Working Principles

The ULQ2004ADRG4 is based on the Darlington transistor configuration, which provides high current gain and low saturation voltage. When an input signal is applied to one of the input pins, the corresponding output pin turns on, allowing current to flow through the connected load. The built-in clamp diodes protect the IC and other components from voltage spikes generated by inductive loads.
