Product details
Overview
BAT43 from STMicroelectronics is a small-signal Schottky barrier diode in DO-35 package, designed for low-voltage, high-speed switching applications. It features a typical forward voltage of 0.26 V at 2 mA, 30 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 200 mA continuous forward current, and 5 ns reverse recovery time - enabling use in RF detector circuits, sample-and-hold clamps, and low-loss DC power path steering.
For engineers reviewing the BAT43 datasheet, BAT43 pinout, BAT43 application, or BAT43 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low VF at microamp/milliamp bias levels, minimal junction capacitance (7 pF at 1 V), thermal resistance (300 °C/W), and compatibility with hand-soldering (230 °C for 10 s).
Technical Context
The BAT43 employs a metal–silicon Schottky junction to achieve majority-carrier conduction, eliminating minority-carrier storage delay and enabling nanosecond-scale switching. Its low forward voltage drop stems from a low barrier height design optimized for signal-level rectification rather than power handling.
Thermal performance is defined by a 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance under natural convection with 4 mm lead length, and operation is rated from –65 °C to +125 °C junction temperature. The device lacks integrated ESD protection beyond inherent junction robustness.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VF @ 2 mA | 0.26 V - Enables signal detection below 0.3 V threshold, critical for weak RF envelope detection |
| VRRM | 30 V - Supports operation in 24 V logic-supplied analog front-ends and telecom line interfaces |
| IF Continuous | 200 mA - Sufficient for biasing low-current active circuits without heatsinking |
| trr | 5 ns - Allows reliable operation up to ~45 MHz switching in clipping/clamping topologies |
| Cj @ 1 V | 7 pF - Minimizes capacitive loading in high-impedance RF detector nodes |
| Rth(j-a) | 300 °C/W - Limits self-heating to <15 °C rise at 100 mW dissipation in open-air mounting |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package with cathode identified by a ring at one end; leads are tinned copper alloy, 0.458–0.558 mm diameter, 3.05–4.50 mm body length, 1.53–2.00 mm body diameter, weight 0.15 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node in rectifier or clamp; requires no series resistor for signal-level currents |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with color ring; ties to reference or higher-potential rail; reverse leakage <0.5 µA at 25 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low forward voltage | 0.26 V at 2 mA - Reduces signal loss in RF detector diodes and precision clamp circuits |
| Nanosecond reverse recovery | 5 ns - Eliminates tail current in fast-switching sample-and-hold and pulse shaping |
| Low junction capacitance | 7 pF at 1 V reverse bias - Preserves high-frequency response in 45 MHz RF mixer/limiter stages |
| Wide operating temperature range | –65 °C to +125 °C - Validated for industrial and automotive under-hood sensor interface use |
Applications
| RF Detector Circuit | Low-Voltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Demodulating AM signals in portable radios and RFID readers using passive envelope detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-level rectifier converting RF carrier amplitude into baseband voltage. Use Value: 0.26 V VF enables detection of sub-100 mV input envelopes without preamplification. | Use Scenario: Protecting ADC inputs from transient overvoltage in data acquisition systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp limiting input swing to VDD + 0.3 V. Use Value: 5 ns trr prevents latch-up during multi-MHz sampling edge transients. |
| Sample-and-Hold Input Stage | DC Power Path Steering |
Use Scenario: Isolating hold capacitor from op-amp output during acquisition phase in precision ADC front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage, low-VF switch enabling <10 nA hold capacitor discharge error. Use Value: 0.5 µA IR at 25 V ensures <0.1 mV/sec drift on 1 nF hold capacitor. | Use Scenario: OR-ing two 3.3 V supply rails in redundant power architectures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive ideal diode replacement minimizing forward drop and heat generation. Use Value: 0.33 V VF at 15 mA reduces power loss by >60% vs. standard silicon diodes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5711 | VF = 0.45 V @ 10 mA; Cj = 4 pF @ 0 V; trr = 500 ps | Higher VF limits weak-signal detection; lower C supports >100 MHz RF use | Prefer for UHF detector where capacitance dominates, accept higher VF |
| BAT54 | SOT-23 package; dual configuration; VF = 0.33 V @ 10 mA; IF = 200 mA | Surface-mount only; not axial; higher thermal resistance (~400 °C/W) | Choose for space-constrained PCBs requiring dual diodes or automated assembly |
Compared with BAT43, 1N5711 offers superior RF bandwidth but sacrifices low-bias sensitivity, while BAT54 trades axial through-hole reliability and thermal performance for SMT density and dual functionality - selection depends on layout constraints and signal amplitude requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum soldering temperature for BAT43?
The BAT43 is rated for a maximum soldering temperature of 230 °C for 10 seconds at 4 mm from the case. This specification assumes convection-only heating; wave soldering profiles must limit peak temperature exposure to avoid glass-body cracking or internal bond degradation.
Can BAT43 replace BAT42 in existing designs?
Yes - BAT43 and BAT42 share identical DO-35 packaging, absolute ratings, and thermal characteristics. The primary difference is forward voltage: BAT43 has lower VF (0.26 V @ 2 mA) versus BAT42 (0.4 V @ 2 mA), making it preferable in ultra-low-signal applications without circuit modification.
Is BAT43 suitable for reverse polarity protection?
No - BAT43 is not recommended for reverse polarity protection due to its 30 V VRRM and lack of surge current rating beyond 4 A single-pulse (10 ms). Dedicated protection diodes like SMAJ33A offer higher robustness, standardized TVS clamping, and guaranteed avalanche energy handling.
What is the typical reverse leakage at 100 °C?
At 100 °C junction temperature and 25 V reverse bias, BAT43 exhibits typical reverse leakage current of 100 µA. This value is specified in the datasheet's Fig. 3 and impacts hold capacitor discharge rate in high-temperature sample-and-hold applications.
