See this link for a scheme using a single p-channel mosfet. The penalty in voltage drop is on the order of millivolts for a typical embedded control circuit.

Where is the current limiting resistor between the base of Q1 and RA4? If there is one, I haven't found it anywhere on your schematic. Now you're telling us that although the transistor is drawn inc ...
As I pointed out a few days ago Q1 (and Q2) are connected wrong AND pinned out wrong. Per the data sheet:
pin1 -> Emitter
pin2 -> Collector
pin3 -> Base
Pin 1 is on the left side of the ...
Sorry Helyos . I was just pointing out some errors that could be causing you problems. If you're comfortable with the way you draw schematics then you are welcome to keep doing it that way. ...
One thing jumps out. Q1 and Q2 are pinned out wrong AND are connected wrong as drawn. These aren't related to the reset problem but without a thorough H/W design check how many other things might be ...
Hi Gonz,
You might try adding the FLOAT_HIGH and ENABLE= (pin) options to your #USE rs232 directive. Add a resistor (1K to 10K) between your TX pin and the one you assign as ENABLE. I haven't tried ...
I had this problem with a 12F629 and it started behaving after I added #device *=16 to the header file. If you're using PCM try this. Place the statement right after the first line in your header fi ...
