Product details
Overview
BAS21TW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount fast-switching dual diode array in SOT363 package, configured as two independent high-voltage switching diodes. It delivers 250 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 50 ns reverse recovery time, and 200 mA continuous forward current per element-ideal for high-speed signal routing and voltage clamping in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BAS21TW-7 datasheet, BAS21TW-7 pinout, BAS21TW-7 application, or BAS21TW-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery speed under 50 ns, dual-diode integration in compact SOT363, thermal resistance of 417 °C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The BAS21TW-7 integrates two independent silicon switching diodes in a single SOT363 package, sharing no internal connection between anodes or cathodes. Each diode supports up to 250 V peak reverse voltage and exhibits 50 ns reverse recovery time at VR = 6 V and IF = 5 mA.
Its 1.05–1.25 V forward voltage (at IF = 100–200 mA) and 5 pF junction capacitance at VR = 6 V enable low-loss, high-frequency switching in discrete logic interface and transient suppression circuits where timing integrity and minimal capacitive loading are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Recovery Time | 50 ns - enables reliable operation in 10–20 MHz switching applications without tail current issues |
| Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage | 250 V - supports use in 12/24 V automotive systems with surge margin up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a |
| Continuous Forward Current | 200 mA per diode - sufficient for logic-level signal steering and small-signal clamp duty |
| Junction Capacitance | 5 pF at VR = 6 V - minimizes signal distortion in RF detector and high-speed data line protection |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 417 °C/W - requires FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout (AP02001) for safe 300 mW power dissipation |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive temperature range (−65 °C to +150 °C) and mechanical stress requirements |
Pinout & Package
SOT363 is a 6-pin, dual-row, surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.20 × 1.35 × 1.00 mm (L × W × H), with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads, moisture sensitivity level 1, and UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Input node for first diode's forward conduction path; connects to signal source or supply rail |
| Pin 2 | Cathode of Diode 1 | Output node for first diode; ties to load or reference point; forms clamping path to ground/VCC |
| Pin 3 | NC / Thermal Pad | No internal connection; may be used as heatsink anchor or ground plane tie on PCB |
| Pin 4 | Cathode of Diode 2 | Output node for second diode; electrically isolated from Pin 2; enables dual independent clamping |
| Pin 5 | Anode of Diode 2 | Input node for second diode; allows bidirectional signal routing or separate input channel handling |
| Pin 6 | NC / Thermal Pad | No internal connection; provides mechanical stability and optional thermal relief on bottom-side layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent diodes in one package | Reduces board space by ~40% vs. two discrete SOT23 diodes; eliminates interconnect parasitics |
| 50 ns reverse recovery time | Enables clean edge transitions in 10–20 MHz clock/data lines without overshoot or ringing |
| 250 V peak reverse voltage rating | Supports direct placement on 24 V CAN/LIN bus nodes with immunity to load-dump transients |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood environments including thermal cycling, vibration, and humidity testing |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Unit (BCU) | Industrial PLC Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping inductive kickback from door lock actuators and mirror motors in 12 V BCU modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching dual diode providing bidirectional transient suppression at each actuator driver output. Use Value: Prevents MCU I/O damage during 100 V/100 µs load dump events while maintaining <50 ns response to preserve PWM timing integrity. | Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V digital input channels against ESD and field-wiring reversals in modular PLC backplanes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-diode array performing polarity correction and overvoltage clamping before optocoupler input stage. Use Value: Eliminates need for four discrete diodes; reduces component count and improves channel-to-channel timing match in multi-input scan cycles. |
| USB 2.0 Data Line ESD Clamp | High-Speed Logic Level Translation |
Use Scenario: Secondary ESD protection on D+ and D− lines downstream of TVS diodes in USB host ports. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (5 pF) fast diode pair shunting sub-1 kV HBM transients to VBUS/GND without signal degradation. Use Value: Maintains USB 2.0 eye diagram integrity up to 480 Mbps by limiting added capacitance and ensuring <50 ns clamping latency. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional level shifting between 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs and 5 V legacy peripherals using passive diode-resistor topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode/cathode configuration enabling shared pull-up architecture with matched VF across both paths. Use Value: Achieves <10 ns propagation skew between high-to-low and low-to-high transitions due to matched diode characteristics and monolithic construction. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast-switching dual diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBD2102-7-F | Same SOT363 package; 200 V VRRM; 75 ns trr; 150 mA IF | Lower voltage/speed rating limits use in 24 V automotive transients and >10 MHz signals | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 250 V margin and 50 ns speed requirement |
| BAT54CW-7-F | 30 V VRRM; 5 ns trr; Schottky structure; 200 mA IF | Not suitable for >30 V clamping; superior speed but inadequate reverse blocking for BCU/LIN | Prefer only for low-voltage (<5 V), ultra-high-speed (<100 MHz) signal routing with zero forward drop priority |
Compared with MMBD2102-7-F and BAT54CW-7-F, the BAS21TW-7 uniquely balances 250 V blocking, 50 ns speed, and AEC-Q101 compliance-making it the only option qualified for automotive 24 V switching and industrial 24 V PLC inputs requiring simultaneous high voltage and fast recovery.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The BAS21TW-7 supports continuous operation from −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. Its 417 °C/W thermal resistance requires adherence to the AP02001 recommended pad layout on FR-4 to sustain full 300 mW power dissipation at ambient temperatures up to +85 °C without exceeding TJ(max).
Is BAS21TW-7 pin-compatible with other SOT363 dual diodes?
Yes-BAS21TW-7 uses standard SOT363 pinout (Anode1/Cathode1/NC/Cathode2/Anode2/NC). It is mechanically and electrically compatible with MMBD2102-7-F and BAT54CW-7-F in layout, though electrical parameters differ significantly in VRRM, trr, and VF.
Does BAS21TW-7 support bidirectional signal clamping?
No-it contains two independent unidirectional diodes. For true bidirectional clamping, external circuitry (e.g., back-to-back configuration with resistors) is required. Each diode conducts only from anode to cathode; pins 1→2 and 5→4 define the two forward paths.
Can BAS21TW-7 replace a single SOT23 diode in existing designs?
Yes-with layout revision. Its dual-diode structure allows consolidation of two SOT23 placements into one SOT363 footprint. Pin mapping differs (SOT23 has 3 pins; SOT363 has 6), so PCB redesign and netlist updates are required, but no functional revalidation is needed if both diodes serve independent paths.
