Product details
Overview
BAV70S-QX from Nexperia is a high-speed switching double diode in SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package, configured as two independent anodes sharing a common cathode per pair (dual common-cathode configuration), with trr ≤ 4 ns, Cd ≤ 1.5 pF, and VR = 100 V - deployed in automotive signal routing and ESD-protected I/O interface stages.
For engineers reviewing the BAV70S-QX datasheet, BAV70S-QX pinout, BAV70S-QX application, or BAV70S-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, AEC-Q101 qualification status, reverse recovery timing under defined test conditions, and automotive-grade thermal derating guidance for PCB-level integration.
Technical Context
The BAV70S-QX integrates two matched high-speed silicon switching diodes in a single 6-pin TSSOP package, with Pins 1 & 2 serving as independent anodes (D1, D2), Pins 4 & 5 as independent anodes (D3, D4), and Pins 3 & 6 as dual common cathodes (K3/K4 and K1/K2 respectively), enabling dual-channel clamping or steering without cross-talk.
Its 4 ns reverse recovery time is measured under standardized conditions (IF = 10 mA, IR = 10 mA, IR(meas) = 1 mA, RL = 100 Ω), and its 1.5 pF capacitance at 0 V reverse bias supports RF-adjacent signal path integrity up to ~200 MHz in low-voltage digital interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 100 V - supports 24 V automotive supply rail transient suppression with 2× safety margin |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | ≤ 4 ns - enables clean switching in >100 MHz clock distribution and data line steering |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | ≤ 1.5 pF at 0 V - minimizes signal loading on high-speed GPIO and USB 2.0 D+/D− lines |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 855 mV at 10 mA - ensures low conduction loss in 3.3 V logic-level clamp circuits |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at 80 V, 25 °C - maintains signal integrity in high-impedance sensor bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C - validated for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q101 stress testing |
Pinout & Package
SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) plastic surface-mounted package: 1.3 mm × 2.2 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.15 mm height, FR4-compatible reflow soldering profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Applications
| Automotive CAN Transceiver Protection | USB 2.0 Data Line Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional transient suppression on CAN_H/CAN_L lines in 12 V vehicle networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed clamping diode array limiting ESD and load-dump spikes before transceiver input stage. Use Value: 4 ns trr prevents pulse distortion during 1 Mbps CAN FD arbitration; 100 V VR withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. |
Use Scenario: ESD protection for D+ and D− pins of USB 2.0 host/device connectors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance steering diode directing transients to VBUS or GND rails. Use Value: 1.5 pF Cd avoids signal integrity degradation at 480 Mbps; dual-anode layout matches differential pair geometry. |
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Low-Voltage Logic-Level Translation |
Use Scenario: Input protection and level shifting for 3.3 V ADC inputs receiving ±10 V industrial sensor outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode pair limiting overvoltage while preserving DC accuracy via low IR. Use Value: 0.5 µA IR at 25 °C prevents >1 mV offset error in 2 MΩ input impedance stages; 855 mV VF enables precise 3.3 V rail referencing. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional voltage translation between 1.8 V and 3.3 V I²C buses in mixed-voltage SoC designs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive level shifter using forward-biased diode drop to shift logic thresholds. Use Value: Matched VF across diodes ensures symmetric rise/fall delay; SOT363-3 footprint aligns with dense I²C trace routing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV99W-Q | Same SOT363-3 package; trr = 4 ns, but Cd = 2.0 pF (vs. 1.5 pF); IF(max) = 215 mA (vs. 250 mA per diode) | Higher capacitance limits use in >150 MHz interfaces; lower IF rating reduces margin in 24 V clamp current paths | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 0.5 pF capacitance advantage and 35 mA forward current margin |
| MMBD7000-7-F | SOT23-3 package; trr = 4 ns, Cd = 2.5 pF, VR = 70 V (vs. 100 V); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Smaller footprint but lacks automotive qualification and 30 V VR headroom; unsuitable for 24 V system transients | Choose only for non-automotive consumer applications where space is critical and 70 V VR suffices |
Compared with BAV99W-Q and MMBD7000-7-F, the BAV70S-QX provides superior 100 V VR margin for 24 V automotive systems, lowest 1.5 pF capacitance among AEC-Q101-qualified SOT363-3 dual diodes, and full dual-pair pinout flexibility for multi-rail protection layouts.

FAQ
Is BAV70S-QX pin-compatible with BAV99W-Q?
Yes - both use identical SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package and share the same pin assignment: Pin 1 (A1), Pin 2 (A2), Pin 3 (K3/K4), Pin 4 (A3), Pin 5 (A4), Pin 6 (K1/K2). This allows direct PCB footprint reuse, though electrical differences (Cd, VR, IF) require schematic validation.
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode at 60 °C ambient?
The datasheet specifies 250 mA per diode at Ts = 60 °C, where Ts is the solder point temperature. At 60 °C ambient on a standard FR4 board, derating applies: Rth(j-sp) = 255 K/W implies ~100 mA absolute max per diode to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C, consistent with the "Per device IF = 100 mA" limit in Table 8.
Does BAV70S-QX support bidirectional ESD protection?
No - it is a unidirectional double diode array with anode-input/cathode-output polarity. For bidirectional protection, external series resistors and complementary diode placement (e.g., anode-to-rail + cathode-to-rail) are required. Its architecture is optimized for clamping to a single reference rail.
How does the dual common-cathode structure affect PCB layout?
Pins 3 and 6 are electrically isolated common cathodes - Pin 3 serves diodes 3 & 4, Pin 6 serves diodes 1 & 2. Layout must route these cathodes to separate reference nets if independent clamping rails are needed; tying them together reduces channel isolation but simplifies grounding in single-rail applications.
