I noticed in this sheet that it mentioned a rise time of 20nS and a fall time of 55nS. Does that mean that we are safe to switch in this time frame, or would we be generating huge voltage spikes on the 150uH inductors? If we could do 66nS switching time, for example, we could increase that current by 30 times, so you'd be pushing 1.5A into them... Not sure how safe that is for spiking, though... that leads to a conversation about GS capacitors, which i believe that you are not using in the controller.
