Apr 5, 2023 at 20:35 comment added Andy aka @SergioPiccione correct and sorry for being late in realizing it couldn't run from 5 volts.
Apr 5, 2023 at 20:14 comment added Sergio Piccione ok now its clear, so my calc were not wrong, i just had to use a voltage divider to obtain my voltage without burning the transistor

Apr 5, 2023 at 20:04 comment added Andy aka @periblepsis yes you are right. Good spot. It needs a potential divider to produce 0/5 volts from a 12 volt supply.
Apr 5, 2023 at 19:32 comment added periblepsis @Andyaka The datasheet appears to specify +12 to +24 for the emitter (and 3.3 Ohm) end of the PNP. Elsewhere on the datasheet, for other devices, they do allow +5 V. But not in this case, for the specific E6B2-CWZ5B device. How do you read it?
Apr 5, 2023 at 17:04 comment added Andy aka The transistor is operating as a switch so, it'll push the current defined by the resistor and the power supply. Use a 5 volt supply is my recommendation and it's very easy. OK upper logic level might end up being about 4.8 volts but that's fine for logic.
Apr 5, 2023 at 17:00 comment added Sergio Piccione nono i was saying i ve updated my question sorry, im not sure why my calc are wrong, but when i force the current as you said also your solution make sense,
Apr 5, 2023 at 16:49 comment added Andy aka @SergioPiccione how do you want me to update my answer?
Apr 5, 2023 at 16:36 comment added Sergio Piccione update the answer, thank you btw, it perfectly make sense but my math was off
