Product details
Overview
BAT54CTC from ON Semiconductor is a dual common-cathode silicon epitaxial Schottky barrier diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 30 V reverse voltage, 200 mA continuous forward current, and 400 mV forward voltage at 10 mA. It delivers low-loss rectification and fast switching (5 ns reverse recovery) in compact DC-DC converter outputs and high-frequency signal clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAT54CTC datasheet, BAT54CTC pinout, BAT54CTC application, or BAT54CTC equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual common-cathode configuration, 5 ns trr, 330 mW power dissipation at 25°C, and guaranteed 30 V VR rating under continuous operation.
Technical Context
The BAT54CTC integrates two independent Schottky diodes sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-path clamping in space-constrained layouts. Its epitaxial construction ensures stable VF across temperature (135–530 mV from 0.1 mA to 100 mA) and low junction capacitance (7.5–10 pF at 1 V).
Designed for high-speed switching, it sustains repetitive peak forward current up to 300 mA and non-repetitive surges to 600 mA (t < 1 s), with thermal derating to 100°C junction temperature for simultaneous dual-device operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Device Type | Dual common-cathode Schottky diode - enables shared cathode routing for compact dual-path protection or rectification |
| VR (Continuous) | 30 V - supports 24 V rail clamping and 12 V/5 V DC-DC output rectification without breakdown |
| IF (Continuous) | 200 mA - sufficient for low-power logic-level signal steering and auxiliary supply paths |
| VF @ 10 mA | 400 mV - reduces conduction loss by ~60% vs. standard silicon PN diodes in same bias condition |
| trr | 5 ns - enables reliable operation in >10 MHz switching applications such as RF detector front-ends |
| Ptot @ 25°C | 330 mW - defines maximum steady-state power handling before thermal shutdown in SOT-23 footprint |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 surface-mount package with gull-wing leads; 3-pin configuration where Pin 1 and Pin 3 are anodes, Pin 2 is the common cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Independent input path for first Schottky junction; routed separately for dual-channel clamping |
| Pin 2 | Common Cathode | Shared return node for both diodes - simplifies PCB layout and reduces ground loop area |
| Pin 3 | Anode of Diode 2 | Independent input path for second Schottky junction; enables differential or redundant signal paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | VF = 400 mV @ 10 mA - minimizes voltage drop and self-heating in battery-powered signal paths |
| Fast reverse recovery | trr = 5 ns - prevents charge storage distortion in high-frequency envelope detection |
| Dual common-cathode topology | Single-package dual diode with shared cathode - eliminates need for two discrete SOT-23s and matching layout |
| High surge capability | IFSM = 600 mA (t < 1 s) - withstands transient inrush during hot-plug or power-up sequencing |
Applications
| USB Data Line Protection | DC-DC Converter Output Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping ESD transients on USB D+ and D− lines while preserving signal integrity up to 480 Mbps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual Schottky clamp protecting bidirectional data lines with shared cathode tied to VBUS or ground reference. Use Value: 5 ns trr avoids signal edge degradation; 400 mV VF ensures minimal insertion loss during normal operation. | Use Scenario: Synchronous rectification in 3.3 V/5 V buck converter outputs for portable electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-VF dual diode replacing single MOSFETs in cost-sensitive designs where gate drive complexity must be avoided. Use Value: 200 mA IF rating and 30 V VR support 5 V output rails with margin; SOT-23 footprint saves board area vs. SO-8 alternatives. |
| RF Detector Input Stage | Logic-Level Signal Steering |
Use Scenario: Demodulating AM signals in 900 MHz ISM-band receivers using zero-bias detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (7.5 pF) Schottky pair acting as envelope detector with minimal loading on tuned tank circuit. Use Value: 10 pF max CD at 1 V reverse bias preserves Q-factor of 1 nH–100 pF resonators; 5 ns trr enables accurate demodulation. | Use Scenario: Selecting between two microcontroller GPIO outputs driving a shared LED or indicator line. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OR-ing diode network with common cathode connected to load, anodes driven by separate I/O pins. Use Value: 400 mV VF ensures full logic-high recognition at 3.3 V MCU outputs; dual integration eliminates discrete placement error risk. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV99 | Common-cathode dual, but higher VF (≈600 mV @ 10 mA) and slower trr (4 ns typical, but not specified min/max) | Less suitable for ultra-low-loss 3.3 V signal paths; acceptable for general-purpose clamping | Select BAV99 only when VF tolerance >500 mV and trr consistency is non-critical |
| NSR0230HT1G | Single Schottky in SOD-123; no dual configuration - requires two devices for common-cathode function | Increases PCB area and layout complexity; lacks integrated common node | Choose NSR0230HT1G only if discrete replacement is mandated by existing layout or procurement constraints |
Compared with BAV99 and NSR0230HT1G, BAT54CTC uniquely combines verified 400 mV VF at 10 mA, guaranteed 5 ns trr, and true dual common-cathode integration - making it optimal for space- and loss-sensitive dual-path applications where thermal coupling and layout symmetry matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous dual-diode operation?
The BAT54CTC is rated for 125°C maximum junction temperature under single-diode operation. For simultaneous continuous use of both diodes, the datasheet specifies derating to 100°C Tj to maintain reliability and prevent thermal runaway due to shared cathode thermal path.
Can BAT54CTC replace BAT54C in existing designs?
Yes - BAT54CTC and BAT54C share identical electrical specifications, SOT-23 package, and pinout (Pin 1 = Anode 1, Pin 2 = Common Cathode, Pin 3 = Anode 2). The "T" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging; electrical and thermal performance are fully interchangeable.
Is the 30 V VR rating absolute maximum or recommended operating value?
The 30 V VR is the absolute maximum continuous reverse voltage - exceeding this risks irreversible avalanche breakdown. Designers should maintain ≤24 V reverse bias in 85°C ambient environments to ensure margin against temperature-induced leakage increase and long-term reliability.
How does the dual common-cathode configuration affect PCB layout versus two singles?
The shared cathode (Pin 2) eliminates one net connection and reduces copper pour area by ~35% compared to two discrete SOT-23 diodes. This lowers parasitic inductance in high-dI/dt paths and improves thermal coupling - critical for matched switching behavior in clamping or OR-ing applications.
