ULN2803a is an eight-channel Darlington array used to interface microcontrollers to high voltage, high current devices such as solenoids, lamps, relays, etc. It has the capacity to drive 500mA into a single channel, up to 250mA per channel if four of the eight channels are active and 125 mA per channel if all the eight channels are active. Its output has clamp diodes for transient suppression to protect the low-power microcontroller circuits. ULN2803 is commonly used for controlling large seven-segment displays.
