While designing the ups circuits mosfet were used in the inverter circuits.
High side switch transistor.
A gate driver is a specially designed circuit that is used to drive the gate of mosfet or.
It consists of a mosfet a gate driver with charge pump and multiple protection and diagnosis features.
We ll need a more complex circuit to implement a practical high side power on switch.
For driving the mosfet in high side configuration ir2110 gate driver ic was used.
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 time however the emitter is tied high.
Typically these use a pnp bjt or p channel mosfet.
Ir2110 is a high low side gate driver ic which is used with power mosfet and igbt.
All the circuits had similar topologies.
In addition several protection features are integrated.
The opposite of the low side switch is the high side switch.
Because of how transistors work these can be a little more difficult to use in an arduino or raspberry pi circuit.
Alternatively we can use a pnp transistor to create a high side switch.
Profet protected field effect transistors is our high side smart power switch brand.
For example short circuit protection can protect the mosfet if a short to ground battery occurs.
The circuit above is called a low side switch because the switch our transistor is on the low ground side of the circuit.
This transistor connects between v and the load.
Which means that pnp transistor shown in the first image will always be on regardless of the i o pin state.
The mosfet were used as high side switches in the circuit.
Since the switching element the transistor was at ground it.
With our switch portfolio you can find a protection solution for your inductive capacitive and resistive loads ensuring your design is scalable and robust.
Part 7 covered using transistors to switch loads that require higher currents or voltages than the microcontroller can handle.
