Gate charge and switching considerations
Maximum gate charge is 51.8 nC at 10 V gate drive, with an input capacitance of 770 pF at 25 V drain-source. These figures set the gate drive requirements for the switching frequency target — a 10 V gate signal with sufficient peak current to charge 51.8 nC within the desired turn-on time.
Thermal and mounting in the TO-220FP
Maximum power dissipation is 30 W at case temperature, with the junction rated to 150°C. The through-hole mounting suits point-to-point wiring, terminal blocks, or PCB mounting with the leads formed to the hole pattern. The isolated tab simplifies assembly but does increase thermal resistance compared to a standard TO-220 with an insulator; the heatsink design should account for the package's thermal impedance.
