Gate charge and switching — what drives the driver
The IPP65R420CFDXKSA2: Total gate charge is 31.5 nC at 10 V, which determines the gate-drive current needed for a target switching frequency. For a 100 kHz hard-switched converter, the average gate-drive current is about 3.15 mA — well within a standard driver's capability. Input capacitance is 870 pF at 100 V drain-source, a figure that influences the Coss-related turn-on loss in resonant topologies.
Through-hole TO-220 — mounting and thermal path
The PG-TO220-3 package is a through-hole TO-220 with a metal tab for heatsink attachment.
