Diodes ULN200xA User Manual

ULN2002A/ ULN2003A/ ULN2004A

HIGH VOLTAGE, HIGH CURRENT

DARLINGTON TRANSISTOR ARRAYS

Description

The ULN2002A, ULN2003A and ULN2004A are high voltage, high

current Darlington arrays each containing seven open collector

common emitter pairs. Each pair is rated at 500mA. Suppression

diodes are included for inductive load driving, the inputs and outputs

are pinned in opposition to simplify board layout.

Device options are designed to be compatible with common logic

families:

 ULN2002A (14-25V PMOS)

 ULN2003A (5V TTL, CMOS)

 ULN2004A (6-15V CMOS, PMOS)

These devices are capable of driving a wide range of loads including

solenoids, relays, DC motors; LED displays, filament lamps, thermal

print-heads and high power buffers.

The ULN2002A, 2003A and 2004A are supplied in a small outline

16 pin package (SO-16).
