100V, 100A in a TO-220-3 — the switching MOSFET for 48V rails and motor drives
It targets high-efficiency switching applications where conduction loss and thermal management are the primary constraints — 48V intermediate bus converters, DC motor drives, battery protection circuits, and power OR-ing stages.
16.5 mOhm at 10V — what the on-resistance means for the thermal budget
Rds(on) is specified at 16.5 mOhm maximum with a 30A drain current and 10V gate drive. At 100A load, the conduction loss calculates to 165W — well above the 118W package dissipation limit at the case, so the designer must derate current or add heatsinking. The 6V minimum drive voltage for rated Rds(on) allows operation from a standard 12V gate drive rail without a boost stage.
22.2 nC gate charge — switching efficiency without a monster driver
Total gate charge at 10V is 22.2 nC, and input capacitance Ciss is 1670 pF at 50V Vds.
