ULN2003A
ULN2003A is HIGH-VOLTAGE/ HIGH-CURRENT DARLINGTON ARRAYS manufactured by Allegro MicroSystems.
feature continuous load current ratings to 500 m A for each of the seven drivers. At an appropriate duty cycle depending on ambient temperature and number of drivers turned ON simultaneously, typical power loads totaling over 230 W (350 m A x 7, 95 V) can be controlled. Typical loads include relays, solenoids, stepping motors, magnetic print hammers, multiplexed LED and incandescent displays, and heaters. All devices feature open-collector outputs with integral clamp diodes. The ULN2003A/L and ULN2023A/L have series input resistors selected for operation directly with 5 V TTL or CMOS. These devices will handle numerous interface needs
- particularly those beyond the capabilities of standard logic buffers. The ULN2004A/L and ULN2024A/L have series input resistors for operation directly from 6 to 15 V CMOS or PMOS logic outputs.

Note that the ULN20xx A series (dual in-line package) and ULN20xx L series (small-outline IC package) are electrically identical and share a mon terminal number assignment.
The ULN2003A/L and ULN2004A/L are the standard Darlington arrays. The outputs are capable of sinking 500 m A and will withstand at least 50 V in the OFF state. Outputs may be paralleled for higher load current capability. The ULN2023A/L and ULN2024A/L will withstand 95 V in the OFF state. These Darlington arrays are furnished in 16-pin dual in-line plastic packages (suffix “A”) and 16-lead surface-mountable SOICs (suffix “L”). All devices are pinned with outputs opposite inputs to facilitate ease of circuit board layout. All devices are rated for operation over the temperature range of -20°C to +85°C. Most (see matrix, next page) are also available for operation to -40°C; to order, change the prefix from “ULN” to “ULQ”.
