Product details
Overview
PMBD6050,215 from Nexperia is a high-speed planar silicon switching diode in SOT23 package, featuring 4 ns reverse recovery time, 70 V continuous reverse voltage, and 500 mA repetitive peak forward current. It serves as a fast signal path switch in thin-film RF front-ends and precision sample-and-hold circuits where low capacitance (1.5 pF) and minimal forward recovery voltage (1.75 V) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the PMBD6050,215 datasheet, PMBD6050,215 pinout, PMBD6050,215 application, or PMBD6050,215 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery timing under 10 mA switching conditions, thermal resistance (500 K/W on FR4), junction temperature limit (150 °C), and SOT23-compatible layout compatibility with high-density PCBs.
Technical Context
The PMBD6050,215 uses planar epitaxial construction to achieve consistent trr ≤ 4 ns at IF = IR = 10 mA with RL = 100 Ω, measured at IR = 1 mA. Its low Cd = 1.5 pF at VR = 0 V and f = 1 MHz enables stable operation in >100 MHz signal routing paths without parasitic resonance.
It operates with VF = 855 mV at IF = 10 mA and exhibits IR = 100 nA at VR = 50 V and Tj = 25 °C - confirming low-leakage behavior essential for battery-powered sensor interfaces and analog multiplexers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| trr | 4 ns - enables clean edge transitions in 100+ MHz digital logic and RF sampling gates |
| VRRM | 85 V - supports transient-tolerant signal clamping in industrial I/O protection |
| Cd | 1.5 pF at 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - minimizes capacitive loading on high-impedance nodes |
| IFRM | 500 mA - sustains pulsed current in burst-mode power control circuits |
| Rth(j-a) | 500 K/W on FR4 - defines derating curve for ambient temperatures up to 100 °C |
| VF @ 10 mA | 855 mV - ensures low forward drop in low-voltage bias networks |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (TO-236AB), 3-lead plastic surface-mount package with standard footprint and thermal pad omission. Dimensions per JEDEC outline: D = 2.8 mm, E = 1.4 mm, Lp = 2.1 mm, e = 1.9 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Forward current entry point; connects to drive source in clamp or switch configuration |
| 2 | Not connected | No internal bond; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling |
| 3 | Cathode | Current return path; ties to reference rail or load return in high-speed switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | trr ≤ 4 ns ensures sub-10 ns transition fidelity in pulse shaping and data gating |
| Low diode capacitance | 1.5 pF at zero bias enables use in 200 MHz+ RF detector and mixer bias networks |

Applications
| RF Signal Switching | Precision Analog Multiplexing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Fast toggling of antenna paths in 2.4 GHz ISM-band transceivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed signal path selector with minimal insertion loss and crosstalk. Use Value: 4 ns trr and 1.5 pF capacitance preserve signal integrity across 100–300 MHz bandwidths. | Use Scenario: Channel selection in 16-bit SAR ADC front-end with multiple sensor inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage analog switch element isolating inactive channels. Use Value: IR = 100 nA at 50 V reverse bias prevents DC offset drift in µV-level measurements. |
| High-Frequency Clamping | Digital Logic Level Translation |
Use Scenario: Input protection for FPGA I/O banks exposed to ±15 V ESD transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting clamp limiting voltage excursions before TVS activation. Use Value: 85 V VRRM and 4 ns response enable pre-emptive suppression of 10/1000 µs surges. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional level shifting between 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO and 5 V peripheral bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive diode-based translation with minimal propagation delay. Use Value: VF = 855 mV at 10 mA ensures <100 ps skew between rising/falling edges. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAT54C,215 | Lower VRRM (30 V), higher Cd (10 pF), same SOT23 package | Unsuitable for >40 V clamping; limited to low-voltage logic and USB signal routing | Select only when reverse voltage stays below 25 V and capacitance tolerance >5 pF |
| 1N4148W,115 | Higher trr (4 ns typical but up to 8 ns max), same VRRM (100 V), larger SOD-123 package | Slower timing margin in >50 MHz sampling; requires larger board area | Prefer when higher surge current (4 A IFSM) outweighs speed and size constraints |
Compared with BAT54C,215 and 1N4148W,115, the PMBD6050,215 uniquely balances 4 ns trr, 85 V VRRM, and 1.5 pF capacitance in SOT23 - making it optimal for compact, high-frequency signal routing where both speed and voltage headroom matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for PMBD6050,215?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, validated under continuous operation with Ptot ≤ 250 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB. Derating begins above 25 °C at 0.5 mW/°C based on Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W. Exceeding 150 °C risks permanent parametric shift in trr and leakage current.
Is Pin 2 internally connected in PMBD6050,215?
No, Pin 2 is explicitly marked "not connected" in the official Nexperia datasheet and has no internal bond wire or die connection. It must remain unconnected on the PCB to prevent unintended coupling or thermal path disruption. Solder mask coverage is recommended to avoid accidental shorts.
How does PMBD6050,215 perform at elevated temperature?
At Tj = 150 °C, IR increases to 50 µA at VR = 50 V - a 500× rise over room-temperature leakage. trr remains stable within specification, but VF decreases by ~2 mV/°C. Thermal design must ensure junction stays within limits using the stated Rth(j-a) and ambient derating curves.
Can PMBD6050,215 replace 1N4148 in high-frequency circuits?
Yes, but only where VRRM ≥ 70 V and trr ≤ 4 ns are required. The PMBD6050,215 offers lower capacitance (1.5 pF vs. ~4 pF) and tighter trr distribution than standard 1N4148 variants. However, its 215 mA IF continuous rating is lower than 1N4148's 300 mA, so average current must be verified.
