      From: BobEngelhardt@comcast.net              jurb & default - thanks for your replies. I will go with a relay, but I       did find an interesting transistor solution. It uses 2 serial MOSFET's       head-to-head (or "back-to-back", or "anti-serial") with a common gate       signal. When one MOSFET is on, the other is conducting through its body       diode.              This is appealing for it's elegance, but also for the good MOSFET       availability, they can be driven with logic, reliable, small, ... . But       the relay is fail-safe - NC contacts conduct even with no power to the       logic.              Thanks again              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
