Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the input voltage (V_in) is within the specified range of 12 to 24 V.
   • The output voltage (V_out) should be maintained at 5 V for optimal performance.

2. Current Handling:

   • The continuous drain current (I_D) should not exceed 33 A at a case temperature (T_C) of 25°C.
   • For peak conditions, the drain current (I_Dpeak) can reach up to 66 A for short durations (10 μs) at the same case temperature.

3. Gate Control:

   • Apply a gate-source voltage (V_GS) of at least 2.0 V to turn on the device, with a typical threshold of 2.5 V.
   • For minimum on-state resistance, use a gate-source voltage of 10 V.

4. Thermal Management:

   • The total power dissipation (P_TOT) should not exceed 125 W at a case temperature of 25°C.
   • Ensure proper heat sinking to keep the junction temperature (T_J) below 175°C.
   • Store the device in an environment where the temperature ranges from -55°C to 150°C.

5. Handling and Storage:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid static damage.
   • Store the device in a dry, cool place within the specified storage temperature range.

6. Safety Precautions:

   • Always follow proper electrical safety guidelines when working with high currents and voltages.
   • Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
