Sidney Darlington. Source ... But the common collector pair of NPN transistors was the most promising. Apart from the huge gain increase, the common collector arrangement naturally favored ...

Worcester, Mass. — Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. has developed a series of Darlington transistors exclusively for home and professional audio amplifier markets. With a high safe operating area (SOA) and ...

Each of the Darlington pairs (which act as single NPN transistors) is configured as open collector, and the usual way this is used is to switch some kind of load to ground. Since the inputs can be ...

A while ago, a potential Design Idea crossed my desk, and it contained an unusual transistor pair the author called a Darlington, except, it wasn’t. A bit of research turned up the configuration: It’s ...

Q1 can be any npn bipolar transistor. A high-gain transistor is preferred because it lowers the base current, allowing a larger R and smaller C. The Q1 shown is a CXTA14 Darlington transistor from ...

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a seven-channel, NMOS low-side driver, replacing standard Darlington transistor arrays with a power-efficient, drop-in compatible integrated circuit. The TPL7407L ...
