Product details
Overview
PMEG4005AEAZ from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier with integrated guard ring for stress protection, rated at 40 V reverse voltage and 0.5 A continuous forward current, featuring a typical forward voltage of 420 mV at 500 mA and reverse leakage as low as 30 µA at 40 V - deployed in low-voltage DC/DC converters and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG4005AEAZ datasheet, PMEG4005AEAZ pinout, PMEG4005AEAZ application, or PMEG4005AEAZ equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low VF performance, SOD323 package thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 210 K/W), surge current capability (IFSM = 10 A), and cathode-marked anode-cathode polarity alignment in space-constrained power rails.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a planar die structure with an integrated guard ring to suppress edge breakdown under high electric field stress, enabling stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. Its low-barrier metal-semiconductor junction delivers fast switching (no minority carrier storage) and minimal reverse recovery charge.
The device operates without reverse recovery time (trr ≈ 0 ns) due to majority-carrier conduction, making it suitable for high-frequency rectification where switching losses must be minimized. Thermal performance is defined relative to solder-point (Rth(j-sp) = 210 K/W) and ambient (Rth(j-a) = 450 K/W) on standard FR4 PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche breakdown; sets upper limit for input rail clamping or flyback snubbing. |
| Forward Current (IF) | 0.5 A continuous - Sustained DC current handling capacity; defines usable load range in point-of-load regulators. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 420 mV typ. @ 500 mA - Directly reduces conduction loss in low-VIN paths; enables >95% efficiency in 3.3 V → 1.8 V buck stages. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 30 µA max. @ 40 V - Low standby power penalty in always-on battery-backed circuits or voltage clamp hold-off. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 43 pF typ. @ 1 V - Limits high-frequency noise coupling and EMI in switching node routing near IC pins. |
| Junction-to-Solder Thermal Resistance | 210 K/W - Enables direct thermal path to PCB copper; supports 0.5 A operation without heatsink on 1 cm² cathode pad. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm with 1.3 mm lead pitch; marking bar denotes cathode terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to higher-potential node in reverse-biased clamping; carries full forward current return path; marked side of package. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to lower-potential node during conduction; serves as input for polarity protection or output for freewheeling paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very low forward voltage | VF = 420 mV @ 500 mA - Reduces power dissipation by >40% vs. comparable 0.5 A Si diodes in 3.3 V systems. |
| Integrated guard ring | Edge termination structure - Prevents premature voltage breakdown at die periphery under mechanical or thermal stress. |
| High surge current rating | IFSM = 10 A (8 ms) - Withstands inrush and transient overloads in USB-powered or hot-swap circuits. |
| Small SMD footprint | SOD323 package (1.7 × 1.25 mm) - Fits dense layouts in wearables and IoT sensors where board area is constrained to <2 mm² per diode. |
Applications
| USB Power Input Protection | DC/DC Converter Output Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Preventing damage from reversed USB cable insertion in portable chargers and peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current gate placed between VBUS and system input rail. Use Value: 40 V rating covers USB PD 3.0 transients; 420 mV VF limits voltage drop to <2% at 500 mA, preserving regulation margin. |
Use Scenario: Synchronous rectifier replacement in 1 MHz buck converters powering FPGA I/O banks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path during high-side FET off-time; zero-recovery behavior eliminates switching loss spikes. Use Value: 43 pF capacitance minimizes ringing at 1 MHz; 210 K/W Rth(j-sp) allows sustained 0.5 A without derating on 4-layer boards. |
| Inverse Polarity Clamp for Sensors | Low-Power Rail Clamping |
Use Scenario: Protecting analog front-end inputs of industrial temperature sensors exposed to field wiring errors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased shunt clamp limiting input to −0.42 V during −5 V misconnection. Use Value: 30 µA leakage at 40 V ensures <1 µW standby drain; guard ring prevents latch-up under ESD stress. |
Use Scenario: Clamping 3.3 V logic rail against 5 V backfeed from auxiliary modules in smart meters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forward-conducting clamp activated when auxiliary rail exceeds main rail by >420 mV. Use Value: Precise 420 mV turn-on threshold enables clean rail isolation without resistive divider overhead or active circuitry. |
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 NSS40003MX | Same 40 V / 0.5 A rating but VF = 450 mV typ. @ 500 mA; Rth(j-a) = 470 K/W. | Higher conduction loss and worse thermal dissipation; less suitable for 0.5 A continuous in compact enclosures. | Select only if NSS40003MX is already qualified in legacy BOM and layout cannot accommodate thermal pad rework. |
| Vishay VS-40CPH05-M3 | TO-220AC package; 40 V / 5 A rating; VF = 490 mV @ 5 A - not scaled to 0.5 A operation. | Requires 10× board area; intended for high-current industrial supplies, not space-limited consumer electronics. | Use only when system-level surge requirements exceed 10 A or ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C with forced airflow. |
Compared with NSS40003MX and VS-40CPH05-M3, PMEG4005AEAZ provides optimal balance of ultra-low VF, SOD323 size, and validated 10 A surge robustness - making it the preferred choice for miniaturized 0.5 A rectification where thermal and layout constraints dominate.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for PMEG4005AEAZ?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, as defined in IEC 60134 limiting values. Operation at this temperature requires strict thermal design - including use of the recommended 1 cm² cathode solder pad - and derating of forward current above 125 °C ambient per the thermal resistance curves in the datasheet.
Can PMEG4005AEAZ replace a standard silicon diode in a 3.3 V linear regulator output?
Yes - its 420 mV forward voltage reduces dropout by ~600 mV versus a typical 1 V Si diode, improving regulation headroom. However, reverse leakage (up to 100 µA at 40 V) is higher than silicon, so verify standby current impact in always-on applications before substitution.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies compatibility with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles. The recommended footprint (Fig. 5) uses 0.5 mm × 0.6 mm solder lands with 0.6 mm spacing; peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds to avoid package delamination or marking degradation.
Does PMEG4005AEAZ have automotive qualification?
No - this device is not AEC-Q101 qualified and is designated for industrial and consumer applications only. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification in the legal disclaimers; for automotive use, select the AEC-Q101 qualified PMEG4005AEX version instead.
