Gate drive and input capacitance
The recommended drive voltage for minimum on-resistance is 10 V, with a maximum gate-to-source rating of ±20 V. Input capacitance is 1053 pF at 400 V drain-source — a moderate figure that allows direct drive from a standard PWM controller without excessive gate-charge demand. The 3.5 V maximum gate threshold at 360 µA drain current means the device is fully enhanced with a 10 V gate signal, but the threshold is high enough to avoid spurious turn-on from coupled noise in a half-bridge leg.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The IPU95R450P7AKMA1 carries an Active lifecycle status from the manufacturer, so there is no imminent end-of-life or last-time-buy pressure for this BOM line. The part is ROHS3 compliant.
