BAV70W/ZLF

Rectifiers have been used in many applications for a long time. Recently, the BAV70W/ZLF rectifier array has emerged as an important part of the field of rectifiers thanks to its outstanding performance. This article will explore the applications and working principle of this device.

The BAV70W/ZLF is a 3-pin rectifier that packs three dual channel reverse blocking Schottky diodes into a PowerPAK® SC-70 package. The device has a reverse operating voltage of up to 20 volts and a low forward voltage drop of 0.59 volts. This rectifier is ideal for use in applications that require high efficiency and small size. These devices are widely used in automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial applications.

The BAV70W/ZLF can be used in a variety of different power supply applications, such as full wave rectification, active power filtering, bridge rectification, and voltage regulation. The device is capable of providing up to 700mA of continuous output current and can switch up to 20 kHz. This makes it well suited for digital circuits, high-speed switching applications, and active power filtering circuits.

The working principle of the BAV70W/ZLF is straightforward. The three dual channel reverse blocking Schottky diodes, which are connected in series, allow current to flow in one direction only and block current flow in the opposite direction. This allows it to be used as a full wave rectifier or bridge rectifier. In addition, the low forward voltage drop of the device allows it to be used for active power filtering circuits.

In conclusion, the BAV70W/ZLF is a versatile and efficient rectifier array that is used in a variety of electrical applications. The device can be used for full wave rectification, active power filtering, bridge rectification, voltage regulation, and more. The device is designed to handle up to 20 volts, with a low forward voltage drop, making it suitable for high-speed switching applications. By understanding the applications and working principle of the BAV70W/ZLF, engineers and technicians can develop cost-effective and reliable power supply designs.
