Product details
Overview
PMBD6100 from Nexperia is a high-speed double diode in SOT23 package with common cathode configuration, rated for 85 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 450 mA peak forward current, and 4 ns reverse recovery time; used in compact surface-mounted switching circuits such as signal routing and level translation in portable consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the PMBD6100 datasheet, PMBD6100 pinout, PMBD6100 application, or PMBD6100 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery speed, dual-diode thermal derating under shared cathode layout, low capacitance (1.5 pF), and FR4-board power dissipation limits (250 mW).
Technical Context
The PMBD6100 integrates two planar-technology silicon switching diodes sharing a single cathode terminal, enabling compact dual-path rectification or steering without inter-device mismatch. Its 4 ns trr and 1.5 pF Cd support >100 MHz signal switching in RF front-ends and high-frequency DC-DC feedback paths.
Thermal design requires attention to junction-to-ambient resistance (500 K/W on FR4), with continuous forward current derated to 125 mA when both diodes operate simultaneously - confirmed by Fig.2's dual-diode loaded curve at Tamb = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 85 V - supports input transients up to 85 V without avalanche breakdown in clamping or protection circuits |
| trr | 4 ns - enables clean switching in 100+ MHz clock distribution and fast data line steering |
| Cd | 1.5 pF at 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - minimizes signal loading in RF detector and mixer bias networks |
| IF (dual) | 125 mA continuous - maximum simultaneous conduction per diode before thermal shutdown on FR4 PCB |
| VF @ 100 mA | 0.85–1.1 V - defines forward drop impact on power efficiency in low-voltage logic-level translators |
| Rth j-a | 500 K/W - requires thermal relief pads or reduced ambient temperature to sustain full load beyond 25 °C |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (TO-236AB), plastic surface-mounted, 3-lead, dimensions per IEC/JEDEC outline (D = 2.8 mm, E = 1.4 mm, Lp = 1.2 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode of Diode 1 (A1) | Independent anode connection for first diode path; routed separately for dual-input OR-ing or polarity selection |
| 2 | Anode of Diode 2 (A2) | Independent anode connection for second diode path; enables differential signal clamping or dual-rail protection |
| 3 | Common Cathode (K) | Shared output node - simplifies PCB layout but couples thermal and current paths between diodes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | 4 ns reverse recovery time ensures minimal switching distortion in >100 MHz digital signal routing |
| Low diode capacitance | 1.5 pF at zero bias reduces insertion loss and phase shift in RF detector and antenna switch bias lines |
| Common-cathode dual configuration | Reduces component count and board area vs. discrete diodes in dual-rail clamp or OR-gate applications |
| SOT23 footprint compatibility | Standardized 3-pin SMD package enables automated placement and reflow compatibility with legacy designs |
Applications
| USB Data Line Protection | RF Signal Detector Biasing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping transient voltages on USB D+/D− lines during hot-plug events or ESD discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-diode clamp with common cathode tied to VCC, limiting voltage swing to safe levels while preserving signal integrity. Use Value: 4 ns trr prevents signal overshoot distortion; 1.5 pF Cd avoids bandwidth degradation in 480 Mbps High-Speed USB. | Use Scenario: Providing temperature-stable bias current to Schottky detector diodes in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi front-end modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance dual anode path supplies matched bias to parallel detector legs while minimizing RF leakage. Use Value: 1.5 pF Cd and <100 nA IR at 50 V ensure minimal detector loading and stable DC offset over temperature. |
| Logic-Level Translation | Power Rail OR-ing |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional level shifting between 1.8 V and 3.3 V I/O domains in portable SoC interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode configuration allows independent pull-up to each rail, with common cathode connected to signal line. Use Value: 0.85–1.1 V VF at 100 mA ensures predictable voltage drop across translation path, supporting sub-ns timing margins. | Use Scenario: Combining two independent 3.3 V power sources (e.g., battery + USB) with automatic source selection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Anode-to-source, common-cathode-to-load configuration provides passive OR-ing with minimal forward drop. Use Value: 125 mA per diode rating and 0.85 V typical VF enable efficient power combining without active control circuitry. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed dual-diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAT54C,215 | Lower VRRM (30 V), higher Cd (10 pF), same SOT23 package and common-cathode pinout | Not suitable for >30 V clamping; higher capacitance limits use above 10 MHz | Select BAT54C only for low-voltage (<3.3 V), low-frequency (<10 MHz) logic clamping where cost is critical |
| PMESD9V0S1BA,115 | ESD-rated (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4), same VRRM (85 V), but higher VF (1.25 V min) and slower trr (10 ns) | Designed for ESD protection, not general switching; higher forward drop increases power loss in continuous conduction | Choose PMESD9V0S1BA only when system-level ESD compliance is mandatory and switching speed is secondary |
Compared with BAT54C and PMESD9V0S1BA, the PMBD6100 uniquely balances 85 V standoff, 4 ns speed, and 1.5 pF capacitance - making it optimal for high-frequency signal steering where both voltage margin and bandwidth matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current when both diodes operate simultaneously?
The PMBD6100 is rated for 125 mA continuous forward current when both diodes are loaded, as specified in the Limiting Values table under "double diode loaded" condition and confirmed by Fig.2's derating curve on FR4 PCB. Exceeding this causes junction temperature to exceed 150 °C due to shared thermal path via the common cathode.
Can PMBD6100 be used in place of a single high-speed diode?
Yes - Pin 1 and Pin 3 (A1–K) or Pin 2 and Pin 3 (A2–K) form fully functional independent diode paths. The unused anode must be left unconnected or tied to a non-driving potential; no internal coupling exists between A1 and A2 except through the shared cathode node.
Is the 4 ns reverse recovery time guaranteed across temperature?
No - the 4 ns trr is specified at Tj = 25 °C, IF = 10 mA → IR = 10 mA, RL = 100 Ω. Recovery time increases with junction temperature; Fig.7 shows test conditions but does not provide temperature-dependent curves. For designs operating above 85 °C, derating or characterization is required.
Does the marking code ∗5B indicate RoHS compliance?
Yes - all PMBD6100 devices manufactured after Nexperia's transition (2017 onward) comply with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The ∗5B marking reflects production location (Hong Kong/Malaysia/China) and date code; RoHS status is verified per Nexperia's public compliance documentation and applies regardless of manufacturing site.
