DESCRIPTION
The ULN2801A-ULN2805Aeachcontain eight dar-
lington transistors with common emitters and inte-
gral suppression diodes for inductive loads. Each
darlington features a peak load current rating of
600mA (500mA continuous) and can withstand at
least50V inthe offstate.Outputsmaybe paralleled
for highercurrent capability.
Fiveversions are available to simplify interfacing to
standard logic families: the ULN2801A is designed
for generalpurpose applicationswith a current limit
resistor; the ULN2802Ahas a 10.5kΩ inputresistor
and zenerfor 14-25V PMOS; theULN2803Ahas a
2.7kΩ input resistor for 5V TTL and CMOS ; the
ULN2804A has a 10.5kΩ input resistor for 6-15V
CMOS and the ULN2805A is designed to sink a
minimum of 350mA for standard and Schottky TTL
wherehigher output current is required.
All types are supplied in a 18-lead plastic DIP with
