Gate charge and switching frequency — sizing the driver
The IPB70N10S3L12ATMA1: Total gate charge is 80 nC at 10 V Vgs. The 11.8 mOhm Rds(on) is specified at 10 V drive; a 4.5 V logic-level drive is also supported for lower-voltage gate signals, though on-resistance will rise above the 10 V figure.
Temperature grade — full military range in a power package
Maximum power dissipation is 125 W at case temperature, with derating above 25°C per the datasheet's thermal curve — the D²Pak tab's solder pad area on the PCB sets the real thermal resistance.
