Is there a way of protecting a typical MOSFET driver IC from being
taken out by a MOSFET failure in a Class E LF amp?

Hi Chris,

It can be helpful to use a RF transformer between driver and FET. This also allows you to have negative voltages during the OFF period. Even with rectangular voltages and a high Ciss of a few nF, it works well.
I'm using a ferrite core between an IXDD414CI and 4xIRFP460
