Total gate charge is 227 nC at 10 V — a figure that directly sets the gate-driver current requirement. At 100 kHz switching, the average gate-drive current is 22.7 mA; the driver must source and sink that charge within the dead-time window to avoid shoot-through. Input capacitance Ciss is 10470 pF at 50 V drain-source. The Miller plateau region determines the switching transition time; pairing this FET with a driver capable of 2 A peak current keeps the turn-on and turn-off edges under 100 ns.
Thermal limits and package choice
Maximum junction temperature is 175°C, giving 25°C of headroom over the more common 150°C rating. The TO-247-3 (TO-247AC) through-hole package bolts directly to a heatsink with a single M3 screw, minimising junction-to-case thermal resistance.
It is ROHS3 compliant.
