Q: MOSFET high frequency gate driving

Pierre For a custom MCU driven boost converter I'm trying to drive a power MOSFET IRF520N at 700kHz. In order to reduce RdsOn and switching losses I have added a logic MOSFET 2N7000 to drive the gate at 12V from a 3.3V PWM signal. The power MOSFET gate is pulled up by a low value resistor in order to re...
