BAT54C RF

Single Diodes Overview

The BAT54C RF is a dual common cathode Schottky barrier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It utilizes silicon epitaxial technology and is housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. The device supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 30 V and an average forward current of 200 mA per diode. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1 V at the rated current, a reverse leakage current of 2 µA, and a forward surge current capability of 600 mA. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode configuration for efficient circuit design
• Extremely fast switching speed suitable for high-frequency applications
• Low forward voltage drop for improved power efficiency
• Automotive-grade reliability with AEC-Q101 qualification

Single Diodes Applications

• DC-DC converter rectification
• Power supply protection circuits
• RF mixing and detection stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RF' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packaging details and exact marking codes. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your assembly process. Confirm availability status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors as lead times may vary based on production schedules.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-capacitance, fast-switching dual Schottky diode is required in a compact SOT-23 footprint. It serves as a direct replacement for standard BAT54C devices where automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) is mandated. Consider its 30 V rating and 200 mA current capacity for signal processing and low-power rectification tasks.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BAT54 series of silicon epitaxial Schottky barrier diodes from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series is designed for general-purpose switching and rectification. The 'C' designation indicates a dual common cathode arrangement, while the 'RF' suffix typically denotes specific reel packaging or marking variations defined by the manufacturer.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Standard BAT54C components are functionally equivalent regarding electrical parameters. Verify that substitute parts also hold AEC-Q101 certification if automotive application is required. Check pinout compatibility and thermal dissipation limits before swapping.
