Nexperia USA Inc. PMEG100V080ELPE-QZ

Overview

PMEG100V080ELPE-QZ from Nexperia is a 100 V, 8 A low-leakage Schottky barrier rectifier in CFP15B (SOT1289B) package, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion and automotive LED lighting. It delivers 770–850 mV forward voltage at 8 A/25 °C, 0.14–0.5 µA reverse leakage at 100 V/25 °C, and supports 180 A non-repetitive peak forward current - enabling compact, thermally robust freewheeling and OR-ing circuits.

For engineers reviewing the PMEG100V080ELPE-QZ datasheet, PMEG100V080ELPE-QZ pinout, PMEG100V080ELPE-QZ application, or PMEG100V080ELPE-QZ equivalent, key selection criteria include low reverse leakage at 125 °C, thermal resistance to solder point (3 K/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, and dual-anode clip-bonded construction for high power density in automotive-grade SMD designs.

Technical Context

This Schottky rectifier uses platinum-silicide (PtSi) barrier technology to achieve ultra-low reverse leakage while maintaining fast switching with <10 ns reverse recovery time. Its dual-anode configuration (Pins 1 & 2) and single cathode (Pin 3) support high-current parallel conduction paths without external paralleling.

The CFP15B package integrates a thermally enhanced copper clip-bonded structure with an exposed cathode tab, delivering 3 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance - critical for sustaining 8 A average forward current at elevated ambient temperatures in constrained automotive PCB layouts.

FAQ

Is PMEG100V080ELPE-QZ pin-compatible with standard SOT-223 or DPAK Schottky rectifiers?

No. PMEG100V080ELPE-QZ uses the CFP15B (SOT1289B) package with 3 leads and 2.13 mm pitch - incompatible with SOT-223 (2.3 mm pitch, 4 leads) or DPAK (2.54 mm pitch, 3 leads). Its dual-anode layout and exposed cathode tab require dedicated PCB footprint per Figure 19 in the datasheet.

What is the maximum ambient temperature for 8 A continuous operation?

With a 1 cm² cathode mounting pad on FR4 PCB, PMEG100V080ELPE-QZ supports 8 A average forward current up to 85 °C ambient (Fig. 9). At 100 °C ambient, derating to 6 A is required to maintain Tj ≤ 175 °C, based on Rth(j-sp) = 3 K/W and Pdiss ≈ 4.8 W.

Does this device require a snubber circuit in high-frequency switching applications?

No snubber is needed. With 10 ns reverse recovery time and no minority-carrier storage, PMEG100V080ELPE-QZ exhibits clean turn-off waveforms even at 500 kHz. Measured VFRM is only 535 mV under dIF/dt = 20 A/µs conditions, confirming minimal voltage overshoot.

How does the "-QZ" suffix differ from the base "-Q" part number?

The "-QZ" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 rating and extended AEC-Q101 retest compliance per latest revision (v.2, July 2024), including updated reflow footprint specifications - distinguishing it from earlier "-Q" shipments which used prior stencil design guidelines.
