Blog Microprocessor Based Relays Circuit Diagram Electromechanical Relays construction and working principle, interfacing circuits with microcontroller using transistors and relay driver IC ULN2003 How does it work? In the above schematic you see a general microcontroller application to control a relay. The microcontroller needs a regulated power supply (5V in this application). GP3 is set as input and allows the microcontroller to read the status of the momentary switch. GP0 is set to output to control the transistor.
A microcontroller is a low-power logic device. By itself, it is generally incapable of directly driving a relay. A single N-channel MOSFET may be interposed between the microcontroller and relay to increase the available coil current and accommodate relays with higher coil voltages. In this article, we explore a simple MOSFET-based interface allowing an Arduino Nano Every to control a 12 VDC I'm working on a I/O module to control AC, DC motor and lamps by using relays. But I don't know how to control the relays. Some says I should use optocoupler, some says transistor array. I found an optocoupler TLP280, in the figure there is the schematic. Can I use it by supplying 3.3V to control 24V dc motor and some lambs. The relay driver circuit using ULN2003 is given below. In this circuit diagram, the pic microcontroller is providing a signal to 4 relays through relay driver IC ULN2003.

This post will outline how you can drive a relay using micro-controllers like AVR. Concepts are same for any other micro-controller used either in standalone mode or embedded in a development board like Netduino or Arduino. Before we begin, I want to introduce the relay to you. If you already know, then you can skip this section. What is a relay A relay is an electrical switch that turns on or
They can directly interface with microcontrollers due to their very low input current requirements. Therefore, solid-state relays are an ideal choice for microcontrollers and digital circuits. Relays are devices which allow low power circuits to switch a relatively high Current and/or Voltage on/off. Here is a simple microcontroller-relay interface circuit with perfect "galvanic isolation".
