Boy, I've/we've been thru all this stuff already. Yes - 25 vs. 25V - no problems, like Halo pointed out.
If you check Richard's parts kit for his new BLFDD17m v 1.11 driver (mtnelectronics.com v1.11 kit), you'll find he uses a 40-60 K ohm resistor on the FET gate - I've been using 12K with the SIR800DP's and the Tiny85, 85V or 85 - makes no difference. My thinking was the lower the resistor, the less possible impact but I could be totally wrong - I'd trust Richard more on this.
My own opinion is I believe the zener he uses in his design is probably a superior solution to the flakiness we've had with 25/45/85 drivers, probably a better solution than what I've done with extra caps, or what Manker/BangGood did on their 25 based driver, which is using a 12 uF cap, not a 10 uF cap btw.
Little history -- Manker/BangGood had problems getting the driver working, so TK asked me about it. I recommended to TK what I've been doing to get reliability out of the 25/45/85 drivers, boost the 10 uF cap or add a 0.1 uF cap between GRND and VCC of the MCU.
Next thing you know, the driver worked and X5/X6's started shipping with no word back from them what they did. Of course I had to know - it looked like our standard known parts, but I pulled the C1 cap and tested it - it's actually 12 uF, not 10 uF. So, their "fix" was from what I recommended, but instead of going with 20 uf (2 10's in parallel), they apparently got it working with one 12 uF cap.
I published/posted this fact of the 12 uF caps, but didn't get much of a response, so dunno, probably lost in the jungle of topic changes in the big thread... Pretty sure TK is aware of this now - think she responded.
I would definitely trust Richard's designs and parts he uses, and superior tracing layouts. If you look at resistors, caps, etc. on any of the popular major source sites like Mouser or Digikey, you will find tighter tolerances and better spec'd parts generally cost more. 1% resistor will typically be more $$$ than 5% resistors. You should see what difference it makes on current sensor resistors, where the better ones costs dollars, not pennies. I'd trust Richard is buying the better more reliable parts from known sources, like Mouser, as opposed to China sources where they buy the cheapest on the market, which will probably be the worse parts as well.
I bought these recently: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=ERA-6AEB6983Vvirtualkey66720000virtualkey667-ERA-6AEB6983V, and in qty 10 they cost 25 cents each, which is very high for a resistor, but a tolerance of 0.1% is incredibly good.
