I would like to protect the gate of of mosfet. It has a +-15V GS rating. I am driving it at 12V max with a driver. What voltage of a zener diode should I place reverse biased at the gate?
I have heard the a zener will usually start conducting before its zenner voltage. So, I dont want this to be a problem. On the other hand, I dont want to get to close to the 15V rating, as to avoid damage.
What is a good value?
