#157509 - How to turn on/off another MCU
I want to switch VCC of a microcontroller that I call it "slave" by another microcontroller I name it "master". somthing like the figure below.


how can I do this while I don't know how much current the slave microcontroller sink? I think It's not a good idea to use a BJT as a controllable switch because it may not enter the saturation region when it is turned on. any suggestion?
Thanks-
Koosha

         that's why they make logic MOSFET's            01/01/70 00:00

               Perhaps you should try a logic-MOSFET            01/01/70 00:00      
   It Still Makes No Difference            01/01/70 00:00      
      Maybe it's the load current            01/01/70 00:00
