The BAS31 is an array of three diodes with identical characteristics that share the same anode and cathode terminals. It is typically used to provide an external current limit point, and to protect circuits from excessive current flows. These types of devices are available in different voltage ratings and are often used in applications such as telecommunications, automotive, computers and general digital systems.

The diode array is composed of rectifier diodes connected in series with their anodes connected together and the cathodes connected. This type of configuration provides a bridge rectifier effect with the diodes tracking one another’s forward voltage drop. This presents an increased voltage tolerance level, as the current that flows through the device is equal to the sum of the forward voltage drops of the individual diode’s.

The BAS31\'s biggest appeal is its ability to preserve space on a printed circuit board (PCB). The three separate components are combined into one, allowing for an advantageous space saving on the PCB. This also helps with reducing noise levels and heat dissipation as there are fewer parts than with separate components, meaning a reduction of power loss.

The BAS31 works by limiting the current flow in only one direction, known as a blocking or non-conductive state. When currents flows in the other direction the device acts as a low forward voltage drop, known as a conducting or conductive state. This is achieved by reducing the voltage on the anode of the diodes. When the anode voltage is lower than the sum of the voltage drops of the three diodes, the current will flow through the device.

The BAS31 is available with a variety of breakdown voltages (Vb) and ratings, allowing it to be utilized in different types of applications. It is most commonly used to limit the current on power circuits and to prevent damage to sensitive components and systems. This can be done by setting the BAS31 reverse blocking voltage (Vb) to the desired fixed limit. It can then be used to provide protection from over-currents or surges, by protecting sensitive components from excessive current.

The BAS31 is also used in flyback protection applications. This involves connecting the BAS31 to a load which is then connected to the input of the device. In order to protect the internal circuit from excessive reverse current caused by flyback, the forward blocking voltage (Vb) of the BAS31 is set just slightly below the power supply voltage. When an excessive current is detected, the BAS31 will switch to its non-conductive state and prevent the current and potentially damaging voltages from entering the circuit.

The BAS31 device is also widely used for circuits with clock circuits, as the device can be used to set the speed of the internal clock from a single frequency source. When the voltage of the clock source is higher than the BAS31s blocking voltage, the device will switch to its conductive state, allowing the clock to run at the desired frequency.

In summary, the BAS31 diode array allows for a single device to provide multiple functions with an efficient space-saving design. It is widely used in telecommunications, automotive, computers and general digital systems, primarily to provide current limiting, protection and regulating functions. This device is available in a variety of voltage ratings and provides a maximum of three diodes in a single package, allowing for many different applications.
