TIP116-BP

The TIP116-BP is a single Darlington power transistor designed with NPN monolithic construction. It has high current-gain capabilities, low noise spectral density, low saturation voltage levels, and high current capacity. It is ideal for applications such as driver stages, switch circuits, and small amplifier output stages. The TIP116-BP also has a wide range of essential features leading to its widespread use in various applications.

The working principle of the TIP116-BP is based on a Darlington configuration driven by an NPN transistor. This NPN transistor consists of a P-type base and two N-type emitters, which are connected together. When a small current flows through the base, the current gain between the two emitters is increased and it amplifies the current between them. In addition, the collector can drive a much larger current than the input current, which is developed due to the high current gain of the Darlington setup. A Darlington configuration is often used to drive high power devices such as motors, solenoids, and lamps, as it allows a large current to be driven without requiring a high number of transistors.

The TIP116-BP is suitable for a wide range of applications, including power switching, power management, audio amplifiers, commercial audio amplifiers, motor control and DC-DC converters. It has a maximum current gain of 500 and a maximum collector power dissipation of 625mW. It has a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 100V and a maximum collector-base voltage of 150V. It also has a very low saturation voltage of approximately 0.2V.

The TIP116-BP is commonly used for switching applications, as it can drive large currents and provide excellent switching performance. It is often used to switch inductive loads such as motors, solenoids, and lamps. It can also be used for audio amplifiers, commercially for small audio amplifiers. The NPN Darlington configuration allows for an amplification of current in the collector allowing for high current drive even with small inputs.

The TIP116-BP is also used for power management applications such as DC-DC converters and battery chargers. It is used to provide small power control signals to large current loads. It can also be used in motor control applications, as it provides high current support in a compact form factor. This allows for more efficient motor operation, as well as improved system performance.
