Source voltage 12v (car battery - Vehicle is negative ground.)
Control with Arduino mega - Logic 5v
Driving Hydraulic solenoids x 16 Amperage of each individual 1.4amps
I have designed 3 or 4 circuits so far using Mosfets.
N channel mosfets work well, but switching low side and in practice could be a problem for -ve ground
P channel works well but logic levels are problematic.
I have completed the circuit also with 2n2222 instead of the N channel, and driven the P channel with this and this works great too.
I am currently driving a P channel mosfet with a N channel and this works great, Does anyone know of a replacement for this circuit, instead of 2 separate mosfets would a complimentary pair work in this setup and if so recommendation of a part number ?
Or am I over thinking the entire thing. Sometimes its great to take a back step, hence why I am reaching out.
