40 V, 100 A, 3.3 mOhm — the power switch for high-current rails
The 172 nC typical gate charge at 10 V means the gate driver needs to source and sink moderate charge for fast switching; expect a few hundred nanoseconds of rise time with a standard 2 A driver.
Package and mounting
For a 100 kHz switching frequency, the average gate-drive current required is about 17 mA — well within the capability of most half-bridge drivers. The input capacitance of 5300 pF at 25 V drain bias is moderate; the Miller plateau will be visible on the gate waveform. If you are paralleling multiple devices, match the gate resistors to within 10% to avoid current hogging during turn-on.
Thermal and temperature range
The 300 W power dissipation rating at case temperature 25°C assumes an infinite heatsink — in practice, derate based on the junction-to-case thermal resistance. The 175°C max junction temperature gives headroom for transient overloads, but continuous operation near the limit will reduce lifetime.
