they say 9A peak, and 2A with a 10mA input, but what would be the Itrip ? 5A sounds good to me.. at what output current do you run it, luka ?
I have 100R on between IRS and it, about 11v on upper driver, 12v on bottom one, so... I use >100ma on input to drive it, so source current could be 9A and sink should be in 5.5A range. But do note, that I have 10r gate resistors, don't want to turn fets on too fast, but primary goal with them was to take load of IRS
also note that they cost like 0.2€/pc, so nothing more then if you wouldn't use them

I plan to do 3 separated amp.. 30A 12V power supply would be ok for VCC ? i found this one, kinda cheap!

Even 1 amp at 12 volts will be overkill.
I just drop the voltage from +45 volts through a couple of high watt resistors into a 7812 regulator.
that much ?
i mean.. with the 9A peak of the gate buffer 1A would be ok ?
The last time I measued the VCC current it was about 250mA max.
The current pulse into the MOSFET gates is very short.
It only requires enough to charge up the gate capacitance.
anyway.. the 12V 30A is the same price of the 12V 5A so.. haha and since i will use the gate buffer that luka suggested, i will put Rg = 4.7ohm, maybe less.. this way (i think ? ) i'll eliminate my high gate charge problem
Like I said, nothing else changes, so yes, diodes are still in, I have them toocould i still use i diode for sink current ?
and for supply, unless you will mainly use it for something else, you need <<<<<<<<<<500mA for gate drivers, I just wanted to point out, if you would use drop resistors, you would need to change resistance of them, if you went from say 250k switching freq. to 500k
Yes but do note, that most energy in that small amount of time (turning on fet) will be drawn from capacitor, you need this supply only to charge capacitor in 1000x longer time back upthat much ?

Don't get to crazy with low Rg, you'll get hole new set of problems by lowering it too much, I wouldn't go below 4.7, in fact I would stay at 10R as I am now. And I am saying thig because I have almost the same gate charge as you doanyway.. the 12V 30A is the same price of the 12V 5A so.. haha and since i will use the gate buffer that luka suggested, i will put Rg = 4.7ohm, maybe less.. this way (i think ? ) i'll eliminate my high gate charge problem
EDIT: no you have fets will smaller gate charge, what you wrote is MAX
Yes and no. This depends on:tho, for B+ and B-, for 3amplifiers, what power should i look for ?
what kind of music will you listen to, how loud (how much power will amp need to deliver), what size of stored energy will you have in supply lines B+ and B-

I listen every type of music.. and i like my Bass loud 🙂 i guess 48V 5A or 10A, something like that, would do ?
what type of problem could i get by lowering Rg?
yes i will surly use the supply i bought for some other application, was so cheap i couldnt not buy it 😛 so 12V 1.5A would do ? cause ive one right now.. ^^
and btw, thanks for the quick replies! i appreciate ! 🙂
i'll post my new schematic and the PCB tonight (GW -5h)
good day

yes, 1.5A will do for several amps.
Right now I can't think, but i'm sure you can find a lot, that has to do with too fast turn on of fets
5-10A will also do, for main voltage... again depends on what everything will be on this supply (I use for now my car amp that I made on 13v, 10A limited supply, and I can drive well over 200w on speaker)
Sir, no problem, glad to help

page 10 on bottom..
R gate optimum = rac(Ls / Ciss) - (Zdriver + Rgi)
where
Ls = source inductance
Ciss = input capacitance
Zdrive = driver output impedance
Rgi = serie mesh resistance of the gate
so the optimum gate res for the irf540 would be around 2ohm.. could that be ?

I guess this is right... just to let you know, most gate resistors "were" in 10-22r...
but I would like to see, how it would work with 2r, even better, if you would have comparison to show
And I think you can already see that IRS is not for big fets, its driver is current very limited

yeah its why im gonn use your gate buff ! 😀 im very curious to see.. and tho, the buff is sooooo smallll :O haha 0,1in between one side to the other
i just cant tell what is the Rgi of the fet.. aint in the datasheet, output Z of driver also aint written :X but calculable i guess 11,3V / Io where Io = Iin * k ( see datasheet of the buff..)

Try a TC4420 this available in 8 pin PDIP.
