Lo Vce Equivalent replacement for ULN2003

whizbang · 2018-03-12 01:38:23

A 5v application, uses one of these 2003 open collector drivers for a bunch of relays. But the 2003 has a Vce Sat of >0.85V in this application, which is too high to reliably drive the relays. Ideally need a pin-pin compatible 7channel lo side driver/switch with low Rds/Vsat Have looked at TPL7407 - 5v is too low. TBD62003…

Have looked at TPL7407 - 5v is too low. TBD62003 has similar Vds to 2003..

Any suggestions thanks ?

Ask here.
Chances of a suitable answer are a few orders of magnitude higher.

The problem is these are based on a darlington transistor, which can't be saturated. Ideally if you can find a mosfet equivalent, that should do the job for you.
