EEVblog #262 - World's Simplest Soft Latching Power Switch Circuit

This is Dave's concept, I just added a discharge resistor (10k) and two loads to see how much current can this circuit handle and a 100mohm resistor to monitor this current
A short press on push button turns on the mosfet and a short press turns it off. If you press it for a longer time it will basculate.
This circuit is ideal for controlling power on an Arduino board (Atmel328P for example)
Feel free to play around with loads....
This circuit is a demand from Cameron1979
It's worth watching Dave's explanations on EEVblog

I modified this with adding an n-mos transistor in my https://everycircuit.com/circuit/4609008530620416 ...'Soft latch on-off power switch.v2' circuit.
