180A at 100V — sizing the power stage
The 4.7mOhm on-resistance at 10V gate drive produces 153W I²R loss at 180A.
The 9575 pF input capacitance at 50V Vds sets the Miller plateau charge. Combined with the 215 nC Qg, this part is designed for hard-switched topologies at moderate frequencies — think 20-50 kHz in a DC-DC converter or motor inverter. The ±20V maximum gate rating gives margin for gate-drive overshoot in noisy environments. The 4V threshold at 250µA drain current means the device is fully enhanced by 10V drive but will start conducting well below 5V — important for shoot-through prevention in half-bridge designs where the gate driver must hold the off-state below 4V during the dead time.
The TO-262-3 (I²Pak) package is a through-hole variant with long leads — the same die as the TO-220 but with a longer lead length for heatsink mounting in applications where the PCB is on one side of the chassis and the heatsink on the other. The 175°C Tj max gives headroom for transient overloads but continuous operation above 150°C junction accelerates oxide wear-out.
The part is ROHS3 compliant (lead-free).
