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.
Thermal budget — 470 W dissipation ceiling
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.
