Why the 1.8 mOhm Rds(on) matters for your power stage
The NXP BUK751R8-40E127 is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchMOS MOSFET in a TO-220AB through-hole package.
Gate charge and switching — sizing the driver
A total gate charge of 145 nC at 10 V means the gate driver must source and sink that charge each switching cycle. At 100 kHz, the average gate-drive current is 14.5 mA — well within a standard driver's capability — but the peak current needed to charge the 11340 pF input capacitance in a few tens of nanoseconds calls for a driver with at least 2 A peak output. The ±20 V Vgs max gives headroom for a 12 V or 15 V gate drive rail without clamping.
Temperature grade and what it buys you
For industrial designs that see high ambient or frequent thermal cycling, that qualification is a reliability shortcut.
