Product details
Overview
PMBD7100 from Nexperia is a high-speed double diode in SOT23 package with common-cathode configuration, designed for fast switching in compact analog and digital signal paths. It delivers 4 ns reverse recovery time, 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 450 mA peak forward current, and 1.5 pF diode capacitance at 0 V - enabling use in ESD-protected data line clamping and high-frequency detector circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMBD7100 datasheet, PMBD7100 pinout, PMBD7100 application, or PMBD7100 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery timing under 10 mA switching conditions, dual-anode/common-cathode topology compatibility with level-shifting interfaces, thermal resistance (360 K/W junction-to-tie-point), and low-leakage performance (<2.5 µA at 100 V, 25 °C).
Technical Context
The PMBD7100 integrates two planar-processed silicon switching diodes sharing a single cathode terminal, supporting independent anode control in space-constrained layouts. Its 4 ns trr and 1.75 V forward recovery voltage are measured under standardized 10 mA IF → 10 mA IR switching with 100 Ω load, confirming suitability for >10 MHz pulse shaping and RF detector biasing.
Thermal design relies on its 360 K/W junction-to-tie-point resistance and FR4 PCB mounting assumptions; derating curves show 215 mA continuous forward current per diode at 25 °C ambient, dropping to 125 mA when both diodes conduct simultaneously - critical for dual-rail clamp implementations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - supports clamping of transient surges up to 100 V without breakdown in telecom/data line protection. |
| trr | 4 ns - enables clean switching in 10–50 MHz clocked sample-and-hold or envelope detection circuits. |
| Cd | 1.5 pF at 0 V - minimizes capacitive loading on high-impedance signal nodes such as RF mixer IF outputs. |
| IFRM | 450 mA - allows brief current surges during ESD event clamping without permanent degradation. |
| Rth j-tp | 360 K/W - defines thermal path efficiency from die to PCB copper tie-point; requires ≥10 mm² 1-oz copper pad for rated power dissipation. |
| VF @ 10 mA | 855 mV - establishes forward drop in low-current bias networks, e.g., reference voltage dividers with <1% error contribution. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in the industry-standard SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package, the PMBD7100 uses a 3-pin outline with 1.9 mm × 1.3 mm footprint and 1.1 mm height. Pin 1 and Pin 2 serve as independent anodes; Pin 3 is the shared cathode connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode A1) | First diode anode | Accepts positive input for first diode path; used for bidirectional signal routing or dual-rail clamping. |
| 2 (Anode A2) | Second diode anode | Independent anode for second diode; enables separate control of two signal paths sharing one cathode return. |
| 3 (Cathode) | Common cathode | Single low-impedance return node for both diodes; simplifies PCB layout and reduces ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | 4 ns reverse recovery time enables operation in >10 MHz signal conditioning without waveform distortion. |
| Low diode capacitance | 1.5 pF at 0 V reverse bias preserves signal integrity on 50 Ω transmission lines and RF detector inputs. |
| Common-cathode dual-diode topology | Reduces component count by 50% vs. discrete diode pairs in level-shifted clamp or OR-ing applications. |
| FR4-compatible thermal design | 360 K/W junction-to-tie-point resistance validated on standard 1.6 mm FR4, enabling predictable thermal modeling. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Line Protection | RF Detector Bias Network |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping ESD transients on D+ and D− lines before USB PHY receiver input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode clamping diode with common cathode tied to 3.3 V rail; conducts surge current within 4 ns to limit voltage excursion. Use Value: 100 V VRRM withstands IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV air) surges while 1.5 pF capacitance avoids signal jitter on 480 Mbps data streams. | Use Scenario: Providing temperature-stable DC bias to Schottky diode in RF power detector front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance, low-leakage bias path generator using one diode leg; second leg reserved for redundancy or alternate band. Use Value: 30 nA IR at 25 V ensures minimal detector offset drift; 4 ns trr prevents harmonic mixing artifacts during pulsed RF bursts. |
| Dual-Rail Level Shifter | High-Frequency Sample-and-Hold Input Clamp |
Use Scenario: Translating logic signals between 1.8 V and 3.3 V domains with bidirectional voltage limiting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two independent anodes referenced to different supply rails; common cathode connected to intermediate clamp voltage. Use Value: Simultaneous conduction capability (125 mA per diode at 25 °C ambient) supports sustained 100 kHz level-shifted control signaling without thermal runaway. | Use Scenario: Protecting precision op-amp input during fast acquisition phase in ADC front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turn-on clamp limiting input swing to ±0.7 V during sampling edge; common cathode tied to reference voltage. Use Value: 1.75 V forward recovery voltage ensures sub-20 ns settling after clamp activation, preserving 12-bit effective resolution at 1 MSPS. |
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 trr (5 ns), same SOT23 package and common-cathode pinout. | Not suitable for 100 V transient suppression; limited to ≤30 V rail clamping in consumer port protection. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage rating needs and 5 ns trr is acceptable. |
| PMST7100,215 | Identical electrical specs and pinout; differs only in SOT323 (SC-70) package - 1.25 mm × 1.0 mm footprint. | Enables denser layout but requires tighter solder mask definition and has higher thermal resistance (Rth j-a = 625 K/W). | Select when board area is constrained and thermal margin permits reduced copper area. |
Compared with BAT54C,215 and PMST7100,215, the PMBD7100 uniquely balances 100 V standoff, 4 ns speed, and SOT23 manufacturability - making it optimal for industrial interface protection where reliability and legacy footprint compatibility are prioritized over minimal size or lowest cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient temperature, the maximum continuous forward current per diode is 140 mA when mounted on an FR4 PCB, derived from the derating curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet. This value assumes single-diode conduction; simultaneous conduction reduces the limit to 85 mA due to shared thermal path through the common cathode.
Can PMBD7100 be used in AC-coupled RF applications above 1 GHz?
No - while its 1.5 pF capacitance is low, the 4 ns reverse recovery time corresponds to a theoretical bandwidth limit of ~80 MHz. At 1 GHz, parasitic package inductance and junction capacitance resonance degrade isolation and insertion loss beyond acceptable levels for RF front-end use.
Is the common cathode internally bonded to the lead frame or isolated?
The common cathode (Pin 3) is directly bonded to the exposed copper tie-point of the SOT23 lead frame, providing a low-inductance, low-resistance thermal and electrical path. This construction is confirmed in the thermal resistance specification Rth j-tp = 360 K/W and the package outline drawing showing Pin 3 as the central tie-bar connection.
Does PMBD7100 meet AEC-Q101 for automotive applications?
No - the PMBD7100 is not qualified to AEC-Q101. It is specified for industrial and consumer applications only. For automotive use, Nexperia offers the PMPB7100 series, which shares identical electrical characteristics but undergoes extended temperature cycling, HTSL, and ESD testing per AEC-Q101 requirements.
