Gate charge totals 56 nC at 10 V, so a 1 A gate driver charges the gate in 56 ns — fast enough for 100–200 kHz hard-switched converters without excessive cross-conduction. Input capacitance is 1690 pF at 25 V drain-source, which sets the driver's dynamic current draw and the gate-loop layout priority.
175 °C junction — where this part lives in the thermal stack
The operating junction temperature range of -55 to 175 °C exceeds the typical 150 °C ceiling of many TO-252 MOSFETs. For a 12 V automotive auxiliary supply or a 48 V telecom DC-DC stage, the 175 °C rating means the part can sustain a 110 W case-temperature-limited dissipation without entering the derating knee until well above 150 °C junction. The D-Pak (TO-252) footprint with the exposed drain tab requires a thermal pad on the PCB — the 3 W ambient-limited dissipation assumes no heatsink; the 110 W case-limited figure assumes the tab is soldered to a copper plane that keeps the case below 25 °C. In practice, a 1 oz copper pad of 1 in² drops the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance to about 50 °C/W.
Active production and compliance — no LTB clock ticking
ROHS3 compliant per the listing, with no exemptions that would trigger a PCN for substance restriction.
