Nexperia USA Inc. PMEG100V060ELPE-QZ

Overview

PMEG100V060ELPE-QZ from Nexperia is a 100 V, 6 A low-leakage Schottky barrier rectifier in CFP15B (SOT1289B) package, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion and automotive LED lighting. It delivers VF = 770–840 mV at 6 A/25 °C, IR ≤ 0.45 µA at 100 V/25 °C, and operates up to Tj = 175 °C with AEC-Q101 qualification.

For engineers reviewing the PMEG100V060ELPE-QZ datasheet, PMEG100V060ELPE-QZ pinout, PMEG100V060ELPE-QZ application, or PMEG100V060ELPE-QZ equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse leakage at 125 °C, thermal resistance to solder point (Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W), freewheeling efficiency in 48 V automotive systems, and clip-bonded power handling under pulsed load conditions.

Technical Context

This Schottky rectifier uses platinum-silicide (PtSi) barrier technology to achieve ultra-low reverse leakage while maintaining forward voltage below 840 mV at rated current. Its dual-anode, single-cathode configuration enables parallel anode routing for reduced trace inductance in high-frequency switching nodes.

The CFP15B package integrates a thermally enhanced cathode tab directly bonded to PCB copper, delivering Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W on 1 cm² pad and enabling 6 A continuous conduction at Tamb ≤ 85 °C. The device exhibits trr < 8 ns and VFRM ≤ 565 mV, confirming true Schottky behavior without minority-carrier recovery tail.

FAQ

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

The datasheet specifies Tsp ≤ 170 °C for IF(AV) = 6 A (δ = 0.5, 20 kHz). At Tsp = 169 °C, the device sustains full 6 A average current. Exceeding 170 °C risks irreversible degradation of the PtSi barrier and bond wires. Thermal design must ensure the cathode solder joint remains below this limit under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions.

Can PMEG100V060ELPE-QZ replace older SOD-123 Schottky diodes in existing layouts?

No - the CFP15B (SOT1289B) package has different dimensions (5.8 × 4.3 mm vs. SOD-123's 3.7 × 1.6 mm), pin count (3 pins vs. 2), and thermal pad requirements. Direct replacement would require PCB redesign, including enlarged cathode land pattern (≥1 cm²), dual-anode trace routing, and revalidation of thermal performance and EMI.

How does its reverse leakage compare at 150 °C versus 25 °C?

At VR = 100 V, IR increases from 0.1–0.45 µA at 25 °C to 1–4.5 mA at 150 °C - a ~10,000× rise. This is inherent to Schottky physics and must be accounted for in high-temperature applications: e.g., in engine control units, leakage may dominate standby power budget, requiring active bias control or derating.

Is the dual-anode configuration internally paralleled or independent?

Pins 1 and 2 are shorted together internally at the die level - they are electrically identical anode terminals. The dual-pin structure serves mechanical stability, current distribution across PCB traces, and thermal symmetry; it does not enable independent circuit functions or half-wave rectification.
