Overview
BAW56W-QF from Nexperia is a dual high-speed switching diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, configured as a common-anode pair with reverse voltage rating of 90 V, reverse recovery time ≤ 4 ns, and junction capacitance ≤ 2 pF - used for signal routing and clamping in automotive infotainment power management stages.
For engineers reviewing the BAW56W-QF datasheet, BAW56W-QF pinout, BAW56W-QF application, or BAW56W-QF equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance values, and validated automotive-grade switching performance metrics without generic assumptions.
Technical Context
This dual diode integrates two independent P-N junctions sharing a common anode terminal, enabling bidirectional clamping or complementary switching in compact space-constrained layouts. Its trr ≤ 4 ns and Cd ≤ 2 pF support >100 MHz signal integrity in RF front-end bias networks and ESD-protected I/O interfaces.
The device operates across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient range with Rth(j-a) = 625 K/W on FR4 PCB, and is rated for IF = 130 mA continuous per diode and IFSM = 4 A (1 µs pulse), meeting automotive transient surge requirements per ISO 7637-2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | ≤ 4 ns - enables clean switching at ≥100 MHz clock rates in digital logic interface protection |
| Junction Capacitance (Cd) | ≤ 2 pF at 0 V - minimizes signal loading in high-frequency RF detector and mixer bias paths |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 855 mV at 10 mA - ensures low conduction loss in low-power level-shifting and clamp circuits |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at 80 V, 25 °C - maintains signal fidelity in precision analog sampling and sensor conditioning |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - sustains operation in under-hood ECUs and ADAS camera modules without derating |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode in BAW56W-QF?
The BAW56W-QF supports 130 mA continuous forward current per diode at Tamb ≤ 25 °C when mounted on an FR4 PCB with standard footprint. Derating applies above 25 °C ambient, following the thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 625 K/W and maximum junction temperature of 150 °C.
Is BAW56W-QF pin-compatible with BAW56W?
Yes - BAW56W-QF and BAW56W share identical SOT323 (SC-70) pinout (K1, K2, CA), same mechanical dimensions, and identical electrical specifications. The "-QF" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification; the base BAW56W is not automotive-qualified.
Can BAW56W-QF be used in AC-coupled RF applications?
Yes - with Cd ≤ 2 pF at 0 V and trr ≤ 4 ns, BAW56W-QF is suitable for RF signal path clamping up to 2.4 GHz, provided reverse bias remains below 80 V and average power dissipation stays within 200 mW total device limit.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point (Rth(j-sp)) for BAW56W-QF?
The thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 300 K/W, measured under standard mounting conditions on FR4 PCB. This value supports thermal modeling for PCB layout optimization in high-density automotive modules where localized heating must remain below 150 °C junction temperature.
