Using the ULN2003LV integrated circuit, customers can reduce board space by up to 80 percent, while lowering power consumption and cost.
Key features and benefits of the ULN2003LV:
•High performance in noisy environments: Input resistor capacitor snubber greatly improves the driver performance in noisy operating conditions.
•Channel grouping for higher current loads: Internal input pull-down resistor allows input logic to be tri-stated for greater efficiency at higher loads.
•Lower power: Seven low-output impedance drivers minimize on-chip power dissipation, providing five times lower power consumption versus the competition.
•Wider device compatibility: The relay’s 1.8-V to 5-V CMOS logic input interface is compatible with a wider range of microcontrollers and other logic interfaces compared to the competition.
Availability, packaging and pricing:
The ULN2003LV is available in 10-mm x 4-mm, 16-pin SOIC and 5.1-mm x 4.5-mm, 16-pin TSSOP packages. Suggested retail pricing in 100-unit quantities is $0.15.
