Gate drive budget — 620 nC
Total gate charge is 620 nC at 10 V Vgs. At 20 kHz switching, the average gate current is 12.4 mA; the peak current from the driver must be higher to charge the gate within the switching dead-time. The 13 000 pF input capacitance at 25 V Vds confirms the gate drive must be sized for a stiff, low-impedance path to avoid Miller plateau slowdown.
Thermal budget — 470 W dissipation ceiling
Maximum power dissipation is 470 W at the case, with the junction rated from -55 °C to 175 °C. The TO-247AC package's large tab area lets the designer mount to a heatsink with a low thermal resistance path — the 175 °C junction limit means the thermal impedance of the mounting interface, not the silicon, will set the practical current derating above 25 °C.
