Gate drive and switching parasitics
The IPA50R280CEXKSA2: Gate charge totals 32.6 nC at 10 V — low enough that many PWM controllers drive it directly without a buffer stage, though the ±20 V Vgs max leaves headroom for gate-drive overshoot on a 15 V rail. Input capacitance measures 773 pF at 100 V drain bias, which combined with the gate charge defines the turn-on delay and crossover loss at switching frequencies up to ~100 kHz in hard-switched topologies.
Thermal and package constraints for board integration
The junction temperature range spans -40°C to 150°C, covering industrial ambient conditions with margin for self-heating in a ventilated enclosure.
