Why does the PWM signals amplitude drop once connected to low-side n-mosfet switch?
I am applying a 3.3 V pwm signal to a circuit similar to the following (Credit: Olin Lathrop):
I am using an IRLR024N N-MOSFET, which switches if i connect the gate to the 3V3 pin of my ...

How to isolate a RLC circuit with MOSFET switches?
I'd like to isolate, with high-side and low-side switches, a RLC circuit after the inductor has been energized with a current of 2-3A from a 12V source (see sketch).
When the RLC circuit is isolated ...

Measuring pwm output from low side FET with oscilloscope
I have a n channel MOSFET controlling a high current LED panel. The FET is driven by a FET driver, which is itself driven by a MCU pin. I am using PWM to control the LED brightness.
I want to double ...

Can I drive a Low-Side MOSFET from a High-Side Driver?
I'm working on a power electronics project where it involves driving 4 different MOSFETs, (3 HighSide and 1 LowSide). Rather than using a different IC for the LowSide driver, I am thinking about using ...

Current sense amplifier for high voltage (100-150V) low current (20 mA) application [closed]
I have an application where I need to measure the current on a relatively high voltage rail. The problem is that the current on the rail is quite low, only about 20 mA.
Because of the high voltage, ...

Low-Side Switch MOSFET Drain Voltage Drop in OFF state?
I'm trying to replace a normally open switch with a low-side switch mosfet. The drain of the mosfet is connected to an input pin of a non-modifiable 3.3V MCU.
Prior to my changes to the setup the ...

high side vs low side current sensing in isolated bench power supplies, does it matter?
I'm trying to make a couple of mains isolated, transformer based, bench power supplies. Considering that the current sense resistor will be in the PSU box and external loads will not have access to ...
