650 V CoolMOS for PFC and SMPS stages
It is specified for the 10 V gate-drive level typical of standard PWM controllers and gate-driver ICs.
Conduction and switching losses
At 15 A the Rds(on) will be higher — budget 320–350 mOhm at full current and 100°C junction — which sets the conduction loss at roughly 7–8 W for a 5 A RMS load in a PFC stage. Total gate charge is 63 nC at 10 V.
Thermal and package reality for the BOM
Maximum power dissipation is 156 W at case temperature, but the practical limit in a TO-220-3 with a typical clip-on heatsink in still air is around 2–3 W continuous — real designs need a forced-air flow or a larger bolted heatsink to use the full current rating.
