R111 + 14 mA =

220 + 8 mA = 12.5 mA
Considering this current value and the VCC_AC minimum voltage, the gate resistor calculation is:
R103 + R104 =
V R103 + R104
IG min
=
VCC_AC min + VGT max − VCEsat
IG min
= 13 + 1 − 0.3
12.5 × 10−3
= 1096 Ω
The nearest normalized values are 560 Ω.
You can calculate maximum power in the resistors considering the VCC_AC maximum voltage:
IG max =
V R103 + R104
R103 + R104 =
VCC_AC min + VGT max − VCEsat
R103 + R104
= 21 + 1 − 0.3
1120
= 19 mA
PR103 = R103 × IG max
2
= 0.21 W
Therefore, R103 and R104 are 560 Ω/0.5 W resistors.
Note:
Use the above formulas to recalculate resistor values in case of schematic use in another design with a different
ambient temperature.
