BAT54GW

Single Diodes Overview

The BAT54GW is a planar Schottky barrier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features an integrated guard ring for stress protection and is encapsulated in an SOD123 small Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) plastic package. The device operates with a reverse voltage rating of 30 V and supports an average forward current of 200 mA. Key electrical characteristics include a low forward voltage of VF ≤ 400 mV, low leakage current of IR ≤ 2 µA, and low capacitance.
