I love to cook with wine.      Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I'm trying to figure out how to use 2 N-Channel power MOSFET?s for phase control without a bridge rectifier. (reducing diode power losses) A possibility is to use a a power diode in series with a N-channel MOSFET in parallel with a reverse diode with reverse N-channel mosfet. Does anyone here have an idea about a circuit for driving the second mosfet?

thx

Connect the FET's sources together. One drain to the supply voltage. The other drain to the load. Drive the gates in parallel with respect to the sources.

Yeah, like that. Except I thought it might be good to drive the gates with respect to the source(s) rather than with respect to common.

But, yeah.

Thanks, Jim.

How do i drive the gates if i connect the 2 sources togheter ? I would like to drive the gates with a microcontroller. How do you create a floating voltage?
