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.
if charge pump is good solution for the same,please provide me some info on charge pump ckts.
Please provide economical and reliable solutions.
Thanks a lot
