Gate charge and drive — direct GPIO switching
Maximum gate charge is 6 nC at 4.5 V Vgs, which means a 3.3 V MCU GPIO can switch the FET on and off without a dedicated gate driver IC. The drive voltage range for rated Rds(on) spans 4.5 V to 10 V, so a 5 V logic rail or a 3.3 V rail with a level shifter both work within the ±20 V Vgs max. Input capacitance Ciss is 639 pF at 25 V Vds — a figure that keeps the switching edge rate manageable for EMI-sensitive loads like a sensor rail or a small DC motor.
