"Current sink" means that the output controls the ground, or negative supply, to power a
device, as demonstrated in Figure 5-23. The BASIC Stamp controls the ULN2003,
which energizes a 12 V, 100 mA relay coil. The relay coil is closing contacts to drive a
115 VAC fan. The electromagnetic relay draws considerable power. Frequent cycling
causes chatter and wears out the moving contacts. An alternative is a solid-state relay
discussed shortly.
Current source is where the output is the positive supply. A helpful phrase to remember
is – "Current sinks to ground." By using a Darlington-pair, a very small base current can
saturate the drive stage. Figure 5-24 is a schematic for one driver. Note that it contains
an internal clamping diode for surges from inductive loads such as coils and motors.
