= R110) current should be considered in the calculation as it is significant. In this case, the required I
Considering this current value and the VCC_AC minimum voltage, the gate resistor calculation is:
R106 + R107 =
The nearest normalized value is 374 Ω.
You can calculate maximum power in the resistors considering VCC_AC maximum voltage:
Therefore, R106 and R107 are 374 Ω/0.5 W resistors.
Note:
Use the above formulas to recalculate resistor values in case of schematic use in another design with a different
ambient temperature.
