Aug 2, 2020 at 10:15 comment added jonk @boileau Yes, use those devices. Yes, since it is operated in active mode you would need to modify \$R_4\$. You want about \$2.6\:\text{mA}\$ in \$R_4\$. If you used a \$5\:\text{V}\$ rail you'd want to change it to about \$1.5\:\text{k}\Omega\$. (I calculate \$1.65\:\text{k}\Omega\$, to be exact, as \$R_4=\frac{V_\text{CC}-700\:\text{mV}}{2.6\:\text{mA}}\$.) That's the only change needed.
Aug 2, 2020 at 10:03 comment added boileau By the way, is your schematic sensitive to the I/O voltage? I was considering powering my MCP23017 (I/O expander) with 5V instead.
Aug 2, 2020 at 9:56 comment added boileau Very nice, thanks. Would I be able to use the 1N4004 and 2N3904 that I already have for D1 and Q1 instead?
