Gate drive and switching behaviour
The gate is rated ±20 V maximum, and the drive voltage for the rated Rds(on) is 4.5 V or 10 V. Total gate charge at 10 V is 27 nC, which means the gate-driver doesn't need to source a lot of current. Input capacitance at 15 V drain-source is 2100 pF, so the switching edges will be clean with a modest gate resistor.
Temperature range and environment
Junction temperature spans -55 °C to 150 °C, which covers industrial and automotive under-hood environments. The threshold voltage is 2 V maximum at 250 µA drain current, so it's fully off below that gate voltage — useful for a low-side switch where the gate is pulled to ground through a pulldown resistor.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The BSC080N03MSGATMA1 is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy schedule is in the record.
