Darlington Driver Circuit ULN2202A Chip Description:
The ULN2202A is a monolithic integrated high-voltage, high-current Darlington array, featuring two independent Darlington driver channels within the circuit. It includes a flyback diode internally designed for driving inductive loads such as relays, stepper motors, etc. Each Darlington transistor collector can output up to 500mA current. Parallel connection of Darlington transistors achieves higher output current capability. This circuit is widely applicable in relay driving, lighting driving, display driving (LED), stepper motor driving, and logic buffers.
Each Darlington transistor in the ULN2202A is串联 with a 2.7K base resistor, and can be directly connected to TTL/CMOS circuits under a 5V operating voltage, allowing direct handling of data that previously required standard logic buffers.
