Voltage clamp

Post by Denver »

Hi,
Is it possible to have 2 separate mosfits controlled by S5 operating 2 separate resistors. This would give a safe guard if there was a fault in one circuit. Are I worrying about nothing or is this an idea that sounds like it would work.
Thanks

The drive capacity of the signal pin is low. It will slow down the switching time some(takes longer to charge the mosfet gates). But it should work. Make sure you use logic level mosfets or the one we recommend in the forum announcement.
