Product details
Overview
BAV99QA-Q from Nexperia is a dual-series high-speed switching diode pair in a DFN1010D-3 (SOT1215) package, configured as two diodes in series with shared terminal (K1/A2), supporting reverse polarity protection and high-frequency signal routing. It delivers trr ≤ 4 ns, VR = 90 V, Cd ≤ 2 pF, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the BAV99QA-Q datasheet, BAV99QA-Q pinout, BAV99QA-Q application, or BAV99QA-Q equivalent, this device is selected for compact, high-reliability DC/DC input stage clamping, USB-C port protection, and space-constrained ESD-tolerant signal path isolation where low capacitance and fast recovery are critical.
Technical Context
This dual-series diode integrates two discrete high-speed switching diodes sharing a common internal node (Pin 3 = K1/A2), enabling bidirectional blocking with single-package footprint efficiency. Its architecture supports series-connected forward conduction paths while maintaining independent reverse voltage capability per diode segment.
The DFN1010D-3 package features side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) and solder joint validation, with thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 410 K/W on FR4 and Rth(j-sp) = 265 K/W to solder point - optimized for thermally constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 90 V - supports 24 V and 48 V automotive supply rails with 2× safety margin against transients. |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 4 ns - enables clean switching up to ~100 MHz in flyback snubbers and high-frequency rectification. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 2 pF at 0 V - minimizes signal distortion in RF coupling and high-speed data line protection. |
| Forward Current (IF) | 290 mA per diode - sufficient for low-power load switching and bias network current handling. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.5 µA at 80 V - ensures stable DC blocking in battery monitoring and always-on circuits. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C - rated for under-hood automotive environments without derating below 125 °C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in the ultra-thin DFN1010D-3 (SOT1215) leadless plastic package: 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.37 mm body, side-wettable flanks, 0.75 mm pitch, and visible solderable side pads for AOI compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (Diode 1) | Input node for first diode; connects to upstream supply or signal source in series protection path. |
| 2 | Cathode (Diode 2) | Output node for second diode; ties to load or downstream circuit requiring polarity-controlled conduction. |
| 3/4 | Cathode (Diode 1) / Anode (Diode 2) | Shared internal node - forms series connection; must be routed as single net with no external connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD (HBM ≥ 8 kV). |
| Ultra-low profile (0.37 mm height) | Enables stacking under connectors or beneath shields in ADAS camera modules and infotainment PCBs. |
| Side-wettable flanks (SWF) | Supports automated X-ray and AOI inspection of solder joints without requiring bottom-side access. |
| Thermal enhancement via cathode pad | 265 K/W junction-to-solder-point resistance allows 470 mW total dissipation with minimal copper area. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | USB-C Port Polarity Guard |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse battery connection protection on 12 V/24 V vehicle ECUs and body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-blocking diode pair preventing destructive reverse current flow during jump-start or wiring error. Use Value: Eliminates need for external fuse + MOSFET solution; maintains <1.25 V forward drop at 150 mA while surviving load dump pulses. |
Use Scenario: Preventing damage from misoriented USB-C plug insertion in automotive infotainment head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional polarity enforcement using shared-node series configuration across VBUS lines. Use Value: Achieves <2 pF capacitance to preserve USB 2.0 signal integrity while blocking >90 V reverse transients. |
| High-Speed Signal Clamping | Low-Power Load Switch Isolation |
Use Scenario: Transient suppression on CAN FD or LIN bus stubs exposed to ESD and inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery clamp limiting voltage excursions to <1.75 V peak forward recovery during nanosecond-scale events. Use Value: 4 ns trr ensures clamping action completes before bus arbitration window closes, preserving timing margins. |
Use Scenario: Isolating always-on microcontroller backup domains from main power domain during sleep mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage (0.5 µA @ 80 V) series switch enabling <1 µA system standby current. Use Value: Reduces quiescent current by >95% vs. standard Schottky alternatives without sacrificing turn-on speed. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-series high-speed switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV99W-Q | Same die, but in SOT323 package (1.3 × 1.3 × 0.95 mm); higher Rth(j-a) = 450 K/W; no side-wettable flanks. | Not AOI-compatible; unsuitable for ultra-thin automotive modules; requires larger PCB area. | Select when legacy SMT lines lack SWF inspection capability and height constraint is relaxed. |
| PMEG3010CEH | Single Schottky diode (30 V, 1 A, 0.45 V VF); no series configuration; Cd = 40 pF; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks reverse polarity protection topology; higher capacitance degrades high-speed signal fidelity. | Only suitable for low-voltage, non-automotive DC/DC output rectification where speed is secondary to VF. |
Compared with BAV99W-Q, the BAV99QA-Q offers 25% lower profile and AOI support for next-gen automotive miniaturization; versus PMEG3010CEH, it provides true series-blocking architecture, 20× lower capacitance, and automotive qualification - making it irreplaceable in safety-critical polarity guard roles.

FAQ
What is the correct PCB footprint for BAV99QA-Q?
The official reflow footprint for DFN1010D-3 (SOT1215) specifies 0.4 mm wide × 0.35 mm long solder lands (2×), 0.45 mm spacing between lands, and 1.2 mm overall length. Pad dimensions match Figure 12 in the Nexperia datasheet v.1 (20220628); deviation risks solder bridging or insufficient wetting on side flanks.
Can BAV99QA-Q replace a single BAV99 in existing designs?
No - BAV99QA-Q contains two diodes in series with shared terminal (Pin 3), unlike the single-diode BAV99 in SOT23. Direct substitution would break circuit topology; redesign is required to accommodate the series configuration and 4-terminal layout.
Is thermal pad connection required for BAV99QA-Q?
No dedicated thermal pad exists; heat dissipation occurs through the cathode-side solder joint (Pin 2) and side-wettable flanks. The datasheet specifies Rth(j-sp) = 265 K/W to the solder point - so full-surface soldering of Pin 2 and proper land design per Figure 12 is mandatory for rated power handling.
Does BAV99QA-Q support bidirectional current flow?
No - it conducts unidirectionally per diode segment. In series configuration, current flows only from Pin 1 → Pin 3 → Pin 2. Reverse bias blocks all current; it does not function as a bidirectional TVS or symmetrical clamp.
