I got a Pulse Width Modulation signal of 5.3V but i need to change the signal voltage to 10V-12V..... But i dont know how to convert the signal voltage anyone can help me
Thanks in Advance

A little bit more information.... Is the original 'signal' a fairly low current? (<10mA) Is the expected output to be unchanged except for its height? Is the output expected to drive any significant load? (>10mA) Do you have a voltage source available?

Do you want to use the energy from the PWM to provide the energy in the 12v signal?

I created a PWM from microcontroller it gives me output 5.3V. I need to pass the PWM to Gate Driver. Gate Driver needs min of 10V to produce output but i have 5.3v. How to convert it. The input which is giving to Gate Driver is signal so i need something which input is signal 5V converts 10-12V

Easiest way is to just amplify it, if you have about 12VDC available. A suitable opamp configured as a non-inverting amplifier should do the job.

Have you considered a logic level MOSFET?
