BAT6405WE6327HTSA1

Diodes: Rectifiers: Arrays

The BAT6405WE6327HTSA1 is a type of diode array used in power management applications, specifically in AC/DC conversion. It is an integrated circuit composed of four Schottky barrier rectifier diodes connected in a bridge configuration. This type of bridge is known as a 4-phase bridge rectifier, used in applications where four phases of rectification are required to improve power factor and reduce power dissipation.

The diode array consists of four synchronous rectifier (SR) diodes, where each rectifier diode has been replaced with an SR diode. An SR diode is essentially a standard rectifier diode, but with additional built-in capabilities to actively control the forward conduction and reverse blocking characteristics of the diode. By controlling the on and off times during for each diode, power factor of the power management system can be optimized. This allows for much higher efficiency compared to traditional linear power supplies.

Power factor is a measure of the AC power delivered to the output of any power converter. It reflects the storage and release of energy in the system during each power conversion cycle. The higher the power factor, the better efficiency is achieved. The BAT6405WE6327HTSA1 4-phase bridge rectifier array helps to improve the power factor by actively controlling the on and off times of each diode. This helps to reduce power loss and overall system cost.

The BAT6405WE6327HTSA1 array is widely used in AC/DC and DC/DC converters due to its superior power efficiency, cost effectiveness and wide range of operating conditions. It is also used in a variety of other applications including high speed switching, capacitor and MOSFETs drivers, as well as in LED lighting. With increasing demand for more efficient and cost-effective AC/DC and DC/DC power converters, the BAT6405WE6327HTSA1 4-phase bridge rectifier array is becoming an increasingly popular choice.
