Product details
Overview
PMEG2010BER from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier with integrated guard ring for stress protection, designed for low-voltage, high-efficiency DC-to-DC conversion and reverse polarity protection. It delivers 1 A average forward current at ≤20 V reverse voltage, with typical forward voltage of 395 mV at 1 A and 25 °C, and ultra-low reverse leakage (8 µA at 20 V, 25 °C), housed in a compact SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount package.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG2010BER datasheet, PMEG2010BER pinout, PMEG2010BER application, or PMEG2010BER equivalent, this device is selected for space-constrained power rails requiring minimal conduction loss, thermal robustness on FR4 PCBs, and reliable transient surge handling in portable and industrial SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses planar die construction with an integrated guard ring to suppress edge breakdown and improve reliability under repetitive voltage stress. Its clip-bond packaging enhances thermal transfer and power capability versus wire-bonded equivalents.
The device operates with junction temperatures up to 150 °C and exhibits low thermal resistance - 70 K/W (junction-to-solder point) on ceramic PCB and 130–220 K/W (junction-to-ambient) depending on PCB layout and copper area - enabling stable performance in thermally demanding environments without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 20 V - Maximum blocking capability without avalanche or degradation; suitable for 12 V rail protection and 5–15 V DC-DC outputs. |
| Average Forward Current (IF(AV)) | 1 A - Sustained DC or pulsed current handling at Tsp ≤ 140 °C on standard FR4 footprint. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 395 mV typ. @ 1 A, 25 °C - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-efficiency buck converters. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 8 µA max. @ 20 V, 25 °C - Low leakage preserves battery life in always-on low-power systems. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 65 pF @ 10 V, 1 MHz - Enables fast switching with minimal ringing in high-frequency (>1 MHz) SMPS topologies. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - Allows operation in sealed enclosures or near heat sources without derating below ambient 125 °C. |
| Thermal Resistance Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W - Direct thermal path from die to cathode solder point enables efficient heat extraction via PCB copper pour. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in the SOD123W (CFP3) plastic surface-mount package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat lead profile optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance on PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (marked side) | Cathode (K) | Negative output terminal; marked by bar; connects to load ground or return path; primary thermal interface via cathode tab. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Positive input terminal; connects to input rail or switch node; carries forward current into load during conduction phase. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated guard ring | Suppresses edge electric field concentration, improving long-term reliability under repeated VR stress and temperature cycling. |
| Clip-bond interconnect | Reduces bond wire inductance and increases current-carrying cross-section, supporting 50 A non-repetitive peak surge (tp = 8.3 ms). |
| SOD123W package | Enables <1.0 mm profile height and 2.6 mm length - ideal for ultra-thin consumer electronics and dense power modules. |
| Low VF across temperature | VF remains ≤450 mV at 1 A up to 125 °C junction, ensuring consistent efficiency in thermally stressed operation. |
Applications
| USB Power Delivery Protection | Point-of-Load DC-DC Output Rectification |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Preventing reverse current flow from downstream USB-C ports back into upstream power sources during hot-plug events. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional blocking diode placed between source and sink rails. Use Value: 395 mV VF minimizes voltage drop and power loss, preserving regulated 5 V/9 V/15 V/20 V PD profiles under full 1 A load. |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in synchronous-buck-derived isolated or non-isolated POL converters powering FPGAs or microcontrollers. IC Role / Device Role: Freewheeling diode in asynchronous buck or OR-ing function in redundant supply paths. Use Value: 65 pF capacitance and fast recovery enable clean switching at >500 kHz, reducing EMI and output ripple. |
| Industrial Sensor Node Power Rail | Reverse Polarity Protection for Battery-Powered Devices |
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 3.3 V or 5 V sensor supply rails in factory-floor IoT nodes exposed to intermittent wiring faults. IC Role / Device Role: Input protection diode before LDO or DC-DC regulator. Use Value: 8 µA max IR at 20 V ensures <2.5 µW standby loss - critical for multi-year battery life in wireless sensors. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding rechargeable Li-ion or alkaline-powered handheld tools and meters against accidental battery reversal. IC Role / Device Role: Series protection element in main power path. Use Value: 1 A IF(AV) rating supports peak motor startup currents while 20 V VR covers full battery stack voltage (e.g., 4×AA = 6 V, 3×Li-ion = 12.6 V). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS10100HT1G | Same 20 V VR, 1 A IF(AV), but VF = 470 mV typ. @ 1 A; SOD-123 package (slightly larger footprint, no clip-bond). | Higher conduction loss reduces efficiency in high-duty-cycle DC-DC; less suitable for thermally constrained layouts. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs VF and thermal performance requirements. |
| Vishay SS12 | 20 V VR, 2 A IF(AV), VF = 500 mV typ. @ 1 A; DO-214AC (SMA) package - 4.5×2.7 mm, significantly larger and taller. | Higher current rating unnecessary for 1 A use cases; larger footprint consumes board area and increases parasitic inductance. | Select only if legacy SMA footprint compatibility or higher surge margin (IFSM = 50 A) is mandatory. |
Compared with NSS10100HT1G and SS12, PMEG2010BER provides the lowest VF and smallest thermal resistance in the smallest footprint - making it optimal for modern miniaturized, high-efficiency power designs where board space and thermal headroom are constrained.

FAQ
Is PMEG2010BER qualified for automotive applications?
No. Per Nexperia's revision history (v.3, Jan 2023), PMEG2010BER is explicitly non-automotive qualified. It lacks AEC-Q101 stress testing and automotive-grade process controls. For automotive use, Nexperia offers the -Q qualified variant PMEG2010BER-Q, which undergoes extended temperature cycling, HTOL, and ESD validation per AEC standards.
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature during reflow?
The maximum solder point temperature is not specified as a standalone limit, but the device is rated for Tj ≤ 150 °C and Tsp ≤ 140 °C under continuous operation. Reflow profiles must comply with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature ≤ 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds - verified for CFP3 (SOD123W) per Nexperia's footprint documentation (sod123w_fr, issue date 20-02-28).
Can PMEG2010BER replace a standard silicon PN diode in a 12 V SMPS?
Yes - with significant efficiency gains. At 1 A, its 395 mV VF reduces conduction loss by ~65% versus a typical 1N4007 (VF ≈ 1.1 V). However, ensure the design accounts for higher IR (8 µA vs. <1 µA for silicon) and lower VR margin (20 V vs. 1000 V), making it suitable only for low-voltage, well-clamped topologies.
How does the guard ring affect layout or PCB design?
The guard ring is internal to the die and requires no special PCB layout. However, maintaining recommended solder land dimensions (1.2 mm × 1.4 mm per pad, 0.1 mm stencil thickness) ensures full cathode tab contact and optimal thermal transfer - critical to realizing the stated Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W performance.
