Nexperia USA Inc. PMEG100V100ELPEZ

Overview

PMEG100V100ELPEZ from Nexperia is a 100 V, 10 A low-leakage Schottky barrier rectifier in CFP15B (SOT1289B) package, designed for high-efficiency freewheeling and reverse polarity protection in DC/DC converters and LED drivers. It delivers 770 mV typical forward voltage at 10 A and 0.2 µA typical reverse leakage at 100 V and 25 °C, enabling reduced conduction loss and thermal stress in compact power stages.

For engineers reviewing the PMEG100V100ELPEZ datasheet, PMEG100V100ELPEZ pinout, PMEG100V100ELPEZ application, or PMEG100V100ELPEZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low IR at elevated temperature (0.4–2.5 mA at 125 °C), clip-bonded thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W), and validated suitability for OR-ing and high-frequency SMPS freewheeling paths.

Technical Context

This Schottky rectifier uses platinum-silicide barrier technology to achieve low VF and minimal reverse recovery (trr = 11 ns), eliminating minority-carrier storage delay. Its dual-anode configuration (Pins 1 & 2) and single cathode (Pin 3) support high-current parallel conduction while maintaining low thermal resistance via direct copper clip bonding to the die and cathode tab.

The device operates up to 175 °C junction temperature with derated VR down to 40 V at 150 °C (per Fig. 11–13), and exhibits stable capacitance (115 pF at 10 V) and low VFRM (510 mV) under fast dI/dt conditions-critical for synchronous rectifier replacement and noise-sensitive buck converter outputs.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

Encapsulated in the thermally optimized CFP15B (SOT1289B) package, this Schottky rectifier features a copper clip-bonded construction with exposed cathode thermal pad and flat leads for low-inductance, high-current routing on standard FR4 PCBs.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for PMEG100V100ELPEZ?

The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, verified per IEC 60134 limiting values. Derating curves (Figs. 11–13) show that reverse voltage must be reduced to 40 V at 150 °C junction temperature when mounted on standard FR4 with 1 cm² cathode pad. Operation above 175 °C causes permanent degradation.

Does PMEG100V100ELPEZ have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?

Yes-trr is 11 ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 0.5 A, and IR(meas) = 0.1 A at Tj = 25 °C (Table 7). As a Schottky barrier rectifier, it exhibits no minority-carrier storage, resulting in near-zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and minimal switching loss in high-frequency topologies.

Can PMEG100V100ELPEZ be used in automotive applications?

No-this part is not AEC-Q101 qualified and is explicitly designated as non-automotive in Nexperia's legal disclaimers. It lacks automotive-grade qualification testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock. Use only in industrial, commercial, or consumer applications unless independently validated per ISO/TS 16949 requirements.

What is the recommended PCB footprint for reflow soldering of PMEG100V100ELPEZ?

The official CFP15B (SOT1289B) reflow footprint specifies a 0.125 mm stencil thickness, 4.86 mm × 1.80 mm solder land for the cathode tab, and 0.75 mm × 0.40 mm lands for Pins 1 and 2 (Fig. 19). Thermal relief vias under the cathode pad are strongly advised to maintain Rth(j-sp) ≤ 70 K/W in production assemblies.
