I need to trigger a CD4053 with an Arduino. The CD4053 (16 DIP) requires a minimum of 2/3's Vdd (2/3 of 12Vdc or 8 Vdc in my case) to trigger. This is obviously a transistor solution but i am unclear how to route it. I am relatively new, but in my past use of transistors the load is always between the + and collector for a NPN and the collector and - for PNP. I don't see how to put an IC between the two? I don't think it will work with a NPN so I have attached a simplified spice diagram with a PNP connected in the manner i think required - does this look right?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
