Nexperia USA Inc. PMEG060V100EPEZ

Overview

PMEG060V100EPE from Nexperia is a 60 V, 10 A planar low forward voltage Schottky barrier rectifier in a CFP15B (SOT1289B) thermally enhanced SMD package, designed for high-efficiency DC-to-DC conversion and freewheeling in compact power supplies. It delivers VF = 500–560 mV at 10 A and 25 °C, IR ≤ 700 µA at 60 V, and supports IFSM = 280 A non-repetitive surge current.

For engineers reviewing the PMEG060V100EPE datasheet, PMEG060V100EPE pinout, PMEG060V100EPE application, or PMEG060V100EPE equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low VF for minimal conduction loss, clip-bonded thermal performance enabling 10 A continuous operation on standard FR4, and dual-anode configuration optimized for high-current PCB layout and OR-ing redundancy schemes.

Technical Context

This Schottky rectifier uses a planar junction structure with metal-silicon barrier optimization to achieve sub-560 mV forward voltage at rated current while maintaining reverse breakdown ≥60 V. Its low Qrr (<100 nC typical) and trr <27 ns (step recovery) minimize switching losses in high-frequency SMPS topologies.

The CFP15B package integrates a large cathode thermal pad and clip-bonded anodes to reduce Rth(j-sp) to 3 K/W - critical for sustaining 10 A average current with Tj ≤ 175 °C under δ = 0.5 square-wave excitation and Tsp ≤ 174 °C.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature and how is it enforced?

The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, validated per IEC 60134 limiting values. Operation at this limit requires Tsp ≤ 174 °C and δ = 0.5 square-wave excitation. Thermal design must ensure Rth(j-sp) ≤ 3 K/W to the PCB solder point using the cathode pad, with no additional heatsink.

Can PMEG060V100EPE replace a standard 10 A through-hole Schottky in an existing design?

No direct drop-in replacement is possible due to its CFP15B SMD footprint and dual-anode layout. Board redesign is required to accommodate the 5.8 × 4.3 mm outline, 2.13 mm pitch, and thermal pad. However, its 3 K/W Rth(j-sp) and 500 mV VF often enable smaller total solution size and better thermal margin than TO-220 or TO-277 alternatives.

How does the dual-anode configuration affect PCB layout and current sharing?

Pins 1 and 2 are internally shorted anodes - they must be routed with equal-length, symmetric copper traces to ensure balanced current division and avoid localized heating. Unequal trace inductance may cause >10% current imbalance at >500 kHz switching frequencies, degrading thermal performance.

Is PMEG060V100EPE suitable for automotive applications?

No - this device is not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks automotive-specific validation. The datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" and prohibits use in safety-critical or life-support systems. For automotive 48 V systems, Nexperia offers AEC-Q101 variants such as PMEG060V100EPAX.
