Mosfet High Side Switching

With our switch portfolio you can find a protection solution for your inductive capacitive and resistive loads ensuring your design is scalable and robust.

Mosfet high side switching.

Driver ic s are often used for high current mosfets and when using fast switching rates due to the mosfet needing brief but high currents to change state. Circuit diagram of mosfet as high side switch 1 dual power supply this method is very simple but it needs two power source. 2 using bootstrap circuit in this method a single power source is needed using some capacitor in the circuit. Often mosfets require a 1 2a drive to achieve switching efficiently at frequencies of hundreds of kilohertz.

In this method the voltage is applied. N channel p channel 15. One fault common to such circuits has been the excessive crossover current during switching that may occur if the gate drive allows both mosfets to be on simultaneously. For an n channel mosfet the source connects to ground and the drain connects to the negative side of the load.

Mosfet as a switch. Here the operating conditions of the transistor are zero input gate voltage v in zero drain current i d and output voltage. A high side p channel mosfet and a low side n channel mosfet tied with common drains figure 5 make a superb high current ªcmos equivalentº switch. With adjustable current limit high accuracy current sense and a wide range of rdsons our smart high side switches provide the optimal solution for your specific use case.

This transistor connects between v and the load.
