Hi verpies,

In regards to MOSFET Driver Layout.png
The R2 should be replaced with fast switching diode to drain gate charge fast as possible. That will kill ringing when mosfet driver switches on its lower internal mosfet for this. The higher internal gate-source capacitance of MOSFET usually is a cause.

Cheers!

Following that train of reasoning - why not eliminate the gate resistors altogether?

Each MOSFET gate-drain have maximum peak current which need to be limited on power-on. On power-off the maximum value will not be reached so this is is why it is safe to create direct gate discharge path.

P.S> You can see such implementation in Tesla driver I posted previously.

Why will it not be reached during "power-OFF" ?

so this is is why it is safe to create direct gate discharge path.

Since the gate current flows only through R1 during "power-ON" and only through R2 during "power-OFF", why did you recommend a diode in place of R2 ?
By following this train of reasoning - wouldn't the complete elimination of R2, discharge the gate even faster?

In that case, just build driver board like it is shared and said, then you can see it that works...

The Tesla coil driver works perfectly in my place by the way.
