80 V, 2.6 mOhm — the conduction-loss floor
This puts it in the sweet spot for 48 V bus converters, 12 V to 24 V point-of-load stages, and synchronous rectification where conduction loss dominates the thermal budget.
Gate charge and switching loss
Total gate charge is 92 nC at 10 V. For a 100 kHz switching stage, the average gate drive current needed is 9.2 mA — well within the capability of a standard driver like the 2EDN series, but the peak current from the driver's output capacitance must still supply the Miller plateau. The input capacitance Ciss is 6800 pF at 40 V Vds, which sets the driver's turn-on delay and the minimum dead-time for a half-bridge.
Package and thermal path
Housed in an 8-PowerTDFN (PG-TDSON-8-6) package, the part is surface-mount with an exposed drain pad. The datasheet specifies 2.5 W dissipation at 25 °C ambient (Ta) and 156 W at the case (Tc). The 100 A continuous drain rating is package-limited — the board copper area under the pad sets the real-world RthJA. Store the reels dry; the moisture sensitivity level is not stated here but a standard MSL bake before reflow is prudent for PowerTDFN packages.
