Switching loss and gate-drive budget
The 27 nC total gate charge at 10 V is the number to size the gate-drive supply and the driver's peak current capability.
Thermal and mechanical fit
The TO-263-3 (D²Pak) footprint is a standard surface-mount power package. The exposed tab carries the drain potential — PCB layout must account for creepage and clearance to adjacent traces at 600 V. The 60 W maximum power dissipation at the case requires a thermal pad or copper area on the PCB to keep the junction below 150°C. The -55°C to 150°C junction temperature range covers industrial and most automotive under-hood environments without derating.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The IPB60R600CP carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. For current BOM lines, this part is a stable, non-risk selection.
