I want to make a 5 level using H-bridge. I have made H-bridge using MOSFETS and it works. My problem comes when adding output of these two H-bridges to get 5 voltage levels. I am adding the outputs like we join two batteries in series but for some reason it is not working with my circuit. Can anyone help me with this?

In case someone comes in future and sees it. You need to give negative voltage to gate of P-MOSFET instead of ground to turn it ON. Doing that will make it work.
