Product details
Overview
BAS40-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in SOT23 package, rated for 40 V peak reverse voltage and 200 mA continuous forward current, with maximum forward voltage of 1.0 V at 40 mA and reverse leakage under 200 nA at 30 V. It delivers fast switching (5.0 ns reverse recovery time) and low capacitance (5.0 pF), used in DC-DC converter output rectification and high-frequency signal clamping.
For engineers reviewing the BAS40-7-F datasheet, BAS40-7-F pinout, BAS40-7-F application, or BAS40-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its low VF for efficiency-critical 3.3 V/5 V rail rectification, guard-ring-enhanced ESD robustness, SOT23 thermal performance (357 °C/W RθJA), and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a platinum-silicide or similar low-barrier metal-semiconductor junction to achieve sub-1 V forward conduction and nanosecond-scale switching. Its PN junction guard ring structure suppresses edge breakdown and improves transient immunity without compromising speed.
Designed for operation from –55 °C to +125 °C, it maintains stable VF and IR across industrial temperature ranges, with total capacitance tightly controlled (4.0–5.0 pF at 0 V) for RF detector and mixer bias applications requiring minimal parasitic loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before avalanche; sets safe operating limit in 36 V nominal systems. |
| IF(AV) | 200 mA - Continuous DC forward current rating; defines max steady-state power delivery in low-power SMPS outputs. |
| VF @ 40 mA | ≤1000 mV - Low forward drop minimizes conduction loss in battery-powered 3.3 V logic supply paths. |
| trr | ≤5.0 ns - Fast recovery enables use in >10 MHz switching converters and RF envelope detection. |
| IR @ 30 V | ≤200 nA - Ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sample-and-hold circuits. |
| CT @ 0 V | 4.0–5.0 pF - Controlled junction capacitance supports stable operation in 100 MHz+ signal routing and clamp networks. |
| RθJA | 357 °C/W - Thermal resistance on FR-4 board determines derating above 25 °C ambient in compact PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (Standard), 3-terminal surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, weight ≈ 0.008 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward current entry point | Connected to higher-potential node in rectifier/clamp configuration; polarity marked by device top-side "K" symbol. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Internally tied to package tab; serves as primary heat path and reference node for reverse-biased operation. |
| No-Connect (Pin 3) | Unused internal lead | Electrically isolated; no bonding wire attached-mechanical support only, not usable for thermal or electrical enhancement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | VF ≤ 1.0 V @ 40 mA enables ≥3% efficiency gain over standard silicon diodes in 3.3 V buck converter outputs. |
| Fast reverse recovery | trr ≤ 5.0 ns reduces switching loss and EMI in high-frequency (>5 MHz) DC-DC controllers. |
| PN junction guard ring | Suppresses edge breakdown during ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3), improving system-level surge immunity without external TVS. |
| Lead-free & RoHS 3 compliant | Matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU; halogen- and antimony-free ("Green") per <900 ppm Br/Cl. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | RF Signal Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 3.3 V/5 V synchronous or asynchronous buck converters powering microcontrollers and sensors. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional current steering element that blocks reverse current while minimizing forward conduction loss. Use Value: 1.0 V VF at 40 mA reduces power dissipation by 40% vs. 1N4148, extending battery life in portable IoT nodes. | Use Scenario: Input protection and amplitude limiting in 100–500 MHz RF receiver front-ends (e.g., GPS L1 band). IC Role / Device Role: Voltage limiter that clips signal peaks above ~0.35 V while presenting <5 pF load to antenna path. Use Value: 4.0–5.0 pF CT ensures minimal insertion loss (<0.2 dB) and preserves noise figure in low-noise amplifier input stages. |
| High-Speed Logic Level Shifting | ESD-Sensitive Interface Protection |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional level translation between 1.8 V I²C bus and 3.3 V controller in wearables and medical monitors. IC Role / Device Role: Passive clamping diode pair (anode-to-1.8 V, cathode-to-3.3 V) preventing overvoltage stress on GPIO pins. Use Value: 5.0 ns trr allows clean transition through logic thresholds without pulse distortion at 400 kHz I²C clock rates. | Use Scenario: I/O line protection on USB 2.0 data lines and HDMI CEC channels exposed to handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role: First-line transient suppressor leveraging guard ring structure to absorb ±8 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2. Use Value: Guard ring design achieves >2× higher ESD withstand than non-guarded Schottkys of same VF, reducing need for downstream TVS. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSR0230HT1G | Lower VF (0.45 V typ @ 200 mA) but higher IR (1 µA @ 30 V); same SOT23-3 package. | Better for ultra-low-loss 1.2 V–1.8 V rail rectification; less suitable for high-impedance clamping due to leakage. | Select when forward loss dominates design priority and leakage is not critical. |
| 1N5711 | Higher VRRM (70 V), larger DO-35 glass package, slower trr (10 ns), VF = 0.9 V @ 10 mA. | Suitable for higher-voltage analog signal routing and legacy through-hole designs; incompatible with automated SMT assembly. | Choose only for prototyping or repair where SOT23 footprint is unavailable. |
Compared with NSR0230HT1G and 1N5711, BAS40-7-F balances low VF, ultra-low IR, and nanosecond switching in a production-ready SOT23 package-making it optimal for space-constrained, mixed-signal embedded systems requiring both efficiency and signal fidelity.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for BAS40-7-F?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +125 °C, with continuous operation rated from –55 °C to +125 °C ambient. Derating begins above 25 °C per the published power derating curve: at 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable PD drops to ~180 mW on FR-4 board with recommended pad layout.
Is BAS40-7-F qualified for automotive applications?
No-BAS40-7-F is the commercial-grade variant. The automotive-qualified version is BAS40Q-7-F, which is AEC-Q101 certified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF16949-certified facilities. BAS40-7-F lacks the required change control documentation and qualification testing for automotive use.
Does BAS40-7-F have a built-in ESD protection structure?
Yes-it integrates a PN junction guard ring specifically designed to suppress edge breakdown during transient events, providing inherent ESD robustness per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 (±8 kV contact). This eliminates the need for external ESD diodes in many low-energy interface applications.
Can BAS40-7-F be used in place of 1N5817 in a 5 V SMPS design?
Yes, with caveats: BAS40-7-F offers lower VF (1.0 V vs. 0.45 V typ for 1N5817 at 1 A), but its 200 mA IF rating is significantly lower than 1N5817's 1 A. It is suitable only for ≤200 mA output loads; for higher currents, a direct replacement requires a higher-current Schottky like SB120 or MBR0540.
