Gate charge and switching — driver selection
The IRFR3710ZTRPBF: Total gate charge is 100 nC at 10 V. Input capacitance is 2930 pF at 25 V.
Thermal and package — the DPak footprint
Junction temperature range is -55 to 175 °C — the 175 °C ceiling suits high-ambient environments like motor drives or under-hood automotive. The DPak (TO-252) surface-mount package has the drain tab on the top; the PCB copper area under the tab sets the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. For 140 W maximum power dissipation at case temperature, a substantial copper pour or heatsink is needed.
Lifecycle and compliance — active production, ROHS3
ROHS3 compliant, so no exemption paperwork for EU/UK markets.
