BAV70QBZ

Overview

The BAV70QBZ is a high-speed switching double diode manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It is encapsulated in a compact SOT323 (SC-70) surface-mount device plastic package. The component features a reverse voltage rating of V_R ≤ 100 V and exhibits low capacitance with C_d ≤ 1.5 pF. It provides very low leakage current and achieves a high switching speed characterized by a reverse recovery time of t_rr ≤ 4 ns.

Feature Summary

• High switching speed with reverse recovery time of 4 ns or less
• Low capacitance for signal integrity
• Very small SMD plastic package

Applications

• High-speed switching circuits
• General-purpose switching applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QBZ' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm exact binning or tape-and-reel specifications, as standard datasheets may list generic variants. Ensure the source document explicitly identifies this part number to avoid confusion with similar high-speed diodes in the same series.

Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit design requires minimal parasitic capacitance and rapid transition times. The SOT323 package is suitable for space-constrained layouts. Confirm that the 100 V reverse voltage rating meets the peak inverse voltage requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BAV70 series of high-speed switching double diodes. These devices are designed for applications demanding fast response times and low power consumption. The double diode configuration allows for efficient implementation of logic functions or protection circuits within a single compact footprint.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other BAV70 series variants such as BAV70W if package compatibility differs. Verify electrical parameters like reverse recovery time and capacitance match the original design requirements before substitution.
