14.5 mOhm at 36 A — the conduction-loss floor
The DPAK (TO-252) surface-mount package keeps the footprint small enough for dense power-stage layouts while the exposed tab handles the thermal path to the board.
Gate charge and switching speed
For a 100 kHz hard-switched converter, the gate-driver needs to source about 4.4 mA average to charge Qg — well within a standard driver's capability. The 44 nC figure also means the driver's peak current rating should be checked against the rise-time target; a 2 A driver will switch the gate in roughly 22 ns, ignoring layout inductance.
Thermal and temperature range
Maximum power dissipation is 110 W at the case — the actual usable power depends on the PCB copper area and airflow. The 175 °C Tj max provides headroom for high-ambient designs, but the RthJA from the DPAK package to ambient will be the limiting factor in a real layout.
