hello all,
Before going to test my three phase inverter with a 400VDC...... i want to test it with 9VDC. The gate pulses are of 12VDC magnitude coming out from a IR2110 (high & low side driver). The pulse sequence fashion is correct in oscilloscope....... but both the mosfets in a leg are conducting simultaneously.....
is there any rule to have vgs < Vds?

I don't think you have your load connected properly. It should be connected between the top Fet's Source and the bottom Fet's Drain. Your 9V supply should be connected between the top Fet's Drain and ground. Have you looked at the IR2110.pdf? It shows a typical hookup.

There may be other errors that I missed.
