What this 40 V NexFET brings to a power stage
The CSD18502Q5B: N-channel NexFET power MOSFET rated for 40 V drain-to-source and 100 A continuous drain current at case temperature.
Rds(on) and gate drive — what the numbers mean for the BOM
2.3 mOhm Rds(on) at 30 A with 10 V on the gate. 68 nC gate charge at 10 V. Input capacitance 5070 pF at 20 V Vds.
Thermal and package — fitting it into the layout
Exposed drain pad on the bottom must be soldered to a copper plane to achieve 156 W power dissipation at case temperature.
Lifecycle and sourcing
No second-source or pin-compatible alternate is listed in the official cross-reference, so dual-sourcing would require a separate qualification.
