Switching and drive considerations
CSD17318Q2 gate charge is 6 nC at 4.5 V. Input capacitance is 879 pF at 15 V drain-source. The recommended drive voltage spans 2.5 V to 8 V; the 8 V drive achieves the minimum Rds(on), while 2.5 V logic-level drive still turns the device on, though with higher on-resistance. Gate-source maximum is ±10 V.
Thermal and package layout
Maximum power dissipation is 16 W at the case, and the operating junction temperature range is -55 °C to 150 °C.
