Nexperia USA Inc. PMEG045V100EPDZ

Overview

PMEG045V100EPDZ from Nexperia is a 45 V, 10 A low forward-voltage MEGA Schottky barrier rectifier in a CFP15 (SOT1289) surface-mount package, featuring integrated guard ring for stress protection and clip-bonding for enhanced thermal performance. It delivers 420–490 mV forward voltage at 10 A and 25 °C, supports AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, and is used in DC-DC converters, freewheeling paths, and reverse polarity protection circuits.

For engineers reviewing the PMEG045V100EPDZ datasheet, PMEG045V100EPDZ pinout, PMEG045V100EPDZ application, or PMEG045V100EPDZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, thermal resistance values (as low as 3 K/W junction-to-solder-point), reverse recovery time (17 ns ramp, 37 ns step), diode capacitance (400 pF @ 10 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification status - all critical for high-efficiency power stage design.

Technical Context

This Schottky rectifier uses planar MEGA technology with an integrated guard ring to improve ruggedness against voltage transients and thermal stress. Its clip-bonded construction directly connects the die to the cathode tab, enabling low R_th(j-sp) of 3 K/W and supporting 210 A non-repetitive peak forward current.

The device exhibits ultra-low VF (420 mV typ. @ 10 A, 25 °C) and fast switching behavior: trr = 17 ns (ramp) and 37 ns (step), with negligible minority-carrier storage. Its 400 pF capacitance at 10 V and 1 MHz enables stable operation in high-frequency SMPS topologies up to several hundred kHz.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?

The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C per IEC 60134 limiting values. For reliable long-term operation, Nexperia recommends maintaining T_j ≤ 150 °C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions, especially in automotive applications where thermal cycling durability is critical.

Does PMEG045V100EPDZ support bidirectional current flow?

No - it is a unidirectional Schottky rectifier. Current flows only from anode (Pins 1 and 2) to cathode (Pin 3). Reverse conduction is blocked up to 45 V, and reverse leakage remains below 600 µA at rated VR and 25 °C, per datasheet Table 1 and Table 10.

How does the dual-anode configuration affect PCB layout?

The dual-anode (Pins 1 and 2) design reduces effective series resistance and improves current sharing. Layout requires symmetric copper traces to both pins, with equal trace length and width. The cathode (Pin 3) must be connected to a large thermal pad (≥1 cm²) per datasheet footnote [2] to achieve specified R_th(j-sp) = 3 K/W.

Is reflow soldering profile information available for CFP15 package?

Yes - Nexperia provides a dedicated reflow footprint (Fig. 18) and profile guidance in Section 13. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, with ramp rates ≤3 °C/s pre- and post-peak. The cathode tab requires full-surface solder coverage to ensure mechanical integrity and thermal performance.
