Gate charge and switching speed
The NP109N04PUK-E1-AY: Total gate charge is 189 nC at 10 V gate drive. The input capacitance is 10800 pF at 25 V drain-source.
Thermal headroom and package
The TO-263 (D²Pak) surface-mount package exposes a large copper tab on the bottom for heatsinking. With proper PCB copper area and thermal vias, the device can dissipate up to 250 W at the case — but the 1.8 W at ambient rating reflects the bare-board limit without a heatsink.
Lifecycle and compliance
For new designs, the active lifecycle means no supply discontinuity risk from obsolescence.
