Hey all I am trying to find an IC that can accommodate having 2 inputs but only one output depending on what I send via a PIC18fxxxx micro controller. This sounds like it would be a DPST but I can't really find anything like that I can control from a PIC to choose what output needs to be on.

The 5vdc and 12vdc will be to power a PC FAN. The 5 and 12vdc will be coming from the PC PSU.

A 12vdc fan is around 0.25A ~4W
A 5vdc fan is around 0.18A ~2W

So something like so:

                    |------|
    ---5vdc-in----->|  IC  |
    ---12vdc-in---->|  ?   |-----5 or 12vdc-out-->
    ---PIC pin-in-->|      |
                    |------|

Or better visually is this:

The PIC pin would control the IC to let it know which voltage to output.

Does anyone know if this type of IC exists? I'll need to be able to do 10 outputs all together.

 

You could use a CD4066 quad switch, you would need to use two gates to make a change over switch, but its limit is 10mA.

Would you mind drawing a schematic as to how mine would look using this?

 

Here is one switch based on the 4066 and an inverter gate, Each 4066 would give you two such switches.

 

Same as above, but using two pic outputs complimentary instead of the inverter gate, so one goes high the other goes low, vice-versa....

Could you go ahead and draw that up for me please?

And thanks for the drawing djsfantasi!
