Nexperia USA Inc. PMEG100T120ELPEZ

Overview

PMEG100T120ELPE from Nexperia is a trench Schottky barrier rectifier in CFP15B (SOT1289B) package, rated for 100 V reverse voltage, 12 A average forward current, and 740–840 mV forward voltage at 12 A and 25 °C. It delivers ultra-low leakage current (1.1–6 µA at 100 V/25 °C), low Qrr (14 nC), and high thermal robustness (Tj = 175 °C), enabling use in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and OR-ing circuits.

For engineers reviewing the PMEG100T120ELPE datasheet, PMEG100T120ELPE pinout, PMEG100T120ELPE application, or PMEG100T120ELPE equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse leakage stability at 125 °C, junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance (70 K/W), clip-bonded power handling, and dual-anode cathode-terminal configuration for parallel-current routing.

Technical Context

This device employs trench Schottky architecture to minimize forward voltage while suppressing reverse recovery charge-Qrr is only 14 nC under dIF/dt = 200 A/µs, IF = 6 A, VR = 26 V, Tj = 25 °C. Its dual-anode (pins 1 & 2) and single-cathode (pin 3) layout supports high-current conduction with reduced trace inductance in compact SMD layouts.

The CFP15B package uses clip-bonding technology to achieve 2.15 W total power dissipation on a 1 cm² cathode pad, with Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W and Rth(j-a) = 90 K/W on standard FR4. Reverse leakage remains tightly bounded: ≤6 µA at 100 V/25 °C and ≤6 mA at 100 V/125 °C-critical for standby-loss-sensitive LED drivers and telecom OR-ing rails.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature for reliable operation?

The device supports continuous operation with solder point temperature (Tsp) up to 156 °C at δ = 0.5 duty cycle and 150 °C at DC (δ = 1). Derating curves in Figure 10 confirm 12 A IF(AV) is sustainable at Tsp = 150 °C with 1 cm² cathode pad-exceeding JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow peak limits.

Can PMEG100T120ELPE replace a standard SMC/SMA Schottky in existing layouts?

No-it uses CFP15B (SOT1289B), a 3-lead, 2.13 mm pitch, 5.8 × 4.3 mm footprint incompatible with SMC (DO-214AB) or SMA (DO-214AC). The thermal pad and dual-anode layout require dedicated land pattern per Figure 19; mechanical replacement without PCB revision is not feasible.

How does its reverse recovery performance compare to conventional fast recovery diodes?

As a Schottky, it exhibits no minority-carrier storage-trr is 28 ns (step) and 14 ns (ramp), with Qrr = 14 nC. This eliminates reverse recovery spikes and EMI seen in PN diodes (e.g., 100 ns trr, >100 nC Qrr), enabling cleaner switching in >300 kHz converters without snubbers.

Is this device qualified for automotive applications?

No-this part is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" and excludes life-critical or safety-critical use. For automotive 12 V/48 V systems, Nexperia offers separate AEC-Q101-certified variants like PMEG100T120ELPX.
