Product details
Overview
BAW56S/DG/B2,115 from Nexperia is a dual high-speed switching diode in SOT23 package with common anode configuration, reverse voltage rating of 90 V, reverse recovery time ≤ 4 ns, and junction capacitance ≤ 2 pF. It enables fast signal routing and clamping in compact DC-DC converter feedback paths and USB data line protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAW56S/DG/B2,115 datasheet, BAW56S/DG/B2,115 pinout, BAW56S/DG/B2,115 application, or BAW56S/DG/B2,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include trr ≤ 4 ns at IF = 10 mA, VR = 90 V, Cd = 2 pF at 0 V, IF(max) = 215 mA per diode, and thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W on FR4 PCB.
Technical Context
The BAW56S/DG/B2,115 integrates two independent silicon switching diodes sharing a common anode terminal, optimized for low-capacitance, low-leakage operation in high-frequency signal path control. Its trr ≤ 4 ns is measured under standardized conditions (IF = IR = 10 mA, RL = 100 Ω, IR(meas) = 1 mA).
Thermal performance is defined for FR4 PCB mounting: Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W (free air), Rth(j-sp) = 360 K/W (solder point). Forward voltage ranges from 715 mV at 1 mA to 1.25 V at 150 mA, with reverse leakage ≤ 0.5 µA at VR = 80 V and 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 90 V - supports input stage clamping in 48 V industrial power rails |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | ≤ 4 ns - enables reliable operation above 100 MHz switching frequencies |
| Junction Capacitance (Cd) | ≤ 2 pF at 0 V - minimizes signal distortion in RF detector and antenna switch applications |
| Forward Current (IF) | 215 mA per diode - sufficient for logic-level signal steering and low-power rectification |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤ 0.5 µA at VR = 80 V, 25 °C - ensures low standby power loss in battery-backed circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 500 K/W - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in space-constrained layouts |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package: 3-terminal, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, standard footprint compatible with reflow and wave soldering per Figures 8–9.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | K1 (cathode of diode 1) | Provides dedicated cathode connection for first diode; routed separately for asymmetric signal conditioning |
| 2 | K2 (cathode of diode 2) | Independent cathode for second diode; enables dual-path clamping or polarity-selective routing |
| 3 | CA (common anode) | Shared anode node simplifies biasing in dual-diode configurations such as OR-ing or level translation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | trr ≤ 4 ns enables use in >100 MHz clock signal routing and pulse shaping circuits |
| Low junction capacitance | Cd ≤ 2 pF preserves signal integrity in 50 Ω RF interfaces and high-speed data lines |
| Common-anode dual-diode topology | Reduces component count in bidirectional ESD protection and dual-rail clamp designs |
| Low reverse leakage | IR ≤ 0.5 µA at 80 V ensures <1 nW standby dissipation in always-on sensor interface circuits |
| SOT23 package compatibility | Standard footprint allows drop-in replacement in legacy designs using BAV99, BAS16, or similar dual diodes |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Line Protection | DC-DC Converter Feedback Path |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Clamping transient voltages on D+ and D− lines during hot-plug events and ESD discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-cathode, common-anode diode provides symmetrical bidirectional clamping without adding series resistance. Use Value: 2 pF capacitance avoids signal rise-time degradation; 4 ns trr prevents latch-up during fast transients. |
Use Scenario: Isolating feedback voltage divider from controller output during startup and fault conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed switching diode blocks reverse current flow while allowing fast forward conduction during regulation transitions. Use Value: 90 V VR rating accommodates overshoot in 48 V buck converters; 215 mA IF handles typical divider currents. |
| RF Detector Input Stage | Logic-Level Signal Steering |
|
Use Scenario: Rectifying weak RF signals in amplitude detection circuits operating up to 1 GHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-Cd, low-VF diode acts as envelope detector with minimal harmonic distortion. Use Value: 2 pF capacitance maintains impedance match into 50 Ω sources; 715 mV VF at 1 mA enables sensitivity down to −20 dBm. |
Use Scenario: Selecting between two digital control signals (e.g., active-high vs. active-low enable) feeding a single gate driver input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-anode dual diode implements wired-OR logic with sub-ns propagation delay. Use Value: 4 ns trr ensures clean signal edges at 50 MHz toggle rates; SOT23 footprint fits tight routing channels near microcontrollers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-speed switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV99,115 | Same SOT23 package, identical pinout (K1/K2/CA), but trr = 4 ns (typ), VR = 70 V, Cd = 2 pF | Limited to ≤70 V systems; suitable where lower reverse voltage suffices and cost is prioritized | Select when VR margin < 20 V is acceptable and qualification for non-automotive use is confirmed |
| BAS16,115 | Single diode in SOT23; VR = 85 V, trr = 4 ns, Cd = 2 pF - no common-anode dual configuration | Requires two devices for dual-path function; increases board area and assembly cost | Choose only if design already uses discrete single diodes and layout cannot accommodate dual-diode integration |
Compared with BAV99,115, the BAW56S/DG/B2,115 offers +20 V higher VR margin critical for 48 V industrial bus protection; versus BAS16,115, its integrated dual-diode structure reduces component count by 50% and eliminates inter-device timing skew in synchronous clamping.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode in the BAW56S/DG/B2,115?
The absolute maximum continuous forward current per diode is 215 mA at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB with standard footprint. Derating applies above 25 °C ambient: current must be reduced linearly to zero at 150 °C junction temperature, per the thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W specification.
Can the BAW56S/DG/B2,115 be used in automotive applications?
No - this part is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified in the revision history (v.7, October 2022). Nexperia states it is not tested or qualified to AEC-Q101 standards. For automotive use, consult Nexperia's BAW56-Q series or other AEC-Q101 qualified dual diodes.
How does the common-anode configuration affect circuit design compared to dual-cathode variants?
The CA (pin 3) common-anode topology allows both diodes to share a single positive bias node, simplifying clamping to VCC and enabling wired-OR logic. Unlike dual-cathode parts (e.g., BAV99), it cannot directly clamp to ground without external resistors - design must route K1 and K2 to separate signal lines while tying CA to the reference rail.
Is the 4 ns reverse recovery time guaranteed or typical?
The 4 ns value is the maximum specified limit (trr ≤ 4 ns) under defined test conditions (IF = IR = 10 mA, RL = 100 Ω, IR(meas) = 1 mA, Tamb = 25 °C), making it a guaranteed parameter across all units in the production lot, not a typical value.
