Interfacing Microcontroller: Darlington Transistors

Tutorial

September 2, 2011

In this video I’ll tell you what is darlington transistors, how to use them to switch medium current loads with microcontroller and what downsides they have.
Also you’ll find out about darlington arrays. Of course there would be small demonstration of controlling different loads at the end of this video.

In case if you don’t know how to use an ordinary bipolar transistors, check out this two videos:
