Construction and Working
Source power supply connected with relay and MAX4624 ICs power pin 2 and 6, the digital control input pin connected through R1 and C1 components. The analog switch common pin 5 is connected with C1 capacitor, When switch closed R1 and C1 components produce timing signal depends on their values this signal is taken as digital control input hence the switching output drives the relay.
