Darlington transistor arrays
27 August 2014
Power Electronics / Power Management
Diodes Incorporated has introduced what it claims are better performing, lower-cost versions of the industry-standard ULN2000 series of Darlington arrays. The devices integrate seven open-collector Darlington transistors, each capable of producing an output current of 500 mA, from outputs rated at 50 V.
With clamp diodes included, the arrays directly drive a variety of inductive loads, including relays and stepper motors in home appliance and industrial products. Three variants are available to cover compatibility with all common logic families: ULN2002A (14 V to 25 V PMOS), ULN2003A (5 V TTL, CMOS) and ULN2004A (6 V to 15 V CMOS, PMOS).
As drop-in replacements, all parts are provided in the popular small outline SO-16 package, with inputs and outputs of all Darlingtons pinned out in direct opposition to simplify PCB layouts. The array’s -40°C to +105°C operating temperature suits the requirements of industrial system design.
