Gate charge and input capacitance — sizing the driver
With a typical gate charge of 96 nC at 10 V and input capacitance of 2127 pF at 100 V drain-source, the IPA60R125C6XKSA1 needs a gate driver capable of sourcing and sinking a few amperes peak to keep switching edges clean. The 34 W package power limit at case temperature means the thermal design — heatsink size, airflow, switching frequency — must be checked against the application losses, not just the headline current rating.
