power supply - Switching a Large Current with a Tiny Switch


I have a SPDT switch that can switch .3A @ 5V. I would like to use it to switch 1A @ 9V which will then be fed into a 7805 linear regulator.


This is the design that I have come up with.

I have run some simulations on this circuit and it appears to work. Is there anything else I should do? Should I toss in a resistor somewhere?


I'm planning on using this switch. I don't have a particular MOSFET in mind, but it should be cheap and SMD.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
