Diodes are the basic elements used in many applications to control current flow. Rectifiers are electrical components which are used to rectify alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Arrays of diodes or rectifiers provide benefits over individual devices because they reduce cost, size and complexity of the circuit design.

The MSCD36-12 is an array of twelve integrated Schottky diodes for use in controlling current flow. It is ideal for power control applications in automotive and industrial electronics. It is particularly suited for applications where high speed switching and low voltage operation are required. This device features on-resistance of 0.5 ohms, a reverse current (leakage) of 0.5uA and a high-temperature operation up to 150degrees Celsius.

The MSCD36-12 is typically used for automotive reverse-battery protection, switch mode power supplies, high power converters and solar power control applications. It can be used with a wide range of voltage input variations, and the reverse-battery protection makes it suitable for distributed power systems. When used in switch mode power supplies, the MSCD36-12 provides better current control and improved efficiency.

The working principle of the MSCD36-12 is based on the P-N junction diode. This device is composed of several P-N junctions connected back-to-back. When a voltage is applied across the terminals of the diode array, the P-N junction diodes become forward-biased and allow current to flow in one direction (from anode to cathode). The voltage drop across each diode is also used to regulate the amount of current that can flow. When the voltage is below the breakover voltage, no current flows. This prevents damage due to short-circuit or reverse current conditions.

The P-N junction diodes also serve to control the speed of switching in automotive, or other similar applications. With a combination of 2 P-N junctions in series, the speed of switching can be further regulated. This is due to the fact that the forward voltage drop of the second diode limits the amount of current that can flow. This concept is applied to the MSCD36-12 to reduce the switching time and to provide better current control.

The MSCD36-12 is an array of twelve integrated Schottky diodes for use in a variety of power control applications. It utilizes the working principle of the P-N junction diode and the combination of two P-N junctions connected in series to control the speed of the switching. The device features low on-resistance and reverse current leakage, making it suitable for distributed power systems. The MSCD36-12 is suitable for automotive reverse-battery protection, switch mode power supplies, high power converters and solar power control applications.
