LED Bar and Darlington Driver Circuit

The Layout Step 1

The LEDs are in a Dual in-line (DIL) integrated package.
The eight resistors are in a Single in-line (SIL) integrated package.
The discrete component diode is for polarity protection.

Step 2 - Add the Darlington Driver Chip

The ULN2803A is an 18 pin DIL integrated circuit (IC).

The chip is a ULN2803A. This has eight Darlington driver circuits.
Behind the LED Bar display, there is a resistor array containing eight 680 Ω resistors.
The chip is wired up with colour coded connecting wires. This makes circuit fault correction much easier.
