One of the reasons I was concerned, I saw some guy had a problem where the MOSFET never would turn fully off.
By "10k input gate-to-sorce pulldown" do you mean a 10k resistor from the MOSFET gate pin to MOSFET source pin? I think I saw a drawing where there was a 10k resistor from get to ground, is that wrong?
Why would 220 ohm resistor protect the mosfet? From voltage spikes? Will the MOSFET fully saturate/turn on if I use this resistor?
Thanks for the replies
