Gate charge and input capacitance — what the driver sees
The IRF1404LPBF: With 200 nC typical gate charge at 10V and 7360 pF input capacitance at 25V drain, this FET demands a gate driver capable of sourcing and sinking several amps to switch the channel in the tens of nanoseconds — a standard logic-level output will not turn it on fast enough, so plan for a dedicated driver stage.
Through-hole TO-262 — board integration
The TO-262-3 (I²Pak) package with long leads mounts through a PCB hole and accepts a heatsink clip or screw — the 200W power dissipation at case temperature assumes a thermal interface to a heatsink, not free-air convection.
