Product details
Overview
BAV70 from Nexperia is a high-speed switching double diode in SOT23 package, featuring common-cathode dual configuration, 100 V reverse voltage rating, ≤4 ns reverse recovery time, and ≤1.5 pF junction capacitance. It serves as a compact, low-capacitance signal routing or clamping element in digital logic interface protection and RF detector front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the BAV70 datasheet, BAV70 pinout, BAV70 application, or BAV70 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery speed under 10 mA switching conditions, common-cathode topology for shared return path, low leakage at 80 V bias, thermal resistance of 500 K/W on FR4, and compatibility with reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020.
Technical Context
The BAV70 integrates two independent silicon switching diodes sharing a single cathode terminal, enabling space-efficient dual-channel clamping or steering without inter-diode coupling. Its epitaxial planar construction delivers consistent trr ≤ 4 ns across temperature and low forward voltage dispersion (715–1250 mV at 1–150 mA).
Designed for signal integrity preservation in high-frequency paths, it maintains Cd ≤ 1.5 pF at 0 V bias and exhibits IR ≤ 0.5 µA at VR = 80 V and 25 °C - critical for low-power sampling circuits and precision analog front-ends where leakage-induced offset must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 100 V - supports rail-to-rail signal clamping up to ±80 V without breakdown |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | ≤4 ns - enables clean edge transitions in >100 MHz digital switching applications |
| Junction Capacitance (Cd) | ≤1.5 pF at 0 V - minimizes signal loading in RF detector and high-speed data line protection |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 855 mV at 10 mA - ensures low conduction loss in logic-level steering and level-shifting networks |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at 80 V, 25 °C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sample-and-hold or sensor bias networks |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW at 25 °C ambient - defines maximum continuous DC or pulsed power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package: 3-terminal, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm body, optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A1) | Anode of Diode 1 | Independent input node for first diode path; used for signal steering or clamping in channel A |
| 2 (A2) | Anode of Diode 2 | Independent input node for second diode path; enables dual-signal routing with shared cathode return |
| 3 (CC) | Common Cathode | Single output/return node for both diodes; reduces PCB trace count and simplifies grounding in dual-path designs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | trr ≤ 4 ns ensures minimal timing skew in clock/data line clamping and pulse shaping |
| Low junction capacitance | Cd ≤ 1.5 pF prevents high-frequency signal attenuation in RF detector and mixer IF stages |
| Common-cathode dual configuration | Reduces component count and layout area versus discrete diode pairs in dual-rail protection |
| Low leakage current | IR ≤ 0.5 µA at 80 V enables stable DC bias in precision analog monitoring circuits |
| SOT23 footprint compatibility | Standardized 3-pin SMD outline supports drop-in replacement and automated assembly scalability |
Applications
| USB Data Line Protection | Digital Logic Level Translation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping transient voltages on USB 2.0 D+ and D− lines during hot-plug events or ESD discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode, common-cathode diode pair provides symmetrical bidirectional clamping to VBUS and GND rails. Use Value: ≤4 ns trr prevents data eye distortion during 480 Mbps signaling; ≤1.5 pF Cd avoids signal integrity degradation. |
Use Scenario: Translating 3.3 V logic outputs to 5 V-tolerant inputs in mixed-voltage microcontroller interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Anode-connected signal path with cathode tied to higher rail enables passive level shifting without active circuitry. Use Value: 855 mV VF at 10 mA ensures minimal voltage drop; common-cathode structure simplifies PCB routing for dual-signal translation. |
| RF Detector Input Stage | High-Speed Oscilloscope Probe Compensation |
Use Scenario: Rectifying low-amplitude RF signals (e.g., 100–500 MHz) in envelope detection circuits for wireless receivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal rectifier with minimal parasitic capacitance and fast turn-off to preserve modulation fidelity. Use Value: ≤1.5 pF Cd avoids resonant peaking; ≤4 ns trr prevents harmonic generation and pulse broadening. |
Use Scenario: Compensating frequency response in 100+ MHz passive oscilloscope probe tip networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage clamping diode in probe's AC-coupled compensation feedback loop. Use Value: IR ≤ 0.5 µA at 80 V prevents DC drift in high-Z probe divider; SOT23 size fits tight tip layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed dual diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV99,215 | Same SOT23 package and common-cathode pinout; trr = 4 ns (typ), but Cd = 2 pF (max) - 0.5 pF higher than BAV70 | Higher capacitance limits use in >300 MHz RF paths where BAV70's 1.5 pF is critical | Select BAV99 only when cost sensitivity outweighs sub-100 MHz bandwidth requirements |
| MMBD7000LT1G | Identical trr ≤ 4 ns and VR = 100 V, but anode-cathode-anode (ACA) pinout - pin 1 = A1, pin 2 = C, pin 3 = A2 | Requires PCB layout revision due to non-common-cathode pin assignment; incompatible with direct BAV70 footprint reuse | Choose MMBD7000LT1G only when existing design uses ACA topology or requires alternate sourcing with same electrical specs |
Compared with BAV99,215 and MMBD7000LT1G, the BAV70 uniquely combines lowest specified capacitance (1.5 pF), strict common-cathode pinout (A1-A2-CC), and verified 4 ns trr performance - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-frequency dual-signal clamping where layout and RF integrity are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode in the BAV70?
The BAV70 supports 125 mA continuous forward current per diode at Tamb ≤ 25 °C when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. This rating drops with rising ambient temperature and is limited by its 250 mW total power dissipation and 500 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Can the BAV70 be used in automotive applications?
No - the BAV70 is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified per Nexperia's 2022 datasheet revision. It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade reliability testing, and extended temperature screening. For automotive use, Nexperia offers the BAV70-Q series with full AEC-Q101 compliance.
How does the common-cathode configuration affect PCB layout?
The common-cathode (A1-A2-CC) pinout allows both diodes to share a single cathode trace, reducing net count and minimizing ground loop area. This simplifies routing in dual-signal paths like differential USB or LVDS clamping, and eliminates need for separate cathode vias or split pours.
Is the BAV70 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - the BAV70's SOT23 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per IPC-J-STD-020, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260 °C. The recommended reflow footprint matches standard SOT23 land patterns (0.6 mm pad width, 0.7 mm length, 1.9 mm pitch) shown in Figure 8 of the datasheet.
