Hi,
I need to control the power supply of a couple of devices at about 400mA. I've been looking at what is done on the MCB2300 from Kiel:
http://www.keil.com/mcb2300/mcb2300-schematics.pdf (page 3)
They use a mosfet to control the supply of the SD card. However, they do not interface the mosfet directly to the microcontroller, they use a bipolar in between...
Anybody could explain why? Any way to interface directly with a mosfet? I really want to keep the part number down.
Thanks!
Jean
