Drive circuit for mosfet

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UC1825

In TI application notes, it is recommended to put series resistor between the UC1825 output and Gate of the MOSFET. Since it dissipates power and makes the turn off slower,

i have modified the gate drive by removing the resistor and replacing it with a schottky diode. and a PNP transistor to discharge the Ciss of MOSFET faster. It improved my efficiency by 2.5%.

I just wanted to know whether this drive will have any adverse effect on the  UC1825 or the MOSFET (IRFN240)

I will be thankful if you give me a reply at the earliest
