crazybuoy Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 There is a small circuit schematic attached where I am using voltage regulator 7812. I input 24VDC and 12VDC comes out from OUT pin. I want to make switch off & on NPN transistor with 12VDC buy using PNP transistor before NPN. And I will use PC printer port to provide the 1 & 0 pulse of 5VDC then how I should wire the circuit I want to just get the idea. Or is there any other way to do the same?

Kevin Weddle Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 It may be better to use a relay. If you need faster switching, you might try a shunt circuit with a MOSFET controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybuoy Posted November 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I have tried the following attached circuit in the same structure having fixing the components on a paper card. The real schematic is also attached. I am testing the switching of TIP42 by attaching + probe of voltmeter with collector of TIP142 and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Your new circuit is missing a resistor between the collector of the A733 PNP transistor and the base of the TIP142 darlington transistor. The 4.7k resistor is noy much of a load for the very powerful darlington transistor. Unless we know the load current then we cannot recommend the value of the missing resistor.The 7812 needs an input capacitor and an output capacitor near it as shown on its datasheet.

Hero999 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Did you look at the link I provided? You only need two transistors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
