MOSFET power stage and gate driver

Not open for further replies.
i want to ask what a different function diode about this configuration MOSFET?
if i want to build a full bridge MOSFET configuration wihich one is better?
i use HIP4081 as a gate driver.

PS🙁out of topic) what replacement ic opamp lt1632 use as triangelwave inverter?

regards,

5K1 is too large unless you want to slow down the turn on time.

10R-100R is more in the range that you should use.

1N4148 are signal diodes. Using them like the left configuration is not useful...Diodes rated for a few amps should be used there.
 
D1 and D2 will help prevent MOSFET's body diode conducting if that is a problem. It sometimes is if they are slower to recover than the dead time you have. As mentioned they need to be beefier than 4148s, they must handle the same current as the load, tho only in very short periods, so only worry about peak rating, not DC. The smaller you can use the better.
D3 and D4 are for speeding up the 'turn-off' of the MOSFETs. As mentioned the gate resistors need to be much smaller in value. Fer instance: If the driver u use can provide 5amps and the supply voltage to the driver is 10V, max resistor value is 2ohms. That is if you want the whole 5A. If monster MOSFETs are used, u'll need the drive current. If you are designing for reasonable power you should select smaller MOSFETs, and they will require less gate current, so larger resistor values can be used. If you want slower rise/fall times of the gate drive signal, larger resistors should be used, but you need to be able to charge the gates properly, so going too high may create other problems such as not turning the MOSFETs properly on and risking too high power dissipation.
