650 V, 35 A, 78 mOhm — the hard-switching budget
The TO-247-3 through-hole package is the standard high-current, high-voltage footprint. The exposed backside tab conducts heat to the heatsink; the 150 °C maximum junction temperature gives headroom for transient overloads in motor-drive or UPS applications where the thermal time constant of the heatsink is long.
Gate charge and switching speed
Total gate charge is 91 nC at 10 V gate drive, with input capacitance of 3375 pF measured at 100 V drain. A 1 A gate driver can charge the gate to the Miller plateau in about 90 ns, supporting switching frequencies up to 100 kHz in a full-bridge topology without excessive cross-conduction losses. The 10 V drive voltage is the recommended rail for minimum Rds(on); the gate is rated ±20 V absolute maximum. The 5 V gate-threshold maximum at 250 µA drain current means the device is fully enhanced with a standard 10 V gate drive, but the threshold is high enough to resist spurious turn-on from gate ringing in a half-bridge leg.
