3.85 mOhm at 5 V gate drive — no separate gate driver needed
The NP90N055VUK-E1-AY: Maximum on-resistance is 3.85 mOhm at 45 A drain current with 5 V applied to the gate.
TO-252-3 DPak — the surface-mount power tab
Packaged in TO-252-3 (DPak), a three-lead surface-mount case with a large drain tab. The tab is the drain connection, so the PCB copper pour under the part serves as both electrical node and heatsink. Thermal resistance to case is the dominant path — the 147 W power dissipation at case temperature versus 1.2 W in still air tells you this part needs a copper land or an external heatsink to deliver its full 90 A rating. Board layout should follow the typical DPak footprint with multiple vias to an inner-layer copper plane.
