Driving the gate of an IRFZ44N from an Arduino pin, there seems to be two schools of thought as to where the "pull-down" resistor should go, either before the series resistor, or after it, directly on the gate of the MOSFET.
I have done my PCB design such that I can do either, and both methods work.
Anyone have any thoughts as to the "best", "preferred", or "correct" location ?
EDIT : This is a PWM motor speed control application.
