Product details
Overview
BAT54AD from Taiwan Semiconductor is a dual-channel Schottky barrier diode in SOT-363 package, rated for 200 mA forward current and 30 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, with 1.00 V forward voltage at 100 mA and 5 ns reverse recovery time - used for high-speed clamping and polarity protection in compact DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BAT54AD datasheet, BAT54AD pinout, BAT54AD application, or BAT54AD equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-diode configuration, low VF at low-to-moderate currents, sub-10 ns trr, SOT-363 thermal resistance (625°C/W), and moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance.
Technical Context
The BAT54AD integrates two independent Schottky diodes in a single SOT-363 package with common cathode configuration (pinout: 1–Anode A, 2–Cathode, 3–Anode B, 4–NC, 5–Cathode, 6–NC). It operates across –65°C to +150°C junction temperature range and supports fast switching via low stored charge and minimal reverse recovery time.
Each diode exhibits VF ≤ 0.50 V at 30 mA and ≤ 1.00 V at 100 mA, IR ≤ 2 μA at 25 V reverse bias, and CT ≤ 10 pF at 1 V - enabling efficient voltage clamping and low-loss reverse polarity protection without significant capacitive loading on signal or supply lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF (Continuous) | 200 mA - maximum steady-state forward current per diode without derating at 25°C ambient |
| VRRM | 30 V - peak reverse voltage each diode withstands continuously without breakdown |
| VF @ 100 mA | 1.00 V - forward drop limiting conduction loss in low-voltage rail protection circuits |
| trr | 5 ns - enables operation in >10 MHz switching applications with minimal switching loss |
| RθJA | 625 °C/W - thermal resistance requiring careful PCB copper area allocation for sustained 200 mA operation |
| IR @ 25 V | ≤2 μA - ensures negligible leakage in battery-backed or high-impedance sensing paths |
| CT @ 1 V | ≤10 pF - minimizes signal distortion in RF detector or high-speed logic interface clamping |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-363 (6-pin, 1.3 mm × 2.1 mm × 0.95 mm), surface-mount, matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode of Diode A | Input node for first Schottky path; connects to protected source or signal line |
| 2 | Cathode (Common) | Shared cathode node - ties both diodes to reference (e.g., ground or VCC rail) |
| 3 | Anode of Diode B | Input node for second independent Schottky path; enables dual-rail or redundancy use |
| 4 | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or solder mask required |
| 5 | Cathode (Common) | Redundant cathode terminal - electrically identical to Pin 2; improves current sharing and thermal path |
| 6 | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or termination needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-cathode Schottky diodes | Enables compact dual-rail clamping or redundant polarity protection in one footprint |
| Fast reverse recovery (trr ≤ 5 ns) | Supports high-frequency transient suppression without ringback or shoot-through in DC/DC feedback paths |
| Low VF (≤0.50 V @ 30 mA) | Reduces forward conduction loss in battery-powered systems where voltage headroom is critical |
| SOT-363 with MS Level 1 rating | Allows standard reflow assembly without baking; compatible with high-volume automated SMT lines |
| Junction temp range: –65°C to +150°C | Validates operation in automotive under-hood and industrial motor-control environments |
Applications
| USB Port Protection | DC-DC Feedback Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Preventing damage from accidental reverse insertion or hot-plug ESD transients on USB Type-A/B data and power lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-diode BAT54AD provides separate anode paths for VBUS and D+/D− lines, with shared cathode tied to system ground. Use Value: Sub-1 V VF avoids degrading USB 5 V regulation margin; 5 ns trr prevents data corruption during hot-swap events. | Use Scenario: Limiting overshoot on feedback nodes of buck converters operating above 500 kHz switching frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: BAT54AD clamps feedback resistor divider output to reference rail, preventing controller latch-up during load transients. Use Value: 10 pF capacitance avoids phase shift in control loop; 5 ns recovery maintains loop stability at high frequencies. |
| Industrial Sensor Power Polarity Guard | Low-Voltage Logic-Level Shifting |
Use Scenario: Protecting 3.3 V or 5 V analog sensor modules from miswired field wiring in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: BAT54AD placed in series with sensor VDD input, with cathode to system rail and anode to connector - blocks reverse current. Use Value: 200 mA IF rating supports typical 100–150 mA sensor loads; 1.00 V VF adds <2% error at 3.3 V nominal supply. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional level translation between 1.8 V I²C master and 3.3 V peripheral using passive diode-based method. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: BAT54AD's matched dual diodes implement low-cost, low-capacitance direction-aware clamping on SDA/SCL lines. Use Value: Matched VF ensures symmetrical rise/fall times; 10 pF CT preserves >400 kHz I²C timing integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2016LFG-7 | Single-channel, 20 V VRRM, 1.2 A IF - higher current but lower voltage rating and different package (SOT-563) | Not suitable for 30 V clamping; requires layout change due to different pinout and size | Select only when >200 mA continuous current is required and 30 V rating is not needed |
| NSR0230P2T5G | Dual common-cathode, same SOT-363, but VF = 0.36 V @ 100 mA - lower forward drop, 30 V VRRM, 200 mA IF | Superior for ultra-low-drop applications; identical pinout and footprint | Preferred where <0.5 V VF is critical; verify IR spec (0.5 μA max) suits high-impedance nodes |
Compared with DMN2016LFG-7 and NSR0230P2T5G, the BAT54AD offers balanced 30 V/200 mA capability in a widely adopted SOT-363 dual-diode configuration - making it optimal for general-purpose clamping and polarity protection where moderate VF and proven reliability are prioritized over extreme low-drop or high-current performance.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of the BAT54AD?
The BAT54AD uses a 6-pin SOT-363 package with pins configured as follows: Pin 1 = Anode A, Pin 2 = Common Cathode, Pin 3 = Anode B, Pin 4 = No Connect, Pin 5 = Common Cathode (redundant), Pin 6 = No Connect. This dual-anode, common-cathode arrangement allows independent clamping paths sharing one reference node - confirmed in Taiwan Semiconductor's official datasheet revision H2111.
Does the BAT54AD support bidirectional signal clamping?
No - the BAT54AD contains two anodes and a shared cathode, so it supports unidirectional clamping from either anode to cathode (e.g., to ground or VCC). For true bidirectional clamping, external circuitry such as back-to-back diodes or a dedicated TVS is required. The BAT54AD datasheet specifies no reverse conduction path between anodes.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the BAT54AD at room temperature?
The BAT54AD has a maximum power dissipation (PD) of 200 mW at TA = 25°C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Derating begins above 25°C at 1.6 mW/°C (based on RθJA = 625°C/W), meaning usable power drops to ~100 mW at 85°C ambient - critical for sustained 200 mA operation in enclosed enclosures.
Is the BAT54AD RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes - the BAT54AD is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version H2111). It also meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and JESD 201 class 1A whisker resistance requirements.
Can the BAT54AD replace the BAT54C in the same PCB layout?
No - the BAT54C uses a common-anode configuration (anodes tied together), while the BAT54AD uses common-cathode. Their pinouts differ: BAT54C marks cathodes on Pins 1 and 3, whereas BAT54AD places cathodes on Pins 2 and 5. Swapping them without layout modification will cause functional failure. Always verify marking code (KL6 for BAT54AD) and schematic symbol polarity before substitution.
