2.1 Data sheet parameters
The data sheet gives different parameter values.
2.1.1 Limiting values
VR = maximum reverse voltage
The maximum allowable reverse voltage, without exceeding the given reverse currents.
IF(AV) = maximum average forward current
The maximum allowable forward current, under a specific condition.
IFSM = maximum non-repetitive peak forward current
Single current pulse, from Tj = 25 C before surge. After cooling down to Tj = 25 C,
the next event is allowed.
Ptot = total power dissipation
Maximum total power dissipation at 25 C ambient temperature on different standard NXP
conditions.
Tj = junction temperature
Maximum allowable junction temperature, usually 150 C, for NXP discrete bipolar
products.
Tamb = ambient temperature
Maximum allowable ambient temperature, usually 150 C, for NXP discrete bipolar
products.
Tstg = storage temperature
Maximum allowable storage temperature under MSL1 conditions.
2.1.2 Thermal characteristics
Rth(j-a) = thermal resistance from junction to ambient
Rth(j-a) = Rth(j-sp) + Rth(sp–a)
The Rth(sp-a) value depends on the Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) material and on the
footprint, layout and surrounding environmental conditions. Therefore, in the data sheets
NXP Semiconductors indicates on which substrate the values were measured.
Rth(j-sp) = thermal resistance from junction to solder point
The Rth(j-sp) value is essentially independent of the external component, like PCB,
footprint and solder.
It is sensitive to the die size, the leadframe, the die-bonding method and the mold
compound of the package. The values of Rth(j-sp) are measured from the cathode lead.

2.1.3 Electrical characteristics
VF = forward voltage
Typical values under different forward current conditions.
IR = reverse current
Typical values under different reverse voltage conditions.
Cd = diode capacitance
Typical diode capacitance under different reverse voltage conditions.
3. PMEG FlatPower Schottky barrier rectifier selection criteria
Circuit performance and long-term reliability are affected by the temperature of the die.
Electrical power dissipated in any semiconductor device is a source of heat. This source
increases the temperature of the die above the reference point of 298.15 K | 25 C | 77 F.
3.1 Temperature limits
The increase in temperature depends on the power capability of the device and the
thermal resistance of the complete system (SMD + PCB).
It can be described as follows:
T j  max  – T amb
P tot = ---------------------------------R th  j – a 
(1)
Heat transfer can occur by radiation, conduction and convection.
Surface-Mounted Devices (SMD) loose most of their heat by conduction when mounted
on a substrate. The heat conducts from the junction via the package leads and the
soldering connections to the substrate. Some heat radiates from the package into the
ambient, where it disappears by convection or by active cooling air. The heat from the
substrate disappears in the same way.
The thermal resistance from junction to ambient can be described as follows:
(2)
R th  j – a  = R th  j – sp  + R th  sp – a 
Calculating the maximum power capability, the following temperatures must be taken into
account:
• maximum junction temperature Tj(max)
• maximum solder point temperature Tsp(max)
• ambient temperature Tamb
As an example, the limiting factors of the SOD123W package are shown by the
PMEG3020ER in the following sections.

3.1.1 FR4 PCB, single-sided copper, tin-plated and standard footprint
• maximum junction temperature Tj(max) = 150 C | 423.15 K

• thermal resistance from junction to solder point Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W

To avoid issues, like solder cracks or degradation of the solder, NXP strongly
recommends:

3.1.2 FR4 PCB, single-sided copper, tin-plated and mounting pad for
cathode 1 cm2
• maximum junction temperature Tj(max) = 150 C | 423.15 K
• thermal resistance from junction to ambient Rth(j-a) = 130 K/W
• thermal resistance from junction to solder point Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W

This behavior is shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 of the data sheet PMEG3020ER.
To avoid issues, like solder cracks or degradation of the solder, NXP strongly
recommends:
Tsp(max)  125 C
3.2 Pulse mode
In pulse mode, like in DC-to-DC converter, the thermal resistance from junction to ambient
is a variable.
In order to give hardware designers the opportunity for best performance design,
NXP’s PMEG data sheets provide thermal impedance graphs at different footprint
conditions.

The correct use of the thermal impedance graphics is very important.
In order to show how to use the Zth graph the right way, the IF(AV) value from the

From this, IF(AV) can be calculated with the Equation 11 and the typical VF value taken
from the data sheet:
P tot  max 
1 25W
I M = -------------------- = ------------------- = 3 4A
VF
0 365V
(12)
I F  AV  = I M   = 1 7A
(13)
This result fits with the graphic IF(AV) vs Tamb (see Figure 5).
So thermal and electrical parameters are essential factors for the selection of the right
PMEG Schottky barrier rectifier under considerations.
Changing the package (bigger package size, bigger silicon die, better thermal
performance) fulfill easier the requirements than increasing the cooling pad area.
3.3 Conclusion
The characteristics given in the data sheet, help choosing the right PMEG Schottky barrier
rectifier. The most critical question in hardware design is the maximum allowable
Ptot capability.
Data sheet parameters are a good instrument to compare different products under
standard conditions.
The worst-case scenario of an application can be calculated from the Zth graphs and
Rth(j-a) values. After that the right NXP PMEG Schottky barrier rectifier for design can be
selected.
