See Graph Operating Temperature Range, T A... - C to +8 C Storage Temperature Range, T S... - C to + C Ideally suited for interfacing between low-level logic circuitry and multiple peripheral power loads, the Series ULNxxA/L high-voltage, high-current Darlington arrays feature continuous load current ratings to ma for each of the seven drivers. At an appropriate duty cycle depending on ambient temperature and number of drivers turned ON simultaneously, typical power loads totaling over W ( ma x 7, 9 V) can be controlled. Typical loads include relays, solenoids, stepping motors, magnetic print hammers, multiplexed LED and incandescent displays, and heaters. All devices feature open-collector outputs with integral clamp diodes. The ULNA/L and ULNA/L have series input resistors selected for operation directly with V TTL or CMOS. These devices will handle numerous interface needs particularly those beyond the capabilities of standard logic buffers. The ULNA/L and ULNA/L have series input resistors for operation directly from 6 to V CMOS or PMOS logic outputs. The ULNA/L and ULNA/L are the standard Darlington arrays. The outputs are capable of sinking ma and will withstand at least V in the OFF state. Outputs may be paralleled for higher load current capability. The ULNA/L and ULNA/L will withstand 9 V in the OFF state. These Darlington arrays are furnished in 6-pin dual in-line plastic packages (suffix A ) and 6-lead surface-mountable SOICs (suffix L ). All devices are pinned with outputs opposite inputs to facilitate ease of circuit board layout. All devices are rated for operation over the temperature range of - C to +8 C. Most (see matrix, next page) are also available for operation to - C; to order, change the prefix from ULN to ULQ.
