This application is simply a power switch, so there is no high frequency
switching going on.  In some reference designs I've seen both a mosFET
driver being used, and in other cases a smaller FET used to drive the gate
on the power device.  So what the better solution, or is there
one...ie....either one will work, so becomes more of a cost issue...whats
cheaper to manufacture? I know the PIC can't drive it direct, that of course
would be the simpilest and cheapest
