Working Principle

BAV70T116 is an array of seven WNM series monolithic Schottky rectifiers optimized for low forward drop, high yield, low on-state resistance and fast switching.The WNM series is composed of a substrate and a cathode (Green Mark) connected on one side, and a gold plated anode connected on the other side.The WNM series has a lower leakage current than the previous generation and an enhanced reverse voltage clamping performance. This ensures reliable operation and a long operating life.

BAV70T116 works by allowing a current to flow only in one direction and blocking current in the opposite direction. It is designed with a galvanic insulation substrate to ensure a uniform temperature coefficient during switching and reduce power consumption. It also features a low forward voltage drop and a fast switching characteristic which make it excellent for high speed circuits.

In addition, BAV70T116 features a high reliability design with an enhanced reverse voltage clamping performance and lower leakage current compared to the previous generation. It also features a soft recovery characteristic, which minimizes switching losses due to the suppression of power ringing. This provides a more stable performance during high speed switching conditions.

Because of its reliable performance, high yield and low power consumption, BAV70T116 is ideally suited for a wide range of applications including high speed circuits, general purpose switching and communications applications. It is an excellent choice for space-limited customer products such as cell phones, laptops and tablets.
