sorry for being absent so long. Unfortunately this year started with a very serious motor bike accident of my youngest son. After a week of varying fear and hope he just starts regaining conscious and we are happy he will fully recover. Those facts just for explanation.
I were not able to follow threads but searched for mentioning my name and here are some humble answers / contributions:
1. The temperature sensor A1, A2 .... have preprogrammed I2C addresses from factory. There is no means for altering it by pins or programming. Not all types are readily awailable by sellers. But do not worry: buy what you can get. All types are OK but you are not allowed to operate two of same type at the bus.
In SW it shall be a parameter available for adapting I2C address.
2. Please do not confuse these gate resistors to be extremely essential for standard use. I am so sorry I caused this confusion.
For standard use a value between 10 Ohm and 33 Ohm will do well (in order to prevent spurious oscillations - they act like electric shock absorbers. For safe operation start with 33 Ohm and check for heat while operating. If FETs experience heat check if i.e. 22 Ohm operate with less heat.
Standard resistors you have around might be OK for first tests (i.e. type 207). For tuning please refer to various posts I wrote before.
For explanation: Most of you comprehend elecronic circuits as near to static operation. Nevertheless every component and wire owns genuine properties in higher frequency range - normally neglected. This mihgt be of no importance for 1Khz / 10A / 36V.
Imagine it like: opening and closing a door of a car - static operation! But if you operate it it will emit very genuine sounds and vibration - not important for a baby car but essential if you spend 100K$ for a PORSCHE. They tune every sond of the car in order to get perfection. Additionally they built in special sound hoses form intake of the engine to the dashboard in order to please the ear of their customers. (BTW: They once forgot a cup holder - a nogo for North America
)Now back to electronics: Please comprehend a FET / driver system and any component as some conglomerate or artwork built out of pendulums, rubber strings and springs... (or oscillating sheet metal of a car door - if you want)..... Any movement will affect all others. If we approach to limits like 100A / 500V at monster driver those effects need to be taken in account in order to increase efficiency and prevent premature death of components.
At moment this tuning might apply to Midaztouch' bike only.
3. Driving FETs from SDC276
For first dirty but effective approach I recommend to add a 555 inbetween SDC276 and FETs. All those comprehensions from beginning of this thread still hold. Any usual n-FET will be pleased to get 10V....15V at gate for fully ON operation. The load volatga might be 26V....50V
It is very difficult ot give general and dead safe rules. I am willing to give further recommendations for well specified environment like A / V / Hz need of opto isolation .....

@Mihai: No, I do not live in your country but was born there more than 40 years ago ....... suffering severely on Ceacescu and his mafia gang ...... his "NSA" was far more effective.....but we escaped and survived
- not him!!!JS
