DESCRIPTION
The ULN2801A-ULN2805A each contain 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
least 50V in the off state. Outputs may be paralleled
for higher current capability.
Five versions are available to simplify interfacing to
standard logic families : the ULN2801A is designed
for general purpose applications with a current limit
resistor ; the ULN2802A has a 10.5k input resistor
and zener for 14-25V PMOS ; the ULN2803A has a
2.7k input resistor for 5V TTL and CMOS ; the
ULN2804A has a 10.5k input resistor for 6-15V
CMOS and the ULN2805A is designed to sink a
minimum of 350mA for standard and Schottky TTL
where higher output current is required.
All types are supplied in a 18-lead plastic DIP with
a copper lead from and feature the convenient input-
opposite-output pinout to simplify board layout.
