About TIP120
The TIP120 is a powerful and versatile transistor that can be used to interface higher current or voltage loads to microcontrollers like Arduino. With a low collector-emitter saturation voltage and a current gain of 1000, this NPN Darlington transistor is an efficient choice for controlling various electrical components.
One of the key advantages of the TIP120 is its ability to control DC motors, solenoids, or strings of LEDs with minimal current draw from the microcontroller. This means that it can handle higher power requirements without burdening the microcontroller with excessive current. This makes the TIP120 particularly suitable for projects that require a significant amount of power, such as robotics or home automation systems.
The complementary NPN – PNP transistors of the TIP120 further enhance its capabilities. By combining these two types of transistors, the TIP120 can handle both positive and negative current flow, allowing for bi-directional control of electrical components. This feature makes the TIP120 a versatile choice for applications that require bidirectional control, such as motor control or switching circuits.
Features
- Low collector-emitter saturation voltage: The TIP120 transistor has a low voltage drop across the collector-emitter junction, minimizing power losses and improving efficiency.
- High current gain: With a current gain of 1000, the TIP120 can amplify small input currents from the microcontroller to control higher current loads.
- NPN Darlington configuration: The TIP120 is configured as an NPN Darlington transistor, which provides a high current gain and allows for efficient control of electrical components.
