#179689 - The "crying wolf" is right here...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
In this scheme



the voltage regulator makes absolutely no sense at the place where it sits, as Kalpak already mentioned.

Also, there'n no explaination, why the output voltage is up to 4VDC when the output is turned-off. For this open emitter topology with no internal pull-down resistor shown, only a leakage current specification would make sense here.

More, what we see is a "Darlington" and not a "Darlington driver".

So, the scheme is crap and is only good for causing confusion.
