Please Suggest,
I am designing a solar charge controller , I want to make common
ground of solar panel & battery and switching(Disconnect on full charge or PWM to control current) h-side i.e positive
terminal of the solar Panel by using a MOSFET,
The problem I m facing is that the I don't have sufficient Gate voltage to properly tun On the MOSFET becouse the Mosfet source is +Vbat i.e 12V above the ground.
I have found there are some driver ICs based on charge pump.
Please provide economical and reliable solutions.
Thanks

Let me make sure I have this right. You say that YOU are designing something for a problem that is posted in the Homework Help forum, but you want US to provide "economical and reliable solutions" for you.

Hmmm.....

No.

Now, if you post YOUR attempt to solve YOUR problem, we would be more than happy to assist YOU find YOUR way to a solution to YOUR problem.
