Gate drive and switching budget
The IRF2807ZPBF: Total gate charge is 110 nC at 10 V, requiring a driver capable of sourcing and sinking that charge at the target switching frequency. Input capacitance is 3270 pF at 25 V drain-source — the driver must overcome this capacitance during each switching edge. The recommended drive voltage is 10 V for minimum Rds(on); the gate is rated ±20 V maximum.
Thermal and environmental range
This makes the part suitable for under-hood automotive, high-ambient industrial enclosures, and power stages near heat sources. Maximum power dissipation is 170 W at case temperature 25°C, derated above that per the datasheet curve.
Package and mounting
Through-hole TO-220-3 (TO-220AB) package — the standard three-lead power package with a metal tab for heatsink attachment. Mounting requires a screw or clip to the heatsink; thermal compound between tab and heatsink improves heat transfer.
Lifecycle and sourcing
ROHS3 compliant.
