The ULN2003ANE4 is a high-voltage, high-current Darlington transistor array manufactured by Texas Instruments. It contains seven NPN Darlington pairs with common emitters and integrated suppression diodes for inductive load switching. Each channel supports a maximum continuous collector current of 500 mA and withstands up to 50 V collector-emitter voltage. The device features a 2.7 kΩ series base resistor per pair, enabling direct interface with TTL or 5V CMOS logic. It is housed in a 16-pin PDIP package (19.30 mm x 6.35 mm) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 70°C.
Verify the component authenticity against the official Texas Instruments datasheet specifications. Confirm that the ordering suffix 'E4' corresponds to the specific lead-free material composition defined by the manufacturer. Ensure the physical package dimensions match the 16-pin PDIP format before integration into the design.
Select this component when driving inductive loads such as relays or solenoids directly from microcontrollers. The 500 mA per channel rating suits moderate power applications. Consider parallel configurations if the load current exceeds individual channel limits. Verify thermal dissipation requirements based on the number of active channels and ambient temperature conditions.
This part belongs to the ULx200xA family of high-voltage Darlington arrays. It shares functional similarities with ULN2002A and ULN2004A but differs in input resistor values to optimize compatibility with specific logic voltage levels. The ULN2003ANE4 variant specifically denotes the lead-free PDIP package version within the broader ULN2003A product line.
ULN2003AN
The device includes integrated suppression diodes connected between each output and the COM pin. These diodes suppress the reverse voltage generated by inductive loads when the transistors turn off.
Yes, the Darlington pairs can be paralleled to increase the total current handling capability beyond the single-channel 500 mA limit.
Due to the 2.7 kΩ series base resistors, the ULN2003ANE4 is compatible with TTL and 5V CMOS logic families.
