Hi everyone,
I'm working on a brushless motor controller, and I'm currently picking out drivers for my 6 power mosfets. I'm choosing all n-channel mosfets, and to drive the three mosfets configured as high-side switches, I found the LTC1163, a triple high-side driver.
Here's the issue at hand: to fully turn on my power mosfets (30N06L), I need about 10 [v], which the LTC1163 can do just fine. Although it's sold as a high-side driver, can I just use two of these LTC1163s to generate the input signals for both the three high and low-side mosfets?
The LTC1163 actually states: "high or low-side applications," but I want to double-check to see if there's anything that I might be missing since the datasheet only has an example circuit of the high-side configuration.
(I'm hoping that this is the case; that way I can just feed in inputs from an FPGA or microcontroller to turn on the 6 power mosfets.)
Here are the datasheets:

Thanks for any tips!
