Gate charge and input capacitance — drive budget
With a maximum gate charge of 28 nC at 4.5 V and input capacitance of 4290 pF at 15 V drain-source, the CSD87313DMST can be driven directly from a 5 V or 3.3 V PWM controller without an external gate driver, saving board space and BOM cost. The 1.2 V maximum gate threshold at 250 µA ensures the device turns on cleanly with logic-level drive signals, even at low temperature.
Thermal and temperature range
The 2.7 W power dissipation ceiling in the 8-WSON package means the PCB copper area under the package must be sized to keep the junction below 150°C at full load.
