High Side Switch Arduino. Obviously the gpios of a 3 3 or 5v arduino can t accomplish this task alone. The opposite of the low side switch is the high side switch.
Resting on the low side of the load this configuration is called as a low side driver. This post describes a circuit utilizing two bipolar junction transistors bjts to accomplish switching 15ma of nominal 12v from a 3 3v arduino gpio. Since the transistor is switching the path to ground i e.

Obviously the gpios of a 3 3 or 5v arduino can t accomplish this task alone. This post describes a circuit utilizing two bipolar junction transistors bjts to accomplish switching 15ma of nominal 12v from a 3 3v arduino gpio. Typically these use a pnp bjt or p channel mosfet. This transistor connects between v and the load.
