Nexperia USA Inc. BAS16VY,115

Overview

BAS16VY from Nexperia is a triple high-speed switching diode in a single SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package, configured as three independent anode-cathode pairs for compact multi-channel switching. It delivers trr ≤ 4 ns reverse recovery time, VR = 100 V maximum reverse voltage, and IF = 200 mA continuous forward current per diode-enabling use in high-frequency signal routing and logic-level clamping in portable power management circuits.

For engineers reviewing the BAS16VY datasheet, BAS16VY pinout, BAS16VY application, or BAS16VY equivalent, key selection criteria include verified trr ≤ 4 ns performance at IF = 10 mA/IR = 10 mA, low 1.5 pF capacitance at 0 V bias, and thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 260 K/W with solder-point cooling at pins 4–6.

Technical Context

The BAS16VY integrates three identical silicon planar epitaxial diodes in one monolithic die, each optimized for fast charge-carrier extraction via low minority-carrier lifetime design. Its trr ≤ 4 ns is measured under standardized conditions (IF = 10 mA, IR = 10 mA, RL = 100 Ω, IR(meas) = 1 mA, Tamb = 25 °C), confirming suitability for >100 MHz digital signal edge control.

Each diode exhibits VF = 855 mV at IF = 10 mA and IR ≤ 0.5 µA at VR = 80 V, supporting low-loss level translation and minimal leakage in battery-sensitive applications. The SOT363-3 package enables 0.65 mm lead pitch and <1.15 mm body height, meeting space-constrained PCB layouts without compromising thermal dissipation via pins 4–6 solder points.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode in the BAS16VY?

The BAS16VY supports 200 mA continuous forward current per diode under Tsp ≤ 85 °C with device mounted on FR4 PCB using standard footprint and tin-plated copper. This rating assumes single-diode loading and soldering at pins 4, 5, and 6 for thermal conduction. Exceeding this current without adequate heat sinking risks junction temperature exceeding 150 °C.

Can the BAS16VY be used in 5 V logic clamping applications?

Yes-the BAS16VY's 100 V VR rating and 855 mV VF at 10 mA make it suitable for clamping 5 V logic signals against transients up to ±100 V. Its 1.5 pF capacitance avoids signal degradation, and trr ≤ 4 ns ensures no timing skew in 50–200 MHz digital buses. It is commonly deployed on microcontroller GPIO lines and UART interfaces.

How does the SOT363-3 package improve thermal performance over standard SOT23?

The SOT363-3 package uses pins 4–6 as dedicated cathode thermal anchors, achieving Rth(j-sp) = 260 K/W-35% lower than typical SOT23-3 discrete diodes (Rth(j-a) ≈ 400 K/W). This allows 250 mW total power dissipation with FR4 mounting, whereas SOT23-3 parts require larger copper areas or forced airflow to sustain equivalent loads.

Is the BAS16VY pin-compatible with other triple-diode SOT363 variants?

Yes-the BAS16VY shares identical SOT363-3 pinout (A1/A2/A3/K3/K2/K1) with BAS21VY and BAS20VY, enabling drop-in replacement where trr ≤ 4 ns and VR = 100 V are sufficient. However, BAS21VY has higher VF (950 mV), and BAS20VY offers 200 V VR-so electrical validation is required before substitution.
