ULN2003V12
SLRS060C – MAY 2012 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2016
ULN2003V12 7-Channel Relay and Inductive Load Sink Driver
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The ULN2003V12 device is a low-power upgrade of
TI’s popular ULN2003 family of 7-channel Darlington
transistor array. The ULN2003V12 sink driver
features 7 low-output impedance drivers that
minimize on-chip power dissipation. When driving a
typical 12-V relay coil, a ULN2003V12 can dissipate
up to 12 times lower power than an equivalent
ULN2003A. The ULN2003V12 driver is pin-to-pin
compatible with ULN2003 family of devices.

Total current sink may be limited by the internal junction
temperature, absolute maximum current levels, and so forth
(see Electrical Characteristics for details).
The ULN2003V12 supports 3.3-V to 5-V CMOS logic
input interface thus making it compatible to a wide
range of microcontrollers and other logic interfaces.
The ULN2003V12 also supports other logic input
levels, like TTL or 1.8 V. Each output of the
ULN2003V12 features an internal free-wheeling diode
connected in a common-cathode configuration at the
COM pin.
The ULN2003V12 provides flexibility of increasing
current sink capability through combining several
adjacent channels in parallel. Under typical conditions
the ULN2003V12 can support up to 1 A of load
current when all 7-channels are connected in parallel.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The ULN2003V12 device is a seven channel low-side NMOS driver capable of driving 100-mA Load with 3-V
input drive voltage through each channel. This device can drive relays, LEDs, or resistive loads up to 16 V. The
ULN2003V12 supports 3.3-V to 5-V CMOS logic input interface, thus making it compatible to a wide range of
microcontrollers and other logic interfaces. The ULN2003V12 features an improved input interface that minimizes
the input DC current drawn from the external drivers. The ULN2003V12 features an input RC snubber that
greatly improves its performance in noisy operating conditions. The ULN2003V12 channel inputs feature an
internal input pulldown resistor, thus allowing input logic to be tri-stated. The ULN2003V12 may also support
other logic input levels (for example, TTL and 1.8 V).

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.1 TTL and Other Logic Inputs
ULN2003V12 input interface is specified for standard 3-V and 5-V CMOS logic interface. However, ULN2003V12
input interface may support other logic input levels as well. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 to establish VOL and the
corresponding typical load current levels for various input voltage ranges. See Applications and Implementation
for an implementation to drive 1.8-V relays using ULN2003V12.
7.3.2 Input RC Snubber
ULN2003V12 features an input RC snubber that helps prevent spurious switching in noisy environment. Connect
an external 1-kΩ to 5-kΩ resistor in series with the input to further enhance ULN2003V12’s noise tolerance.
7.3.3 High-impedance Input Drivers
ULN2003V12 features a 300-kΩ input pulldown resistor. The presence of this resistor allows the input drivers to
be tri-stated. When a high-impedance driver is connected to a channel input the ULN2003V12 detects the
channel input as a low level input and remains in the OFF position. The input RC snubber helps improve noise
tolerance when input drivers are in the high-impedance state.

8 Applications 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.
8.1 Application Information
Peripheral drivers such as the ULN2003V12 are primarily used in the following applications:
• Stepper Motor Driving
• Relay and Solenoid Driving
• LED Driving
• Logic Level Shifting
Peripheral Drivers are not limited to one specific application at a time, but can be used for all of these
applications simultaneously. For example, one device could enable driving one stepper motor, driving one relay,
driving an LED, and shifting a 3.3-V logic signal to a 12-V logic signal at the same time.
8.2 Typical Applications

Typical Applications (continued)
8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The unconnected input channels can be used for other functions. When an input pin is left open, the internal 300kΩ pulldown resistor pulls the respective input pin to GND potential. For higher noise immunity use an external
short across an unconnected input and GND pins. See Stepper Motor Driving with Peripheral Drivers (SLVA767)
for additional information regarding stepper motor driving.

8.2.2 Inverting Logic Level Shifter
To use ULN2003V12 as an open-drain inverting logic level shifter, configure the device as shown in Figure 6.
The device input and output logic levels can also be set independently. When using different channel input and
output logic voltages, connect the ULN2003V12 COM pin to the maximum voltage.

Typical Applications (continued)
8.2.2.1 Design Requirements
ULN2003V12 can be used in digital applications requiring logic level shifting up to 16 V at the output side.
Because the device pulls the output transistor low when input is high, this configuration is useful for applications
requiring inverting logic with the level shifting operation.
8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
To operate in level shifting operation, timing and propagation delay must be kept in mind. Depending on the
pullup resistors at the output ULN2003V12 exhibits different propagation delays. The choice of pullup resistor is
dependent on the drive required at the output. The device can pull output to ground with the output transistor, but
to transition from low to high output resistor plays a critical role. If high drive at output is required, use Equation 1
to calculate a lower resistance.
RPullup = OUT1_VSUP / IDrive
(1)
For example, a drive of 5 mA is required at the output for 1.8-V to 5-V translation application.
RPullup = OUT1_VSUP / IDrive = 5 / 0.005 =1k

8.2.3 Maximum Supply Selector

8.2.3.1 Design Requirements
This setup configures ULN2003V12’s channel clamp diodes OUT5 to OUT7 in a diode-OR configuration and thus
the maximum supply among V1, V2, and V3 becomes available at the COM pin. The maximum supply is then
used as a pullup voltage for level shifters. Limit the net GND pin current to less than 100-mA DC to ensure
reliability of the conducting diode. The unconnected inputs IN5 to IN7 are pulled to GND potential through
300-kΩ internal pulldown resistor.

8.2.5.1 Design Requirements
The output channels sharing a common pullup resistor implement a logic NOR of the respective channel inputs.
Node A is controlled by inputs IN1 and IN2 as described in Table 2 (Positive Logic Function: A = IN1+IN2). Node
B is controlled by inputs IN3 and IN4 as described in Table 3 (Positive Logic Function: B = IN3+IN4). Node C is
controlled by inputs IN5, IN6, and IN7 as described in Table 4 (Positive Logic Function C = IN5+IN6+IN7).

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The COM pin is the power supply pin of this device to power the gate drive circuitry. Although not required, TI
recommends putting a bypass capacitor of 0.1 µF across the COM pin and GND pin.
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 ULN2003V12.
Take care to separate the input channels as much as possible, as to eliminate cross-talk. TI recommends thick
traces for the output to drive high currents that may be required. Wire thickness can be determined by the trace
material's current density and desired drive current. Because 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 Thermal Considerations
10.3.1 On-chip Power Dissipation
Use Equation 3 to calculate ULN2003V12 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
(3)
10.3.2 Thermal Reliability
TI recommends limiting the ULN2003V12 IC’s die junction temperature to less than 125°C. The IC junction
temperature is directly proportional to the on-chip power dissipation. Use Equation 4 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
θJA is the package junction to ambient thermal resistance
