100 V, 27 A — the conduction-loss anchor
This is a 100 V class part, which gives roughly 50% headroom on a 48 V bus and comfortable margin on 24 V or 12 V rails where transients can spike to 60-80 V. The 27 A continuous rating assumes the TO-252-3 DPak package is soldered to adequate copper area on the PCB to pull heat from the exposed tab.
Gate charge and switching — 24 nC at 10 V
Total gate charge is 24 nC at 10 V gate drive. For a hard-switched converter at 200 kHz, the gate drive current needed is about 4.8 mA average — easily handled by a standard MOSFET driver. The 1570 pF input capacitance at 50 V drain-source gives a rough idea of the Ciss-driven switching delay; plan for a gate resistor in the 10-22 ohm range to control ringing on the gate loop.
Thermal reach: 175°C junction and 58 W dissipation
Rated operating junction temperature spans -55°C to 175°C, which is the full automotive-grade temperature range. The 58 W maximum power dissipation at case temperature is a package-limited figure — the DPak's RthJC is about 2.6°C/W typical, so real-world dissipation depends heavily on PCB copper area and airflow. In a still-air environment with minimal copper, derate to 2-3 W continuous.
Package and mounting
Supplied in a TO-252-3 (DPak) surface-mount package, supplier device package PG-TO252-3. The ±20 V maximum gate-source rating gives good margin against gate overvoltage spikes during switching transitions.
Lifecycle and compliance
RoHS3 compliant, which covers the full ten restricted substance categories under EU directive 2015/863.
