UTC ULN2004

LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

7CH DARLINGTON SINK DRIVER

DESCRIPTION
The UTC ULN2004 is high-voltage, high-current darlington
drivers comprised of seven NPN darlingto pairs.
All units feature integral clamp diodes for switching
inductive loads. Applications include relay, hammer, lamp
an display (LED)drivers.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USING

This IC does not include built-in protection circuits for excess current or overvoltage.
If this IC is subjected to excess current or overvoltage ,it may be destroyed.
Hence,the utmost care must be taken when systems which incorporate this IC are designed.
Utmost care is necessary in the design of the output line,COMMON and GND line since IC may be destroyed
due to short-circuit between outputs,air containation fault,or fault by improper grounding.
