Rds(on) and gate drive — sizing the gate driver and thermal budget
The drive voltage spec (4.5 V min, 10 V for rated Rds(on)) means a standard 10 V gate-drive rail hits the minimum on-resistance.
Package and mounting — PG-TDSON-8-6 footprint notes
The 8-pin body is compact, but the pad area dominates the footprint — check the recommended land pattern in the datasheet before layout release.
For a BOM freeze or new-design qualification, this part is a clean entry — no near-term supply risk from the manufacturer side. The OptiMOS series is a mature Infineon portfolio, so datasheet and application-note support are well established.
