Nexperia USA Inc. PMEG060T080CLPEZ

Overview

PMEG060T080CLPE from Nexperia is a dual common-cathode Trench Schottky barrier rectifier optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion and reverse polarity protection, featuring 60 V reverse voltage rating, 4 A average forward current per diode, 580 mV typical forward voltage at 4 A/25 °C, and ultra-low 0.3 µA typical reverse leakage at 60 V/25 °C - deployed in power supplies and battery-powered industrial sensors.

For engineers reviewing the PMEG060T080CLPE datasheet, PMEG060T080CLPE pinout, PMEG060T080CLPE application, or PMEG060T080CLPE equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (7 K/W junction-to-solder-point), clip-bond package construction, dual-diode common-cathode topology, and low VF/IR trade-off across -40 °C to 125 °C operating range.

Technical Context

This device implements Trench Schottky technology to suppress reverse leakage while maintaining low forward voltage drop - critical for minimizing conduction losses in synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths. Its dual-diode configuration shares a single cathode terminal, enabling compact layout in bidirectional or dual-rail power architectures.

The CFP15B (SOT1289B) package uses clip-bond interconnect and a 1 cm² cathode thermal pad, delivering 7 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance - significantly lower than standard SMD Schottky packages - supporting sustained 4 A operation with minimal ambient temperature derating.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

Supplied in CFP15B (SOT1289B), a thermally enhanced flat-lead SMD package with 2.13 mm pin pitch, 5.8 × 4.3 × 0.95 mm body, and exposed cathode tab for low-thermal-resistance PCB mounting.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?

The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, and the device is rated for continuous operation at this limit when mounted on an FR4 PCB with a 1 cm² cathode thermal pad and maintained junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 7 K/W. Derating curves in Figures 11–13 confirm usable reverse voltage down to 40 V at 175 °C junction temperature.

Can PMEG060T080CLPE be used in automotive applications?

No - this part is not AEC-Q200 qualified or automotive grade. The datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" and prohibits use in safety-critical or life-support systems. It is intended for industrial, computing, and consumer power applications where ambient temperatures remain within -55 °C to 175 °C and no automotive qualification is required.

How does the common-cathode configuration affect PCB layout?

The shared cathode (Pin 3) serves as both the electrical return and primary thermal path. Layout must assign Pin 3 to a solid copper pour ≥1 cm² with multiple thermal vias to inner ground planes. Anode pins (1 and 2) may be routed independently, enabling asymmetric current sharing or differential sensing - unlike dual-discrete layouts requiring separate cathode traces and increased loop inductance.

Is the 4 A rating per diode or for the entire package?

The 4 A average forward current rating applies per diode - meaning each anode-to-common-cathode path supports 4 A continuously under specified thermal conditions (δ = 0.5, f = 20 kHz square wave, Tsp ≤ 160 °C). Total package current capacity is 8 A only if both diodes operate simultaneously with balanced loading and adequate thermal management.
