What’s inside the ULN2003 Darlington driver chip

Leave a Comment / Tech News Updates / By

We often receive comments that while our microchip photos are beautiful and interesting, it is completely unclear how integrated circuit implements basic elements and form larger circuit. Of course it is impossible to do a detailed review of an 1’000’000 transistor chip, so we’ve found simpler example: ULN2003 – array of Darlington transistors. Despite it’s …
