Product details
Overview
BAV21WS RRG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a single-die, high-voltage SMD switching diode in SOD-323F package, rated for 250 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 200 mA average forward current (IF), and 1.25 V forward voltage at 200 mA - used in on-board DC/DC converters and lighting applications.
For engineers reviewing the BAV21WS RRG datasheet, BAV21WS RRG pinout, BAV21WS RRG application, or BAV21WS RRG equivalent, key selection factors include its 250 V VRRM, 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr), 5 pF junction capacitance (CJ), moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance, and halogen-free green compound construction.
Technical Context
The BAV21WS RRG is a silicon planar epitaxial switching diode optimized for fast transient response in high-frequency power conversion circuits. Its 50 ns trr and low 5 pF CJ support efficient operation in SMPS and DC/DC topologies up to several hundred kHz.
It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range with 2.5 A non-repetitive surge capability (t = 1 μs) and meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 250 V - supports input rectification in 24–48 V industrial DC bus systems with safety margin |
| IF | 200 mA continuous - suitable for low-to-medium power signal-level switching and clamp functions |
| trr | 50 ns - enables stable operation in 200–500 kHz switching converters without excessive switching loss |
| CJ | 5 pF at 0 V - minimizes capacitive loading on high-speed control nodes and gate drive paths |
| VF @ 200 mA | 1.25 V - contributes to <250 mW total power dissipation under full-rated DC conduction |
| Moisture Sensitivity | Level 1 per J-STD-020 - allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking |
Pinout & Package
SOD-323F surface-mount plastic package with cathode-indicated marking (S7 code), matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and JEDEC SC-90 / EIAJ ED-7500A-1 compliant outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry node | Connected to lower-potential side in clamping or freewheeling paths; requires thermal relief in PCB layout |
| Cathode | Forward current exit node / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by band on package; ties to higher-potential rail in flyback snubbers or output rectifiers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High surge current capability | 2.5 A peak (1 μs pulse) - withstands inrush and fault transients in adapter primary-side snubbers |
| Low forward voltage | 1.25 V @ 200 mA - reduces conduction loss in space-constrained DC/DC feedback or bias winding rectifiers |
| Fast reverse recovery | 50 ns - limits reverse recovery charge (Qrr) to ~1.5 nC, minimizing EMI in high-dV/dt environments |
| Halogen-free green compound | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 - satisfies RoHS and environmental compliance for export-grade lighting and industrial modules |
Applications
| SMPS Primary-Side Snubber | LED Driver Flyback Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Absorbs leakage inductance energy during MOSFET turn-off in offline flyback converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching clamp diode placed across transformer primary and MOSFET drain. Use Value: 250 V VRRM and 50 ns trr prevent voltage overshoot beyond 400 V while maintaining efficiency. | Use Scenario: Provides path for stored inductor energy during LED driver IC off-time in buck-derived topologies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode synchronized with controller's low-side switch. Use Value: 200 mA IF rating and 1.25 V VF ensure minimal dropout and thermal rise in compact 12 V input LED modules. |
| USB-C PD Adapter Rectifier | Industrial Sensor Signal Clamping |
Use Scenario: Rectifies auxiliary bias winding output in multi-output USB-C PD adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side output rectifier delivering 5–20 V bias power to controller ICs. Use Value: SOD-323F footprint enables dense layout; 250 V rating accommodates reflected transients up to 200 V. | Use Scenario: Protects analog front-end inputs of PLC I/O modules from ±15 V ESD or cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping diode (anode-to-rail, cathode-to-rail) limiting voltage excursions. Use Value: 0.1 µA max reverse leakage at 200 V ensures negligible offset error in precision 24-bit ADC signal chains. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV21W,115 (Nexperia) | VRRM = 250 V, trr = 50 ns, but SOD-123FL package (larger footprint, higher thermal mass) | Less suitable for ultra-dense layouts where SOD-323F area savings matter | Select when board-level thermal management prioritizes higher PD margin over footprint size |
| MMBD2102LT1G (ON Semiconductor) | VRRM = 200 V (lower), trr = 50 ns, same SOD-323 package, but not halogen-free certified | Not compliant with IEC 61249-2-21; unsuitable for green-certified lighting products | Choose only if halogen-free requirement is waived and 200 V VRRM suffices for system derating |
Compared with BAV21WS RRG, the Nexperia BAV21W,115 offers identical electrical specs but larger SOD-123FL packaging - trading board area for thermal robustness; ON Semiconductor's MMBD2102LT1G lacks halogen-free certification and has lower 200 V VRRM, limiting use in 24 V+ industrial transient environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for BAV21WS RRG?
The BAV21WS RRG has a guaranteed VRRM of 250 V, verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's K2212 datasheet revision. This rating applies under standard test conditions (TA = 25 °C, specified pulse waveform), and the device maintains reliable blocking behavior up to this voltage in continuous AC or DC reverse-biased operation. Derating is recommended above 125 °C ambient.
Does BAV21WS RRG meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, BAV21WS RRG complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, confirmed by the "G" suffix in its ordering code. The SOD-323F package uses green molding compound with no brominated flame retardants, making it suitable for environmentally regulated lighting and industrial equipment.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of BAV21WS RRG and how is it tested?
The BAV21WS RRG has a maximum trr of 50 ns, measured under standardized conditions: IF = IR = 30 mA, RL = 100 Ω, and Irr = 3 mA. This value reflects the diode's ability to transition from forward conduction to reverse blocking, critical for minimizing switching losses in high-frequency DC/DC converters.
Is BAV21WS RRG suitable for use in automotive applications?
No - Taiwan Semiconductor explicitly states that the BAV21WS RRG is not designed for medical, life-saving, or life-sustaining applications, and does not qualify for AEC-Q101 stress testing. It is intended for industrial, computing, and consumer power conversion; automotive designs require AEC-Q101-qualified alternatives with validated PPAP documentation.
What does the "RRG" suffix mean in BAV21WS RRG?
The "RRG" suffix in BAV21WS RRG indicates SOD-323F packaging, 3,000-unit 7-inch tape-and-reel delivery, and halogen-free ("G") green compound per IEC 61249-2-21. It distinguishes this variant from R9 (10,000-unit 13-inch reel) and non-green RRG variants without the "G" designation.
