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