Product details
Overview
BAW56T-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a dual common-cathode fast-switching silicon switching diode in SOT523 package, rated for 85 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 155 mA forward current per diode, and 4.0 ns reverse recovery time. It delivers high conductance and low forward voltage (0.715 V at 1 mA), suited for signal routing and polarity protection in compact consumer and industrial power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAW56T-7-F datasheet, BAW56T-7-F pinout, BAW56T-7-F application, or BAW56T-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-diode configuration with shared cathode, ultra-small SOT523 footprint, 833 °C/W thermal resistance, and guaranteed 4.0 ns trr performance under 10 mA test conditions.
Technical Context
The BAW56T-7-F integrates two independent silicon PN junction diodes sharing a single cathode terminal, enabling bidirectional clamping or dual-path signal switching in space-constrained layouts. Its construction uses alloy-42 leadframe with matte tin plating and green molding compound compliant with UL 94V-0 and RoHS 3.
Designed for general-purpose switching-not RF or high-voltage rectification-it operates across –55 °C to +150 °C with leakage current as low as 2.0 µA at 75 V and 25 °C, and exhibits 0.81 pF total capacitance at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 85 V - supports input transient suppression up to automotive load-dump levels in low-power signal paths |
| IF (per diode) | 155 mA - sufficient for logic-level signal steering and LED bias control without external current limiting |
| trr | 4.0 ns - enables clean edge transitions in 10–50 MHz digital signal routing and level-shifting interfaces |
| CT | 0.81 pF - minimizes capacitive loading on high-speed data lines such as I²C or UART bus segments |
| RθJA | 833 °C/W - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal relief in ambient-temperature-limited handheld devices |
| VF @ 1 mA | 0.715 V - ensures reliable turn-on with weak drive sources like microcontroller GPIOs in battery-powered systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT523 - ultra-compact surface-mount plastic package (1.60 mm × 1.60 mm × 0.80 mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, weight ≈ 0.002 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Applications
| USB Data Line Protection | Low-Voltage Logic Level Shifting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− lines against ESD and overvoltage transients in USB 2.0 peripheral ports. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-clamp diode array providing bidirectional low-capacitance (0.81 pF) path to VCC and GND. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity up to 480 Mbps while meeting IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV air) without degrading rise/fall times. | Use Scenario: Translating signals between 1.8 V FPGA I/O and 3.3 V sensor interface without active translators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive level shifter using forward-biased diode drop to clamp high-side voltage swing. Use Value: Achieves sub-ns propagation delay with no supply required-ideal for low-power always-on sensor hubs. |
| Power Rail OR-ing | Microcontroller GPIO Clamp |
Use Scenario: Selecting between primary and backup 3.3 V supplies in battery-backed IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode diode pair isolating supply domains while sharing cathode to load. Use Value: Prevents backfeed with <200 mV conduction loss at 50 mA-lower than Schottky alternatives in same footprint. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding MCU reset or interrupt pins against accidental overvoltage during board bring-up. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage (2.0 µA @ 75 V) clamping diode tied between pin and VDD/GND. Use Value: Adds <1 pF parasitic capacitance-no measurable impact on 10 MHz internal oscillator stability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual fast-switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV99T-7-F | Identical SOT523 package, same 85 V VRRM, but 3.5 ns trr (vs. 4.0 ns); VF slightly higher at 0.725 V @ 1 mA | Marginally faster switching-preferred in 50+ MHz clock distribution where sub-ns timing matters | Select when trr < 3.5 ns is required and leakage tolerance allows 100 µA @ 75 V, 150 °C |
| MMBD7000LT1G | SOT-23 package (larger), 100 V VRRM, 4.0 ns trr, but 1.1 V VF @ 10 mA-higher forward loss | Higher voltage rating suits 24 V industrial I/O; not drop-in due to 3-pin SOT-23 vs. 3-pin SOT523 pinout mismatch | Choose only if board redesign accommodates larger footprint and higher VF is acceptable for supply rail clamping |
Compared with BAV99T-7-F, BAW56T-7-F trades 0.5 ns speed for lower leakage at elevated temperature; versus MMBD7000LT1G, it offers 3× smaller footprint and 0.4 V lower VF at low current-critical for battery runtime in wearables.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for BAW56T-7-F?
The BAW56T-7-F is rated for junction and storage temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 833 °C/W) means it can sustain continuous 155 mA forward current only at ambient ≤ 25 °C unless additional PCB copper is used for heat spreading per Diodes' recommended pad layout.
Is BAW56T-7-F AEC-Q101 qualified?
No-BAW56T-7-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The BAV99TQ variant in the same family carries AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF16949 manufacturing certification. BAW56T-7-F is intended for commercial and industrial applications, not automotive safety-critical systems.
How does the common-cathode configuration affect circuit layout?
The shared cathode (Pin 2) simplifies routing in dual-path designs: both anodes connect independently to signal sources, while the cathode ties directly to a single reference rail (e.g., VCC or GND). This eliminates need for two separate cathode traces, reducing PCB layer count in dense 2-layer layouts.
Can BAW56T-7-F replace BAS16T-7-F in existing designs?
No-BAS16T-7-F is a single-diode SOT523 device, whereas BAW56T-7-F contains two diodes in common-cathode configuration. Direct replacement would require circuit modification to accommodate the second anode and shared cathode; however, BAW56T-7-F can replace two parallel BAS16T-7-F units with net reduction in footprint and assembly cost.
