If you have an active BOM line using the SPA02N80C3XKSA1, now is the time to secure lifetime buy quantities or qualify a replacement.
At lower gate voltages the on-resistance climbs — the drive voltage spec of 10 V for maximum Rds(on) tells you to plan for a 10 V gate supply if you want the lowest drop. The input capacitance of 290 pF at 100 V drain-source confirms a light capacitive load on the driver.
Package and mounting — TO-220 Full Pack isolation
The TO-220-3 Full Pack (PG-TO220-3-31) is a through-hole package with a fully isolated backside tab. No extra insulating washer is needed between the tab and the heatsink, which simplifies assembly and improves thermal transfer. The maximum power dissipation is 30.5 W at the case temperature, so a decent heatsink is required if you run near the 2 A continuous limit.
