Product details
Overview
BAV23S-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount high-voltage dual switching diode in SOT23 package, featuring 250 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 400 mA forward current (IF), and 50 ns reverse recovery time (tRR). It serves as a compact, fast-switching protection and signal routing element in DC-DC converter flyback snubbers, battery backup path selectors, and low-power logic-level clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAV23S-7 datasheet, BAV23S-7 pinout, BAV23S-7 application, or BAV23S-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-common-cathode configuration, 100 nA reverse leakage at 200 V/25°C, JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial environments, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
The BAV23S-7 integrates two independent silicon switching diodes in a single SOT23-3 package with common cathode connection - confirmed by top-view marking diagrams and internal schematic in DS30042 Rev. 23-2. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 357°C/W under standard FR-4 mounting conditions, enabling operation up to +150°C ambient.
This device operates as a high-speed, high-voltage clamp or steering diode where fast tRR (≤50 ns) and low CT (≤5.0 pF at 0 V) minimize switching losses and capacitive loading in 1–10 MHz signal paths. The 250 V V(BR)R rating supports use in 24 V and 48 V industrial bus protection without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 250 V - Withstands repetitive reverse transients up to 250 V without breakdown, suitable for 48 V system overvoltage clamping. |
| IF | 400 mA - Continuous forward current per diode; supports dual-diode parallel load sharing in power path OR-ing. |
| tRR | 50 ns - Enables efficient switching in PWM frequencies up to ~2 MHz with minimal tail current loss. |
| VF | 1.0 V @ 100 mA - Low forward drop reduces conduction loss in battery-powered signal routing applications. |
| CT | 5.0 pF @ 0 V - Minimal junction capacitance preserves signal integrity in high-frequency data line clamping. |
| IR | 100 nA @ 200 V, 25°C - Ultra-low leakage maintains precision bias networks and high-impedance sensing nodes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23-3, surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-plated terminals, JEDEC-compliant footprint (2.40 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.03 mm), moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Input node for first diode path; routed to external signal or power source requiring unidirectional conduction. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (Common) | Shared cathode connection for both diodes; ties to reference rail (e.g., VCC or ground) for clamping or OR-ing. |
| Pin 3 | Anode of Diode 2 | Independent input node for second diode path; enables dual-source selection or differential clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-cathode topology | Enables compact OR-ing of two independent power sources or signal paths using one SOT23 footprint. |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Qualified to AEC-Q standards for high-reliability industrial use, including extended temperature cycling (-55°C to +150°C). |
| Lead-free & halogen-free construction | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and "Green" definition (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb), supporting eco-compliant manufacturing. |
| Low thermal resistance mounting | 357°C/W RθJA on standard FR-4 allows full 400 mA rating without heatsinking in space-constrained designs. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Snubber | Battery Backup Path Selection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Suppresses voltage spikes across MOSFET drains in flyback and boost converters operating at 100–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery clamping diode absorbing inductive kickback energy into RC snubber network. Use Value: 50 ns tRR and 250 V VRRM prevent secondary breakdown while minimizing snubber loss vs. slower general-purpose diodes. | Use Scenario: Selects between main supply and backup battery in portable medical monitors and IoT edge sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode, common-cathode diode enabling automatic power source handover without control logic. Use Value: 100 nA IR prevents battery drain during standby; 1.0 V VF limits voltage drop in 3.3 V/5 V systems. |
| Logic-Level Signal Clamping | Industrial I/O Protection |
Use Scenario: Protects microcontroller GPIO pins from ESD and overvoltage transients on RS-232 or sensor interface lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping diode (with external pull-up/down) limiting input swing to safe MCU voltage rails. Use Value: 5.0 pF CT avoids signal distortion at 10 Mbps; low leakage preserves high-impedance input bias accuracy. | Use Scenario: Shields PLC digital input modules from 24 V field wiring surges and polarity reversals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-polarity and transient protection diode placed before optocoupler input stage. Use Value: 250 V VRRM withstands IEC 61000-4-5 surge tests; SOT23 footprint fits dense terminal block layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-voltage switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV23C-7-F | Same package and ratings, but common-anode configuration instead of common-cathode. | Requires inverted PCB layout and reversed biasing for clamping or OR-ing functions. | Select when circuit requires shared anode (e.g., positive-rail clamping to multiple sources). |
| MMBD2836LT1G | Lower VRRM (100 V), higher IF (500 mA), same SOT23-3 common-cathode pinout. | Suitable only for ≤24 V systems; not rated for 48 V industrial bus protection. | Choose for cost-sensitive 12–24 V applications where 250 V margin is unnecessary. |
Compared with BAV23C-7-F and MMBD2836LT1G, the BAV23S-7 uniquely balances 250 V standoff, common-cathode topology, and industrial temperature range - making it optimal for 48 V power path management and high-reliability clamping where polarity and voltage margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of BAV23S-7?
BAV23S-7 uses SOT23-3 package with Pin 1 = Anode 1, Pin 2 = Common Cathode, Pin 3 = Anode 2. This common-cathode arrangement is confirmed in Diodes' DS30042 Rev. 23-2 top-view diagram and electrical schematics, enabling dual-source OR-ing or bidirectional clamping when paired with external resistors.
Is BAV23S-7 suitable for automotive applications?
BAV23S-7 itself is not AEC-Q200 qualified; however, the automotive-grade variant BAV23SQ is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q200. Engineers designing for automotive must specify BAV23SQ-7-F or BAV23SQ-13-F to meet qualification requirements - BAV23S-7 is intended for industrial and commercial applications only.
How does BAV23S-7 differ from BAV23A-7-F?
BAV23A-7-F has a series-connected dual-diode configuration (anode–cathode–anode), whereas BAV23S-7 is common-cathode (anode–cathode–anode with shared cathode). This structural difference makes BAV23S-7 appropriate for power-path OR-ing, while BAV23A-7-F suits voltage-doubling or dual-series rectification topologies.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature during continuous operation?
The BAV23S-7 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Under full 400 mA forward current, junction temperature rise is limited by its 357°C/W thermal resistance; sustained operation above +125°C requires derating per Figure 1 power derating curve, with 0 mW dissipation at +150°C ambient.
