Thanks a lot Ioannis for waking me up. I've completely forgotten that often Mosfets do not need much current to switch them on/off.Name: STP60 12v 7_52A load.jpg Views: 6602 Size: 212.7 KB Attached is the oscillogram showing some delay on switch_OFF. The FET is driven by PIC through 10k and 330R respectively.
I've got a question then. In what situation would one need a 3A FET driver. Considering 5/330 = 0.015A does a pretty good job as seen above.
