Total gate charge is 60 nC at 10 V, with an input capacitance of 4570 pF measured at 25 V drain-source. For a 100 kHz switching frequency, the gate driver must supply about 6 mA average current to charge and discharge the gate; a driver with 2 A peak capability handles the switching transition cleanly without excessive crossover conduction. The threshold voltage window tops out at 4 V at 250 µA drain current, so a 5 V gate drive will not fully enhance the channel to the minimum Rds(on) — the datasheet specifies 10 V as the drive voltage for the rated on-resistance. Designs using 3.3 V logic need a level-shifted gate driver.
