175°C junction — under-hood thermal headroom
The wide temperature range also means the Rds(on) will roughly double at 175°C — budget for that in your worst-case conduction loss calculation. That Qg figure tells the gate-driver designer the switching energy per cycle — at 100 kHz, the average gate current is about 13 mA, well within a standard driver's capability.
TO-263-3 — footprint and thermal reality
Packaged in a TO-263-3 (D²Pak) surface-mount case with two leads plus the drain tab — the supplier device package is PG-TO263-3-2.
