Total gate charge is 34 nC at 4.5 V, with a drive voltage window of 4.5 V to 10 V for achieving the rated Rds(on). At a 100 kHz switching frequency the gate-drive current demand is roughly Qg × f = 34 nC × 100 kHz = 3.4 mA average, well within a standard gate-driver IC's capability.
175 °C junction — headroom for the thermal derating curve
Maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, a full 25 °C above the typical 150 °C ceiling on many automotive-grade P-channels. The power dissipation ceiling is 70 W at case temperature. In a real board with the DPAK's exposed pad soldered to a 1 oz copper plane, the buyer should derate Id from 46 A at 25 °C case to roughly 30 A at 85 °C ambient — the 175 °C rating buys margin in a sealed enclosure or under-hood location where still air pushes the junction above 125 °C.
No last-time-buy notice or end-of-life timeline is in effect. The part is ROHS3 compliant.
