Signal Detecting Auto Power on Unit - The switch detector unit is shown in Figure 1, and uses an LM358 dual OpAmp, and a handful of other parts. The relay switching device is a MOSFET, selected because of the almost infinite input resistance. The 2N7000 shown is recommended because it has a threshold voltage of less than 3V and is fairly cheap, but virtually any MOSFET will work just as well, even if the gate threshold is a little higher. An MTP3055 can also be used, as shown originally in this circuit. __ Designed by Rod Elliott ESP
