Additionally, the low power loss provides a cost-efficient solution.

Working Principle

The BAW56TT1G is composed of two double Schottky barrier diode arrays, each featuring individual diode junction drops of 0.27 V for forward setting. When the diode array is forward biased, it works as a solid state switch and allows current to flow from the anode to the cathode for switching applications. When the diode array is reversed biased, it works as a current shunt and prevents current from flowing from the anode to the cathode. The diodes also feature a fast switching speed, allowing efficient and rapid switching and commutation in applications.

Conclusion

To summarise, the BAW56TT1G is an ideal diode array for applications requiring low current and low voltage. If offers a low forward voltage drop, low switching power loss and a very fast switching speed, making it an attractive option for a range of applications such as automotive, lighting, industrial equipment and portable electronics. It works as a solid state switch when forward biased, allowing current to flow, and as a current shunt when reverse biased, preventing current from flowing. This makes it an effective and reliable diode array for a variety of applications.
