Suppose I have this 12 by 12volt battery bank for ~163v.
I have Mosfet that are going to be using this full voltage, but
my control circuity is rated to 18v max or something like that.
What would be a few ways to reduce this voltage to safe levels for the
Op-amps, 555s, etc?
One what I was thinking was a couple transistors used as a voltage divider.
Would a transistor oscillator used as a PWM signal for a Mosfet be acceptable
to drop this voltage?
I'd like to try to build my own for this rather than use a buck converter thing.
But I'm just collecting ideas at this point.
BTW the control circuity would be low current, less then 2-3amps max, and
if I needed to keep it fairly stable I could drop that to as low as 100-200mA
for the voltage divider to stay within safe limits. Oh, and I would like the
voltage to remain between 12 and 18v. I guess I could use a voltage
regulator after a voltage divider or something. But ya. I don't know..
tnx
