Gate charge is 20 nC at 5 V, so a 5 V logic-level gate drive can switch it efficiently; the 710 pF input capacitance at 25 V drain-source keeps the Miller plateau short.
Temperature range and thermal budget
Operating junction temperature spans -55 °C to 175 °C — this part is rated for under-hood automotive and industrial environments where ambient can exceed 85 °C. The 57 W maximum power dissipation at case temperature assumes an infinite heatsink; in practice the DPAK tab soldered to a 1 oz copper pad on a 4-layer board handles 2-3 W continuous before hitting 100 °C rise.
