Resolved - Need more help with high side switching.
I have it working correctley now ... thanks.
I have built this circuit and it does not work. It immediately burn out R3 which is a 4 ohm 1/2 watt resistor. I replaced it with a 5 watt and it gets hot but the circuit still does not work. Where am I going wrong?
What I am trying to do is provide +12volts to a motorcycle horn that draws about 6 amps. The FET is a P-channel FQU11P06TU and it is rated at 30v - 10 amps.
Thanks ... if I have it wrong please draw it for me!
