Product details
Overview
BAT54C-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-common-cathode surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in SOT23 package, rated for 30V peak reverse voltage and 200mA average forward current, with 0.8V max forward voltage at 100mA and 2μA max reverse leakage at 25V, used for polarity protection and signal clamping in low-voltage DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BAT54C-7 datasheet, BAT54C-7 pinout, BAT54C-7 application, or BAT54C-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-cathode configuration, fast 5ns reverse recovery time, low-capacitance (10pF at 1V), PN junction guard ring for ESD robustness, and JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial and automotive-adjacent designs.
Technical Context
The BAT54C-7 integrates two independent Schottky diodes sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling bidirectional clamping or dual-path rectification in compact layouts. Its low 0.8V forward voltage drop minimizes conduction loss in 3.3V/5V systems, while the 5ns reverse recovery time supports high-frequency switching up to ~100MHz.
Designed with a PN junction guard ring, it achieves 2μA reverse leakage at 25V and withstands transient events per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15kV air, ±8kV contact). Thermal resistance of 500°C/W (Junction-to-Ambient) requires derating above +75°C ambient per Figure 4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; sets upper limit for input rail protection in 24V systems. |
| IO | 200 mA - Continuous DC current handling per diode; suitable for logic-level signal routing and low-power bias networks. |
| VF max | 0.8 V @ 100 mA - Low conduction loss enables efficient clamping in battery-powered sensors and USB interface lines. |
| IR max | 2 μA @ 25 V - Tight leakage spec ensures minimal standby current drain in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| tRR | 5 ns - Fast recovery enables use in 10–50 MHz clock line clamping without signal distortion. |
| CT | 10 pF @ 1 V - Low junction capacitance preserves signal integrity in high-speed data lines (e.g., I²C, SPI). |
| RθJA | 500 °C/W - Requires thermal pad or copper pour on PCB for sustained >100mA operation above +75°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (Standard), 3-terminal plastic molded case, 2.9mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm body, matte tin-plated alloy-42 leadframe, RoHS-compliant "Green" compound (UL 94V-0).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode 1 | Input node for first Schottky diode; connects to protected signal or supply source. |
| 2 | Cathode (Common) | Shared return path for both diodes; ties to reference rail (e.g., GND or VCC). |
| 3 | Anode 2 | Input node for second Schottky diode; enables dual-input clamping or redundancy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-cathode topology | Reduces board space by 40% vs. two discrete SOT23 diodes; simplifies layout for dual-rail protection. |
| PN junction guard ring | Provides ESD immunity to ±8kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2), eliminating need for external TVS in many sensor interfaces. |
| Low 0.8V VF at 100mA | Enables <10mW conduction loss in 3.3V GPIO clamping, critical for ultra-low-power IoT endpoints. |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Validated per AEC-Q200 stress tests; supports extended-life deployments in industrial control and telematics modules. |
Applications
| USB Data Line Protection | Low-Voltage Logic Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− lines in USB 2.0 peripherals against ESD and overvoltage transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode Schottky clamp referenced to VDD, limiting voltage excursions to ≤0.8V above rail. Use Value: Prevents damage to USB transceivers without adding series resistance or degrading 480Mbps signal rise/fall times. | Use Scenario: Clamping I²C SDA/SCL pins to prevent latch-up during hot-plug or level-shifting events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage limiter using shared cathode tied to 3.3V, with anodes on signal lines. Use Value: Maintains <10pF loading and sub-5ns response to preserve 1MHz I²C timing margins. |
| DC Power Rail Polarity Guard | Signal Integrity Filter Stage |
Use Scenario: Preventing reverse-current flow in dual-battery backup systems or modular power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Back-to-back anode connection with common cathode to system ground, blocking reverse conduction. Use Value: Adds only 0.8V dropout at full load, avoiding thermal runaway risks seen with MOSFET-based ideal diodes. | Use Scenario: Filtering high-frequency noise on analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistor or Hall-effect ICs). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance shunt path to ground, absorbing RF energy above 100MHz. Use Value: Suppresses EMI without distorting DC-coupled sensor signals due to absence of series impedance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Schottky clamping applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBAT54CWT1G | Same SOT-23 package, identical electrical specs, but uses ON Semiconductor's proprietary process with tighter VF distribution (0.75V typ). | Preferred in high-volume automotive modules where lot-to-lot VF consistency impacts calibration stability. | Select when traceability to AEC-Q101 test reports is required; otherwise functionally interchangeable. |
| BAT54CW-7-F | Identical Diodes part number prefix but with wettable flank terminations for automated optical inspection (AOI) compatibility. | Required for Class III IPC-A-610 assembly lines where solder joint void detection mandates side-wall solder coverage. | Choose for new production builds targeting IPC Class 3 compliance; no electrical or thermal trade-offs. |
Compared with SBAT54CWT1G and BAT54CW-7-F, the BAT54C-7 offers baseline industrial-grade performance with standard terminations and broad distributor availability-ideal for prototyping and mid-volume industrial controls where AOI or AEC-Q101 certification are not mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode in the BAT54C-7?
The BAT54C-7 is rated for 200mA average forward current per diode at +25°C ambient with recommended FR-4 PCB pad layout. Derating is required above +75°C ambient per the power derating curve in Figure 4 of DS11005 Rev. 34–2, reaching zero dissipation at +150°C.
Does the BAT54C-7 have built-in ESD protection?
Yes-the BAT54C-7 incorporates a PN junction guard ring structure that provides inherent ESD robustness, validated to IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8kV contact, ±15kV air). This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in many low-energy interface applications like I²C or GPIO protection.
How does the dual-common-cathode configuration affect circuit layout?
The shared cathode (Pin 2) simplifies grounding in clamping applications: both anodes (Pins 1 and 3) connect to separate signal lines, while the cathode ties directly to the reference rail. This avoids floating nodes and reduces net count versus two discrete diodes, improving signal integrity in dense layouts.
Is the BAT54C-7 suitable for automotive applications?
The standard BAT54C-7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive use, Diodes offers the pin-compatible BAT54CQ-7-F variant, which undergoes additional stress testing per AEC-Q200 and is documented in a separate datasheet (DS11005Q). Industrial temperature range (–65°C to +150°C) remains identical.
