ULN2004APG Darlington Transistor Arrays DIP-16

ULN2004APG Darlington Transistor Arrays DIP-16

The ULN2004APG is a Darlington transistor array designed by Toshiba, which consists of seven NPN Darlington pairs. This integrated circuit provides high-current and high-voltage performance, suitable for driving inductive loads such as relays, motors, and lamps. It is specifically built to handle both high-speed switching and large currents, with built-in features that enhance reliability in demanding applications.

The Darlington pairs within the ULN2004APG enable it to drive large loads with small input signals. This makes it ideal for interfacing with logic circuits, particularly in applications that require the control of relays or other high-power loads with relatively low-voltage control signals. It offers significant power-handling capabilities, making it useful in industrial control systems.

Featuring integral clamp diodes for protecting against inductive load switching, the ULN2004APG ensures safe and reliable operation even when handling high-energy inductive components. Its compact DIP-16 packaging and its compatibility with both PMOS and CMOS logic make it a versatile choice for a wide range of electronic applications.
