Hello Everyone,
A few months back i had completed a solar charge controller project,with all of your help ')
But there were a few problems with my circuit,i would like to start rectifying those issues as i am now making another charger with a higher rating.
One major mistake was using the IR2110,as a gate driver(high side and low side).
It was suggested that this was not a suitable gate driver as it is mostly used in induction motor drive systems.
In my new design i would like to use only one N channel mosfet(or a parallel combinations of the mosfet to increase current ratings),on the lower side so that the gate driver has the same ground as a reference as the rest of the circuit.(so that there is no separate charge pump circuit required.)
Could you please suggest me a suitable gate driver,my input to the gate driver would be from a PIC 3.3 to 5v and gate driver output should be 12volts.
I have made a crude hand drawing of what i need if that helps.
Thanks in advance,
AK
