I have a circuit that I believe will work, but I was hoping someone could double check?
The load has a resistance about 2.525Ω
Assuming that the CVCC is required, would my circuit work?
Also, the purpose of this circuit is switching. When the photo-interrupter beam is intact, the load gets no current. When the beam is broken, the load gets current. Or, that's the idea here.
Changed freewheeling diode to Shottky diode as suggested.
