Gate charge and switching — what the driver needs to deliver
Total gate charge is 89 nC at 10 V. The input capacitance is 2770 pF at 25 V drain-source; that plus the gate resistance sets the turn-on and turn-off delay.
D2PAK footprint — thermal pad is the first thing to get right
The TO-263-3 (D2PAK) package has a large exposed tab on the bottom. Without that thermal path, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance limits continuous current to well below the 51 A rating. The surface-mount assembly is straightforward for reflow, but the tab solder joint should be inspected — a void under the tab is a reliability risk.
