Maybe diode is not fast enough - it is so no worries

Since the rise rate of the current (di/dt) of most systems is very fast (usually fractions of microseconds) “fast”, “ultrafast”, or Schottky diodes are used. Regular power diodes, such as the commonly used “1N4007” series, are not suitable as snubbers as their reverse recovery time (turn on time) is several tens of microseconds; the diodes do not turn on fast enough to suppress the fast voltage spike.

http://www.petervis.com/Raspberry_PI/Driving_Relays_with_CMOS_and_TTL_Outputs/Driving_Relays_with_CMOS_and_TTL_Outputs.html

Relay: 5 / 125 = 40mA needed
BC337-25 100mA - hFE 250
40mA / 250 = 0.16mA needed for Ib base current
3.3 / 0.16mA = 20625 Ohm

Test with G4A-1A-E 5VDC relay

Relay: 5V / 27.8ohm = 180mA needed
2N4401 150mA - hFE 100
180mA / 100 = 1.8mA needed for Ib base current
3.6 / 1.8mA = 2k Ohm (2.kOhm turns out to give ~140mA through the spool)

Using LT1764A instead

Calculating Resitor values

Vout = 1.21(1+R2/R1) + Iadj * R2
Iadj = 3uA

R1=3.9k

Vout = 1.21 + 1.21 * R2/R1 + 3e-6 * R2
Vout - 1.21 = 1.21 * R2/R1 + 3e-6 * R2
R1(Vout - 1.21)/1.21 = R2 + 3e-6 * R2
R1(Vout - 1.21)/1.21 = (1 + 3E-6) * R2
(R1(Vout - 1.21)/1.21)/(1 + 3E-6) = R2
R1(Vout - 1.21)/(1.21 + 3.63E-6) = R2

Vout = 4.5 - 1.21, R1 = 3.9k
3.29 * R1/(1.21 + 3.63E-6) = R2 = 10.6k

Vout = 5.5 - 1.21, R1 = 3.9k
4.29 * R1/(1.21 + 3.63E-6) = R2 = 13.8k

How to get 10.6k - 13.8k with 26k trimpot?

Assume trimpot goes between 2.6k - 26k (not from zero)

13.8k-10.6k = 3.2k
8.2k - 5% = 7.8k
13.8k - 7.8k = 6k

1/6k-1/26k = 1/X
X = 7.8k

Use 8.2k E12 value (will get 6.2k trimpot)

So R1 = 3.9k, R2 = 8.2k + 26k || 8.2k
