Product details
Overview
BAV99S-QX from Nexperia is a high-speed dual-series-pair (4-diode) switching diode array in SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package, rated for 100 V reverse voltage, ≤4 ns reverse recovery time, and ≤1.5 pF capacitance per diode - deployed in automotive-grade polarity protection and signal routing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAV99S-QX datasheet, BAV99S-QX pinout, BAV99S-QX application, or BAV99S-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified AEC-Q101-qualified parameters, validated dual-series-pair configuration, thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 260 K/W), and real-world switching performance at IF = 10 mA / VR = 80 V.
Technical Context
The BAV99S-QX integrates four silicon switching diodes in a single TSSOP6 package with two independent series-connected pairs: Diode 1–2 (A1–K2) and Diode 3–4 (A3–K4), sharing common terminals K1/A2 and K3/A4. This topology enables bidirectional clamping and dual-rail protection without external interconnects.
Its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms operation across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient, with junction temperature limited to 150 °C and total power dissipation capped at 250 mW under solder-point thermal constraints (pins 2/3/5/6).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 100 V - supports 24 V and 48 V automotive bus protection with 2× safety margin against transients. |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 4 ns - enables clean switching up to ~100 MHz in RF detector and high-frequency clamp applications. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 1.5 pF @ 0 V - minimizes signal loading in 50 Ω high-speed data lines (e.g., USB 2.0, CAN FD stubs). |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 855 mV @ 10 mA - ensures low conduction loss in low-power reverse polarity guards with <100 mW dissipation per diode. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA @ 80 V, 25 °C - maintains integrity in battery-backed circuits where standby current must stay below 1 µA. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C - allows sustained operation in engine control units and under-hood modules without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT363-3 (TSSOP6), 1.3 mm × 2.2 mm × 0.95 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, thermally optimized for reflow soldering on pins 2, 3, 5, and 6.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (Diode 1) | Input node for first series diode pair; connects to protected supply rail in polarity guard. |
| 2 | Cathode (Diode 2) | Output node of first pair; shared as anode for Diode 2 → forms series path with Pin 1. |
| 3 | Cathode (Diode 3) / Anode (Diode 4) | Common terminal linking second series pair; enables dual-path bidirectional clamping. |
| 4 | Anode (Diode 3) | Input node for second series diode pair; used for complementary rail protection. |
| 5 | Cathode (Diode 4) | Output node of second pair; completes second series path, mirrored to Pin 2 functionality. |
| 6 | Cathode (Diode 1) / Anode (Diode 2) | Shared terminal tying Diode 1 cathode to Diode 2 anode - defines internal series connection point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood and infotainment systems per stress test requirements (HTOL, TC, HAST). |
| Dual series-pair topology | Enables compact dual-rail reverse polarity protection without external wiring or discrete layout area. |
| Low trr + low Cd synergy | Simultaneous 4 ns recovery and 1.5 pF capacitance permits use in >50 MHz signal line clamping (e.g., LIN bus edge shaping). |
| Thermally optimized package | Rth(j-sp) = 260 K/W to solder points on Pins 2/3/5/6 enables 250 mW continuous dissipation without heatsinking. |
Applications
| Automotive Reverse Polarity Protection | High-Speed Signal Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V ECUs during battery jump-start or incorrect terminal connection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-series diode array acting as active polarity gate with <1 µs response to reverse voltage onset. Use Value: Prevents fuse blowout and MOSFET damage while maintaining <100 mV forward drop at 100 mA load current. |
Use Scenario: Limiting overshoot on 50 Ω CAN FD or FlexRay differential signal lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance clamping diode pair shunting transients above VCC+0.7 V or below GND−0.7 V. Use Value: Adds <1.5 pF parasitic capacitance per line - preserves signal integrity up to 20 MHz edge rates. |
| USB 2.0 ESD Front-End Guard | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Pre-ESD protection stage before TVS diodes on USB D+/D− lines in automotive telematics modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching steering diode routing transient current away from PHY IC inputs. Use Value: 4 ns trr ensures clamping activation precedes 10 ns ESD pulse peak, reducing downstream voltage stress by ≥30 %. |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting and overvoltage limiting for 4–20 mA loop-powered sensors in engine bay environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamp protecting ADC input against ±100 V surges induced by solenoid switching. Use Value: 100 V VR rating and 150 °C Tj support uninterrupted operation during extended hot-soak conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed switching diode array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV99DW-Q | SOT363-3 package, identical pinout, but dual-common-cathode (not dual-series-pair); trr = 4 ns, VR = 100 V. | Optimized for parallel rail clamping (e.g., VCC/GND to signal), not series polarity guard. | Select when needing independent cathode referencing rather than series diode chaining. |
| NSR0230P2T5G | SOD-523 package, single diode, VF = 370 mV @ 100 mA, trr = 4 ns, VR = 30 V - lower voltage, smaller footprint. | Limited to 30 V systems; lacks multi-diode integration for dual-rail or bidirectional schemes. | Choose only for space-constrained 3.3 V/5 V logic-level clamping where 100 V rating is unnecessary. |
Compared with BAV99DW-Q, the BAV99S-QX provides true series-pair functionality essential for reverse polarity gates; versus NSR0230P2T5G, it delivers system-level integration and automotive voltage margin at the cost of slightly larger footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode in the BAV99S-QX?
The BAV99S-QX supports 200 mA continuous forward current per diode under single-diode loaded conditions at Tsp ≤ 85 °C. Derating applies above 85 °C ambient; at 125 °C, max IF drops to approximately 120 mA based on thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 260 K/W) and 250 mW total power limit.
Can the BAV99S-QX be used as a standalone ESD protection device?
No - the BAV99S-QX is not rated for IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity. It serves as a fast-switching pre-clamp or polarity guard; effective ESD protection requires downstream TVS diodes (e.g., PESD5V0S1BA) capable of absorbing 15 kV air discharge energy.
How does the dual-series-pair configuration affect PCB layout?
The internal series connection between Pins 1–2 and Pins 4–5 means no external traces are needed to form two independent diode strings. Layout must route protected supply (Pin 1), load (Pin 2), complementary rail (Pin 4), and return (Pin 5), while keeping Pins 3 and 6 as shared nodes - minimizing net count and parasitic inductance.
Is the marking code 'K1%' consistent across all BAV99S-QX production lots?
Yes - all BAV99S-QX units are marked 'K1%' on the top surface, where '%' is a single alphanumeric manufacturing site code (e.g., 'K1A' for Nijmegen, 'K1B' for Bangkok). This matches Nexperia's official marking specification in Table 4 of the July 2026 datasheet.
