Nexperia USA Inc. PMEG060T040CLPE-QZ

Overview

PMEG060T040CLPE-QZ from Nexperia is a dual common-cathode Trench Schottky barrier rectifier optimized for automotive-grade low-leakage, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion and reverse polarity protection. It delivers 2 A per diode at 60 V reverse voltage, with typ. 555 mV forward voltage at 2 A/25 °C and ultra-low reverse current (0.18 µA typ. at 60 V/25 °C), housed in a thermally enhanced CFP15B (SOT1289B) package.

For engineers reviewing the PMEG060T040CLPE-QZ datasheet, PMEG060T040CLPE-QZ pinout, PMEG060T040CLPE-QZ application, or PMEG060T040CLPE-QZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, clip-bond thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 7 K/W), dual-diode common-cathode topology for compact power routing, and low VF/low IR trade-off across -40 °C to 125 °C junction temperature range.

Technical Context

This device integrates two independent Schottky diodes sharing a single cathode terminal, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-rail freewheeling in space-constrained automotive modules. Its Trench Schottky architecture achieves lower leakage than planar Schottkys while maintaining fast recovery (trr ≤ 12 ns) and minimal capacitance (Cd = 120 pF at 10 V).

The CFP15B package uses copper-clip bonding to reduce thermal resistance and enhance power cycling reliability. Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance is 7 K/W when mounted on a 1 cm² cathode pad - critical for sustained 2 A operation in ambient temperatures up to 100 °C without derating.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode at 100 °C ambient temperature?

At 100 °C ambient temperature with a 1 cm² cathode mounting pad, the PMEG060T040CLPE-QZ supports 1.8 A average forward current per diode (δ = 0.5, f = 20 kHz), as confirmed by Figure 9 in the datasheet. This rating assumes FR4 PCB with single-sided copper and tin plating, and accounts for thermal derating due to reduced Rth(j-a) at elevated temperatures.

Does this device require a heatsink for 2 A operation?

No external heatsink is required for 2 A per diode operation when the common cathode is soldered to a 1 cm² copper pad on FR4 PCB, as its Rth(j-sp) is only 7 K/W. At 2 A and 25 °C ambient, junction temperature rise is approximately 7 K/W × (555 mV × 2 A) ≈ 7.8 °C - well within the 175 °C absolute maximum rating.

How does the common-cathode configuration affect PCB layout compared to two discrete SOD-123 diodes?

The common-cathode configuration reduces component count by one, eliminates a separate cathode trace, and lowers total loop inductance by ~30% versus two discrete diodes. The CFP15B footprint (5.8 × 4.3 mm) occupies 25% less area than two SOD-123 devices with spacing, while enabling tighter coupling between anode nodes in synchronous rectifier designs.

Is the marking code '060T L04C' sufficient to identify this exact variant?

Yes - '060T L04C' is the unique top-side marking for PMEG060T040CLPE-QZ per Table 4 of the datasheet. '060T' denotes 60 V/2 A dual Schottky, 'L04C' identifies the CFP15B package and Q-grade automotive qualification. No other Nexperia part shares this exact marking combination.
