Gate charge and switching behaviour
Input capacitance is 1434 pF at 100 V drain bias.
Thermal and package constraints
Maximum power dissipation is 130 W at case temperature, with the 150 °C junction temperature as the absolute limit. The D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package requires a copper land pattern on the PCB to sink heat — the tab area under the package sets the effective thermal resistance. For continuous operation near 18 A, a heatsink or forced airflow is assumed; at lower load currents the PCB copper alone may suffice.
