can be triggered on and off ONLY after receiving 2 negative pulses within roughly 3 seconds time. If only one pulse is received, I want nothing to happen. Any ideas or links?
You could use a 555 timer that is triggered by the first pulse and that enables the circuit for three seconds with a subsequent pulse required within that window to activate the circuit. Now, what do you mean "triggered on and off"? Do you mean that once the second pulse is recognized that the circuit is turned on and then turns off automatically? Or do you mean that it is toggled upon recognizing the second pulse and stays in the new state until a subsequent pair of pulses is received?
It would be most helpful if you would provide a sketch of what you are looking for.
Get each pulse to trigger a monostable multivibrator with a pulse duration of about 1-2 seconds.
Feed the AND condition of the two monostable outputs into a third monostable set for any desired duration.
I suspect such a link does not exist. You are creating a unique scenario. I suggest you provide the information requested: a timing diagram of what you expect to happen and a clearer description of what you mean by "triggered on and off".
There are many experts here on circuit design and we haven't got a clear picture of what you are trying to accomplish.
You could have a 555 triggered by the first pulse,that enables a cd4017 for 3 seconds, and the clock pin pulses on the next trigger signals ,set the 4017 to count to 2 or 3.
