Key ratings for the power budget
The 100 V Vdss rating gives headroom for 48 V bus, 24 V industrial, and 12 V automotive rails. The 24 mΩ Rds(on) at 10 V gate drive translates to roughly 7.7 W conduction loss at 16 A, which is within the dissipation budget with adequate heatsinking. These are moderate values — a standard gate driver with 1 A to 2 A peak source/sink capability will switch this part in the tens of nanoseconds range. The threshold voltage is specified at 4.5 V maximum at 250 µA, so a 10 V gate drive is recommended for fully enhanced Rds(on); at 5 V drive the on-resistance will be significantly higher.
For new designs, a pin-compatible replacement from the same STripFET™ family should be evaluated.
