The operating junction temperature spans -55°C to 175°C, which puts it in the military-temperature class. That matters for avionics power supplies, downhole instrumentation, or engine-bay DC-DC converters where the ambient hits 125°C and the junction climbs another 50°C above that. The 144 W package dissipation rating at the case assumes a heatsink that keeps Tc at 25°C — derate linearly above that.
Gate drive budget — 38 nC at 10 V
Total gate charge is 38 nC at 10 V. At 100 kHz switching frequency the average gate-drive current is about 3.8 mA — a standard gate-driver IC handles that without a booster stage. The 1710 pF input capacitance at 50 V drain-source gives a rough Ciss figure for the driver's peak current sizing; a 2 A driver charges that capacitance in under 10 ns.
Package and mounting — D2PAK (TO-263AB)
Surface-mount D2PAK (TO-263AB) with two leads plus the tab. For a 24 A continuous load the copper pad should match the tab footprint and extend to a thermal-via array under the package. The Tape & Reel variant (TR suffix) is the production-friendly format for pick-and-place.
