The ULN2003APW is a high-voltage, high-current Darlington transistor array manufactured by Texas Instruments. It integrates seven open-collector Darlington pairs with common emitters within a single package. Each channel supports a maximum continuous collector current of 500 mA and can withstand peak currents up to 600 mA. The device operates with a maximum collector-emitter voltage (Vceo) of 50 V and features an integrated suppression diode for each output to handle inductive loads. It utilizes a 16-pin TSSOP surface-mount package.
Verify the specific suffix 'PW' indicates the TSSOP-16 package variant rather than the standard PDIP version. Confirm the manufacturer source is Texas Instruments or an authorized distributor to ensure component authenticity. Check datasheet revisions for any updates regarding thermal characteristics or absolute maximum ratings before finalizing procurement specifications.
Select this component when a surface-mount solution is required for driving multiple high-current loads such as relays or solenoids. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed 50 V and that the total power dissipation remains within the limits defined for the TSSOP-16 package. Verify compatibility with the control logic family, as the internal base resistors are optimized for TTL and CMOS inputs.
This part belongs to the ULN2003A series of high-voltage Darlington arrays. While the ULN2003AN denotes the through-hole DIP-16 variant, the ULN2003APW specifically refers to the surface-mount TSSOP-16 configuration. Both variants share identical electrical characteristics and pinout configurations, differing only in physical packaging and mounting method.
The ULN2003DR from Texas Instruments serves as a direct replacement, offering the same SOIC-16 package and electrical specifications. Other compatible alternatives include the STMicroelectronics ULN2003A and ON Semiconductor ULN2003ADG, provided the package footprint matches the design constraints.
