Need Help on Using FET as a Switch
To explain the kind of switching I'm trying to achieve, let me give a background story first 😁 I'm currently working on a project of making a carbon monoxide concentration meter using an MQ-7 sensor. This particular sensor needs a unique kind of voltage for its inner heater circuit: it needs a periodic voltage with 60 seconds of 5 V, and 90 seconds of 1.4 V, then repeat.
I plan on using a microcontroller to control the voltage given to the FET in line with the periodic pattern explained above. At first I planned on using a BJT as the voltage switch but my lecturer suggested on using FET instead.
An article on using FET as a switch that I understood most was this: #-Link-Snipped-# However, that article and the other ones I read only explained how to switch between a voltage and 0 voltage, so I'm a bit unsure as to how to switch between two different voltages instead (5V and 1.4 V). Is there a way of achieving this using a similar circuit?
Thank you in advance 😀
