Its circuit diagram using pic microcontroller is given below:. Internal circuit diagram of relay driver ic Darlington pairs is given below. A clamped diode is used as a freewheeling diode to avoid back emf effect in case of inductive loads.

Hello I am using a 12v, 10A dc motor on my project.
Please assist me on this. Salam Mr Malik I have one question about uln driving four relays if instead off using relays 12v I used 5 v relays is that effecting on Micro controller performance because relays drowns current? My son has been set a homework from his Engineering teacher that uses one of your above circuit diagrams.
Please could you help me identify one of the components? Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email. Table of Contents.

In this tutorial of ULN relay driver circuit interface to microcontrollers today we shall see how in relay that is electromagnetic relay or a number of relays can be interfaced to a microcontroller.
There are other really drive ICs available in marker also in different name. ULN is nothing but a set of inverters which is there inside this IC as shown in picture below:.
For example if you look at the pin number 1 the inverter input and VIN number 16 is the inverter output. In pin number 2 is the inverter input to pin number 15 is the inverter output and the pin number 3 is the inverter input pin number 14 is the inverter output.
A picture of relay is shown below:. This is a relay. A negative voltage spike is produced when turning the device OFF. A diode is also connected across the transistor instead of the load sometimes in order to protect the transistor. The load is directly connected to battery power and cannot passed through the voltage regulator in battery operated devices. Many devices such as motors have more inflow current spike when they are first turned ON.
Be cautious on maximum current ratings. More interface options are available which includes popular ULN driver. The ULN has internal clamp diodes. While these work OK in non-critical applications and it leads to rise of glitches. The clamp, free-wheeling or commutation diode provides a path for the inductive discharge current to flow when the driver switch is opened.
If not provided, it will generate an arc in the switch—while the arc will not generally damage a switch contact, it will cause contact degradation over time—and yes, it will destroy transistors—been there, done that. The diode requirements are non-critical and a 1N signal diode will generally work OK in low power applications. Avoid emitter follower drivers. If the relay is switched to OFF in diode eliminates back e. ON status of the relay is indicated by LED.
Let us see construction of relay driver circuit for relays that are operated from DC power. In order to drive a DC relay, DC voltage is needed in required quantity to rate a relay and a zener diode. Voltage is required for the relay to operate and to open or close its switch in a circuit.
Relays exist with a voltage rating. For the function of relay, it must receive this voltage at its coil terminals. In order to eliminate voltage spikes from a relay circuit, a diode is required for its proper functioning.
The coil of a relay acts an Inductor. So when the negative terminal of the LED is grounded it completes the circuit and thus glows. The loads connected to the output pin can be maximum of 50C and mA each. However you can run higher current loads buy combining two or more output pins to gather. The COM pin is connected to ground through a switch, this connection is optional.
