Hello,
AP2191 p-channel
BD2268 n-channel
I have two high side switching I am experimenting with and in both cases I am not getting what I expect (good change my expectations are wrong). The pin out is different between the two parts, but they are connected the same, the picture below. I am using 10uF caps on the inputs and outputs, however, I get the same results with or without the caps. The load is a resistor in order to draw ~1A. To toggle the enable pin in both cases, I am using a wire to either short to ground or to Vin, 3.3V. In both cases my output voltage is ~2.5 V leading to a current draw of only ~750mA. Both datasheets claim on-state resistances of less than 200 mOhms so its confusing me to see such a voltage drop across the switch. Any suggestions or advice as to why these high-side switches are acting like this would be much appricated.
Thanks,
Sami
