8 mOhm at 14 A — the conduction-loss story
The headline number is the 8 mOhm maximum on-resistance at 14 A with a 16 V gate drive — that is low enough to keep conduction losses under a watt at moderate duty cycles, which matters when the board has no heatsink and relies on the SO-8 copper pads to sink heat.
Gate drive and switching
Gate charge is 59 nC at 10 V, and the drive voltage range for minimum Rds(on) is 10 V to 16 V. That means a 10 V gate drive gets you close to the rated on-resistance; going to 16 V knocks it down to the 8 mOhm floor. Input capacitance is 2410 pF at 15 V drain — a standard gate driver with a few ohms of series resistance will switch it cleanly in the 100–500 kHz range without excessive ringing.
Temperature range and field fit
Junction temperature range is -55°C to 150°C, which puts this part in the military-temperature bracket. It will sit in an avionics bay, a downhole tool, or an outdoor telecom rectifier without derating the junction temperature spec — though the 2.5 W power dissipation at 25°C ambient (Ta) means the board copper area and airflow set the real thermal limit, not the die.
