The gate threshold voltage is specified at 2.5 V maximum with 250 µA drain current, allowing logic-level gate drive from 5 V rails.
Total gate charge is 41 nC at 5 V gate-source voltage, and input capacitance measures 2370 pF at 25 V drain-source bias. These figures indicate the gate-drive energy per switching cycle and the capacitive load the driver sees; a 5 V gate-drive rail is sufficient to turn the device fully on, though minimum Rds(on) is achieved at 10 V drive.
