Hi there,
I have no experience with transistors. How do you use them? I just bought three IRL520N N-ch MOSFET transistors, and I noticed they all have just three pins coming out from them? I'm confused. I have a +5v source coming through that I need to kick up to a 12V source with plenty of current, I am bringing the 12V through another part of my circuit... So basically there is a PIC that outputs 5v on one pin, and then it will hit the transistor, the transistor boosts it up to 12V with plenty of current, and then the LEDs will get their power from the transistor.
But with only three pins? How does this happen?
Thanks!
