Product details
Overview
BAT54CW-QF from Nexperia is a dual common-cathode Schottky barrier diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 30 V reverse voltage, 800 mV forward voltage at 100 mA, and 5 ns reverse recovery time. It features low capacitance (10 pF), AEC-Q101 qualification, and integrated guard ring for stress protection-used in automotive line termination and reverse polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAT54CW-QF datasheet, BAT54CW-QF pinout, BAT54CW-QF application, or BAT54CW-QF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-diode topology with shared cathode, ultrafast switching performance, low VF across 0.1–100 mA range, and thermal resistance of 625 K/W on FR4 PCB.
Technical Context
This dual Schottky diode integrates two anodes (A1, A2) and one common cathode (K1/K2) in a single SC-70 footprint, enabling compact dual-path clamping or steering without discrete pairing. Its planar structure with guard ring enhances ESD and transient robustness beyond standard Schottky devices.
The device operates with pulsed forward current up to 300 mA (IFRM), non-repetitive surge capability of 600 mA (IFSM), and junction temperature limit of 150 °C-supporting sustained operation in under-hood automotive environments where ambient reaches 125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 30 V maximum - defines absolute clamp threshold before breakdown in voltage-clamp or reverse-polarity protection designs. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 800 mV at 100 mA - enables low-loss power path switching and minimizes conduction loss in 3.3 V/5 V rail steering. |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 5 ns - supports >100 MHz signal line termination and high-speed data bus clamping without ringing. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 10 pF at 1 V - preserves signal integrity in USB, I²C, and CAN FD stubs by limiting capacitive loading. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 2 µA at 25 V - ensures minimal leakage in battery-backed circuits and low-power always-on monitoring nodes. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 625 K/W on FR4 - requires careful PCB copper area design to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C at 200 mW dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in SOT323 (SC-70), a 3-lead surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm with 1.3 mm lead pitch and tin-plated terminations compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (Diode 1) | Input node for first Schottky path; connects to signal source or supply rail requiring clamping or steering. |
| 2 | Anode (Diode 2) | Independent input node for second Schottky path; enables dual-rail protection or OR-ing configuration. |
| 3 | Common Cathode (K1/K2) | Shared output node tied to reference (e.g., VCC or GND); defines clamping direction and current return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, HAST, and ESD testing per JESD22 standards. |
| Integrated guard ring | Improves ruggedness against EOS transients and localized junction failure during voltage overshoot events. |
| Low 10 pF capacitance | Enables use in 100+ Mbps digital interfaces without degrading edge rate or causing reflection-induced jitter. |
| 5 ns trr | Supports clean switching in PWM-controlled LED drivers and synchronous rectifier auxiliary paths. |
| SOT323 footprint | Reduces board area by >40% vs. SOT23 while maintaining compatibility with automated pick-and-place and reflow processes. |
Applications
| Automotive LIN Bus Protection | USB 2.0 Data Line Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN transceiver pins from load-dump transients and ESD events in body control modules.

Use Value: Prevents latch-up and permanent damage during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (12 V system) without adding external TVS components. |
Use Scenario: Limiting D+ and D− voltage excursions during hot-plug insertion and ESD discharge in embedded USB peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping element placed between data lines and 3.3 V supply, leveraging common-cathode topology.

| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Power Supply OR-ing Circuit |
Use Scenario: Protecting analog front-end inputs of 4–20 mA loop-powered sensors from reverse wiring and cable EMI coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse polarity protector and overvoltage clamp placed ahead of precision op-amps and ADC drivers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS40201MR6T5G | Same SOT-363 (SC-70-6) package but with separate cathodes; VF = 750 mV @ 100 mA; trr = 6 ns. | Lacks common-cathode topology-requires additional routing for shared return, increasing layout complexity in space-constrained modules. | Select when independent cathode control is needed for bidirectional clamping or isolated rail steering. |
| Vishay SMBJ5.0A-E3/52 | Single-channel 5 V TVS diode in DO-214AA; not Schottky; VF undefined; clamping voltage = 9.2 V (min). | Designed for high-energy surge suppression-not for signal-level clamping or ultrafast switching. | Choose only for primary overvoltage protection upstream of BAT54CW-QF; never as functional replacement. |
Compared with NSS40201MR6T5G and SMBJ5.0A-E3/52, BAT54CW-QF uniquely delivers dual-anode/common-cathode integration, sub-1 V forward drop, and 5 ns switching in a 3-pin SC-70-enabling compact, low-loss, automotive-qualified signal conditioning where topology and timing are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for BAT54CW-QF?
The maximum continuous forward current per diode is 200 mA at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB with standard footprint. Derating applies above 25 °C ambient-junction temperature must remain ≤150 °C. At 85 °C ambient, max IF drops to approximately 120 mA based on Rth(j-a) = 625 K/W and Ptot = 200 mW limit.
Can BAT54CW-QF be used for reverse polarity protection in a 12 V automotive system?
Yes-BAT54CW-QF supports reverse polarity protection with its 30 V VR rating and low 800 mV VF at 100 mA. When placed in series with the positive rail, it blocks reverse connection while adding minimal voltage drop. Its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for 12 V vehicle electrical systems including start-stop and load-dump conditions.
Is the common cathode (Pin 3) internally bonded or externally accessible?
Pin 3 is a single externally accessible terminal that connects to both internal cathodes (K1 and K2). The datasheet pinning table explicitly labels it "K1, K2 common cathode", and the simplified outline shows one bond wire connecting Pin 3 to both die cathodes-confirming true internal common-cathode construction, not external tying.
How does BAT54CW-QF differ from the standard BAT54CW (non-Q) version?
The BAT54CW-QF is the AEC-Q101-qualified variant with enhanced test coverage including extended temperature cycling, biased HAST, and ESD testing per JESD22-A114. It carries full automotive traceability, lot-level qualification records, and tighter parametric limits on IR and VF-whereas the standard BAT54CW is commercial-grade and not certified for automotive use.
