Hi - I need to drive a fairly power hungry circuit (I think a couple
hundred ma, but I'm not positive just yet on that) from the output of a 555
in astable mode. My first thought was a darlington transistor or a mosfet.
Does that seem sensible? I don't know what speed it will be operating at
just yet (haven't been told), but I get the feeling it should be fairly
fast, probabaly in the MHz range, and I'm not sure if high power
darlingtons or fets can operate that fast. So, I was wondering if somebody
here might be able to lend me a little guidance? A part number would be
great, as I have to admit I'm slightly new to electronics (I'm a second
year EE at UIUC)
Thanks!
