Hey all,
I'm looking for a simple circuit that will amplify a pulsing .2V to roughly 9-12V.
I think a simple op-amp will do it, but I'm not sure.
The application:
I am using an electronic dog collar to trip a latching relay when it get's too close to the transmitter (roughly 6 feet). This is going on a mobile platform so all power is going to be coming from batteries.
The dog collar operates in pulses at roughly 100Hz if memory serves. All I need the amplifier to do is provide enough voltage to trip a latching relay in a short amount of time.
Vin: .2
Vout: 9+
I've managed to dredge up enough 11 year old knowledge to build (and have tested) the rest of the circuit. I just don't remember enough for this initial part. I've spent some time reading old text books and on Google, but I'm running out of time to get this thing operational.
And no, this is not being attached to any animal.
Thanks.
