BAS40-07,215 Discrete Semiconductor Products

The BAS40-07,215 is a member of the diode rectifier arrays family. It is composed of eight separate diodes connected in an array. The device is taught to bridge voltage, current and power with traditional diodes while being resistive to fast voltage transients. These properties make it ideal for a wide range of applications including protection against surges and reverse use.

The most common use of the BAS40-07,215 is as a voltage rectification, where the device bridges an AC voltage waveform to provide a DC voltage. This device is used in applications such as power supplies, motor controllers, and medical devices. The BAS40-07,215 is also utilized in voltage multiplier circuits for applications that require a higher voltage than traditionally available.

The BAS40-07,215 uses a unique design that includes a resistor array to resist transients. This helps to ensure that voltage transients, such as spikes or brownouts, do not cause a spike in power. The device also has a built-in temperature compensation that keeps the output voltage stable over operating temperature range. This makes the BAS40-07,215 an ideal device for high-temperature and extreme-environment applications.

The working principle of the BAS40-07,215 is relatively simple. An AC voltage waveform is connected to the device’s input, while its output is connected to the load. As each successive voltage wave passes through the device, the diodes will be struck forward, with each diode switching one after the other in rapid succession. The result is a pulsed DC voltage at the device’s output with the magnitude based on the forward voltage drop of each individual diode. The magnitude of the output voltage is determined by the number of diodes in the array, their forward voltage drop, and the frequency of the input voltage.

The BAS40-07,215 is a versatile device that offers a wide range of potential uses. Its unique design and efficient operation make it a reliable device for multiple applications from voltage multiplication to transient protection. With its unique resistive characteristics, the BAS40-07,215 is an ideal device for high-temperature and extreme-environment applications.
