Hello
I need a simple circuit (DC 0-15 volts) that does:
if Vin12 then Vout=Vin
would you post the circuit or let me know where I can find one or how I can do it?
Thanks

Hi,
Check out maxim's voltage monitoring chips at their websites.

Use LM324 for the OpAmp, making sure that its VDD is at least 2V higher than the largest desired input.

It can be done with only two OpAmps, but I'll "leave that as an exercise for the student" ;-)

You can control indefinitely large loads with a relay- but some of them are fussy about 25% overdrive so you have to current limit. View in a fixed-width font such as Courier.

Probably. The relay idea will do that. Also Bloggs has a submission, which I'm sure works ;-)

Well- if a relay is required then he needs to current limit at 15V, like so: View in a fixed-width font such as Courier.

It works fine at 1Hz, or at DC, if a separate floating power supply is created for the HI-side driver section. A few years ago I posted the schematic of a high-speed 250V 50-ohm pulse generator using this approach with an IR2113, a chip with similar MOSFET drivers.

But theyre happy with 20% underdrive, so can just use a series resistor to translate 12-15v to 9.6-12v.

Resistor and 12V zener to the base of a transistor driving a relay.
Cheers.

-- I have a couple of circuits I can post for you, but first: 1. How much current can your 0-15V input source? 2. How much current will your load need when Vin >= 12V?
Hmmm... what am I doing wrong? I breadboarded it, and I get about 1.3 Vout when under threshold with threshold anywhere from 5 to 12 volts and a 17 volt supply. (Didn't try above
12 or below 5). It switches nicely from low to Vin when you sweep over the threshold. I'm using a 5K pot to pin 2 of U1 for the threshold voltage, and another 5K pot to pin 3 for the sweep voltage.It's a nice circuit. Like they say in the cereal commercial: "Mikey likes it!"
Ed
You're not doing anything wrong, it seems to be working as the OP requested ;-)
It can be done with only two OpAmps. Has anyone figured out how yet?

for the relay and transistor it depends on the load you want to switch.
if high precision and temperature stability is needed a precision voltage source could be used instead of the zener diode
