Total gate charge is 21.5 nC at 10 V, which is modest for a 600 V, 13 A device. A typical gate driver sourcing 1 A can switch the gate in about 22 ns, keeping crossover losses manageable in a 100 kHz SMPS. The input capacitance is 791 pF at 100 V drain bias, so the driver sees a capacitive load that rises at lower Vds — account for that in the gate resistor selection to avoid ringing.
Temperature range and package — design-in checklist
The through-hole mounting suits point-to-point wiring on a perfboard or a PCB with drilled holes; the 0.50 mm pitch of the leads is standard for a TO-220 footprint.
Lifecycle and supply — active, no LTB risk
It is ROHS3 compliant.
