    Half-bridge gate drive for off-the-shelf LED strips PWM dimming

    thank you both, I think I'll go with your solution betwixt. But I intended to source current, is it ok to sink up to 14 Amps? I read somewhere that it is better to cut Vcc than to cut GND? And the transition time of the NMOS would be fast? Or it doesn't matter?

    Half-bridge gate drive for off-the-shelf LED strips PWM dimming

    Is it feasible or recommended to dim the LEDs like this? Or there is any easier, safer or cheaper way? I'd like to use 20+KHz PWM to avoid audible ripple.

    [SOLVED] dual NPN and a Diode driveing a P-Channel MOSFET

    For me cost is the problem, the circuit e in the picture costs about 10 - 15 cents.

    [SOLVED] dual NPN and a Diode driveing a P-Channel MOSFET

    Yes, I was trying to speed up the fall time of the FET

    [SOLVED] dual NPN and a Diode driveing a P-Channel MOSFET

    Hello, I've ran simulations with this driver circuitry, tested it in my bench, and is working nicely, but I've never seen this configuration before. If this topology have a name, what is it called? And what cautions should I take? I only need a max of 500Hz.

    high side PWM switching, to control LEDs separately

    Yeah, saw that, that was a quick sketch and forgot to "annotate", also added the resistor on the drain, thank you.

    high side PWM switching, to control LEDs separately

    Thank you for your response, I was worried with that, gonna need to change some things in my design

    high side PWM switching, to control LEDs separately

    I'm having a hard time figuring if this is the correct way of doing this, I want to control N number of leds enable by a microcontroller.
