Nexperia USA Inc. PMEG100T100ELPEZ

Overview

PMEG100T100ELPEZ from Nexperia is a 100 V, 10 A trench Schottky barrier rectifier in CFP15B (SOT1289B) package, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion and automotive LED lighting. It delivers low forward voltage (750–810 mV at 10 A, 25 °C), ultra-low reverse leakage (0.85–5 µA at 100 V, 25 °C), and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood reliability.

For engineers reviewing the PMEG100T100ELPEZ datasheet, PMEG100T100ELPEZ pinout, PMEG100T100ELPEZ application, or PMEG100T100ELPEZ equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance (70 K/W), reverse recovery charge (11.5 nC), clip-bonded power capability, and cathode-tab thermal path optimization for high-power SMD rectification.

Technical Context

This device employs trench Schottky architecture to minimize forward voltage and reverse recovery losses while maintaining stable reverse leakage across temperature. Its dual-anode, single-cathode configuration enables high-current conduction with reduced thermal resistance via clip-bonding to the cathode tab.

The CFP15B package integrates a thermally enhanced copper clip for the cathode and flat leads for low-inductance PCB mounting. Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance is specified at 70 K/W when mounted on FR4 with a 1 cm² cathode pad - critical for sustained 10 A average current operation.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature for PMEG100T100ELPEZ during reflow?

The device is rated for a maximum solder point temperature (Tsp) of 162 °C at δ = 0.5 duty cycle, per its limiting values table. For standard reflow profiles, peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, consistent with IPC-J-STD-020 for CFP15B packages. Thermal design must ensure steady-state Tsp remains ≤162 °C under full 10 A load.

Does PMEG100T100ELPEZ support bidirectional current flow?

No - it is a unidirectional Schottky rectifier with anode-to-cathode conduction only. The dual-anode pins (1 and 2) are electrically common and internally shorted; they do not enable reverse conduction. Reverse current is limited to leakage (≤6 mA at 125 °C), and the device is not rated for reverse bias beyond 100 V.

How does the CFP15B package improve thermal performance over standard SOD-123 or TO-277?

The CFP15B uses internal copper clip bonding directly to the cathode die surface, achieving Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W - ~40% lower than typical wire-bonded SOD-123 devices (~120 K/W). This enables higher power density and eliminates thermal bottlenecks in compact automotive modules where PCB copper area is limited.

Is PMEG100T100ELPEZ pin-compatible with earlier revisions like PMEG100T100ELPE?

Yes - PMEG100T100ELPEZ is a Z-variant marking revision of PMEG100T100ELPE, sharing identical CFP15B package outline, pinning, electrical specifications, and thermal characteristics. The 'Z' suffix denotes updated traceability or minor process enhancement; no design-in changes or layout modifications are required.
