Gate charge and switching speed
Total gate charge is 42 nC at 10 V, and input capacitance is 1091 pF at 25 V drain-source. For a 100 kHz hard-switched converter the gate drive needs to source about 4.2 A peak to hit the target rise time; a typical 2 A driver will be marginal at higher frequencies.
175 °C junction — wider thermal headroom
This buys margin in high-ambient environments such as under-hood automotive or industrial motor drives where the case temperature runs above 100 °C.
The part is ROHS3 compliant.
