MOSFET for higher voltages (30-40 V)

Hi everybody,

For switching my flipdots I finally decided to use a capacitive-discharge approach. It currently works fine when using with the attached schematic and a voltage of 24 V. For switching the voltages I use DMG6602-SVT.



Now I want to increase the supply voltage to something between 30 V and 40 V. According to the data sheet the DMG6602-SVT has a breakdown voltage of 30 V, so I'm looking for alternatives. I was thinking of something like the DMP4025LSD for the P-Channel and BSS123 for the N-Channel MOSFET. DMP4025LSD has a breakdown voltage of 40 V which should be fine, however the maximum gate-source voltage is +- 20 V. Also almost all other P-Channel I found with higher breakdown voltage have a similar maximum gate-source voltage. How can I use them in a similar setup?

Yansi:
How is that circuit supposed to work? You are not only using unsafe supply voltage (V is littel too much for a 30V fet), not mentioning the Vgs maximum voltage rating, that you are already exceeding.

What is this circuit supposed to do?

magic:
Big distributors like mouser or digikey have comprehensive databases and parametric search which will allows you to find thousands of FETs with just about any parameter you may desire, as long as such parts exist.

That being said, MOSFET gates are quite delicate so 30V rating is somewhat uncommon and more than that is very rare. Add 10k resistors at the drains of the N-FETs and then the P-FETs will see only half the supply voltage at their gates.

Charge and Pulse are controlled by the µC to charge and discharge the capacitor. The output on the right is VCC for an UDN2981/TBD62783 transistor array which is then connected to the flipdots.

Yansi:
I still don't understand the purpose of this circuit.  What is this circuit good for, in a flipdot driver?
