AI Technical Summary
The turn-on voltage of existing Darlington transistors is generally above 2V, which makes them unsuitable for input signals of 1.8V, thus limiting their application range.
By adjusting the ratio of resistors R1, R2, and R3 to 5.5:4.5, the turn-on voltage of the Darlington transistor circuit is reduced to 1.6V, enabling signal amplification at a lower voltage.
This reduces the turn-on voltage of the Darlington transistor circuit to 1.6V, expanding its application range to 1.8V input signals.

Abstract
Description

[0002] The working principle of darlington transistor circuit is based on the concept of cascade amplification.

[0003] Specifically, when the input signal is applied to the base of the driver transistor, the driver transistor starts to conduct. After conducting, the current on the collector of the driver transistor will flow into the base of the output transistor, causing the output transistor to also start to conduct. In this way, the current on the collector of the output transistor will be amplified, forming the final output signal.
