Description of Relay Driver (Auto Electro Switching) using ULN-2003
Quick Overview
The Relay Driver with Auto Electro Switching using ULN-2003 is designed for seamless interfacing and robust control of inductive loads, like motors, solenoids, and relays. It is an essential tool for hobbyists and professionals working on projects that involve load management and device control.
How It Works
The ULN-2003 IC in the module serves as a relay driver that provides a current and voltage amplification for controlling high-power circuits. It consists of an array of Darlington transistors that enhance the input signal to trigger the relays effectively. When a low-level control signal is applied to the ULN-2003, it amplifies the signal, thereby actuating the connected relay and managing the load.
