Switching loss and gate-drive budget
Total gate charge is 11.6 nC at 10 V gate drive. For a 200 kHz switching frequency, the average gate-drive current is 2.3 mA — well within the capability of a standard gate-driver IC. Input capacitance is 920 pF at 100 V drain bias, which keeps the Miller plateau short and limits cross-conduction losses in hard-switched topologies.
Thermal limits and package footprint
Maximum power dissipation is 62.5 W at case temperature Tc=25 °C. The PG-TSDSON-8 package (8-PowerTDFN) has a large bottom-side thermal pad; the PCB copper area under the pad directly sets the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. For continuous 15.2 A operation, a 2 oz copper pour of at least 2 in² is recommended to keep the junction below 125 °C.
It is ROHS3 compliant.
