PRODUCTION DATA.
Use gate series resistors to slow the turn-on transient of the power FET, if needed. Because the device switches large currents, a fast turn-on transient time potentially risks switch-node ringing. Slowing down the turn-on transient time reduces the edge steepness of the drain current waveform, The reduction of the edge steepness results in a reduction of the induced inductive ringing. A resistance of a few Ohms typically suffices.
