Control Function With NDsolve

In solving a control type dif eq with NDSolve I have the following 
question. Suppose the eq is of the following simplified form

		y'[t]==a*f[y[t]]-b*y[t]
		y[0]==0

How to define f so that it starts at f=1, and changes to f=0 when y 
reaches ymax, and then changes back to f=1 when y reaches ymin, and so 
on in oscilatory fashion?
