Gate charge and switching — 93 nC at 10 V
Total gate charge is 93 nC at 10 V. That is a moderate figure for a 40 V die in D2PAK — not a high-speed switching part, but adequate for PWM in the tens of kHz range. The gate driver must source that charge fast enough to keep switching losses in check; a weak driver will stretch the Miller plateau and burn extra dissipation in the transition edge.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The AUIRFS8403TRR is listed as Active — no EOL notice, no last-time-buy clock. That means it can be specified into new designs without an obsolescence risk.
