Product details
Overview
PMEG2015EPK 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 1.5 A average forward current at ≤420 mV forward voltage (IF = 1.5 A), supports 20 V reverse voltage, exhibits 5 ns reverse recovery time, and is packaged in ultra-small leadless DFN1608D-2 (SOD1608) format for space-constrained mobile power rails.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG2015EPK datasheet, PMEG2015EPK pinout, PMEG2015EPK application, or PMEG2015EPK equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF optimization for battery-powered efficiency, side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI), thermal performance on FR4 vs. ceramic PCBs, and compatibility with reflow-only soldering processes.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a planar silicon structure with an integrated guard ring to suppress edge breakdown and improve reliability under transient stress. Its ultra-low VF (375–420 mV @ 1.5 A) stems from optimized metal-semiconductor interface engineering, enabling minimal conduction loss in portable DC/DC stages.
The device operates with negligible minority-carrier storage, resulting in near-zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and trr ≤ 5 ns - critical for high-frequency switching (>1 MHz) in buck converters and LED backlight drivers where switching losses dominate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VF @ 1.5 A | 375–420 mV - Enables ≥95% efficiency in 3.3 V → 1.8 V buck stages at full load |
| VR | 20 V - Supports input rails up to 18 V with 10% margin for automotive transients |
| IF(AV) | 1.5 A - Sustains continuous output current in compact 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm footprint |
| trr | ≤5 ns - Eliminates switching node ringing and EMI in >2 MHz converters |
| IR @ 10 V | 70–350 µA - Limits standby leakage in always-on battery circuits (e.g., RTC backup) |
| Rth(j-sp) | 20 K/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to copper pour via cathode-side wettable flank |
| Package | DFN1608D-2 (SOD1608), 0.94 mm pitch, 0.37 mm height - Fits 0402-class board area with enhanced thermal & AOI capability |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a leadless ultra-small DFN1608D-2 (SOD1608) package with visible, solderable side pads (wettable flanks) for automated optical inspection and thermal relief. Body dimensions: 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.37 mm; pitch: 0.94 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Main current exit path; large-area side pad enables low-inductance layout and thermal conduction to PCB copper |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Current entry point; smaller side pad optimized for routing density in tight layouts |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated guard ring | Suppresses edge electric field concentration, improving VR consistency and long-term reliability under thermal cycling |
| Solderable side pads | Enables 100% AOI coverage and robust solder joint formation without X-ray inspection |
| Ultra-low profile (0.37 mm) | Permits stacking under thin-film shields or beneath connectors in slim mobile designs |
| Reflow-only soldering | Eliminates wave soldering risk of solder bridging and voiding in fine-pitch DFN packages |
| Low Cd (40–50 pF @ 10 V) | Minimizes capacitive loading on high-speed switching nodes, preserving gate drive integrity |
Applications
| Mobile LED Backlight Driver | USB-C Power Path Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RB050M-30 | Higher VF (450 mV @ 1.5 A), larger SOD-123FL package (3.5 mm × 1.6 mm), no side-wettable flanks | Lacks AOI support and thermal performance on FR4; suited for non-AOI production or less space-constrained boards | Select when board real estate is not constrained and optical inspection is not required. |
| SS12 | Higher VR (25 V), higher IR (500 µA @ 10 V), DO-214AC package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm), no integrated guard ring | Lower leakage sensitivity limits use in ultra-low-power IoT sleep modes; larger footprint increases parasitic inductance | Select only if 25 V VR margin is mandatory and thermal/AOI requirements are secondary. |
Compared with RB050M-30 and SS12, PMEG2015EPK provides superior space efficiency (65% smaller footprint), lower conduction loss (−45 mV VF), and manufacturability advantages (side-wettable flanks, 0.37 mm height), making it optimal for next-gen portable and wearable power designs.

FAQ
Is PMEG2015EPK qualified for automotive applications?
No. Per Nexperia's revision history (v.3, 20230930), PMEG2015EPK is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified. It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade process controls, and extended temperature validation. For automotive use, Nexperia recommends its -Q qualified equivalents such as PMEG2015EPK-Q.
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature during reflow?
The absolute maximum solder point temperature is 140 °C, as specified in Table 5 for Tsp (solder point temperature) under IF(AV) derating conditions. Exceeding this risks intermetallic degradation at the cathode pad interface and compromises long-term thermal reliability.
Can PMEG2015EPK be used in place of a standard 1N5819 diode?
Yes, but with design adjustments: PMEG2015EPK offers lower VF (420 mV vs. ~450–600 mV) and faster trr (5 ns vs. ~35 ns), yet requires reflow-only soldering and has no leads for through-hole prototyping. Its 20 V VR matches 1N5819, but its 1.5 A IF(AV) is lower than 1N5819's 1 A average rating - verify thermal margins on target PCB.
Does the marking "1100" correspond to PMEG2015EPK per Nexperia's binary code system?
Yes. According to Table 4 and Figure 1 in the datasheet, "1100" is the official binary marking code for PMEG2015EPK on the device top surface, with the cathode bar adjacent to Pin 1 (K). This code is verified in production and used for traceability and counterfeit detection.
