The driver gate to source monitor timeout (tDRIVE) should be configured to allow sufficient time for the external MOSFETs to charge and discharge for the selected IDRIVE gate current. By default, the setting is 8us which is sufficient for many systems. The determine an appropriate tDRIVE value, Equation 9 can be utilized.
Using the input design parameters as an example, we can calculate the approximate values for tDRIVE.
Based on these calculations a value of 8 us was chosen for tDRIVE.
