The gate threshold voltage on this says 2.1V or max 3V, so I guess this will
do for 5V circiuts. Since 400mA is more than I need, can I start
experimenting by just replacing the 2n3904 transistor in one of my circuits
with one of these and remove the base resistor? So PIC output pin to the
gate, source to ground and drain to the common anode of a 7-segment LED.

If a PIC is made up of many fets and works down to 2V, then there must be
something that can work for 3V, right? Also, is there a p-channel common
type like the 2n7000?

Thank you,
Brian
