I've been tasked to upgrade a board to provide higher current MOSFETs to control a foil type heater and a door solenoid. I've had little experience with MOSFETs, but understand how they work. Here are my questions:
Will this driver (IXYS IXDN404SI) be able to activate either of these FETs (Fairchild FDT55AN06LA0 or ON-Semi NIF5003N)? Not sure of the cycle time for the Heater but the door solenoid will open for 1sec then close, open for another 1 sec then shut down the system.
2nd question more basic. How do you select the series resistor on the gate side of the MOSFET? What are the criteria that you look at?
