Abstract
A process for using a Darlington circuit comprising a main transistor and a pilot transistor wherein the collector voltage of the main transistor is compared with its base voltage. The resulting signal is transmitted to a switch feeding a control current to the base of the pilot transistor or the base of the main transistor. Thus, the circuit operates as a Darlington circuit or else the main transistor operates independently according to the level of the collector current.
