The Mosfets are of course not 5V-types, they > need >>10V at their gates. If you don't mind a few glue parts consider multiple versions of the driver cct I posted a day or two ago. Key questions are, - are these low side FETs (presumably)? - Switch how fast? - What supply voltage for FETs? - What load? - What power levels? 'My' (time honoured) circuit will meet most needs well and cheaply. Parts count per channel - 2 x small NPN, 3 x R, 1 x Z, 1 x D,1 x cap (optional). Very amenable to SMT implementation. See recent post for notes. I'll post it again - 'only' 3K.
