ULN2003B High-Voltage, High-Current Darlington Transistor Array
1 Features
3 Description
•
The ULN2003B device is a high-voltage, high-current
Darlington transistor array. This device consists of
seven NPN Darlington pairs that feature high-voltage
outputs with common-cathode clamp diodes for
switching inductive loads. The collector-current rating
of a single Darlington pair is 500 mA. The Darlington
pairs can be paralleled for higher current capability.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltage values are with respect to the emitter/substrate terminal E, unless otherwise noted.
Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable ambient
temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA)/θJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can affect reliability.
The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
This standard device has proven ubiquity and versatility across a wide range of applications. This is due to it's
integration of 7 Darlington transistors that are capable of sinking up to 500 mA and wide GPIO range capability.
The ULN2003B comprises seven high voltage, high current NPN Darlington transistor pairs. All units feature a
common emitter and open collector outputs. To maximize their effectiveness, these units contain suppression
diodes for inductive loads. The ULN2003B has a series base resistor to each Darlington pair, thus allowing
operation directly with TTL or CMOS operating at supply voltages of 5 V or 3.3 V. The ULN2003B offers
solutions to a great many interface needs, including solenoids, relays, lamps, small motors, and LEDs.
Applications requiring sink currents beyond the capability of a single output may be accommodated by paralleling
the outputs.
This device can operate over a wide temperature range (–40°C to +105°C).

Figure 22. Schematic (Each Driver)
8.3 Feature Description
Each channel of ULN2003B consists of Darlington connected NPN transistors. This connection creates the effect
of a single transistor with a very high current gain. This beta can be high at certain currents see Figure 5.
The GPIO voltage is converted to base current through the 2.7-kΩ resistor connected between the input and
base of the pre-driver Darlington NPN. The 7.2-kΩ and 3-kΩ resistors connected between the base and emitter
of each respective NPN act as pull-downs and suppress the amount of leakage that may occur from the input.
The diodes connected between the output and COM pin is used to suppress the kick-back voltage from an
inductive load that is excited when the NPN drivers are turned off (stop sinking) and the stored energy in the
coils causes a reverse current to flow into the coil supply through the kick-back diode.
In normal operation the diodes on base and collector pins to emitter will be reversed biased. If these diode are
forward biased, internal parasitic NPN transistors will draw (a nearly equal) current from other (nearby) device
pins.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Inductive Load Drive
When the COM pin is tied to the coil supply voltage, ULN2003B is able to drive inductive loads and suppress the
kick-back voltage through the internal free wheeling diodes.
8.4.2 Resistive Load Drive
When driving a resistive load, a pull-up resistor is needed in order for ULN2003B to sink current and for there to
be a logic high level. The COM pin can be left floating for these applications.
9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
ULN2003B will typically be used to drive a high voltage and/or current peripheral from an MCU or logic device
that cannot tolerate these conditions. The following design is a common application of ULN2003B, driving
inductive loads. This includes motors, solenoids and relays. Figure 23 is a typical block diagram representation of
this application.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
When using ULN2003B in a coil driving application, determine the following:
• Input Voltage Range
• Temperature Range
• Output and Drive Current
• Power Dissipation
9.2.2.1 Drive Current
The coil current is determined by the coil voltage (VSUP), coil resistance and output low voltage (VOL or
VCE(SAT)).
ICOIL = (VSUP – VCE(SAT)) / RCOIL
(1)
9.2.2.2 Output Low Voltage
The output low voltage (VOL) is the same thing as VCE(SAT) and can be determined by, Figure 1, Figure 2, or
Figure 4.
9.2.2.3 Power Dissipation and Temperature
The number of coils driven is dependent on the coil current and on-chip power dissipation. The number of coils
driven can be determined by Figure 6 or Figure 7.
For a more accurate determination of number of coils possible, use Equation 2 to calculate ULN2003B on-chip
power dissipation PD:
N
PD = å VOLi ´ ILi
i=1
where
•
•
N is the number of channels active together.
VOLi is the OUTi pin voltage for the load current ILi. This is the same as VCE(SAT)
(2)
In order to guarantee reliability of ULN2003B and the system the on-chip power dissipation must be lower that or
equal to the maximum allowable power dissipation (PD(MAX)) dictated by Equation 3.
PD(MAX) =
(T
J(MAX)
- TA )
qJA
where
•
•
•
12
TJ(MAX) is the target maximum junction temperature.
TA is the operating ambient temperature.
θJA is the package junction to ambient thermal resistance.

TI recommends to limit ULN2003B IC’s die junction temperature to less than 125°C. The IC junction temperature
is directly proportional to the on-chip power dissipation.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
This part does not need a power supply; however, the COM pin is typically tied to the system power supply.
When this is the case, it is very important to make sure that the output voltage does not exceed the COM pin
voltage. This will heavily forward bias the fly-back diodes and cause a large current to flow into COM, potentially
damaging the on-chip metal or over-heating the part.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Thin traces can be used on the input due to the low current logic that is typically used to drive UNL2003B. Care
must be taken to separate the input channels as much as possible, as to eliminate cross-talk. Thick traces are
recommended for the output, in order to drive whatever high currents that may be needed. Wire thickness can be
determined by the trace material's current density and desired drive current.
Since all of the channels currents return to a common emitter, it is best to size that trace width to be very wide.
Some applications require up to 2.5 A.

12.4 Electrostatic Discharge Caution
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
