Hi everyone I am trying to get a floating output of 24v from a 5v TTL level from my PIC and I thought a transistor pair would be adequate, as shown below. However, I always see 24v on the output of the PNP despite lightly loading it.
Is this a situation where I would be better off with a half bridge or have I done something wrong?
Also why do I measure 0.6v at the base of the NPN despite the micro being low?
Thank you.
