Product details
Overview
PMEG4010CPAS-QX from Nexperia is a dual common-cathode Schottky barrier rectifier optimized for low-voltage, high-efficiency power conversion. It delivers 1 A average forward current per diode at ≤500 mV forward voltage (IF = 1 A, Tj = 25 °C), with 40 V reverse voltage rating and AEC-Q101 qualification-used in automotive DC-DC converters, mobile battery chargers, and LED backlighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG4010CPAS-QX datasheet, PMEG4010CPAS-QX pinout, PMEG4010CPAS-QX application, or PMEG4010CPAS-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low VF for thermal efficiency, DFN2020D-3 package thermal performance, common-cathode dual-diode topology for space-constrained buck/flyback outputs, and AEC-Q101 compliance for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This dual Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anodes (A1, A2) sharing a single exposed cathode pad (K) in a planar MEGA structure with guard ring stress protection. Its low VF stems from optimized metal-semiconductor junction design, enabling high conduction efficiency without minority-carrier storage delay.
The device operates with negligible reverse recovery time (trr = 3.5 ns typ.) and low capacitance (Cd = 50 pF at VR = 10 V), making it suitable for high-frequency switching topologies up to several MHz. Thermal performance is enhanced by the solderable side pads and thermally conductive cathode tab, achieving Rth(j-sp) = 12 K/W to the PCB solder point.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VF @ IF = 1 A | 440–500 mV - Enables ≥92% efficiency in 3.3 V/5 V buck converters at full load |
| VR | 40 V - Supports 24 V automotive input rails with 2× safety margin |
| IF(AV) per diode | 1 A - Sustains continuous output current in compact DC-DC modules |
| IR @ VR = 40 V | 12–55 µA - Minimizes standby leakage in battery-powered systems |
| trr | 3.5 ns - Eliminates switching loss penalties in >1 MHz SMPS designs |
| Cd @ VR = 10 V | 50 pF - Reduces high-frequency EMI and gate drive loading in synchronous rectification |
| Rth(j-sp) | 12 K/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to copper pour for <100 °C junction rise at 1 A |

Applications
| Automotive DC-DC Converters | Mobile Battery Charging Circuits |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down conversion from 12 V/24 V battery rail to 3.3 V/5 V for infotainment ECUs and ADAS sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier replacing MOSFETs in high-frequency buck converters.

Use Scenario: USB-C PD input stage rectification and reverse polarity protection in portable power banks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode configuration allows shared cathode output for redundant input paths or dual-port charging. Use Value: 3.5 ns trr prevents shoot-through in 500 kHz–1 MHz charge pump topologies; 55 µA max IR preserves battery shelf life. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RB055LAM-40TR | Single diode, same VF (450 mV), but no common-cathode dual configuration; TO-252 package | Lacks integrated dual-anode functionality-requires two devices and larger PCB area | Select only when discrete layout flexibility outweighs space/thermal advantages of PMEG4010CPAS-QX |
| SS34H | Higher VF (550 mV min), 3 A rating, DO-214AB package; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher thermal mass but no automotive qualification; unsuitable for under-hood use | Acceptable for industrial non-automotive 24 V supplies where qualification is not required |
Compared with RB055LAM-40TR and SS34H, PMEG4010CPAS-QX uniquely combines dual-anode integration, ultra-thin DFN packaging, AEC-Q101 compliance, and sub-450 mV VF-enabling smaller, cooler, and automotive-certified power stages that neither alternative matches holistically.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C. For reliable continuous operation, the device must be mounted on a PCB with adequate copper area-minimum 1 cm² cathode pad on FR4 achieves 960 mW dissipation before reaching this limit. Derating is required above 110 °C ambient per Figure 9 in the datasheet.
Is the PMEG4010CPAS-QX pin-compatible with other DFN2020D-3 Schottky rectifiers?
No-pin compatibility is not guaranteed across manufacturers due to variations in internal die layout and terminal assignment. PMEG4010CPAS-QX uses Pin 1 = A1, Pin 2 = A2, Pin 3 = K. Always verify pinout using the official Nexperia footprint (SOT1061D) and avoid assumptions based on package outline alone.
Does the "-QX" suffix indicate automotive qualification?
Yes-the "-QX" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per Nexperia's part numbering convention. This confirms the device has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life required for automotive under-hood and cabin applications.
Can both diodes operate simultaneously at full 1 A each?
No-while each diode is rated for 1 A average forward current individually, simultaneous full-load operation exceeds the device's total power dissipation limit (1800 mW on ceramic PCB). At 1 A per diode, total power is ~0.88 W minimum (2 × 440 mV), which is within limits-but thermal design must ensure junction temperature stays ≤150 °C under worst-case ambient and mounting conditions.
