I'm designing an embedded control card with a 3.3V microcontroller. Are there any relays that can be controlled by 3.3V DC(our standard microcontroller's output voltage)? It will control a line of 220V and 5-10A. I already know that I can design a circuit with 5V/12V relays which are triggered by 3.3V gated transistor, however the problem is, this design shouldn't contain 2 different supply voltages(like 3.3V and 5V) from SMPS.
What would be your optimum solution about that issue? Price is very important cause the thousands of products will be produced.
