I'm trying to drive some mosfets to control a motor. I have it working with one mosfet, but I would like to hook 2 or more in parallel because the motor requires alot of current.
Can I just hook all of the gates to the CCP1 pin or do I need something better?

I'm using a 16f877A by the way.


EDIT:well, I was using a 16f877A...apparently it doesnt like being on the same board as my mosfets....so what do I need to do in the future to prevent this from happening???
 
isolate. optocouplers come to mind...
 
Pay more attention to grounding and layout.
