Product details
Overview
BAV70-QVL from Nexperia is a high-speed switching double diode in SOT23 package, featuring common-cathode dual-anode configuration, 100 V reverse voltage rating, ≤4 ns reverse recovery time, and ≤1.5 pF junction capacitance - deployed in automotive signal routing and ESD-protected data line clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAV70-QVL datasheet, BAV70-QVL pinout, BAV70-QVL application, or BAV70-QVL equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated AEC-Q101 qualification status, SOT23 terminal mapping, and automotive-grade thermal derating guidance - all grounded in Nexperia's official 2021 product data sheet.
Technical Context
The BAV70-QVL integrates two independent high-speed silicon switching diodes sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling compact dual-path clamping or steering in space-constrained PCB layouts. Its trr ≤ 4 ns and Cd ≤ 1.5 pF at 1 MHz support >100 MHz signal integrity in USB 2.0 and CAN FD transceiver protection networks.
Qualified per AEC-Q101 with Tj(max) = 150 °C and Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W on FR4, it sustains 125 mA continuous forward current per diode and withstands 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage - meeting automotive infotainment and body control module reliability requirements without external heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 100 V - supports 24 V automotive systems with ≥2× safety margin against load-dump transients |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | ≤4 ns - enables clean switching in 100+ MHz clock/data lines without tail current distortion |
| Junction Capacitance (Cd) | ≤1.5 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - minimizes signal loading on high-impedance analog inputs and RF paths |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 855 mV at 10 mA - ensures low conduction loss in logic-level clamping and level-shifting applications |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at 80 V, 25 °C - maintains signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 500 K/W on FR4 - defines maximum power dissipation (250 mW) under natural convection conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package: 3-terminal, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm body, tin-plated leads, standard footprint for reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A1 (Anode 1) | Input node for first diode path - connects to protected signal line or logic output |
| 2 | A2 (Anode 2) | Input node for second diode path - enables dual-rail clamping or OR-ing function |
| 3 | CC (Common Cathode) | Shared return path to VCC or reference rail - simplifies layout and reduces trace inductance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | trr ≤ 4 ns ensures minimal delay and overshoot in fast digital signal conditioning |
| Low-junction capacitance | Cd ≤ 1.5 pF preserves bandwidth in 50 Ω transmission lines and ADC input buffers |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use - includes temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per JEDEC standards |
| Common-cathode dual-diode topology | Reduces component count by 50% vs. discrete diodes in bidirectional TVS or logic-level translation |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Line Protection | CAN FD Transceiver Clamping |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− lines from ESD and cable-induced transients in automotive head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode clamping diode with common cathode tied to 3.3 V rail - provides bidirectional overvoltage suppression. Use Value: ≤4 ns trr prevents data eye closure; ≤1.5 pF Cd avoids signal rise-time degradation beyond USB 2.0 spec (480 Mbps). |
Use Scenario: Limiting bus voltage excursions during fault conditions in 5 Mbps CAN FD networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed steering diode pair directing transient energy to VCC or ground rails during ±25 kV ESD events. Use Value: 100 V VR rating accommodates CAN FD's 12 V nominal + 40 V surge margin; AEC-Q101 ensures field reliability. |
| Automotive Body Control Module Inputs | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|
Use Scenario: Debouncing and overvoltage protection of switch inputs (e.g., door latch, seat position sensors) in 12 V/24 V systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-cathode dual diode clamping each switch leg to VCC and GND - eliminates bounce-induced MCU false triggers. Use Value: ≤0.5 µA IR at 80 V prevents leakage-induced logic errors; SOT23 footprint saves board area in dense BCM PCBs. |
Use Scenario: Isolating and protecting analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistor, pressure bridge) from supply rail faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance steering diode routing fault current away from precision amplifier inputs during overvoltage events. Use Value: 855 mV VF at 10 mA ensures minimal offset error in ratiometric sensor interfaces; 150 °C Tj(max) supports extended industrial temperature operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed dual-diode switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV99-Q | Same SOT23 package, but trr = 3 ns (faster), Cd = 2 pF (higher), VR = 70 V (lower) | Preferred for sub-10 ns timing-critical paths where 70 V VR suffices (e.g., LVDS termination) | Select when faster recovery outweighs reduced voltage margin and higher capacitance |
| MMBD7000 | Non-AEC-Q101 rated, trr = 4 ns, VR = 100 V, Cd = 2 pF, VF = 1.25 V at 150 mA | Suitable for industrial/commercial designs lacking automotive qualification requirements | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with BAV99-Q and MMBD7000, the BAV70-QVL uniquely balances 100 V VR, ≤4 ns trr, AEC-Q101 compliance, and ≤1.5 pF Cd - making it the only option qualified for automotive signal-line protection where both voltage margin and high-frequency fidelity are mandatory.

FAQ
Is BAV70-QVL pin-compatible with standard BAV70 variants?
Yes - BAV70-QVL uses identical SOT23 pinning (A1–A2–CC) as non-automotive BAV70 versions. However, the QVL suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter process controls; electrical parameters match the BAV70-Q series, not legacy BAV70.
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode at 85 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 85 °C, derating applies: Ptot = 250 mW at 25 °C, with Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W. Junction temperature must stay ≤150 °C, limiting IF to approximately 95 mA per diode under natural convection on FR4 - confirmed via thermal simulation using Nexperia's published Rth and VF curves.
Can BAV70-QVL be used in bidirectional TVS configurations?
No - BAV70-QVL is a unidirectional double diode (common cathode). For bidirectional TVS, two devices are required (e.g., one BAV70-QVL anode-to-rail + another cathode-to-rail), or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like PESD5V0S1BA should be selected.
Does the 100 V VR rating apply to repetitive or non-repetitive conditions?
The 100 V VR rating is specified as repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) per IEC 60134, meaning it applies continuously during normal operation. Non-repetitive surges up to 100 V are also supported, but absolute maximum ratings prohibit exceeding 100 V under any condition - verified in Table 5 of the Nexperia datasheet.
