167 nC gate charge — sizing the driver
Total gate charge is 167 nC at 10 V. For a hard-switched bridge running at 100 kHz, the average gate-drive current works out to roughly 16.7 mA — within the capability of most dedicated MOSFET drivers, but the peak current during the Miller plateau still needs a low-impedance drive path. Input capacitance is 9473 pF at 60 V drain-source, which dominates the switching losses at light load.

Through-hole I2PAK — board-mounting reality
The TO-262-3 (I2PAK) is a through-hole package with long leads, designed for the same footprint as D2PAK but with the leads bent for vertical PCB mounting. The 349 W power dissipation rating at case temperature assumes a large copper pad on the board side or a heatsink clamped to the exposed metal tab. The 4 V gate threshold at 1 mA drain current means a 5 V logic-level gate drive will not fully enhance the channel — a 10 V rail is needed to reach the rated Rds(on).
