DS2003

High Current/Voltage Darlington Drivers

General Description

The DS2003 is comprised of seven high voltage, high cur-

rent NPN Darlington transistor pairs. All units feature com-

mon emitter, open collector outputs. To maximize their effec-

tiveness, these units contain suppression diodes for

inductive loads and appropriate emitter base resistors for

leakage.

The DS2003 has a series base resistor to each Darlington

pair, thus allowing operation directly with TTL or CMOS oper-

ating at supply voltages of 5.0V.

The DS2003 offers solutions to a great many interface

needs, including solenoids, relays, lamps, small motors, and

LEDs. Applications requiring sink currents beyond the capa-

bility of a single output may be accommodated by paralleling

the outputs.
