Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

The BAV99WE6327BTSA1 rectifier diode array is designed for high speed switching and power supply applications. This part features a low forward voltage and reverse current leakage, a high forward current handling capability, and a high reverse voltage rating. Its design allows it to be used as a rectifier in many applications, and is especially suited for automotive and portable applications.

The BAV99WE6327BTSA1 is composed of two low-voltage diodes in an integrated package which share a common cathode. This two-diode array allows the device to be used to rectify both alternating current (AC) as well as direct current (DC) power sources. It is well suited for power supplies and battery charging applications.

Application Fields

The BAV99WE6327BTSA1 rectifier diode array is used for power rectification and voltage regulation in many consumer, automotive, and industrial applications. It is especially useful for power supplies with low-noise operation, battery chargers for portable devices, lighting, and motor control applications.

Working Principle

When AC power is applied to the BAV99WE6327BTSA1, electricity is directed through one of the two diodes. The two diodes act as a rectifier, allowing current to flow in one direction only. This flow of current can be used to regulate the output voltage. The current that passes through the diodes creates a voltage drop across it, which is known as the forward voltage drop. This voltage drop is what allows the device to be used for voltage regulation and power rectification.

The BAV99WE6327BTSA1 rectifier diode array is also capable of rectifying DC power sources. In this application, the two diodes are connected in parallel. This connection allows the device to conduct current in either direction without having to reverse the polarity of the applied power source. This configuration also allows current to be shared equally between the two diodes, making it especially suitable for battery charging and power supply applications.

Conclusion

The BAV99WE6327BTSA1 rectifier diode array is an ideal solution for many switching and power supply applications. Its low voltage drop, high forward current handling capability, and high reverse voltage rating make it particularly useful for automotive and portable device applications. Furthermore, its two low voltage diodes make it ideal for rectifying both AC and DC power sources. This makes it suitable for use in power supplies, battery chargers, lighting, and motor control applications.
