Product details
Overview
BAV70W/SN/8X from Nexperia is a dual common-cathode high-speed switching diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 100 V reverse voltage, 4 ns reverse recovery time, and 1.5 pF junction capacitance. It delivers 175 mA forward current at 25 °C ambient and supports automotive-grade signal routing in compact DC-DC feedback paths, ESD protection clamps, and high-frequency detector circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAV70W/SN/8X datasheet, BAV70W/SN/8X pinout, BAV70W/SN/8X application, or BAV70W/SN/8X equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance values (Rth(j-a) = 625 K/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and real-world use context for fast-switching discrete selection in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The BAV70W integrates two independent silicon switching diodes sharing a single cathode terminal, enabling compact dual-path rectification or steering without external interconnects. Its epitaxial construction ensures low trr (≤4 ns) and minimal charge storage under IF = 10 mA → IR = 10 mA transitions with RL = 100 Ω load.
Designed for reflow-only assembly on FR4 PCBs, it exhibits Rth(j-t) = 300 K/W to tie-point and operates reliably from −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. The 1.5 pF capacitance at 0 V VR and 1 MHz enables stable RF detector performance up to ~500 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse voltage (VR) | 100 V - supports input stage clamping in 48 V automotive systems and industrial 24 V rails. |
| Reverse recovery time (trr) | 4 ns - enables clean switching in PWM frequencies up to 100 MHz without tail current distortion. |
| Junction capacitance (Cd) | 1.5 pF - minimizes signal loading in RF envelope detectors and high-speed logic interface clamps. |
| Forward current (IF) | 175 mA - sufficient for bias current sourcing in op-amp level shifters and small-signal gate drivers. |
| Leakage current (IR) | 0.5 µA at 80 V - ensures low standby power loss in always-on sensor interface circuits. |
| Thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 625 K/W - defines maximum power dissipation (200 mW) under natural convection on standard FR4 layout. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Yes - validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package; 3-lead, very small outline with 1.3 mm × 1.1 mm footprint and 0.9 mm height. Standard reflow soldering only; no wave soldering recommended.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (Diode 1) | Input node for first diode path; connects to signal source or switch node requiring unidirectional conduction. |
| 2 | Anode (Diode 2) | Independent input node for second diode path; enables dual-rail clamping or OR-ing functionality. |
| 3 | Common cathode | Shared output node; simplifies PCB routing by eliminating separate cathode traces for both diodes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-cathode configuration | Reduces component count and board area vs. two discrete SOD-323 diodes; eliminates cathode interconnect trace. |
| 4 ns reverse recovery time | Enables reliable operation in >25 MHz clocked switching applications without reverse conduction artifacts. |
| 1.5 pF junction capacitance | Maintains signal integrity in 50 Ω RF paths; suitable for AM/FM detector and antenna switch bias networks. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood environments including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock. |
| Low leakage (0.5 µA @ 80 V) | Preserves accuracy in precision voltage reference buffers and high-impedance sensor front-ends. |
Applications
| Automotive LED Driver Feedback | USB Port ESD Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping feedback voltage from LED string sense resistor in constant-current automotive lighting driver. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast transient suppressor protecting op-amp input during load dump or hot-swap events.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance shunt clamp diverting IEC 61000-4-2 ±8 kV contact discharge. Use Value: 1.5 pF Cd avoids signal rise-time degradation; common-cathode layout saves 0.5 mm² PCB area. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV70T | SOT416 (SC-75) package; Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W; IF = 150 mA at Ts = 90 °C. | Better thermal performance in thermally constrained layouts; slightly larger footprint than SOT323. | Select when board-level thermal management allows higher power dissipation and smaller Rth(j-a) is critical. |
| BAV99W | Same SOT323 package; trr = 4 ns; VR = 70 V; Cd = 2 pF; IF = 215 mA. | Lower VR rating limits use in 48 V systems; higher Cd reduces RF bandwidth margin. | Choose only if 70 V VR suffices and higher forward current is prioritized over leakage or capacitance. |
Compared with BAV70W/SN/8X, BAV70T offers superior thermal resistance but larger size, while BAV99W trades reverse voltage and capacitance for higher forward current-making BAV70W optimal for 100 V, low-Cd, AEC-Q101–compliant compact designs.

FAQ
Is BAV70W/SN/8X suitable for reflow soldering only?
Yes. Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the sole recommended process for BAV70W/SN/8X. Wave soldering is not supported due to thermal limitations of the SOT323 package and risk of delamination. Reflow profiles must comply with JEDEC J-STD-020, peak temperature ≤260 °C, and dwell time within specification limits.
What is the maximum forward current derating above 25 °C ambient?
BAV70W/SN/8X has a linear derating slope of −1.4 mA/°C above Tamb = 25 °C, reaching zero at 150 °C junction temperature. At 85 °C ambient, maximum continuous IF drops to approximately 91 mA, calculated using Ptot = 200 mW and VF ≈ 0.855 V at 10 mA.
Does the common-cathode configuration affect reverse isolation between anodes?
No. The two diodes share only the cathode metallization; their anode regions are fully isolated. Reverse leakage (IR) remains independent per diode-measured at ≤0.5 µA each at VR = 80 V-ensuring no crosstalk in dual-rail clamping applications.
How does AEC-Q101 qualification impact BAV70W/SN/8X usage in non-automotive designs?
AEC-Q101 qualification confirms robustness against temperature cycling, high-acceleration shock, and humidity exposure-making BAV70W/SN/8X especially reliable in harsh industrial or outdoor deployments. It does not imply automotive-specific features like PPAP documentation unless explicitly ordered under automotive part numbering.
