Integrating I=CdV/dt over region t3
(note: voltage swings from Vin to 0)
Qgd = Cgd × Vin
Qg = Ciss × (0.9 × Vdrive) + Qg
Qgs = Ciss ×
Separating region t3, applying C=Q/V at
point circled, then introducing t3 again

Note: Idrive is the
current through Rdrive
Note: Coss (or Cds) cannot be determined
from gate charge factors for that we nee
to separately consult the tables or curves
