P-channel 100V 23A — high-side load switching
The P-channel polarity simplifies high-side drive — the source connects to the positive rail and the load sits between drain and ground, eliminating the need for a charge-pump gate driver. On-resistance is 117 mOhm maximum at 11 A with 10 V gate drive.
D2PAK package — thermal and footprint considerations
Housed in a D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with two leads plus the tab. Power dissipation is rated at 140 W at the case, derating to 3.8 W in still air at 25°C ambient.
Gate drive and input capacitance
Input capacitance is 1300 pF at 25 V drain-source — this, combined with the gate charge, determines the switching losses at a given frequency.
