ULN2003A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The ULN2003A from Texas Instruments is a versatile high-voltage, high-current Darlington transistor array. Each device integrates seven NPN Darlington pairs, each capable of handling a 500mA collector current and providing 50V output voltage. Integrated common-cathode clamp diodes are included for effective switching of inductive loads.

 

Designed for broad compatibility, the inputs of the ULN2003A work with various logic types, including TTL and 5V CMOS devices, due to a 2.7kΩ series base resistor. This makes it suitable for applications such as relay drivers, stepper and DC brushed motor drivers, lamp drivers, and display drivers (LED and gas discharge).

 

The device is available in multiple package options including SOIC, PDIP, SOP, TSSOP, and SOT, catering to different assembly and space requirements. The Darlington pairs can also be paralleled for applications requiring higher current capability.

 

Key features include high-voltage outputs, output clamp diodes, and compatibility with common logic families. These characteristics make the ULN2003A a robust choice for driving loads that require higher current or voltage than standard logic gates can provide.
