Darlington Pair
• Typically used in low frequency applications
where high current and high input impedance
are required.
– Power Supplies
– Audio Amplifiers
– Light Sensors (photo-darlington)
– Used with TTL logic to drive high current loads
(LEDs , solenoids…).
Zener Follower Voltage Regulation
• Zener Follower
– A zener diode is used in an emitter follower
circuit.
– Provides a large load current while keeping
the output voltage stable.
– The zener current is much smaller than the
load current.
