Product details
Overview
BAS21TWQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel fast-switching surface-mount silicon switching diode array in SOT363 package, rated for 250V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 200mA forward current, and 50ns maximum reverse recovery time. It serves as a high-speed signal routing or clamping element in automotive power management and interface protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS21TWQ-7 datasheet, BAS21TWQ-7 pinout, BAS21TWQ-7 application, or BAS21TWQ-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low 100nA reverse leakage at 200V, 5pF junction capacitance at 6V, and thermal resistance of 417°C/W - all critical for high-reliability 12V/24V automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The BAS21TWQ-7 integrates two independent high-voltage switching diodes in a single SOT363 package, sharing no internal connection between anodes or cathodes. Each diode exhibits matched electrical characteristics with VF ≤ 1.25V at 200mA and tRR ≤ 50ns under standardized 6V reverse bias and 5mA forward test conditions.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it operates across –65°C to +150°C and sustains 250V non-repetitive peak reverse voltage. Its 300mW power dissipation rating assumes FR-4 board mounting with Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout, delivering stable performance under transient load conditions.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VRRM | 250 V - Supports 12V/24V automotive bus clamping without breakdown during load dump transients |
| IF | 200 mA - Enables use in low-power signal-level switching and logic-level translation paths |
| tRR | 50 ns max - Ensures minimal switching loss and clean edge integrity in 1–10 MHz digital signal routing |
| CT | 5 pF at 6V - Limits capacitive loading on high-speed data lines such as CAN FD stubs or sensor interfaces |
| IR | 100 nA at 200V - Maintains low standby current in always-on vehicle modules like body control units |
| RθJA | 417 °C/W - Requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal relief in space-constrained ECUs |

Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping LIN bus transceiver I/O pins against ESD and load-dump-induced transients in door module ECUs. IC Role / Device Role: Fast-switching bidirectional transient suppressor placed between transceiver and connector. Use Value: 50ns tRR ensures clamping activation before IC damage threshold is exceeded; 250V VRRM withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. | Use Scenario: Protecting analog front-end inputs of 4–20mA current-loop sensors in factory automation PLCs. IC Role / Device Role: Reverse-polarity and overvoltage protection diode pair at signal entry point. Use Value: Dual independent channels allow separate protection for signal and return paths; 100nA IR prevents measurement drift in µA-level sensing circuits. |
| Automotive Infotainment Power Sequencing | USB 2.0 Data Line ESD Clamp |
Use Scenario: Controlling power-up sequence of display backlight drivers and audio amplifiers using discrete diode-based OR-ing. IC Role / Device Role: High-speed isolation diode enabling controlled voltage ramp and fault containment. Use Value: 200mA IF rating supports typical 100–150mA backlight driver enable paths; matched VF ensures balanced sequencing timing. | Use Scenario: Low-capacitance ESD protection on D+ and D− lines of USB 2.0 host ports in telematics gateways. IC Role / Device Role: Signal-line transient suppressor with minimal data-integrity impact. Use Value: 5pF CT avoids signal rise-time degradation beyond USB 2.0 specification limits; SOT363 footprint fits tight 0.65mm pitch routing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast-switching diode array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2016LFG-7 | Single-channel SOT-23 MOSFET-based load switch; no reverse recovery, but higher RDS(on) and gate drive dependency | Replaces diode function only when active control and ultra-low forward drop are required | Select only if system requires programmable ON/OFF control and can accommodate gate bias circuitry |
| BAT54CW-7-F | 30V VRRM, 200mA IF, 5ns tRR, same SOT363 package; lower voltage rating but faster switching | Suitable for 3.3V/5V logic-level protection where 250V capability is unnecessary | Prefer for consumer or industrial low-voltage interfaces needing sub-10ns recovery |
Compared with DMN2016LFG-7 and BAT54CW-7-F, the BAS21TWQ-7 uniquely balances high-voltage robustness (250V), automotive qualification, and dual-channel integration - making it irreplaceable in 12V/24V ECU signal conditioning where both voltage margin and channel independence are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for BAS21TWQ-7?
The BAS21TWQ-7 is rated for continuous operation from –65°C to +150°C junction temperature. Its thermal resistance of 417°C/W allows full 300mW power dissipation only at 25°C ambient; derating is required above that, per Figure 1 in DS38635 Rev. 2–2.
Is BAS21TWQ-7 suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - the BAS21TWQ-7 contains two independent unidirectional diodes (anode-cathode pairs). For true bidirectional ESD clamping, external series/parallel configurations or purpose-built TVS arrays like D3V3Z5U2P are required.
Does BAS21TWQ-7 have matched characteristics between its two diodes?
Yes - datasheet electrical characteristics (VF, tRR, CT, IR) are specified per element and measured on the same die. Matching is inherent to monolithic dual-diode construction, enabling consistent behavior in differential or redundant signal paths.
Can BAS21TWQ-7 replace BAS21 in through-hole designs?
No - while electrically similar, BAS21TWQ-7 uses SOT363 surface-mount packaging versus BAS21's DO-35 axial leaded package. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign, reflow process validation, and verification of thermal performance under new mounting conditions.
