BAV23CA

Overview

The Diotec Semiconductor BAV23CA is a small signal switching diode featuring a common anode configuration housed in an SOT-23 package. It supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 250 V and a maximum average forward current of 225 mA per diode. The device exhibits a low junction capacitance of less than 5 pF and a reverse recovery time under 50 ns. Power dissipation is rated at 350 mW, with an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• High-speed switching capability with superfast reverse recovery characteristics
• Low leakage current and minimal junction capacitance for signal integrity
• High reverse voltage tolerance suitable for demanding switching environments

Applications

• High-speed switching circuits
• Signal processing applications
• General-purpose rectifying tasks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering. Standard versions are commercial/industrial grade. Versions with the -Q suffix meet AEC-Q101 compliance standards, while -AQ indicates qualification status. Confirm RoHS and REACH adherence requirements for your specific manufacturing process before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high-voltage handling within a compact surface-mount footprint. The common anode topology allows for efficient dual-diode integration in shared reference circuits. Ensure thermal management accounts for the 350 mW power dissipation limit during continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BAV series of SMD small signal diodes manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It shares the same physical package and general electrical architecture as variants like BAV23CC and BAV23SE, distinguished primarily by its internal common anode connection scheme rather than external pinout changes.
