Paul, you're a machine. The gate charge is 50-70nC (a coulomb is a direct measure of the number of electrons... with some huge scalar like 8.3x10^8 or something... maybe that's the speed of light... i dunno... been a while) Anyway, 1C/sec is 1A.

So, 0.050uC in 1uS = 0.05A... Does this seem wrong? Paul, are these mosfets little wussy things compared to your controller?

Oh yeah, it is 0.05A PER mosfet, so if you have 10, then you need 500mA... which strikes me as being really small.
