Product details
Overview
BAV70W-Q from Nexperia is a high-speed switching double diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, featuring common-cathode configuration, 100 V reverse voltage rating, ≤4 ns reverse recovery time, and ≤1.5 pF capacitance - deployed in automotive signal routing and ESD-protected I/O interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAV70W-Q datasheet, BAV70W-Q pinout, BAV70W-Q application, or BAV70W-Q equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (625 K/W), forward voltage behavior across 1–150 mA, and real-world switching performance under pulsed conditions.
Technical Context
The BAV70W-Q integrates two independent silicon switching diodes sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling dual-channel clamping or steering in compact automotive signal paths. Its design targets low-capacitance, fast transient response, and stable leakage (<0.5 µA at 80 V, 25 °C) for CAN/LIN bus protection and logic-level translation.
Qualified to AEC-Q101, it supports junction temperatures up to 150 °C and operates reliably under repetitive peak forward current of 500 mA (1 µs pulse) and non-repetitive surges up to 4 A (1 µs). Thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient is 625 K/W on standard FR4 PCB.
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 at >100 MHz clock rates in RF detector and sample-hold circuits |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | ≤1.5 pF at 0 V - minimizes signal distortion in high-frequency analog front-ends and antenna switch paths |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 855 mV at 10 mA - ensures low conduction loss in always-on bias networks and level-shifting chains |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at 80 V, 25 °C - maintains signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and wake-up monitoring lines |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 200 mW at Tamb ≤25 °C - allows operation without heatsinking in space-constrained ECUs and body control modules |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package: 3-terminal, 1.3 mm pitch, 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm body, optimized for automated reflow assembly and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A1) | Anode of Diode 1 | Independent input path for first signal channel; used for bidirectional clamping or polarity-selective routing |
| 2 (A2) | Anode of Diode 2 | Second independent input; enables dual-rail protection or differential signal conditioning without cross-talk |
| 3 (CC) | Common Cathode | Shared output node tied to system ground or reference rail - simplifies layout and reduces parasitic inductance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive underhood and cabin applications per stress test requirements including HTOL, TCT, and HAST |
| Ultra-low trr | ≤4 ns reverse recovery enables minimal switching loss in 10–100 MHz digital signal conditioning and RF envelope detection |
| Low Cd | ≤1.5 pF capacitance preserves bandwidth in high-speed data lines (e.g., LIN bus, sensor ADC inputs) without added filtering |
| Common-cathode topology | Reduces component count and board area vs. discrete dual-diode solutions; improves thermal coupling between diodes |
| Low IR at elevated Tj | ≤100 µA at VR = 80 V, Tj = 150 °C - ensures reliable standby operation in engine control units during hot-soak conditions |
Applications
| Automotive LIN Bus Protection | High-Speed Logic-Level Translation |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN transceiver I/O pins against ESD and inductive kickback in body electronics modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode clamping diode with common cathode connected to VIO rail - provides bidirectional overvoltage limiting.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV99W-Q | Higher trr (≤6 ns), same VR (100 V), identical SOT323 package and AEC-Q101 qualification | Marginally slower switching limits use in >50 MHz RF detectors; otherwise drop-in for LIN and level-shift roles | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs sub-ns timing requirements and thermal derating is acceptable |
| MMBD7000-7-F | Non-automotive grade, VR = 100 V, trr = ≤4 ns, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; TO-236AB (SOT-23) package | Not suitable for automotive production; acceptable for industrial prototypes or consumer-grade designs | Choose only for non-automotive applications where qualification documentation is not required |
Compared with BAV99W-Q and MMBD7000-7-F, the BAV70W-Q uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, ≤4 ns trr, and ≤1.5 pF capacitance in SOT323 - making it the only option qualified for production automotive signal integrity-critical functions requiring both speed and reliability.

FAQ
Is BAV70W-Q pin-compatible with BAV99W-Q?
Yes - both use identical SOT323 (SC-70) package with matching pin 1 (A1), pin 2 (A2), and pin 3 (CC) assignments. Layouts designed for BAV99W-Q can be reused without modification, though BAV70W-Q offers tighter trr (≤4 ns vs. ≤6 ns) and lower Cd (≤1.5 pF).
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode?
The absolute maximum continuous forward current per diode is 175 mA at Tamb ≤25 °C, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting values). Derating is required above 25 °C ambient; at 85 °C, the usable current drops to approximately 100 mA due to thermal constraints.
Does BAV70W-Q support wave soldering?
Yes - Nexperia provides dedicated wave soldering footprint (Fig. 9) with recommended solder land dimensions (3.65 mm × 2.1 mm), solder resist openings, and preferred transport direction. The device is rated for standard wave solder profiles per J-STD-020.
How does junction temperature affect reverse leakage?
Reverse leakage increases exponentially with junction temperature: at VR = 80 V, IR rises from ≤0.5 µA at 25 °C to ≤100 µA at 150 °C (Table 7). This behavior must be accounted for in always-on monitoring circuits operating near thermal limits.
