Hi,
I need to provide a high side load switch for a power supply coming from a battery...
i.e. 12V Battery > High side switch> DC voltage at Load rated at 5A
The load switch should be able to detect open/short, over load conditions.
My question is if I’m using an N channel device then I should use some sort of charge pump driver that will be switched by some PWM signal...
Then I should drive it with 100% duty maybe I dunno since it is a power supply output to sensors,dc dc converters etc..
My concern is that by doing so is
1. Will it give a clean supply or will I be adding switching noise to my otherwise clean 12V?(leaving transients and other issues)
2. Will 100% or close duty cycle will cause some problems in high side N channel driver??
Will the mosfet turn on will get affected?
So Is there a better solution with an integrated P channel mosfet high side driver with continuous ON time may be no PWM necessary??
Thanks for any help,
Regards
