The cathode of diode D1 is electrically connected to the first terminal of capacitor C2 and the first terminal of resistor R2. The anode of diode D2 is electrically connected to the second terminal of capacitor C2 and the second terminal of resistor R2. Capacitor C2 and resistor R2 are connected in parallel. The first terminal of capacitor C2 and the first terminal of resistor R2 are electrically connected to the gate (G) of MOSFET QU1. The second terminal of capacitor C2 and the second terminal of resistor R2 are electrically connected to the source (S) of MOSFET QU1 and grounded. The drain (D) of MOSFET QU1 is electrically connected to an electromagnetic relay RE1.
[0023] Preferably, it also includes a power supply VCC, which is a DC power supply, and the electromagnetic relay RE1 is electrically connected to the power supply VCC.
[0024] Preferably, the electromagnetic relay RE1 includes a first port 1, a second port COM, a third port OPEN, a fourth port CLOSE, and a fifth port 5. The first port 1 is electrically connected to the power supply VCC, and the fifth port 5 is electrically connected to the drain (D) of the MOSFET QU1. The second port COM, the third port OPEN, and the fourth port CLOSE are all left floating.
[0025] It should be noted that the electromagnetic relay RE1 is existing technology.
[0026] Preferably, the device further includes a diode D3, the cathode of which is electrically connected to the power supply VCC, and the anode of which is electrically connected to port 5 of the MOSFET QU1. When the MOSFET QU1 is turned off, the diode D3 eliminates the induced current to prevent damage to the relay.
[0027] Preferably, the circuit also includes a capacitor C3, the first end of which is electrically connected to the power supply VCC, and the second end of which is grounded.

[0029] Preferably, the MOS transistor QU1 is an N-type MOS transistor, which turns on when the voltage reaches the turn-on voltage, and the relay circuit operates.
[0030] Preferably, the capacitance of capacitor C2 is greater than or equal to four times the capacitance of capacitor C1, ensuring that capacitor C1 completes multiple charge and discharge cycles before the voltage of capacitor C2 reaches the operating voltage of MOSFET QU1, thus completing the control of the relay circuit.
[0031] Preferably, the input signal source PWM is a PWM square wave signal with a frequency range of 50Hz-100kHz.
[0032] Working principle:
[0033] When there is no input to the circuit, the left side of capacitor C1 is at a high level and the right side is grounded and at a low level. When the input signal source PWM input is low, the left side of capacitor C1 becomes low, and the voltage difference between the two sides of capacitor C1 is maintained. At this time, diode D2 is turned on, and the current flows through diode D2 to charge capacitor C1 until capacitor C1 is fully charged.
[0034] When the input signal source PWM is high, both sides of the fully charged capacitor C1 are at high levels. Diode D1 conducts, charging capacitor C2. The voltage of capacitor C2 continuously increases, and MOSFET QU1 conducts, causing the relay to operate. When the input signal source PWM stops, capacitor C2 discharges, the voltage decreases, and MOSFET QU1 turns off. When MOSFET QU1 is on, the fourth port CLOSE of the electromagnetic relay RE1 is disconnected from the second port COM, while the third port OPEN is connected to the second port COM. When MOSFET QU1 is off, the fourth port CLOSE is connected to the second port COM, while the third port OPEN is disconnected from the second port COM.
