DRV8301: MOS drive peripheral circuit design issue

Hi Team,

Regarding the 2 designs of recommended design of the datasheet and the development board: 

1) The gate resistor provides a low-resistance bleed-off path for the shutdown current and reduces the turn-off time.

2) A parallel resistor between the GS poles of MOS provides a path for the discharge of the GS junction capacitance and prevents false turn-on. 

Could you please help elaborate more on the design purpose and its usage? Thanks.

Best Regards,

Cherry
