Gate charge and switching losses — 161 nC at 10 V
Total gate charge is 161 nC at 10 V gate drive, which sets the gate-driver current requirement: at a 100 kHz switching frequency, the average gate drive current is 16.1 mA, well within the capability of most automotive gate-driver ICs. Input capacitance Ciss is 4440 pF at 100 V drain-source — a moderate value that keeps the Miller plateau short enough for efficient hard-switching up to several tens of kilohertz without excessive driver losses.
Package and thermal management — TO-247-3 (PG-TO247-3)
The TO-247-3 through-hole package (supplier device package PG-TO247-3) allows for a large copper tab area on the PCB or direct heatsink mounting, supporting the 391 W maximum power dissipation at case temperature when properly heatsunk. The gate threshold voltage is 4.5 V maximum at 1.76 mA drain current, and the recommended drive voltage for minimum on-resistance is 10 V — a standard logic-level gate drive will not fully enhance this device.
