Designed to interface logic to a wide variety of high current, high voltage loads, these devices each contain four NPN Darlington switches delivering up to 1.5 A with a specified minimum breakdown of 50 V and a sustaining voltage of 35 V measured at 100 mA. Inputs of the ULN2065B are compatible with popular 5V logic families.
Features
Output current to 1.5A for each Darlington.
Minimum breakdown 80V.
Sustaining voltage at least 35V.
Integral suppression diodes.
Versions compatible with all popular logic families.
PINOUT
Pin No.
