Gate charge and switching speed — what the driver sees
The SQ4946CEY-T1_GE3: Total gate charge is 22 nC at 10 V, and input capacitance is 865 pF at 25 V drain — the driver must supply this charge per switching cycle, so at 100 kHz the average gate drive current is about 2.2 mA per channel, well within a standard gate-driver IC's capability. The 2.5 V maximum gate threshold at 250 µA drain current means the device is fully enhanced with logic-level gate drives down to 5 V, though the 10 V condition for the rated Rds(on) is the typical drive voltage for lowest conduction loss.
Temperature grade and automotive qualification
The part is marked as active in production and ROHS3 compliant — no end-of-life risk for current designs, and no RoHS exemption expiry to track.
