Hi guys,
I have been using MOSFET's for years and all the schematics that I see have the MOSFET's connected as shown in schematic 1 below and I have followed this method/rule/convention of connecting the MOSFET with the load between the Vcc and the MOSFET Drain.
But I am just curious and have not tried it, but can a circuit be connected as in schematic 2 with the load between the GND and the MOSFET source?
If it is possible to connect it as in schematic 2, why is it that all schematics are shown as in schematic 1 - or is it just a convention that people use?
