I have a voltage regulator circuit that works great till the voltage falls below 5V. I want to turn this FET into a Schmidt trigger to turn the power off and on, the voltage regulator circuit. Any suggestions? My voltage regulator circuit draws .150amps.

If the Vx is less than 2.5V so the Vcc is less than 5V all transistors and mosfet are turned off.
The 47k sets the hysteresis.
The red led serves as 1.8V reference so together with pnp Vbe (0.7V) the pnp will compare the Vx with 2.5V.
Use low power led that is bright at 5mA.
