ULN2003LV 7-Channel Relay and Inductive Load Sink Driver
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The ULN2003LV is a low-voltage and low power
upgrade of TI’s popular ULN2003 family of 7-channel
Darlington transistor array. The ULN2003LV sink
driver features 7 low output impedance drivers to
support low voltage relay and inductive coil
applications. The low impedance drivers minimize onchip power dissipation; up to 5 times lower for typical
3V relays. The ULN2003LV driver is pin-to-pin
compatible with ULN2003 family of devices in similar
packages.

Logic Level Shifter
The ULN2003LV supports 3.3V to 5V CMOS logic
input interface thus making it compatible to a wide
range of micro-controllers and other logic interfaces.
The ULN2003LV features an improved input interface
that minimizes the input DC current drawn from the
external drivers. The ULN2003LV features an input
RC snubber that greatly improves its performance in
noisy operating conditions. The ULN2003LV channel
inputs feature an internal input pull-down resistor thus
allowing input logic to be tri-stated. The ULN2003LV
may also support other logic input levels, for
example, TTL and 1.8V, refer to the Application
Information section for details.
The ULN2003LV provides flexibility of increasing
current sink capability through combining several
adjacent channels in parallel. Under typical conditions
the ULN2003LV can support up to 1.0A of load
current when all 7-channels are connected in parallel.
The ULN2003LV can also be used in a variety of
applications requiring a sink drivers like driving LEDs
and Logic Level Shifting.

System Examples (continued)
8.3.5 1.8-V Relay Driver
To drive lower voltage relays, like 1.8V, connect two or more adjacent channels in parallel as shown in Figure 13.
Connecting several channels in parallel lowers the channel output resistance and thus minimizes VOL for a fixed
current.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The COM pin is the power supply pin of this device to power the gate drive circuitry. Although not required but
depending on the power supply, TI recommends to put a bypass capacitor of 100 nF across the Vcom pin and
Gnd.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Thin traces can be used on the input due to the low current logic that is typically used to drive ULN2003LV. Take
care 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 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 ground, it is best to size that trace width to be very wide. Some applications require up to 1
A.

10.3 On-Chip Power Dissipation
Use Equation 3 to calculate ULN2003LV on-chip power dissipation PD:

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.

10.4 Thermal Considerations
TI recommends to limit ULN2003LV IC’s die junction temperature to less than 125°C. The IC junction
temperature is directly proportional to the on-chip power dissipation. Use the following equation to calculate the
maximum allowable on-chip power dissipation for a target IC junction temperature:
PD(MAX) =
(T
J(MAX)
- TA )
qJA
where
•
•
•
TJ(MAX) is the target maximum junction temperature.
TA is the operating ambient temperature.
RθJA is the package junction to ambient thermal resistance.
(4)
10.4.1 Improving Package Thermal Performance
The package RθJA value under standard conditions on a High-K board is listed in the Dissipation Ratings. RθJA
value depends on the PCB layout. An external heat sink and/or a cooling mechanism, like a cold air fan, can help
reduce RθJA and thus improve device thermal capabilities. Refer to TI’s design support web page at
www.ti.com/thermal for a general guidance on improving device thermal performance.
