Plastic-Encapsulate Darlington Transistors
ULN2003A Darlington Transistor (NPN)
3 Features
1 Introduction
ULN2003A is a high voltage, high current Darlington
transistor array. Each device consists of seven NPN
Darlington pairs that can be output independently.
These Darlington pairs have common emitter poles
that support high voltage output with a common
cathode clamp diode for switching inductive loads.
The input and output of the clamp diode are relatively
fixed to simplify the layout of the printed circuit board.
The collector current of a single Darlington pair is
rated at 500mA, and parallel Darlington pairs provide
a higher current.

Each Darlington pair of ULN2003A devices has a
2.7kΩ series base resistance that works directly with
TTL or CMOS devices. This device is often used to
drive a variety of loads, such as DC engine, LED
display light, high power cache and general logic
circuits such as TTL, 5V CMOS, etc.
