Product details
Overview
BAS70FILM from STMicroelectronics is a 70 V, 70 mA low-capacitance Schottky diode in SOT-23 package, optimized for RF signal detection and temperature compensation with 2 pF capacitance, 30 Ω differential forward resistance at 100 MHz, and 1.5 nH series inductance. It operates up to 150 °C junction temperature and is used in high-frequency receiver front-ends and bias networks.
For engineers reviewing the BAS70FILM datasheet, BAS70FILM pinout, BAS70FILM application, or BAS70FILM equivalent, this part is selected for ultra-low parasitic performance in RF detector, mixer, and temperature-sensing circuits where fast switching, minimal signal distortion, and thermal stability are critical.
Technical Context
The BAS70FILM implements a planar Schottky barrier structure enabling negligible reverse recovery time and sub-100 ns forward recovery, essential for RF demodulation above 1 GHz. Its low Cj (2 pF max) and low Ls (1.5 nH) minimize impedance discontinuity in 50 Ω transmission paths.
Thermal design is supported by Rth(j-a) = 500 °C/W on epoxy PCB with recommended pad layout, and operation is validated from −65 °C to +150 °C. The device uses lead-free ECOPACK® packaging compliant with RoHS and UL94 V0.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 70 V - Maximum reverse blocking voltage before breakdown; suitable for RF bias lines up to 50 V DC offset. |
| IF | 70 mA - Continuous forward current rating; supports detector diode operation without thermal derating below 85 °C ambient. |
| Cj (max) | 2 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - Enables minimal capacitive loading on VHF/UHF signal paths; preserves bandwidth in >500 MHz applications. |
| RF | 30 Ω at 10 mA, 100 MHz - Low differential forward resistance ensures high sensitivity in RF envelope detection circuits. |
| Ls | 1.5 nH - Ultra-low series inductance maintains impedance integrity in compact RF layouts and minimizes resonance effects. |
| Tj(max) | 150 °C - High junction temperature rating allows reliable operation in thermally constrained RF modules and power amplifiers. |
| VF @ 10 mA | 750 mV typical - Low forward voltage enables efficient signal rectification with minimal insertion loss in passive detector stages. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package: 3-pin, single-diode configuration with anode-cathode-anode pinout (Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = Anode). JEDEC-compliant plastic surface-mount package measuring 2.75–3.04 mm × 1.2–1.6 mm × 2.1–2.75 mm, rated for 260 °C soldering peak temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | RF input node in detector configurations; connects to antenna/mixer output; requires minimal trace inductance. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | DC output/ground reference node; carries rectified current to load; must be routed with low-impedance return path. |
| Pin 3 | Anode (redundant) | Internally tied to Pin 1; provides mechanical stability and thermal relief; may be left unconnected or paralleled for enhanced current handling. |
Key Features

|---|---|---|---|
| NSVRB70MUT5G | 70 V VRRM, 100 mA IF, 1.5 pF Cj, SOD-323 package (smaller footprint, higher current) | Preferred for space-constrained 2.4 GHz BLE receivers where board area is limited and higher surge tolerance is needed. | Select when SOD-323 mounting is preferred and 100 mA continuous rating improves margin in pulsed RF detection. |
| SKY13370-374LF | 70 V VRRM, integrated 50 Ω matching network, 0.8 pF effective Cj, SOT-23-6 package | Designed for matched 50 Ω systems; eliminates external matching components but adds cost and complexity. | Choose only when system-level impedance matching simplification outweighs added BOM count and non-drop-in replacement effort. |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage the BAS70FILM can withstand continuously?
The BAS70FILM has a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 70 V, verified per Table 2 of ST's Doc ID 12563 Rev 2. This is the absolute maximum DC or sinusoidal AC reverse voltage that may be applied continuously without risk of avalanche breakdown under specified thermal conditions.
Does BAS70FILM require external biasing for RF detector operation?
No-BAS70FILM operates as a zero-bias Schottky detector diode. Its low forward voltage (410 mV typ. at 1 mA) and negligible reverse recovery allow direct RF-to-DC conversion without DC biasing, making it ideal for passive envelope detection in battery-powered receivers.
Can BAS70FILM be used in 5G sub-6 GHz front-end modules?
Yes-its 2 pF capacitance, 1.5 nH series inductance, and 30 Ω differential resistance at 100 MHz support stable operation up to 3.5 GHz. Measured Cj vs. VR curves (Figure 5) confirm monotonic decrease to <1.2 pF at 5 V reverse bias, enabling predictable matching in n77/n78 band designs.
Is the SOT-23 package of BAS70FILM compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the device is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with maximum soldering temperature of 260 °C (Table 2) and ECOPACK® compliance. Thermal impedance data (Table 3) confirms safe operation using standard IPC-7095-compliant 260 °C peak profiles on FR4 PCBs with recommended pad layout.
