600 V N-channel MOSFET in TO-220 Full Pack — MDmesh DM2
On-resistance and gate charge — switching loss budget
The drive voltage range is 10 V for both the max and min Rds(on) — this part is not optimized for 5 V logic-level drive, so budget a 10 V gate supply or a bootstrap rail. Total gate charge (Qg) is 13.5 nC at 10 V, and input capacitance (Ciss) is 449 pF at 100 V drain-source. Those numbers keep switching losses manageable in hard-switched topologies running at 50–150 kHz, which is the typical sweet spot for this class of device.
Junction temperature and power dissipation
Maximum power dissipation is 25 W at the case (Tc). The TO-220 Full Pack's isolation adds thermal resistance compared to a standard TO-220 — a heatsink is practically required above a few watts of continuous dissipation. The 150°C junction ceiling is the real limit; derate power linearly above 25°C case temperature per the datasheet curve.
