The ULN2801A-ULN2805A each contains eight Darlington transistors with common emitters and integral 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 an 18-lead plastic DIP with a copper lead form and feature the convenient input-opposite-output pinout to simplify the board layout.
