What are the key features of ULN2069B?
- 4-channel NPN Darlington array with 1.5 A per-channel sink current at up to 50 V, three times the drive capacity of standard 500 mA arrays for high-power relay and solenoid control
- Logic-level compatible inputs allow direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO without additional buffer stages
- Integrated transient suppression clamp diodes on all 4 output channels protect against inductive back-EMF spikes exceeding 50 V
- 16-pin DIP package enables tool-free prototype assembly on breadboards and low-cost PCBs for industrial and automation designs
What is ULN2069B used for?
The ULN2069B is suited for industrial relay driver boards and PLC output modules that require 4 independent high-current channels each capable of sinking 1.5 A from 24 V or 48 V solenoid and contactor coils driven directly by microcontroller logic. Its logic-level compatible inputs and integrated flyback diodes simplify PCB design for stepper motor winding drivers, lamp and heater control circuits, and high-side load switching via external P-channel MOSFETs. The DIP-16 package also makes it a popular choice for educational robotics and benchtop prototyping where breadboard compatibility is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What output current can each channel of the ULN2069B sink, and how does this compare to the ULN2003A?
Each of the ULN2069B's 4 channels sinks up to 1.5 A continuous collector current at up to 50 V, which is three times the 500 mA per-channel rating of the 7-channel ULN2003A. The ULN2069B trades two fewer channels for significantly higher per-channel drive, making it the preferred choice when fewer but heavier inductive loads such as 1 A relay coils or stepper motor half-windings must be controlled.
Which input voltage levels are compatible with the ULN2069B, and can 3.3 V microcontrollers drive it reliably?
The ULN2069B is characterized as logic-level compatible with an input high threshold of approximately 1.5 V to 2.0 V, so both 3.3 V and 5 V CMOS or TTL outputs reliably turn on the Darlington pairs. Input current at 3.3 V is typically under 1 mA per channel, which stays within the GPIO sourcing limits of most ARM Cortex-M and AVR microcontrollers without additional buffering.
For a 24 V pneumatic valve bank requiring 4 solenoids at 1 A each, is the ULN2069B a suitable single-package solution?
Yes. The ULN2069B provides exactly 4 open-collector output channels each rated for 1.5 A sink and 50 V, comfortably covering 4 × 1 A at 24 V solenoid loads in a single DIP-16 package. The integrated 50 V clamp diodes handle the inductive kick from each valve coil at turn-off, eliminating 4 external freewheeling diodes and saving both cost and PCB area.
Does the ULN2069B support paralleling of channels to drive a single load above 1.5 A?
Yes, two channels of the ULN2069B can be connected in parallel — inputs tied together and outputs tied together — to share current and increase the effective sink capability to approximately 3 A at 50 V for a single load. This technique is common for driving 24 V DC motor windings or large solenoids that exceed the single-channel 1.5 A rating, using the remaining 2 channels for independent loads.
