I am using Vcc 12v and have a CD4022 giving 8 bits output. Each of the outputs needs to be connected to a DYHV20T PLAYER module. This module gives out 3.3v. These signals each need grounding but only 1 at a time.
I plan on using mosfets driven by the 12v signals given out by the CD4022. I have plenty of IRLZ44's N type (that I do not mind blowing up), but I am unsure of a recognised schematic. Need to be in open-drain MOSFET configuration, whatever that means??
Do I need 12v onto drain or would the 3.3v suffice, and being pulled to earth?
