Diodes are electronic components that allow an electrical current to flow in one direction through them but block it in the opposite direction. Rectifiers are a type of diode that convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Arrays are composed of multiple diodes connected together in one single package.

The BAV99WT1G is a diode array manufactured by ON Semiconductor. This device is an integrated anti-parallel diode array composed of four independently-adhering dual Zener diodes with a common cathode connection. It is commonly used as an overvoltage protection device in automotive applications and as a voltage clamp in consumer electronics.

Application Field

The BAV99WT1G is designed for use in automotive applications and consumer electronics. Specifically, it is most commonly used in 12V automotive power control systems including generators, lamps, switches, and more. Additionally, it is used in other consumer electronics products, such as game consoles, smartphones, and touch screen displays, to prevent overvoltage damage from static electricity.

Working Principle

The BAV99WT1G works by combining four independent dual Zener diodes into a single anti-parallel package. In a dual Zener diode, current flows in one direction through two Zener diodes connected in series. This allows the device to act as a voltage regulator by swallowing unneeded voltage in the system.

In a 4-diode BAV99WT1G package, the two diodes are connected in an anti-parallel configuration. This enables the device to block unwanted voltage at both directions, by creating a voltage drop between the anode and the cathode of the diode pair. This helps to prevent damage from overvoltage conditions, both in AC and DC circuits.

When a voltage difference is detected across the anode and the cathode terminals, the anti-parallel diodes are turned on and the Zener diodes start to regulate the voltage.This helps to keep the circuit safe from overvoltage and any other dangerous electrical fluctuations, as well as reduce the amount of power lost during operation.

The BAV99WT1G is also designed to be able to handle high reverse current levels, this makes it an ideal choice for automotive applications in particular. This quality allows it to handle current reversals on the car battery more easily.

By using the four independent dual Zener diodes of the BAV99WT1G in an anti-parallel configuration, this device can provide effective overflow protection for automotive applications and consumer electronics.
