C - preserves bias stability in precision op-amp input networks |
| Small-footprint packaging | SOT23 footprint compatible with 0.5 mm solder paste stencil apertures and standard pick-and-place nozzles |
| Thermal robustness | Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W on FR4 PCB - allows 250 mW total dissipation with ≤ 75 °C junction rise above ambient |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Line Protection | Microcontroller GPIO Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional ESD protection on D+ and D− lines of USB 2.0 peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage suppressor placed between data line and ground, leveraging fast trr to avoid signal distortion during hot-plug events. Use Value: 1.5 pF capacitance prevents >1% signal rise-time degradation at 480 Mbps; 100 V VRRM withstands ±15 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2. |
Use Scenario: Input protection for 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO pins exposed to external sensors or switches. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping diode limiting voltage excursions beyond VDD + 0.3 V or VSS − 0.3 V during overvoltage transients. Use Value: 0.5 µA IR ensures <100 nA leakage into MCU input leakage budget; SOT23 size fits dense QFN MCU layouts. |
| RS-485 Receiver Input Protection | Level-Shifting Signal Steering |
Use Scenario: Front-end protection for RS-485 receiver inputs operating across −7 V to +12 V common-mode range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased clamp limiting differential input swing to prevent receiver latch-up during cable surge events. Use Value: 100 V VRRM exceeds RS-485 fault tolerance requirements; 4 ns trr avoids false triggering during fast edge transitions. |
Use Scenario: Directional signal routing in bidirectional I²C or SPI level-shifters using discrete diode steering. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Anode-to-higher-voltage-rail, cathode-to-lower-rail configuration enabling passive voltage translation without active circuitry. Use Value: 855 mV VF at 10 mA ensures <100 mV offset error in 3.3 V ↔ 1.8 V translation; SOT23 allows dual-diode placement per signal pair. |
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 | trr = 4 ns (same), but VF = 1.25 V at 150 mA vs. BAS16's 1.25 V at same condition; Cd = 4 pF vs. 1.5 pF | Higher capacitance limits use above 25 MHz; preferred where higher IF capability (300 mA) outweighs speed | Select when board space permits larger SOD-123 and higher forward current is required |
| MMBD4148 | Identical SOT23-3 pinout and trr ≤ 4 ns, but IR = 5 nA at VR = 20 V (lower leakage), VF = 1.0 V at 10 mA | Lower leakage suits ultra-low-power sensor nodes; slightly higher VF increases power loss in high-duty-cycle switching | Prefer for battery-operated IoT endpoints where standby current dominates system budget |
Compared with 1N4148W and MMBD4148, the BAS16,235 offers the lowest capacitance (1.5 pF) among SOT23 high-speed diodes - making it optimal for RF-adjacent digital routing and high-frequency sampling circuits where parasitic loading must be minimized.

FAQ
Is BAS16,235 suitable for automotive applications?
No. The BAS16,235 is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified in Nexperia's revision history. It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, temperature cycling validation beyond 150 °C junction, and automotive-grade traceability. For automotive use, Nexperia recommends the BAS16-Q series variants with full AEC-Q101 certification and extended temperature screening.
What is the function of Pin 2 (n.c.) in BAS16,235?
Pin 2 is internally not connected - it has no electrical bond or silicon link. It serves only as a mechanical anchor for the SOT23 package during assembly and may be left floating on the PCB. Routing traces or vias to this pad is unnecessary and may risk solder bridging; Nexperia's recommended footprint excludes metal under Pin 2.
Can BAS16,235 replace BAT54 in low-voltage Schottky applications?
No. The BAS16,235 is a silicon PN junction diode, not a Schottky device. Its VF starts at 715 mV (vs. BAT54's ~300 mV), and it lacks the zero-threshold conduction behavior needed for low-loss 1.8 V or 3.3 V rail steering. Substituting it for BAT54 would increase forward loss and reduce efficiency in power-path applications.
How does thermal resistance change if BAS16,235 is mounted on 2-layer versus 4-layer PCB?
Rth(j-a) drops from 500 K/W (FR4, single-sided copper) to ~350 K/W on a 4-layer board with internal ground/power planes and thermal vias under the SOT23 pad. This improves power handling margin: at 250 mW dissipation, junction temperature rise decreases from 125 °C to ~88 °C - extending reliability in sustained pulse applications.
