Gate charge and capacitance — driver sizing inputs
Total gate charge is 67 nC at 10 V, and input capacitance Ciss measures 2895 pF at 400 V drain bias. For a 100 kHz hard-switched PFC, the average gate drive current required is roughly Qg × fsw = 6.7 mA — well within the capability of a standard MOSFET driver like the 1EDN7550. The moderate Ciss means the gate drive loop inductance needs attention to avoid ringing at turn-on.
PG-VSON-4 — thermal and footprint reality
The part comes in a 4-lead PowerTSFN package, also designated PG-VSON-4. Rated power dissipation is 201 W at case temperature, but that figure assumes an ideal thermal interface — the real-world continuous current will be limited by the PCB copper area under the exposed pad. A 2 oz copper, 4-layer board with thermal vias under the drain pad is the minimum to approach the rated current.
