What are the key features of ULN2074B?
- 4-channel Darlington transistor array with open-collector outputs rated to sink high inductive loads directly from logic-level inputs
- Integrated transient suppression diodes on each channel protect against back-EMF spikes from relays, solenoids, and motor coils
- Standard input characteristics accept signals from TTL, CMOS, and NMOS logic without additional interface components in 16-pin DIP
What is ULN2074B used for?
The ULN2074B is used to drive inductive loads such as relay coils, solenoids, stepper motor windings, and lamp drivers directly from low-current microcontroller or logic outputs. The 4-channel Darlington array with built-in flyback diodes makes it a compact, single-package solution for industrial control boards, home automation relay modules, and printer motor drive circuits. Its 16-pin DIP format simplifies prototyping and field-service replacement in through-hole designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many output channels does the ULN2074B have and what types of loads can each channel drive?
The ULN2074B has 4 output channels, each capable of sinking high current through open-collector Darlington outputs; typical loads include relay coils, solenoids, stepper motor windings, and lamps operating at voltages up to the rated collector-emitter breakdown of the device.
Does the ULN2074B include protection against inductive kickback from relays and solenoids?
Yes, the ULN2074B integrates built-in transient suppression diodes on each output channel, clamping the back-EMF voltage spike generated when relay coils or solenoids are de-energized, which protects the Darlington transistors and upstream logic without external freewheeling diodes.
Can the ULN2074B inputs be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller without level shifters?
The ULN2074B uses standard input characteristics compatible with TTL and CMOS logic levels; at 3.3 V supply, designers should verify the input high voltage threshold against their specific logic, but the standard Darlington input stage typically turns on reliably from a 3.3 V CMOS output with sufficient base current.
What package does the ULN2074B come in and how does it compare to the ULN2003A for a 4-channel relay board?
The ULN2074B uses a 16-pin DIP package and provides 4 channels, whereas the ULN2003A uses a 16-pin DIP with 7 channels; for a 4-relay board the ULN2074B may offer higher per-channel current ratings, while the ULN2003A is preferred when 7 channels are needed in the same footprint.
