Gate drive and switching budget
The 3980 pF input capacitance at 25 V drain-source sets the switching speed ceiling; the gate-drive source impedance and the PCB trace inductance become the limiting factors above 200 kHz.
Temperature range and thermal management
The 140 W power dissipation at case temperature assumes the DPak tab is soldered to a PCB copper area sized to keep the junction below 175 °C at the operating current; a 1-inch-square 2-oz copper pad on a two-layer board is a typical starting point for 20 A continuous loads.
Lifecycle and compliance
No last-time-buy risk or successor has been announced.
