N-MOS voltage drop at DS

Hi,

Just want to ask is it normal to have a high voltage drop across drain and source of the n-mos?
The VBAT node is at 3.6V while the VDD_MAIN node is at 2.7V. Gate voltage is at 3.37V.

No. The circuit is intended to switch the VBAT to VDD_MAIN. But I did not consider the voltage drop of N-MOS. How to compensate it so I will have exactly 3.6V at VDD_MAIN?
Then you want to use a P channel MOSFET and ground the gate when you want the transistor turned on.

But I will not be able to use the Magnetic on switch then as to trigger the VBAT to VDD? and redirect the magnetic on output to IC.
You can't use an N MOSFET to do what you want. That would require a sufficiently large Vgs to turn the device on and have a low on resistance.

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the info. So I have to revise my design then. Or use just use buck converter instead.
