This invention relates to the field of
power electronics technology, specifically to a switching
relay control circuit and control method. The switching
relay control circuit includes a
signal control module, a power drive module, and a protection module. The
signal control module receives an
input control signal and outputs a drive signal. The power drive module responds to the drive signal by applying a first
voltage to the
relay coil to activate it, and automatically reduces the first
voltage to a second
voltage to maintain the activated state after activation. The second voltage is higher than the relay release voltage. The protection module provides unidirectional protection and voltage clamping for the circuit. This invention enables rapid and reliable relay activation, significantly reduces holding
power consumption, and improves the circuit's anti-interference capability.
