The IPN60R3K4CEATMA1: With a gate charge of only 4.6 nC at 10 V, the gate drive energy per switching cycle is low enough that a simple logic-level PWM output from a controller IC can drive it directly in many designs, saving a dedicated gate-driver BOM line.
Rework and board-fit notes for the SOT223 package
The PG-SOT223-3 package has a large drain tab on the bottom. The 5 W dissipation ceiling requires a low-thermal-resistance path from the drain tab to a copper plane.
