Product details
Overview
PMEG10020ELXE-QX from Nexperia is a 100 V, 2 A planar Schottky barrier rectifier in CFP3-HP (SOD123HP) package, designed for high-efficiency DC-to-DC conversion and automotive-grade freewheeling. It delivers 780 mV typical forward voltage at 2 A and 25 °C, exhibits only 30 nA reverse leakage at 100 V/25 °C, and supports 50 A non-repetitive surge current - enabling robust operation in SMPS output stages and reverse polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG10020ELXE-QX datasheet, PMEG10020ELXE-QX pinout, PMEG10020ELXE-QX application, or PMEG10020ELXE-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ultra-low IR at elevated temperature (60 µA @ 125 °C), clip-bond thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 6 K/W), and SOD123HP footprint compatibility with high-density automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar metal–semiconductor junction architecture optimized for low VF and minimal reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 13 nC). Its clip-bond construction directly connects the cathode to an exposed heatsink pad, enabling efficient heat transfer from junction to solder point.
The device operates across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and maintains stable reverse blocking up to 100 V at 25 °C, derating to ~75 V at 125 °C per thermal models. Its 4 ns step-recovery trr and 14 ns ramp-recovery trr support high-frequency switching in synchronous rectification and OR-ing applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 100 V - Maximum DC blocking capability at 25 °C; enables use in 48 V automotive bus and 24 V industrial SMPS input stages. |
| IF(AV) (Avg. Forward Current) | 2 A - Sustained conduction rating under 50 % duty cycle, 20 kHz square wave, with solder point ≤165 °C. |
| VF (Forward Voltage) | 780 mV typ. @ 2 A, 25 °C - Reduces conduction loss by ~30 % vs. standard silicon diodes, improving system efficiency. |
| IR (Reverse Current) | 30 nA typ. @ 100 V, 25 °C - Enables low standby power in battery-backed systems and precision voltage clamping. |
| Rth(j-sp) (Junction-to-Solder Point) | 6 K/W - Direct thermal path via cathode clip allows >80 % of heat to exit through PCB copper, critical for compact automotive modules. |
| trr (Reverse Recovery Time) | 4 ns (step) / 14 ns (ramp) - Minimizes switching loss and EMI in high-frequency (>500 kHz) converters. |
| Qrr (Reverse Recovery Charge) | 13 nC - Low stored charge reduces turn-off losses and stress on synchronous MOSFETs in buck converters. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in CFP3-HP (SOD123HP): 2.80 mm × 1.80 mm × 0.90 mm body, surface-mounted plastic package with exposed cathode heatsink pad and standard FR4-compatible footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Main current sink terminal; electrically and thermally connected to exposed copper pad for low-inductance, high-current return path and thermal dissipation. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Current source terminal; routed to switch node or input rail; requires controlled trace width to limit voltage overshoot during fast switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 780 mV typ. @ 2 A ensures <0.6 W conduction loss at full load, reducing thermal burden in sealed enclosures. |
| Extremely low leakage current | 30 nA @ 100 V/25 °C enables reliable operation in battery-critical systems where microamp-level drain must be avoided. |
| High surge current robustness | 50 A IFSM (8.3 ms half-sine) withstands inrush and fault transients in automotive 12 V/24 V supply rails without degradation. |
| Clip bond thermal design | Rth(j-sp) = 6 K/W provides 3× better thermal coupling than wire-bonded SOD123, supporting higher power density in space-constrained modules. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use per stress test standard - includes HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and ESD testing - ensuring reliability in engine control and ADAS subsystems. |
Applications
| High-Efficiency DC-DC Conversion | Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-100A10-M3/57T | Same 100 V/2 A rating but TO-277 package (larger, wire-bonded); Rth(j-a) = 75 K/W vs. 6 K/W (j-sp) for PMEG10020ELXE-QX. | Requires larger PCB area and lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; suitable for industrial, not automotive. | Select when legacy TO-277 footprint is fixed and thermal budget permits higher junction rise. |
| ON Semiconductor NSR10F100MX | 100 V/1.5 A; VF = 820 mV @ 1.5 A; IR = 50 nA @ 100 V/25 °C; SOD123 package (no exposed pad). | Limited surge rating (30 A IFSM); no clip bond - Rth(j-sp) not specified; lower current handling. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, non-automotive 12 V SMPS where 0.5 A margin is acceptable and thermal constraints are relaxed. |
Compared with VS-100A10-M3/57T and NSR10F100MX, PMEG10020ELXE-QX uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, SOD123HP size, clip-bond thermal performance, and sub-100 nA leakage - making it the only choice for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive DC-DC stages requiring zero standby drain.

FAQ
Is PMEG10020ELXE-QX suitable for synchronous rectification replacement?
No - it is a passive Schottky rectifier, not a synchronous MOSFET driver or integrated controller. However, its 4 ns trr and 13 nC Qrr make it an optimal *asynchronous* replacement where gate drive complexity must be avoided, such as in low-cost flyback or forward converters with fixed-frequency operation below 1 MHz.
What is the maximum ambient temperature for continuous 2 A operation?
On a standard FR4 PCB (single-sided copper, tin-plated, standard footprint), PMEG10020ELXE-QX supports 2 A average forward current up to 85 °C ambient (δ = 0.5, f = 20 kHz), per Figure 8. With a 1 cm² cathode mounting pad, this extends to 100 °C ambient, verified by thermal derating curves in the datasheet.
Does the marking 'AN' correspond to the full part number?
Yes - per Table 4, 'AN' is the official top-side marking for PMEG10020ELXE-QX. The bar on the package body aligns with Pin 1 (cathode), confirming polarity during automated optical inspection and manual placement verification.
How does the CFP3-HP package improve thermal performance over standard SOD123?
CFP3-HP integrates a copper clip that bonds directly to the die cathode and extends as an exposed pad - reducing Rth(j-sp) to 6 K/W versus ~30–40 K/W in standard wire-bonded SOD123. This allows >85 % of heat to exit via the PCB copper, lowering junction temperature by up to 45 °C at 2 A continuous load.
