The input capacitance is 4300 pF at 25 V drain-source. These numbers tell you the gate driver must source and sink enough current to charge and discharge the gate within your switching period — a 1 A driver will give roughly 120 ns rise time, adequate for hard-switching up to several hundred kHz. For soft-switching or lower frequency, a smaller driver suffices.
The D2PAK (TO-263-7) is a surface-mount package with six leads plus a tab. The 272 W power rating assumes the tab is held at case temperature — in practice, your PCB copper and airflow determine the real limit.
For a BOM freeze or production line, this part is currently in regular supply through the independent distribution channel.
