BAS101,215 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for BAS101 and BAS215?
  The recommended operating voltage range for BAS101 and BAS215 is 1.65 V to 5.5 V, although they can tolerate up to 6 V for short periods.
• How do I ensure the ESD protection diodes in BAS101 and BAS215 do not interfere with my circuit's operation?
  To avoid interference, ensure that the ESD protection diodes are not forward-biased during normal operation. This can be done by keeping the voltage on the protected lines within the recommended operating range and avoiding voltage transients that could forward-bias the diodes.
• Can I use BAS101 and BAS215 for high-frequency applications?
  Yes, BAS101 and BAS215 can be used for high-frequency applications up to 1 GHz. However, the performance may degrade at higher frequencies due to the internal capacitance and inductance of the devices.
• How do I choose between BAS101 and BAS215 for my application?
  BAS101 has a lower capacitance (0.5 pF) and is suitable for high-speed applications, while BAS215 has a higher capacitance (1.5 pF) and is suitable for applications requiring higher ESD protection levels. Choose the device based on your specific application requirements.
• Can I use BAS101 and BAS215 in automotive applications?
  Yes, BAS101 and BAS215 are qualified according to the AEC-Q101 standard, making them suitable for use in automotive applications.
