Gate drive and switching considerations
Gate charge is 231 nC at 10 V. The recommended drive voltage range is 6 V to 10 V for achieving the specified Rds(on). Maximum gate-to-source voltage is ±20 V.
Package and thermal path
The PG-HSOG-8-1 package is an 8-lead PowerSMD with gull-wing leads and an exposed drain pad on the bottom. Surface-mount assembly with a proper thermal via pattern under the pad is required to get the 375 W power dissipation rating.
Automotive qualification and production status
AEC-Q101 qualification is confirmed, which means the part has passed the stress tests required for automotive-grade components — temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and humidity bias. ROHS3 compliance is listed, covering the latest restriction exemptions. For a BOM freeze or a new design, this part is a safe choice for automotive power stages.
