Hello,
I am turning on/off the mosfet slide switch from a microcontroller, that is powered by a coin battery.
The problem in my setting is Q3, having built in bias resistors, provides a 20kohm escape route for the gate voltage to ground, which drains number of microamps, which upsets my scheme.
I have replaced the BJT transistor, (Q3) by yet another mosfet, BSS138. And it seems to work well, is able to switch the p-channel mosfets Q1,Q2, without drawing any continious current, since the gate of mosfet acts capacitive.
I am requesting your comments on the subject. What could go wrong with the replacement.
Best Regards,
C.
