Hi there,
When driving af MOSFET gate with a driver IC like the TC426CPA through a 4k7 resistor, how important is the high side/low side thing anyway? The high side MOSFET will open with almost the same amount of current as the low side MOSFET, so why bother buying a high sided or a low sided driver IC?
By the way isn't it possible to just flip a N-channel MOSFET vertically and power it on the source pin and it'll work like a P-channel, so you only need to buy one type?
