100 V, 15 A — the power-switching envelope
That voltage and current combination places it in the sweet spot for 48 V to 72 V bus converters, battery-charger output stages, and motor-drive half-bridges where the DC link sits below 100 V. At 7.5 A the dissipation is about 2.4 W — the 8-PowerWDFN package with exposed pad (8-WPAK) must have adequate copper area on the PCB to keep the junction below the 150 °C maximum.
Gate charge and switching speed
Total gate charge is 21 nC at 10 V. For a 100 kHz switching frequency the average gate-drive current needed is 2.1 mA — well within the capability of a standard gate-driver IC. The 1450 pF input capacitance at 10 V drain-source gives a rough Ciss figure for the driver's peak current requirement during the Miller plateau.
Package and thermal path
The 8-PowerWDFN (8-WPAK) is a surface-mount package with an exposed pad on the underside. Without that plane the 15 A rating is not sustainable.
