You originally asked about a transistor. What kind of circuit do you have where you can replace a NPN transistor with a Schottky diode? > (Its a fan controller for a compact amp I've built and I'm aiming to > get the fan > running at something near full speed at 1 v rms output - which is > pretty loud) So what does that have to do with the B-E drop of a transistor, which is what you originally asked about? It sounds like you want low on voltage. Why not a FET like IRLML2502, for example? ****************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, (978) 742-9014. #1 PIC consultant in 2004 program year. http://www.embedinc.com/products -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
