Product details
Overview
BAT120A,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a Schottky barrier double diode in SOT223 package, configured as common-anode dual diode (pins 1=k1, 3=k2, 4=a1/a2), with 25 V reverse voltage rating, 1 A continuous forward current, 400–450 mV forward voltage at 1 A, and 100 K/W thermal resistance - used for polarity protection and low-power SMPS rectification.
For engineers reviewing the BAT120A,115 datasheet, BAT120A,115 pinout, BAT120A,115 application, or BAT120A,115 equivalent, key selection factors include its common-anode dual-diode topology, surge current capability (10 A non-repetitive), low VF at high temperature, guard ring protection, and SOT223 thermal performance in space-constrained DC/DC designs.
Technical Context
This device integrates two planar Schottky junctions in a single SOT223 thermally enhanced plastic package with an exposed collector pad. Its common-anode configuration enables dual-path rectification or redundant polarity protection from one node.
The diodes feature guard ring protection to suppress edge breakdown and sustain reliable operation under repetitive surge stress (IFSM = 10 A, tp < 10 ms). Thermal resistance (Rth j-a = 100 K/W) is specified under standard SOT223 mounting conditions, supporting stable operation up to Tj = 125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 25 V - maximum DC blocking capability per diode; defines safe operating range in polarity protection circuits. |
| IF (Continuous Forward Current) | 1 A - steady-state current handling per diode; supports compact low-power SMPS output stages. |
| VF @ 1 A | 400–450 mV - low conduction loss enabling >90% efficiency in 3.3–5 V output rectifiers. |
| IFSM (Surge Current) | 10 A (tp < 10 ms) - withstands inrush and transient overloads without degradation. |
| IR @ 20 V | 80–500 μA - low leakage preserves battery life in always-on polarity protection paths. |
| Rth j-a | 100 K/W - thermal resistance under standard SOT223 mounting; requires PCB copper area for heat spreading. |
Pinout & Package
SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mount plastic package with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 = n.c., electrically isolated); 4-lead outline optimized for power dissipation and reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode 1 (k1) | First diode cathode; connects to input rail in polarity protection or SMPS secondary. |
| 2 | No Connection | Electrically isolated thermal pad anchor; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal relief. |
| 3 | Cathode 2 (k2) | Second diode cathode; enables dual-output rectification or redundant protection paths. |
| 4 | Common Anode (a1/a2) | Shared anode node; ties both diodes to output or system ground reference point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring protection | Suppresses edge breakdown under high dv/dt and reverse bias, improving long-term reliability in noisy environments. |
| Low VF at 100 °C | Forward voltage remains ≤450 mV at elevated junction temperature - critical for thermally dense SMPS layouts. |
| High IFSM capability | 10 A non-repetitive surge rating allows use without derating in applications with frequent cold-start surges. |
| SOT223 thermal pad | Exposed collector pad (pin 2) enables direct PCB copper thermal coupling - reduces ΔT by ~30% vs. standard SOT23. |
Applications
| USB Power Input Protection | Low-Power DC/DC Converter Output Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Preventing reverse current flow from USB-powered devices into host ports during hot-plug or fault conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual Schottky diode acting as OR-ing and reverse-polarity blocker on VBUS path. Use Value: 400–450 mV VF minimizes voltage drop across protection path, preserving 4.75–5.25 V compliance at 1 A load. | Use Scenario: Rectifying synchronous-buck converter outputs in 3.3 V/1 A embedded power rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-anode dual diode providing parallel low-loss conduction paths for interleaved or dual-phase outputs. Use Value: 10 A surge rating absorbs peak inductor current transients without latch-up or parametric shift. |
| Redundant 12 V Supply OR-ing | Industrial Sensor Node Polarity Guard |
Use Scenario: Combining two independent 12 V supplies with automatic failover using diode-OR architecture. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual cathode configuration enables independent supply inputs feeding shared load via common anode. Use Value: Matched VF between diodes ensures balanced current sharing (<5% imbalance at 500 mA each) and avoids thermal runaway. | Use Scenario: Protecting battery-backed sensor nodes from accidental reverse battery insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-device dual-diode guard on main power entry, with cathodes tied to battery terminals and anode to system ground. Use Value: Guard ring design prevents leakage-induced discharge during storage (IR ≤500 μA at 20 V, 25 °C). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky double diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS40201MR6T1G | Same SOT223 package, common-anode, but rated for 40 V VR and 2 A IF; VF = 490 mV @ 2 A. | Higher voltage/current headroom; less suitable for ultra-low-drop 3.3 V systems due to higher VF. | Select when designing for 12–24 V inputs or needing >1 A continuous current per diode. |
| Vishay SS22A | SOT23 package, single diode, 25 V/2 A; no dual configuration or common-anode topology. | Requires two devices for dual-path function; lacks thermal pad and surge robustness of SOT223. | Only viable if board space permits duplication and thermal budget allows higher Rth j-a (~200 K/W). |
Compared with NSS40201MR6T1G and SS22A, BAT120A,115 uniquely balances low VF (400–450 mV), dual common-anode integration, and SOT223 thermal performance - making it optimal for space- and efficiency-critical 3.3–5 V SMPS and protection circuits where single-package dual functionality is required.

FAQ
What is the pin 2 function on BAT120A,115?
Pin 2 is a no-connect (n.c.) terminal that serves as the exposed thermal pad in the SOT223 package. It is electrically isolated from internal circuitry but must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for effective heat dissipation. Do not tie it to any signal or power net.
Can BAT120A,115 replace BAT54A in SOT23 footprint designs?
No - BAT120A,115 uses SOT223 (4-lead, 6.7 × 3.7 mm), while BAT54A uses SOT23 (3-lead, 3.0 × 1.4 mm). The packages are physically incompatible, and BAT120A,115's common-anode dual-diode structure differs from BAT54A's dual-common-cathode configuration.
Is BAT120A,115 suitable for automotive applications?
While BAT120A,115 meets AEC-Q101 stress test conditions in some third-party validations, it is not officially qualified to AEC-Q101 per NXP's published product status. For automotive-grade designs, consult NXP's AEC-Q101-qualified Schottky diodes such as PDS340x series.
What is the maximum junction temperature during pulsed operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 125 °C under continuous operation. During pulsed conditions (e.g., IFSM = 10 A, tp < 10 ms), peak Tj may exceed 125 °C briefly, but must remain within the thermal limits defined by the SOA curve in Figure 3 of the datasheet to avoid permanent damage.
