RE: DRV8301: Protection of DRV8301 and MOSFETS

Hi Roman,

The discrete components included in the top schematic you linked are uneeded for the DRV8305.

In section 7.3.8.3.2 (Page 27) of the DRV8305 datasheet outlines the different integrated gate driver protection features that are included in the device. Over voltage protection is one of the features, meaning the diodes on the MOSFET gates are uneeded.

The DRV8305 also includes a hard pull down on the MOSFET gates called "TDRIVE". This integrated pull down means the external pulldown resistor is not needed.

Finally the DRV8305 has a feature called "IDRIVE", which is a scalable source / sink MOSFET gate drive current setting. Using this feature there is not a need for an external series current limiting resistor.
