Does anyone have any pointers or tips on how I can select the correct PNP transistors and resistors for the following circuit?
If I need to drive up to 1.5A do I need MOSFETS instead of transistors?
Thanks

2\$\begingroup\$ MOSFETS instead of transistors? The T in mosfeT stands for transistor. You can use PNPs (Bipolar transistors) or MOSFETs if you like. I would probably use P-channel MOSFETs with a low threshold voltage as your supply is only 3 V. \$\endgroup\$– BimpelrekkieCommented Nov 12, 2021 at 13:04

\$\begingroup\$ Thanks yes poor choice of words I meant to say PNP. I will have a look into some low threshold MOSFETs. \$\endgroup\$– P_JCommented Nov 13, 2021 at 9:51

1\$\begingroup\$ Generally there are better MOSFETs available than bipolars. You get voltage gate drive and low Rdson (for the correct devices). I'd suggest MOSFETs unless there is a very specific reason not to. \$\endgroup\$– Russell McMahon ♦Commented Nov 25, 2021 at 7:53
