Hello ,

Can some one help me understanding how this circuit functions? Basically the emitter terminal of T2 is used as a power supply in an application circuit.(I have shown like 12k ,as current requirement is low)

Is this a darlington pair arrangement? R2 15k confuses me.. Can some one explain how it is working?



Sorry there has been a mistake .. both the supplies are 24V only no 48V in the system..forgive the mistake in figure..

Yes.

Why, base-emitter pull-down resistor is even built-in with many power darlington transistors, review datasheets. Its purpose is also reduction of leakage current.

Thank you for the input.. what can be the purpose of 47Ohms any suggestion? is it to limit the output drive current?

Yes. Probably the only purpose.
