Hello,

I have PIC12F629 and want with I/O port drive IRFP450. I attached wiring diagram.
With IRFP450 I want to drive 230V~ regular bulb 100W. Can I drive IRFP450 directly?

Is my wiring diagram OK?

thanks

If that's 230V *AC*, then I think you need to first read the AAC ebooks before you start designing this circuit. ;)

Even if it's DC, you'll be better off using a driver (discrete or chip) for the MOSFET, if for no other reason than so a failure doesn't pop your PIC.
