Hi,
I am routing a fet's gate drive trace, from a fet driver IC. The switching frequency is 100kHz and I would like switch times of 20ns. Is it better to run the gate drive trace "differentially" so that there is a wire coming back from the fets drain very close to the gate drive trace, back to the fet driver IC, or is it better to use a ground plane for the fet's drain (for a low side fet) and run the gate drive signal on the opposite side of the board above the plane? Which solution has lower gate drive trace inductance and which would give faster switching with less ringing?
cheers, Jamie
