The DS2003 is comprised of seven high voltage, high current NPN Darlington transistor pairs. All units feature common emitter, open collector outputs. To maximize their effectiveness, these units contain suppression diodes for inductive loads and appropriate emitter base resistors for leakage. The DS2003 offers solutions to a great many interface needs, including solenoids, relays, lamps, small motors, and LEDs. Applications requiring sink currents beyond the capability of a single output may be accommodated by paralleling the outputs.
The DS2003 is a seven-channel high voltage, high current NPN Darlington transistor driver featuring common emitter, open collector outputs. It includes suppression diodes for inductive loads and series base resistors allowing direct operation with TTL or CMOS at 5.0V supply voltages. The device is designed to interface with solenoids, relays, lamps, small motors, and LEDs.
