Conduction loss and gate drive budget
The 87 nC total gate charge at 10 V means a 100 kHz switching frequency draws about 8.7 mA average from the gate driver; a 1 A driver handles it easily, but the gate-drive loop inductance and resistance matter for clean turn-on. Input capacitance Ciss is 7100 pF at 100 V drain — this sets the switching energy per cycle and the driver's peak current requirement. The ±20 V maximum gate-source rating gives margin for ringing on long gate traces.
Package and thermal reality
The PG-TO263-3 (D2PAK) is a surface-mount package with an exposed drain tab. The tab is the drain terminal — the PCB copper area under it sets the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. For 88 A continuous, a multi-layer board with thermal vias and a heatsink on the bottom side is expected; the 300 W maximum dissipation at case temperature is a die limit, not a free-air number. Junction temperature range is -55°C to 175°C, which suits under-hood automotive and industrial motor-drive environments where the ambient can hit 105°C and the die runs hotter.
