BAT54A-G

Representing the latest in diode array technology is the BAT54A-G. This is a high-performance, ultra-low-capacitance, Schottky diode array, designed to meet the requirements of the modern electronic market. It is an ideal device for high-speed switching, as well as for low-level signal processing and mixed-signal waveforms.

The BAT54A-G is an array of four Schottky diodes in a single small, low-profile case. The devices are constructed from low-forward voltage drop Schottky diodes, which not only minimizes the power losses, but also allows the array to meet the speed requirements of many applications. They feature an ultra-low capacitance of only 0.08pF, which minimises switching transients and eliminates high frequency interference.

The array is designed for use in both high-current and low-level switching applications. It has a robust structure and is based on a metal-oxide-semiconductor process. Its small size allows it to be used in space-constrained applications, such as portable and handheld devices. It also has excellent transient performance, making it ideal for fast signal switching. The array is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including automotive, communications, computing, and consumer electronics.

The working principle of the BAT54A-G is the same as any other Schottky diode array. The array consists of two pairs of diodes, connected in parallel and back to back. When a negative voltage is applied to the anode, the diode pairs alternatively turn on and off. This causes the current to flow in one direction, allowing the electrons to move in only one direction and blocking the flow of electrons in the opposite direction. This allows the device to function as a rectifier, rectifying the alternating current into a direct current. It also prevents reverse current flow and allows only forward current flow when the voltage is greater than the forward voltage of the device.

The BAT54A-G is the ideal choice for applications requiring a low-capacitance, low forward voltage Schottky diode array. It is fast, reliable and can operate at high frequencies, making it suitable for a wide range of modern applications. It is offered in a range of packages and can be purchased in varying configurations, allowing users to find the best fit for their application requirements.
