Power Distribution Switches

Darlington arraylow-side driverrelay driverSOP18

ULN2803G is an SOP18 array of eight NPN Darlington low-side drivers with integrated clamp diodes, intended for relay, solenoid, lamp, LED and motor-control loads.

Best for

  • Low-side switching of relays and solenoids
  • Lamp, LED and motor driver interfaces

Avoid if

  • A high-side driver or regulated output is required
  • The load exceeds the device voltage, current or thermal limits

Check before use

  • Confirm COM is connected correctly when using the integrated clamp diodes
  • Check total package power dissipation and ambient temperature
  • Resolve the datasheet channel-count wording against the eight-channel pinout
