The ULN2002ANE4 is a high-voltage, high-current Darlington transistor array manufactured by Texas Instruments. It integrates seven NPN Darlington pairs with common emitters and includes built-in clamping flyback diodes for each channel to protect against inductive load transients. The device features a single common input pin that drives all seven channels simultaneously, simplifying interface logic. It is housed in a standard 16-pin DIP package suitable for through-hole mounting. Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 50 V and a maximum continuous collector current of 500 mA per channel.
Verify the E4 suffix indicates lead-free construction compliant with RoHS standards. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint. Check the manufacturer's latest datasheet for updated thermal derating curves and absolute maximum ratings before finalizing the design.
Select this component when driving multiple inductive loads from a single logic source. Ensure the load current does not exceed 500 mA per channel. Verify that the 50 V breakdown voltage accommodates the supply voltage and any back-EMF spikes generated by the connected loads.
This part belongs to the ULN200x series of Darlington arrays. Unlike the ULN2003 which has ten channels, this variant provides seven channels. The ULN2004A variant offers ten channels but lacks the common collector connection found in the ULN2002. This specific model is optimized for applications requiring fewer channels than the ULN2003 but more than the ULN2004A.
The common input pin allows a single logic signal to activate all seven Darlington pairs simultaneously, reducing the number of required control lines.
Each channel includes an integrated flyback diode connected between the collector and emitter to safely dissipate energy stored in inductive loads during turn-off.
Yes, the input structure is compatible with standard TTL and CMOS logic levels, including 5V systems.
